FML

SEVENTEEN

A dual-sided exploration of burnout and brilliance, moving from weary boom-bap introspection to thunderous, Sun Wukong-inspired stadium pop.

FML is an album of two distinct halves that perfectly capture the duality of the modern experience. It begins with a rare moment of vulnerability for a group of this scale, using the title track to explore the exhaustion and existential dread that comes with relentless pursuit. The sound here is surprisingly grounded, utilizing boom-bap percussion and a tired, melodic flow that feels like a collective sigh. It is the sound of being human in a world that demands you be a machine. This vulnerability makes the subsequent explosion into 'Super' feel earned rather than performative.

Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden transition from the weary boom-bap rhythm of the title track into the thunderous, traditional-leaning bass drop of Super
the way the vocal unit's harmonies swell into a nostalgic 80s synth-pop chorus during the bridge of Dust
the gritty, distorted guitar solo that cuts through the sensual R&B atmosphere of I Don't Understand But I Luv U
the rhythmic chanting in the final chorus of Super that mimics the energy of a massive stadium crowd
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
