Unfortunately I have to break the alternating string of normal reviews and Blitz reviews. I've also added the review tag to all Blitz and album reviews because of common sense. Moving on! B.A.P isn't exactly underrated but given their combination of rapping, choreography, and versatility I feel they don't get enough love. Or at least the love they deserve. "Honeymoon" is a fantastic example of at least two of those attributes. As per B.A.P standard, the rapping is elite. Zelo provides contrast to the smoother catchier moments of the chorus. I also really like they used the opening whistles to setup the chorus even though it doesn't make another appearance. At least, none that I can hear - future repetitions are replaced with singing. It's the little things like this that are hard to notice consistently browsing through other songs. Even though I've never been extremely impressed by the B.A.P vocalists, they do a great job with the chorus despite the spots of Engrish. Having such good rappers will easily overshadow the singers anyway. Meanwhile, Yongguk delivers the finishing punch with his rap verse that drives right into the final chorus (and extensions). And as abrupt as the ending might have been, I thought it did the job necessary to conclude the song. Ignore the usual MV, especially Jongup's mullet. Given that B.A.P is TS' flagship group, they have been treated well this year with solid releases in "Wake Me Up" and now "Honeymoon."
