I remember this musical being advertised and I wish I'd have been able to head off to South Korea to see it live, but I also hoped it took off so that it could head over to the UK, but I'm just glad they released an OST for it.
I love that the OST is mainly other SM artists songs as it was nice to hear them sung at times by the opposite sex.

I absolutely love One Day One Chance - Original Ver. This is one of my favourite songs from this OST, I've been in love with it since it's release. I love the melody and Changmin's vocals are stunning. Also the whole cast harmonising towards the end is perfect. I still think even 9 years later this song still sounds fresh and new.
One Day One Chance - Original Ver.

One Fine Day is a song that showcases each of the cast. It's a song that catches you off guard as it starts out as a ballad and speeds up at the chorus which I love.
One Fine Day

As an EXO-L, I was already familiar with MAMA. But adding these cast members to this track took it to another level.
MAMA

As a SONE, I absolutely loved 소원을 말해봐 (Genie). They all fit this song perfectly, it's definitely another of my favourite tracks that I listen to a lot from this OST. I never felt that the male voices shouldn't be there and I loved that they kept the original lyrics even for the guys.
소원을 말해봐 (Genie)

I feel I'll keep repeating myself with a lot of these songs but as  SHAWOL, I was already familiar with Intro - Destination. I love the build-up to the track and it still sounds so good sung by the cast.
Intro - Destination

While I'm not as a familiar with BoA's song's I knew 아틀란티스 소녀 (Atlantis Princess) was one of hers. I feel that this track was perfect for Seulgi. It really allowed her to shine, especially as a rookie idol. At the time Red Velvet had only released digital singles, so I think it was perfect to bring Seulgi into this musical.

I wasn't as familiar with f(x)'s b-sides, but I knew Pretty Girl. I love the change up to the track and I love how Luna and Seulgi compliment each other on this track.
Pretty Girl

Evil is another SHINee track and it's one of my favourites. I love this version too, it fits Seulgi perfectly.
Evil

I love the Mr. Simple/I Got A Boy mashup, that also had the appearance of both Leeteuk from Super Junior and Yoona from Girls' Generation. The mashup works so well together.

Originally sung by Girls' Generation sub-unit TTS, I love hearing Twinkle being sung by the opposite sex. It shows that it works well sung in a lower key. This song suits both Key and Changmin perfectly.
Twinkle

We get another snippet of Seulgi with Evil (Reprise).
Evil (Reprise)

I love this version of 셜록 (Sherlock (Clue + Note)). Having the whole cast sing it, like with MAMA, takes it to another level.
셜록 (Sherlock (Clue + Note))

I love listening to One Day One Chance - Original Soundtrack Ver. As is includes the original audio from the musical too. I actually can't listen to the Original version without hearing this version along with it.
One Day One Chance - Original Soundtrack Ver.

Another of my favourites on the OST is One Dream. I love the melody and I love the vocals.
One Dream

I think One Day One Chance (Reprise) really establishes how good the melody for this track is. I love that they each seem to get a line to sing before harmonising again. You can tell this was the closer for the main musical.
One Day One Chance (Reprise)

I think all SM/SM Town fans know 빛 (Hope) as it's a song that's used a lot to end SM Town concerts, where all the artists come on to perform together. I love this song, I personally think it's a song that lives up to it's name.
빛 (Hope)

Concluding the album we have 으르렁 (Growl)/주문 (Mirotic), which at the time of the OST's release were probably 2 of the most iconic songs from SM. I have to say I love how they all harmonise singing these songs. They all fit the songs together perfectly.
으르렁 (Growl)/주문 (Mirotic)

I love how it's not a typical soundtrack of just the songs, and includes dialogue from the actual musical. And I have say that credit needs to be given to Jo Eun as even though she wasn't promoted alongside the rest of the cast, she does sing on the OST and she sounds amazing.
It's odd to think that this musical is nearly 10 years old, I think if something was done like this now it would blow up and hit new heights.

A few weeks ago, I shared with you SHINee's Don't Call Me album and now it's time to share with you the repackaged album Atlantis and not only share with you the 3 new tracks on this album, but also the tracks I didn't share with you and talk about in the last post.
First things first, I have the Ocean version, while I love the layout of this album as it's easy to look through the photo book, I don't think it's the most stable as I'm scared of the pages falling out, I love the photo books concept and the pictures themselves are really pretty, especially with the colours used.
Like I said in my previous post, the album itself is amazing, and the new tracks add to that.

While I prefer Don't Call Me of the 2 titles tracks, I couldn't help but fall in love with Atlantis because it just screams SHINee. I love the melody and I especially love the chorus. It may sound odd but I think it gives off a refreshing vibe and feeling.
Atlantis

I love the melody for Area, it has such a pretty vibe to it, I also love how they sing the track, their vocals are stunning and just pull you in and make you listen.
Area

The main thing I love about Days and Years, how simple the melody is in the verses, allowing the members to really vocalise a stunning melody, and I love that the melody changes up for the chorus. I love how this track fits with the Atlantis concept.
Days and Years

For me Attention gives me old school SHINee vibes, while also giving off a new sound too, it think it really shows SHINee's growth from over the years.
Attention

We're now onto my favourite track from both releases of the album, I cannot get enough of Body Rhythm, I've had it on repeat so much since the albums release. I think I can even admit that it's my favourite b-side track from this year. I can only hope that they perform this live one day, and I think I'll be watching the choreography through my fingers. If you're an Ariana Grande, and especially enjoy her track Side To Side, then I really recommend this track as it has the same vibes.
Body Rhythm

The main thing I need to say about 빈칸 (Kind) is how stunningly beautiful it is with both the melody and the vocals. I could listen to this track all day, the effects on their voices also add something to the track too. Even without seeing the translation for the lyrics I can feel their emotion, so much so when I first listened to this track it stopped me in my tracks.
빈칸 (Kind)

I look forward to Taemin's return for us to see SHINee as a whole again and get more albums from them, but I also look forward to what Key, Onew and Minho will do in the meantime, I especially cannot wait for more solo releases from Onew.
