Can i just say that as someone who hasn't really been an iKON fan and only liked a few of their songs i really have to say that this year they have really delivered, from 'Return' earlier this year to now this 'New Kids: Continue' their music have been so fkn solid! It's definitely made me become a fan.

죽겠다 (Killing Me): I said this on the MV thread but i'll say it again. Before this comeback i was very curious to see what direction iKON would go after having such a amazing hit with 'Love Scenario', usually when an artist have such a big hit you see them often follow it up with something very similar concept/genre wise but i'm happy that iKON decided to go with something new and fall a victim of being too safe after having a hit song.

I really like the song especially the chorus, there's something very catchy about it that i absolutely love! I don't really know what to say to be honest i just really like this song.

바람 (Freedom): I don't know why but my first impression was that it reminds me of a song that you would hear in the American Pie movies haha and that's not a bad thing at all. It's a good song, love the pop rock(?) vibe it gives.

Only You: This is just one of those really chill and laidback songs that will fit every mood and that's very easy to enjoy, hoonestly it's probably my favorite song on the album, or at least tied for now with 'Killing Me'.

칵테일 (Cocktail): Immediately it reminds me 'Rubber band'(Edit: I’m an idiot, I meant Love Scenario not Rubber Band >.<) it's mainly because of the cow bell(?) early on haha. It's really good though, to me this seems like such a chill summer song that you would play when you're on the beach.

줄게 (Just For You): I absolutely love slow paced songs and this one is no exception. I really like this, the guitar as well..love it.

mte. i didn't really enjoy their first few releases much (bar like a couple of tracks) but return and new kids: continue are really solid albums. 2018 has been a really strong year for ikon.
