ONEUS released their new comeback mini-album, Pygmalion, today!
This is their 8th mini-album since their debut in 2019, and their first album as a five-person group. I only recently got into ONEUS, thanks to my friend K, and this is my first comeback since becoming a fan.
Let’s give it a listen!
Track listing:
- “Intro: Lethe”
So apparently ONEUS leaned very hard into the Greek mythology with this album, which I love. This song, although super short at only 1:26 (much like the other intros on their albums) is really beautiful, with the strings in the background. - “Erase Me”
The second title track, and the one that was released today along with the album, is honestly my favorite, because of the intensity. I have a habit of preferring the really intense, “go crazy go stupid” songs, and this song, especially with the accompanying MV, is really good. - “Unforgettable”
This was the first title track that was released a few weeks ago, and the MV is a real gut punch. It comes across as the most “pop” of the songs from this album, but it also has a distinct rock feeling with the drums and - “Echo”
My first thought is this is a cute song! However, I am curious as to the translations, because of Leedo’s rap and some of the echoes/distortions in the song. - “Halley’s Comet”
THIS SONG. I haven’t been able to find a translation for it yet, but I am interested in seeing what it is. The emotion in this song is just…palpable. One of my friends on Twitter said that it gives him very Goo Goo Dolls vibes, and I can hear that with the guitar in the song and the chorus swelling.
The only thing I don’t like about the album is that it is SO short. It clocks in at just under 15 minutes for the whole thing! I was able to listen to the whole thing on my commute to work this morning – which is NOT long at all. I listened to all of ONEUS’ discography while working today, and even though they have released many mini-albums before, this just seemed very short. I really enjoyed it, though! The length is my only complaint.
