SHINee "Everybody" mini album review: Noona likes!


First of all, I will take this moment to say- SHINee's back!! (haha, get it? :D *lame joke*)
But anyhoo, honestly, these boys have been working SO hard this year! It's like S.M Ent. just decided- " hey y'know what, let's get those SHINee boys back to work. We have other artists besides EXO too... Now where did that Super whatstheirname go?"

But seriously, SHINee's been releasing video after video, releasing SO many songs- and hell, I can't imagine how worked they must be! But most of their songs this year have shown their versatility. Since Lucifer, they have shown us that they're growing up too. They're no longer the noona's sweethearts that they used to be (although in my heart, they will always be noona's boys) *yes Taemin, I am looking at you; I am not noona to the others, haha* With the album Dream Girl- they did show a lot of their usual happy, love-struck self. But here is where I feel S.M made a brilliant move- Dream Girl (The Misconceptions of You) is filled with more cute-sy songs, while Why So Serious? (The Misconceptions of Me) is much darker, grittier. I feel this was very observant and clever since one generally does tend to exaggerate one's own faults and negativity while simultaneously overplaying your loved one's good traits- even making up characteristics where there are none- because admit it, you're just blindly in love to notice the dark bits.

Now back to the main topic- Everybody, their latest album.
Fabulous- yes. Jewellery is love. But honestly, I was hoping for something more..different? This somehow didn't cut it for me as a teaser pic, but that's just my opinion.

TBH, my first reaction was:

When the video teasers,etc started coming out I didn't really pay attention . But then the video of Everybody was released, and I was just like "oh hot damn, that choreography! hmm, the song's pretty catchy too, though the dub-step doesn't really let SHINee show their true vocal talent,etc,etc" But little did I realise that this was just the tip of the iceberg. 

Who knew Taemin would grow up so much? ♥~(‘▽^人)
(Also doesn't he remind you of Jaejoong from his Mirotic days?)

Taemin- please GAIN some weight! Noona is happy about you growing up, but please eat more!  ( ≧Д≦)
I shall try to be brief in my review but please bear in mind- I have a tendency to ramble (-_-" )
