The first minutes feel like a false start into fall—pumpkins, leaves, and office horror stories—then the ground tilts and we’re off into ORβIT’s ROAR era, where a five-member lineup turns change into momentum. We walk through the reinvention with energy and honesty: who left, who stayed, who’s writing, and why that matters to the sound. From the snarling opener to the last tender piano phrase, this album is a journey that swaps fluster for purpose and nostalgia for a new horizon.
We go track by track to map the emotional terrain. 'TOO LOUD' hits like a sleek dark-pop bullet, all warning sirens and bass drops. 'DADADA' and 'RIDE ON' inject brass, disco guitar, and 70s groove for pure movement. 'HUFF!' crackles with duo-rock chaos that smells like a Friday night gone feral, while 'chocolate' slides into velvet R&B—intimate, urgent, and frankly irresistible. 'Our gravity' and '和音 (chord)' shift the tone with soft-disco warmth and a classic-leaning ballad laced with silver-and-gold romance, showcasing layered harmonies and sincere writing. 'Panorama' sprints forward with a bright pop‑rock rush, and 'ENCORE' sends us home with that aching, hopeful swell that says the story isn’t over.
What makes ROAR special isn’t just genre range—it’s authorship. Members pen lyrics, stamp moods, and let their personalities steer units and choruses. You can hear a group recalibrating in real time: tighter blend, sharper edges, bigger heart. If you’re EαRTH, you’ll catch the winks; if you’re new, you’ll still feel the lift. Expect keywords like ORβIT ROAR review, J‑pop album breakdown, track-by-track analysis, funk pop, rock duo, R&B ballad, and member-written songs to bring fellow listeners into the conversation. Hit play, pick your top three, and tell us where the album surprised you most.
