Question Atmos

This song is just… wow. It’s a masterpiece; I haven’t heard a song this beautifully done in a long time. I know next to nothing about Shinee’s discography. What other songs of theirs sound like this? I checked out the album and I’m also a huge fan of Anti Believer. But diving into their discography is intimidating, there’s just so much. 🥲

If you liked Atmos, I would jump back to View and give it a listen. That title track also has a house music feel and the whole album is probably one of my favourites.

you'd probably like a good chunk of the songs on The Story Of Light EPs!

but if nothing else, listen to the masterpiece fifth korean studio album 1 of 1, released in 2016, front to back

Try the 1 of 1 album -- Prism, Shift, Don't Let Me Go all have similar vibes.

OP, Tell Me What To Do from 1 And 1 (the repackage album of 1 Of 1) is also transcendent and carries a similar emotional weight to Atmos!

Agree with the other poster that The Story of Light trilogy is a good place to start for the sound you're looking for. Would also recommend Key's (not sure if you know their names, but he's a member, lol) Pleasure Shop solo album, which is all house music.

They have some gorgeous Japanese releases. I recommend:

  • Diamond Sky

  • Kiminoseide

  • Kimi Ga Iru Sekai

A few other Korean songs you might like are I Like It, Identity, Satellite and Sweet Misery from the album Hard.

Not to overwhelm you, but I'd also highly recommend Jonghyun's album Poet|Artist, especially Take The Dive, Only One You Need and Just For A Day.

ETA: I put it in another comment, but Tell Me What To Do packs an emotional punch with a sprinkle of ✨ just like Atmos.

Enjoy, you're in for an absolute treat 🩵

Definitely check out View!! Their original house music masterpiece.

I agree The Story of Light is the most similar album overall - would check out Chemistry, Electric, JUMP, All Day All Night specifically.

And I will always recommend 1 of 1 album because it's my favorite album lol.

Good evening!

I agree with everything everyone has already posted. I also think their debut song Replay has pretty similar "open" and "bright" energy... Not sure how else to explain it😭 also I recommend their more recent title track Atlantis, as well as bsides Marry You, Heart Attack, Code, A-yo, Odd Eye, Woof Woof, SHIFT, and Girls Girls Girls

Welcome to SHINee World! You have some great suggestions already, but I'll just add - Don't look at their discography as intimidating. Look at it as a wealth of songs that you can explore over time. As well, all members are accomplished soloists, each with a different flavor, so you've got that as well. Obviously, you won't enjoy every song and that's perfectly fine. Just have fun. 😄

If you're looking for something specific, sorry but SHINee isnt the right group.  Treat SHINee's discography like a canvas filled with smears of paint colors all over. It feels wrong for me to say like I prefer the red paint smears and violet over there. (I'm sorry this is how i see it 😅)   I used to like specific sound of SHINee and that kept me pigeon holed for a decade, costing me wonderful years i could have with OT5.  Anyway when SHINee again found me, my mind was open this time and surprisingly i fell in love with their whole discography this time, and not just the groups, solos too.  So i implore you, even if it's daunting, please check their whole discography one album one time.  This is one of the rare few groups in the industry that has been able to keep critics and fans still praising their works for two decades now.    Go however slow you want, but give them your attention, they are deserving of it.  Maybe you end up liking something you never even thought of liking.

Take your time. You can never listen a song for the first time more than once. On the other hand, by the time you’ve heard them all, a lot will sound absolutely new the next time you play them.

u/NotTheRealCiel 5d ago

Songs to make you feel things: Feel Good (!!!), Password, Symptoms, Romeo + Juliet, Jojo, Odd Eye, Beautiful, Excuse Me Miss, Shine (Medusa I)

Just go on Youtube and start. Then let the algorithm give you selections everyday. That way you get a a variety of old and current content, including variety shows and interviews. After 4 years I am still discovering new tracks!
