The first thing I thought of when I finished listening to this mini album was:"Why was "Jopping" chosen as the lead single when literally every other song in here is better?"
I suppose the reason many would give would be that the song works better when it comes to performances, and that statement has some truth to it, still however, I feel like "Jopping" doesn't do the the album justice.
Jopping:
Starting with the lead single, and by the intro of this post, I think everyone has figured out that I wasn't a huge fan of it. To know why I haven't liked it, check the full review here.
I Can't Stand The Rain:
I loved the beat of this song so much,Taemin and Baekhyun sounded amazing in all the verses they delivered, I think everyone agrees this song belongs to them, that being said I liked the short verses we got from Kai, Ten, and Taeyong. Mark was good, and similar to "Jopping", Lucas barley had anything to do here, and that was the only frustrating thing about this track.

2 Fast:
In this track, we're missing 3 members, but the rest deliver great performances. It's an R&B based song, and I have always had a soft spot for those. Once again, Taemin and Baekhyun sound really good, I love them together; I liked Mark as a vocalist quite a bit, and we finally had Lucas say more than just a couple of words, and he was really good.
I loved the change of beat and rhythm around 1:53, I wasn't expecting it, and it was such a pleasant surprise.

Super Car:
From the title, I expected this to be my least favorite, but the moment I heard the beat in the opening, I fell in love. I love the HipHop/R&B sound it has, Mark's opening was so good, and I really liked the chorus. I think Taeyong got the chance to be who he is here, Ten was good, Baekhyun and Taemin don't need any praise because they're as good as you'd expect, and Mark definitely stole the scene here.

No Manners:
We got another R&B inspired track, and this time Ten and Kai got the chance to showcase their talents; I really liked their verses a lot. Taeyong was great, and the chorus is so awesome.Taemin is the heart of the song, as he is the heart of the album and the group as a whole; he's really good, his voice is just so pleasant to listen to. He has an amazing quality that just makes you love and want more from him.
