[Album and MV Review] f(x) - 'Red Light'

Miss seeing f(x)~ comeback!

Why does this not have a higher rating? It's beautiful, and f(x) was definitely in their element.

Krystal's tired of looking pretty? LOL. Krystal's always pretty tho. No matter what she wears ;3

I really loved Paper Heart the most, though. I love the low drum beating in the background, it kind of reminds me of Celtic music or something haha

All Night simply rocked it whether watching or just listening. All the girls got to show their singing and Luna really opens up on this tune. I'll bet I've given the vid a thousand hits myself. A perfect tune for f(x). Looks like Vic is giving Sulli a run for her money in the "visuals" category here....

Really? I thought that Red Light was absolutely fantastic, but was a little less experimental than Pink Tape.
Pink Tape had much more variety when it came to genres and tempo. The first time I listened to Pink Tape I thought it was very disjointed and weird and was definitely not catering to the masses (but eventually I fell in love with it).
 Most songs on this album tend to stick with f(x)'s signature electro pop sound. I'm not complaining because I adore it :D But that's my opinion.
I just love how unique f(x)'s sound is compared to the rest of SM (and the rest of the kpop world tbh). One of my favourite albums this year so far.

"Red Light" 's lyrics represent a competitive world that rushes straight into the wall, that's why we need a Red Light to stop the destruction of humanity. "Caterpillar" is mentioned in the lyrics because it's a famous USA brand of industrial construction which are used to destroy mainly the nature and all the ecosystem. We need this "red light" to realize the danger we feel all, but we must find the "blue light", the solution. I love how the video clip shows a lot of symbolism : the reign of technology (robots), the destruction of the knowledge of the past (the burned book), the war, the conflict, anarchism (black cat) etc. The melody is destabilizing and gives meaning to the lyrics : the song exemplifies the tone of the lyrics, the spoken words give a more powerful effect (ex: when they say "Because otherwise you would become a witness who will be remove", "This is the reality, listen to my voice", "this is a nightmare". In the instrumental we have a mixture of a sound of a needle of a clock (time is short), the sound of steps (a human army) and the sound of alarm sirens in the chorus (danger). I love how deep is the concept of the comeback of F(x), I'm proud of SM production. They really managed to renew the Kpop in a more innovative and experimental way.

i do agree Red Light is not your ears darling for 1 or 2times you hear it. but just dont give up the song magically will grows on ya hahahaha AY AY IT'S A RED LIGHT!

so the one who wrote the article saying that REDLIGHT is better than RISE album.. ???? 

I honestly attached to the album. And I liked Amber's part in Rainbow. Maybe that's only me? Then again I like House and Trap music. This definitely deviated from the mainstream and I'm impressed that f(x) took such bold steps and made an album that was steeped in contemporary sounds. Bravo f(x) for not being "overtly sexual" which is a desperate cry that tells me "I'm not popular, I have to think of something"! Thank you f(x) for not creating a generic love song as your title and for getting these K-poppers contemplating and thinking. Thank you SM for the visuals and editing, and no, not a poorly created boxed set. Thank you f(x) for executing a darker image of yourselves, for giving us a more "real" you, and expressing your talents more. Amber, thank you for Summer Lover and Paper Heart, you seriously know how to make some good music.

I look forward to their next quality album.

Rainbow is my favourite song on the album. I love f(x) because they were created to put out strange and different music from the mainstream sounds of SMs other girl group GG. To me f(x) was at their worst when they put out Pinnochio and Electrik Shock, those were so mainstream they should have been GG songs or a new SM groups songs, they didn't f(x) at all. I'm glad after those two they went back to their roots, effin loved Rum Pumx3 and now Red Light and Rainbow are MY HOT JAMS. 

It sad how no one notices luna u.u  she is an amazing singer and she is flawless in every song!!!!

f(x) fighting <3<3<3 

I was quite impressed with this album. I've never really been a fan of f(x) with the exception of few songs but I'm loving this album. Love Rainbow and I guess I'm one of the few people that liked Red Light. Also, Luna was giving life with that blue hair in the MV. 

SM might underrate f(x) so much but they give f(x) the best albums.  I LOVED every track, except for Summer Lover and Paper Hearts, which were too generic for my taste. 

Kpop should learn that album that has 10-12 tracks should have at least 3 singles from it, I hate how Kpop (except YG) only releases one single from an album, because there are usually amazing songs from albums and it's so unfair for only a single track to get all the attention.

Their concept was beyond amazing. Everything was so pretty, the angles, the filters OMG I can't. Probably one of my favourite concepts in all of kpop history.

I totally loved this album! My favorite! <3

<Red Light> an addictive album~ Yes, all 11 songs, are just like 'drugs' which slowly captures your mind, to listen to it non-stop, one after another…Not being biased, it's a highly recommended Kpop album that you will thumb up for these five girls, f(x)!!   <Red Light> is an album that is not entirely very kpop style~ I'm not into those 'noisy', very techno, heavy songs~ So, unique f(x) shows me how a kpop group album can be like~ 11 songs, with the hit song, Red Light MV receiving 5 Millions plus views since it first released... I simply love all the songs! Well, "Paper Heart" capture my heart completely in the end as my most favourite~ The best is to listen with earphones so that you can listen carefully, their awesome music with the fives' unique vocals~ From debut till now, I believe the girls put in a lot of efforts to train their vocals! They r a group which can harmonies perfectly, no doubt for their LIVE now~ I just hope to see more supports given to f(x) as it is not easy to come back once a year with a full-length album this time. From their individual teasers to group teaser to release of MV till album release and the comeback stage performance, if you see the past comeback and now, you will see how much efforts are put to let them comeback with a different f(x) since all the members are now more matured so that they can try a different concept for their album. Indeed, this change really give many people n fans huge surprise. Maybe there are some negative remarks, I still see many supportive views/opinions on them. They are a very unique kpop girlgroup as they really use their talents and not the sexy/sweet concept to win the hearts of many fans... No offense.... I just want to voice out for f(x) as I really admire and adore them for being genuine and shows the sincerity to everyone. f(Victoria, Amber, Luna, Sulli & Krystal), fighting!!! Hope to see you girls having the very first solo f(x) concert soon!! You all deserve the solo concert!
