INFINITE H - Special Girl MV
I was completely obsessed with this MV for a while. There were just so many aspects of this MV I loved. The variety of colors, the CEO's cameo as the floor sweeper (ahaha), Hoya's cute awkwardness when the girl is in front of him, Dong Woo's skinship with the girl and his expressions...the list goes on.
Maybe it's because not a lot of KPOP MVs follow the lyrics, but I always immediately approve of a MV if it actually follows the lyrics of the song. And already in about...the first minute? of the MV, I was like, "Awww yeah this MV is already looking good." For example, when Hoya has to hug the girl at the end of the movie scene, he stops awkwardly in front of her and is unable to hug her - the lyrics in that scene goes like this: "Why does my body freeze once you're in front of me."
INFINITE H - Without You MV
Not much to say about this MV, except that Dong Woo makes me sad as he does not exist in my life ;___; stop being so perfect ok you life ruiner OTL. Overall, it's a visually appealing MV, although the switch between scenes do get hectic at times during the chorus.

Comments on each of the tracks:
Victorious Way: I initially disliked this song because I found the part where the DJ plays with the CD? (I'm sorry if there's a correct term for this, but I don't know what to call it if there is one, so...yea forgive me) Annoying. But now this is one of the songs I listen to nowadays to cheer myself up. It's kind of weird because this song isn't in anyway particularly a cheery song, but it bursts with confidence and enthusiasm - things I need to get through every day. My favorite parts include the lyrics "the rule that when I get bigger the world gets smaller," and "we walking on the victorious way".
Special Girl (ft. Bumkey): This used to be my favorite track on the mini album...and now I don't know which is my favorite - probably Victorious Way? Anyway, I really liked this track because...well Bumkey's vocals are really soothing to listen to, plus the lyrics are really cute too. I especially like when Dong Woo raps "But why is reality different from my heart, you don't even know my name, I quietly pass by you again today". I can totally relate to those lyrics, as I'm really bad at confessing my feeling or even becoming friends with a person that I like. I usually just think, "Should I talk to him, should I talk to him, should I...oh well whatever it's ok"
Without You (ft. Zion T): I initially disliked this song (heck, I initially disliked this entire album lol), but now I like it enough to feel a small pang of happiness whenever it comes up on my iPod on shuffle. To point out a part I like in this song - when Dong Woo says "I want to hug you" and he emphasizes the "hug" part (which sounds like warak).
I Can't (ft. Gaeko of Dynamic Duo): The aspect I like the best about this song is Gaeko's singing. I knew that he could rap, but damn, his singing is really nice too.
Fly High (ft. Baby Soul): I really like Baby Soul's vocals here, but the lyrics are really what does justice for this song for me personally. Some of my favorite lines include: "바쁜 하루에 피로함이 쌓여가? 아냐 이건 피로 아닌 꿈꿔왔던 삶" which means "Am I getting more and more tired on a busy day? No this isn't tiredness but the life I dreamed of", and "끝이 없어 우리 팀 이름처럼" which means "No limits like our team name", and finally "내가 모자랄 땐 멤버들이 got my back" which means "When I lack something my members got my back".
Overall, this turned out to be a really, really nice album. Although by now my obsession for this album has died down (which is a shame), I really did enjoy listening to all the songs while I was still obsessed with it. And although it does sound like I don't like this album that much because I didn't write enough comments regarding each track...but I only wrote so little because I have no idea how to accurately describe my feelings for the tracks. They're all just...amazing. This is an album I definitely recommend. And if those of you who aren't fans of hip hop don't feel like listening to it, I'm not sure if this will convince you to listen at all, but I'm not even close to an avid fan of hip hop, yet I managed to enjoy this album a lot. So yeah, listen to the album when you're bored and in need of new music~I apologize again for the late post, I need to stop being so lazy sometimes...haha xD
