Super Junior's new title song "Sorry Sorry" has been released and is the hottest new thing online. Thousands of CDs have already been pre-ordered, both in stores and online. The questions is: Do we like their new style? Many comments have complained about the lack of individual voice quality, claiming that it is now hard to tell the difference between the singers. Others have complained that the song is too similar to other songs that have been produced in the past in both the US and by SM Company.
Personally, I think the song is ok. My main complaint is that it lacks much of a tune, and is extremely repetitive. The entire seems to be basically the same heavy beat in the background, with the band members basically singing monotone. What is up with that? Personally, I feel that it has lost all of its Asian characteristics present in Super Junior's previous songs, and has over-Westernized. Where is the creativity? In the past, I loved Super Junior's songs because of their willingness to work with different styles and combine them in a way that works out in the end. Rarely do you see a band who's songs range so much, genre-wise, from "U" to "Don't Don" to "Miracle" to "Twins: Knock Out." The band has been able to produce a great variety of songs in the past that have all become part of the group's identity. This song totally lacks the creativity that I originally admired the group for. It is too heavy on the beat and becomes extremely boring, after all we hear is this monotone blurb.
Also, what is up with the new hairstyles? From the pictures already released, I am not at all pleased with the new images the group members have for the new CD. What have you done to their hair? SM Company, give us back our beloved Super Junior!
However, contrary to what it may seem, I am still a strong supporter of Super Junior. While this title song is not phenomenal, they definitely have the talent and the looks to pull of this CD. I'm psyched to hear the rest of the CD. Super Junior, Fighting! Jia You! Gambatte!
In particular, I can't wait for the music video. The group has quite a few extremely talented dancers. My favorite is Eunhyuk. I love his movements and the grace apparent in all of his motions. However, lets not forget Donghae, Hangeng, and Shindong! Everybody has looked amazing in the past and I'm really anticipating some awesome choreography. What has set Super Junior apart from many other groups is their ability to bring unique and amazing choreography, time after time after time. If anybody has any info on the upcoming music video, please share!
For anybody who hasn't listened to it yet...
