    From the reveal to the final concepts photos this album honestly never cought my interest, it just felt soulless, but not in an intentional or eerie way but rather in a dull and boring way.
    I‘m happy the music video was nice at least, if only they had more passion, time and maybe budget I feel like this could‘ve been a pretty memorable rollout, but this video honestly reminded me that wish you hell even exists lol.

    I remember when this was coming out i was confused but it made more sense once the MV was released. I REALLY wished they would’ve fully leaned into the 80s campy horror aesthetic of the MV to the whole concept/rollout as a whole! Like seeing Wendy looking at herself in the coffin was cool af and imo they could’ve translated that into the concept photos and album packaging as well! Like a coffin-shaped album would’ve been dope (i feel like this was mentioned before by someone but im not sure 😭). And the only positive i have for the concept photos/design is the scrapbooking! I think if they fully went into that route, as well as make it super personalized and super 80s, and have some pages in the album be different textures, have wendy write the lyrics herself and things that make her nostalgic, and stuff that pertains to the album concept would’ve been cool! I just remember feeling like everything else was all over the place and it upsets me because the concept in theory (especially the MV), would’ve been really great and beautiful! I just wish companies would stop being so polished with the photography and the production as a whole because it makes everything less fun like you said (and screams “money” too) Like seeing how polished her photos are given the concept is about her feeling heartbroken and leaving a toxic/messy relationship, gives me a headache (or maybe I’m just hungry lol) but it gives that same energy!
    And as always you do a great job explaining everything properly and I also loved the silica gel packet on the images too! It’s my favorite object you used! 🩵🤍🩶

    18:45 No but it's crazy the fact that I can make a prettier and more interesting digital scrapbook in canva with pngs out of pinterest than a multi millionaire, well known company with enough resources. SM once again fails horribly at trying to create this style because when I think of a scrapbook I think about scribbles, lots of texture and unique patterns but SM sometimes will just place perfectly square pictures on top of each other resulting in a boring and lazy result that looks like something I would've done when I first started designing in canva.

    Loved your analysis!!
    it makes me so upset how they screwed all of this idea but I kinda get why, wish you hell as a mini album is hard to conceptualize in my opinion but it doesnt justify the mess.. in terms of music is cohesive and follows a calm but fierce vibe to it which they failed to embody in my opinion. wendy had a clear vision since the mv direction was clear and less vague but the whole mini album had potential to do something rare and unique.
    i FEEL something similar happened with irene's recent debut which honestly just like wish you hell might have tried many different things and concepts at once that when i watched the music video i wasnt satisfied

    • @shprism
      @shprism  Місяць тому +4

      irene had a slight advantage compared to wendy given that woocheol jo apparently helped out with her debut (most likely to make sure there is consistent branding amongst the girls debuts), but i do have to agree. given his involvement i was hoping we could get more dynamic shots but other than 2 really eye catching sets (for me) I was rather underwhelmed as well. not bad of course, i think given the state of center 3 all red velvet projects will be handicapped by their lack of agency and daring…but certainly not what it could’ve been under their original team. i think like a flower manages to salvage itself before its conclusion, which wish you hell just couldn’t. also thank you for listening 🐬🌺🩷✨

    I wished with the mv or somewhere in the rollout they incorporated another color. Something like pink or red to signal at the start Wendy is head over heels in love for a man and signifying that not only is this *feeling* is foreign for Wendy but even to the viewer who knows blue is her signature color, the *color* she’s wearing is foreign to us as well. Then it could gradually progress to her signature blue signaling that Wendy is back loving herself and ending a relationship that proved not beneficial for her in the first place

    I like this channel and love your style. Just constructive criticism: i think this video would be soo much easier to get through if the voice of the voiceover wasn‘t so piercing and like an annoying doll if i may say. It get‘s really difficult to concentrate after a while and annoying to listen to. I like your takes i hope you get my intention.. i think your content is qualitative. It‘s just this voice here😭. You can do whatever you like though.. i‘m just saying and i‘m sure i‘m not the only one that thinks it. It‘s a little like those barbie phone noises but it‘s not just some seconds but for 30 min content that you genuinely want to listen and get into. It‘s very penetrating on the ears. Thank you💜

    really looking forward to your take on dall 🥺 i was so so so disappointed when i heard the members touch on the actual point of the concepts (nighttime vampire gothic witches??? daytime blue ballerinas statues representing sadness??? artms' garden of eden???). it seems like modhaus failed to commit to any of their own ideas properly, like usual 🥲
