Hello Kpoppers of the universe,

I am here to talk about the final installment of VIXX's trilogy, Kratos. This comeback was epic and fierce as hell! "The Closer" was so cool and the MV was pretty cool. The Vixx members were, except for Ken, frozen in a scene while the camera moves around them was not what I expected it. I thought the ending to the trilogy would be something like consistent moving, flashing from screen-to-screen or something. But to see the members paused in the different scenes and Ken walking around to see the different scenes was interesting. To see it through Ken's eyes first and then to see him unraveling the story behind each scene was even cooler. I have to say that this was one of the songs to watch the dance for. The guys looked so cool, elegant and chic while dancing. We get to see some of N's beautiful lines while he dances.

Ravi also did most of the lyric writing for every song on the album. How cool is that! The rest of the album was good, each song plays an interesting part in the finale of their trilogy.

"Desperate" is a solid song. I like the chorus of course, but the build up from the dark verse to the popping chorus is what makes the song stand out.

Next is "Shooting Star". It is soooo VIXX. Always going back to their fans, Starlights. It's really nice to hear an enjoyable song from them that you can get up and dance to. Just a fun and happy song to listen to like if you're having a bad day.

  "Good Night & Good Morning" has great falsettos from Leo and Ken and great vocals from the rest of the members (and of course Ravi who slays rapping every time)! Not only that but Ravi created the lyrics and the music for this song all by himself! How awesome! The song is a bit off (I mostly mean the beat) but good, with Ravi and Hongbin leading with the vocals at the beginning. It's also a good song that leads right into the last song.

Finally, "The Romance is Over" sounds like a breakup song (or at leat sounds like someone trying to win their lover back and knowing that the end of the relationship is inevitable). The vocals are soft and pleading, good for the ears if you're trying to go to bed or just trying to relax those tired minds of yours. Also as a side note, Leo and Ravi wrote the lyrics together and Leo wrote the music! So lovely!!


Of course, then the official last song is the instrumental version of "The Closer".

That's all for now. Until next time, keep igniting your feels, and share your response to the album or the trilogy or whatever comes to mind.

P.S. I know these posts are several months late but I still wanted to post my thoughts about the albums...
