I’ve kept up with SHINee from the start of their debut and I think in a lot of ways, they’re the “experimental” group for SM. SM tries out a lot of new sounds with SHINee’s music, because while they’re popular, they’re still not as well-established enough that they will be expected to put out a chart topper every time they release something. So with that leeway, there’s more room for experimentation, and we can definitely see that from some of the music.

What I like about this mini-album and something I’m starting to notice about SHINee’s music is that in general, their music is pretty low-key. Even the uptempo songs have a pretty soft rhythm to them. And whoever makes their music likes to revive 80s’ tempos, beats, and general cheesiness.

“2009, Year of Us” has a nice mix of fast-paced songs and soft ballads. I like SHINee’s ballads because I don’t like songs that sound like the singers are ripping out their hearts with emotion. It drives me crazy and I have no patience for it, which is why SHINee’s music suits me. The softer sounding songs are mixed in with mid to uptempo beats and prevents it from being boring.
