The long waited new album of EXO is finally here! Their 4th full length album 'The War' released on Jul. 19,
EXO continue to make drastic decisions in pushing their style.
The most obvious indicator that The War establishes a solid rebranding of the group might be the fact that the album title does not follow the stylish pun trend of its predecessors.
However, after listening through the album, fans will realize that the changes in EXO’s visuals aren’t the only thing new: as opposed to a complete overhaul of the group’s sound, their newest direction seems like a natural artistic progression, while still succeeding in keeping things interesting for their fans.
Opening track “The Eve” encompasses the production style that took the mainstream U.S. music world by storm late last year; the group’s compelling delivery is surrounded by vocal chops and other future bass fodder, establishing an explosive new dynamic on The War unheard in previous albums.
It’s not just the opening number that fully embraces the more energetic, electronic-fueled pop sound of 2017. Other tracks like “Ko Ko Bop” and closing track “Going Crazy” contain the sort of kaleidoscopic intensity of energy found in “The Eve,” with frenetic trap-infused beats and synths setting the scene for even more vibrant vocal work.
EXO started out making darker-themed dance tracks, and though their sound has slowly evolved with each album, it’s the addition of tracks like “Forever” and “Diamond” that will remind listeners of that original enigmatic sound they began with — though with some minor upgrades.
