In just 43 seconds, 7 lines, this intro is good enough to capture attention of it's listeners. I particularly don't enjoy the rhythm but it's good introduction to the group styles.
2. Mr. 애매모호 (Mr. Ambiguos)
Their title track, retro seems to be their concept but I don't get Wonder Girls vibe whom are synonymous to retro concept. I start to see the color of Mamamoo voice, it has a lot of characters in it and I thought it reminded me of musical without the over the top flare. The rap part was good but I can't help to laugh because it feels like it was so random. Mamamoo does a lot of harmonization, I think it would be interesting to hear them doing acapella.
3. 히히하해호 with Geeks ( Hihihahaeho)
The intro was so catchy. I know this will be another favorite. Like the playfulness of the title, it makes me feel happy. Geeks part is long.. I guess that's why it's title as "with" not "featuring". My favorite part is the whisper part. I don't understand much of the lyrics but I never really bothered about lyrics.. I mean, I listen to Korean pop without being fluent you think lyrics are a big deal for me? Anyway, I hope it has a clever meaning, though if it's all fluff, it's fine.
4. Baton Touch
Maybe it's in the title but this song felt like a cheerleading song. The rhythm is fast and cheerful and it does make people move along to beat. Mamamoo lyricist seems to like to add their name in songs. I'll forgive because this is their first mini album as I think the intention is to get people to remember the group name. When the song slowed down, I wasn't liking the song anymore.. I think it's best to keep the upbeat because it made song seem lazy, it's like make one paragraph and then the rest is just filler for ending. The aong is under 3minute but it felt longer.
5. 내맘이야 [HwaSa solo] (my heart)
I have yet to familiarize with the members voices so I do enjoy solo singles to give attention to members. The song has a different vibe than the other songs in the song. It's a hiphop track through and through. It does feel like this song is odd to be in the album but I think we can expect something diverse from them in the future.
6. 행복하지마 with Bumkey (Don't be Happy)
This is my favorite song of the album, and the reason is pretty obvious. I am in love with Bumkey's voice. The video only contain a snippet of this song so this full version is very welcoming to me. Bumkey started of well but I thought the transtition to Mamamoo's part seems odd. It made sense in the video but in the song it just end and started like two songs. I feel that there should be two version.
