Review: B.A.P- One Shot


Y'ALL NEED BULLETPROOF VESTS. IF A DROP OF YOUR BLOOD SPILLS B.A.P, I WILL GO CRAY. 
Fellow Warriors (I refuse to use the "Baby" fandom name) this is the B.A.P we have been waiting for. Yes "Crash" and "Stop It" was a cutesy interval, but we weren't hooked in to the fandom by aegyo. No. We were lured in by their kick-ass debut "Warrior" and their fierceness in "Power", we finally have that back, and for that let us take a breath of relief. 

Now lets talk of the song and the MV. 
From left to right: Youngjae, Daehyun, Himchan, Bang Yong Guk, Jongup and Zelo
The song is very dramatic however I feel the background audio doesn't really match parts of the actual song. Except the chorus, I find it didn't match the speed of Bang Yong Guk's rapping, it totally worked for Zelo's rap, but that kid has skill. I also find Youngjae's voice better for this song for some reason...I honestly love Daehyun but I really dig it when TS Ent. give Youngjae amazing parts in songs because he can wooorrrkkk it. I mean he isn't main vocal for nothing, even though Daehyun has pretty much taken that spot. I still prefer B.A.P's earlier work.

The stylists have finally listened to us and toned down the hair of our boys. Gone are the platinum blond locks which have been replaced by more natural-ish colours. CAN SOMEONE STOP DYEING ZELO'S HAIR. Even I'm 16 and my scalp hasn't been burned like his has. They also put our guys in more tank tops and leather. Sexxxaaayyy. 
The dance is flawless. Except when baby Zelo went a bit crazy and thought he was a critter. I swear if he does that move in every live performance I would piss myself laughing...and be slightly concerned for how bruised his back must be. 
I honestly love storyline MVs and B.A.P has done it well both times in "Crash" and now in "One Shot". Funny bits include smacking Jongup with a bat just to deliver a USB. Mate, just give the damn USB, and Yong Guk, what are you doing just standing there letting them get away?! Another funny bit is the useless scene in the beginning when the guys are pimpin in a boat:
"We're on a boat motherfuckas"

There's also those painful scenes of Youngjae getting beaten up. I think he was totally the best actor out of all of them. If you guys have watched "Rain Sound" their "dying faces" were atrocious. There was even face rubbing whilst they were dying. No bitch just die. Can we also get these guys bulletproof vests cos this is the second MV now where they die by being trigger happy, for Yong Guk, this is the third. Actually. Can we just not give these guys guns? You got that? We don't want a repeat of shit like this:
THEN THERE WAS THAT PLOT TWIST


The emotional turmoil was too much for me.

Thanks for stopping by!
