First Impact was the space theme that every Kep1ian wanted. It was loud, it was shouty, but it was very catchy. The introduction already had me captivated, with Xiaoting's alluring stage presence hooking me in. Then, Dayeon sealed the deal with her killer rap, with Yeseo slaying the scrap lines given to her. The MV wasn't the best, Yujin herself said it was filmed in an abandoned warehouse filled with bird poop. Xiaoting and Mashiro actually got rap lines, which is what they're good at. The vocals were kind of weak, but other than that it was one of the best releases and a strong debut for Kep1er.

Doublast really was the best and most successful comeback in my opinion. UP! was a masterpiece even though Yeseo got the least lines. However, all of the members got to stand out. Yeseo had the best solo screen and owned the intro, Dayeon and Hikaru had the amazing raps, Xiaoting and Bahiyyih had the visuals of models, Chaehyun and Youngeun had clearly worked on their vocals and everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. While it was not as popular as WA DA DA, people still liked it a lot. The line distribution was very unfair though, as the difference between Chaehyun and Yeseo was a lot.

This was Kep1er's flop era. The title track was way too loud and shouty, with that annoyingly catchy beat. I guess MNET tried to "save" the song with raps, but they added to the messiness of the song, excluding Mashiro's amazing rap. Xiaoting, Yujin, Chaehyun and Bahiyyih were the only members that got a bit of thought in their solo scenes. Youngeun's seemed bad as we could clearly tell she was standing on the floor, Dayeon and Hikaru were doing who knows what, Mashiro was in a kitchen with a power drill and Yeseo was just eating pizza the whole time. Such wasted talent and their biggest flop era.

Kep1er saved themselves from many unstanning fans with this comeback. The song was a lot more relaxed than We Fresh with a chill vibe throughout the song. Chaehyun and Mashiro had angelic visuals but Xiaoting, Bahiyyih, Dayeon and Yeseo slayed the introduction. The lyrics evolved from "Oh Oh Woah" and "Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go". I am really happy that they have LYREMUSICGROUP working on Giddy as they have released hits such as Gimme Love and Cry Wolf, as well as writing songs for other kpop groups like Sweet Juice (Purple Kiss). Kep1er redeemed themselves.

Galileo was extremely happy-sounding. Though I don't like the scientist reference to the name, the song is actually really solid for a title track. The song had an ethereal vibe to it. This song made me appreciate Dayeon and Yeseo's vocals more. Also Xiaoting stepped up with her solo bridge and high note! I feel like WakeOne was trying to make the song more popular when adding Bahiyyih to the dance break. It's pretty clear that Hikaru, Dayeon and Youngeun are the "most representative" dancers, while I think Yeseo, Xiaoting even Yujin would've been better dance break additions than bahiyyih, it was nice to see some more representation. Mashiro also executed the dance break well. Overall, one of my favourite Kep1er albums!
