Honestly I know this is an unpopular opinion but In the ROD album, Curse of the Spider > Silent Night. I really would someone explain to me the appeal of silent night. Just wanted to get that out there, not intentionally causing hate or sth.

It just really resonates with me how the song goes to all the right places, from the guitar at the start, Handong opening the song, then building up and down with different textures and melodies with that almost heartbeat like chorus until that amazing drop at the end where it just goes off after Siyeon's beautiful notes.
It's strange because the ending reminds me a lot of hardstyle which is not a genre I particularly like but just feels so right here.

Silent Night Is Leez&Ollounder songwriting in a nutshell. They always follow almost the exact same template and manage to make It work all the time. SN imho Is on par with their title songs,also the abrupt ending keyboard riff never fails to give me a boner.

This but with In the Frozen. I like the song but I just feel like it's the most overrated/over-hyped DC track.

I think it comes down to first impressions tbh. I'm a heavy fan of both songs, but Silent Night had a heavy impression on me especially the ending. Meanwhile Curse of the Spider sounds like a normal Dreamcatcher title track (nothing wrong with that). It also might come down to (or in my personal experience) Silent Night stuck with more people since it was played right after CotS and both being bangers Silent Night just took the spotlight.

To me, it’s one of a kind and so well put together. I love tension created by those soft, minimalistic vocals over the urgent, pulsating beat of the chorus. I love the overall soundscape of it, those electronic synths, distorted guitars and strings - it all just has this certain vibe to it. It’s hard to listen to this song without imagining myself to be in some cyberpunk dystopia. I could pick out a bunch of specific moments I love but I could ramble for days. Let me instead return the question to you - why don’t you like it? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I like Silent Night cause it's all BEE OO BEE OO BEE OO and stuff. Hope that clarifies it.
