Infinite - Last Romeo (Season 2)

So today I will be writing about a comeback that I was really anticipating.




So Infinite is back, after many marketing procedures for their come back they finally are back with their second full lenght album.
Firts let write about their promotional song "Last Romeo"
 

Now if you are not familiar with Infinite then you might be asking yourself who are they. Well let me explain in a few words. Infinite is a male idol group, which has seven members. They indeed very popular in Korea and have fans around the globe as well. The famous for their precision in their choreography and always have really nice and catchy songs. They have become so popular lately that they have had last year their first world tour, visiting various places in the world.


So yeah, if you don't know them then just keep reading and watch the video I leave at the end :)
Now let's keep with the review ^o^



The song has that retro, bright aspect that it is really characteristic of Infinite, it sort of made remember their old songs, it is powerful and cheerful. Different from Destiny and Man in Love. To be honest I think it is a really good promotional song, it highlights the vocal ability of each member.Great come back song!


The video, well is not colorful as I expected, quite dark, I think is different from the song.
The style is good though, the black suits and white, quite classic and suit well to each one of them. The dance is what you will expect from Infinite indeed, precision and quality, no doubt these guys work very hard!
I love the idea of the library but I think it could have been developed better, so at the end again the story line doesn't make much sense, but it was a good try.



The album.- Season 2 -
It has ballad, dance songs and solo songs. Very nice album indeed. I am not a ballad fan but must confess that there is a ballad that melts my heart. The dance songs have nice retro beat, a sound we already are familiar with Infinite which is nice to hear again.
Then we have Woohyun solo, a nice soft ballad that highlights his voice perfectly. Then we have Sunggyu's solo, it made me remember his solo debut and actually made me want for a come back of his solo career. The song is nice, the type of song you will enjoy hearing to.
Then we have Infinite H, actually I am not really fond of this song, even though I love Infinite H and loved their debut album! but not even on their first album like their song, I mean I can listen to it but it just doesn't capture me. 
And what was new was Infinite F song, I did like it and is very Infinite so in somehow at least for me wasn't much different from a Infinite song.
[UPDATE]
My apologies I didn't write song by song but at the moment I wrote this didn't have the time.So now will write properly.
First we have the intro. Usually I am not attracted to intros, but this one I actually like, is quite dramatic.

Second we Last Romeo, do I have to say it again? I really like it :)

Third we have Follow Me, a very Infinite song, once you listen you will know what I mean, it has that thing like their previous song. I like the upbeat and how the voices follow.

Fourth is 로시난테,another very Infinite song, is one of those songs that make you happy you know what I mean? just listening to it makes you mood better. I love to singing along specially the oooohh oooohhh baby :P

Fifth is 숨 좀 쉬자, another song with great vibe, there is something on this song that makes me remember Come Back Again or maybe is just me.
Sixth we have SungKyu's solo Light, as I mentioned before it made remember his debut album and makes me want for a solo come back. To be honest I love his solo songs, the song is different from Infinite, in a good way, maybe reflects more of his colors (?) I don't know but he has that something

Seventh we have Infinite H's Alone, is different from their debut album, is not favorite but I am not saying is bad. It has more like a mature feeling, I don't know how to explain, is not up beat, but is great to listen the rapping skills of Hoya and Dongwoo

Eighth we got Memories, then we are back to the Infinite style, this song gives me the impression of the sun coming out after the rain. I don't know it has the special something. All voices makes the song perfect.

Ninth we have  나란 사람 and the revolutions go down and we have a nice ballad. Even though I am not ballad fan this song is fantastic, it starts so slow and then SunKyu's voice becomes high and powerful, is a song that gives me the shivers, just love it!The cool things is that the high and powerful part is not only SunKyu but Woohyun, but you can appreciate the colors of their voices nicely.

Tenth we got Reflex and after the sweet slow song we again become ready to dance, with an up vibe song, with that nice retro melody that Infinite has the tendency to have in their songs. It is a sweet song.

Eleventh we have the debut song of Infinite F, the song is  미치겠어follows the nice sweet tune that the previous song had, like a surreal melody, very nice, very Infinite.

Twelfth we have Woohyun's solo song 눈을 감으면, a nice slow ballad, where you can appreciate his vocal quality. This solo song made me remember his first solo song on the first album, so I guess follows that harmony.

And lastly we have 소나기, once again up beat, it doesn't have that sweetness retro, is different but is something that is definitely Infinite and that you only imagine them singing this song. I like the fact that the last song has so much energy.

 

Conclusion, A good come back indeed! Infinite is one of those bands who have the best quality in the Kpop industry, their dance is perfect and vocals are good as well. So I am glad to hear their music again and with a melody that suit the more. Music with power and brightness as well :)
One thing I forgot to mention is that I love the fact that you can notice that the members have matured vocally, you can appreciate better the voices of the members who usually don't have much lines (Sungyol or Dongwoo) and this time in songs the lines seem more shared between members ^^
Now I will leave their latest music video-Last Romeo-
