It's here~~!!

I'm listening to the album with my friend, so I couldn't listen to all the songs just yet, we ran out of time, but so far I've listened to The Rules, SERVE, and Extancy! I can't choose favorites of the ones I've heard just yet--they're all FANTASTIC--but I love how cohesive this album is! I cannot wait for the dances!! I'm going to learn SERVE and maybe Extancy, is what I've already decided. I'm obsessed though! As soon as I listen to the full album, I'm changing my layout to be about this album

Okay, who is this woman? And what is she running from? This MV seems to set XLOV up as gods or monarchs; them playing chess could symbolize them controlling people or a world. The woman seems very terrified but slightly awed of them, but they are mostly indifferent and seem somewhat amused by her, which, again, reminds me of a god or monarch. It's like she's something of a pawn to them--small, insignificant, useful, controllable. But then Mama Muti is very motherly towards her (of course) and she comes to trust them more. It sort of looks like Wumuti is blessing her? Then we see her with the sword that Hyun had previously, and it looks like she's returning to their castle again, as if she'd left to go fight something, but then she throws the sword...somewhere off screen. I really can't tell how she feels about XLOV, but it certainly seems like she's under their control to some degree. She seems somewhat wary of them by the end. There are some scenes when Lavenderz and Hattiez are in kind of opposite aesthetics--Lavenderz in white and feathers and lace and tulle, very flowy and soft, and Hattiez feel more--punk? inspired? A bit gothic but more punk. I'm not really sure what that symbolizes, but it's visually very cool. And okay, "Je te dévore"??? Idk how many of you speak French, but that means "I devour you" which is just??? All of the lyrics are very "we are gods" which 🙌 yes you are! Also the choreo does feel very vogue inspired, which I am very excited about! I love the vibe of this song. It definitely does feel different than what XLOV has done in the past, but it suits them! Edit: Also all the pictures of eyes behind Haru kind of give the vibes of omniscience--like "we see everything"

HIPS is so good. I made one of my non-kpop friends listen to the album (actually, they volunteered after I told them about XLOV, they said they sounded interesting and to send them the album when it came out) and they said it was their favorite in the album

"Haru Pikachu" makes me smile every time I hear it

I really love the choreo too! It looks so fun, and Saruharuz just kill it. I do wish there was more hip movement though. There doesn't seem to be all that much, considering the title
