ANTI HERO
After a little bit of a decelerate, My Identification roars again to life with its second unit observe. Anti Hero comes courtesy of ONF’s “Off Staff,” comprised of Seungjun, Wyatt and U. That is the extra efficiency oriented crew, liable for one in all my favourite b-sides (Secret Triangle) from 2021. Anti Hero picks up the place that tune left off, bolstering its sound with a heavy dose of guitar.
I like when producer Hwang Hyun performs with electrical guitar. He tends to wring as a lot drama from the association as potential. Anti Hero definitely matches inside that mould, bounding ahead just like the soundtrack of an motion film or online game battle. The tune itself is fairly easy and never not like different, extra generic boy group materials, however I respect its focus and power. The bridge is very enjoyable, because the percussion ramps up and we get a number of dramatic chants positioned precisely the place they need to be — as dynamic assist fairly than the driving pressure behind a refrain. The observe squanders its likelihood to go even larger and bolder in the course of the finale, however that is nonetheless an excellent stable b-side.
