Some background information before I start reviewing. Hurricane is the title song from their upcoming album. The first title song is Coffee Shop. They have also provided a MV for this song. Coffee shop and Hurricane are totally different in music, mood, style, tone, and MV wise! So go check it out!
Overall, the feeling was admirable and the mood depicted them as superior idols, hallyu idols. It sounds like a song that would be played at a club. This is yet another song in the Kpop industry where love is not indicated or sung about! Yayyy. This song's lyrics are about their fame, or how they are rising to success as rookies. They had solo concerts overseas; that's a large feat even for some artist who has already debut for a long time already.
This song reminds me of "Zero" in their One Shot album. That song talked about how idols struggle and rise to the top from nothing at all. That's B.A.P.. They didn't gain fame because of their seniors, unlike other big company's rookie groups do.
Like hurricanes, B.A.P. is about to take on the world, accepting any challenges driven at them. They won't stop until they reach the top, or until they literally "set the roof on fire" (or as Himchan sings, set the looof on fiyah).
Honestly, the first time I played this song, I wasn't really into all the big lights from Las Vegas and the sound of this song. However, the second time, I got hooked.... (To Daehyun's voice) This just shows that B.AP. will take on any genre, but re-create it so their fans and new ones will find it interesting.
Some scenes in the MV that I would like to point out and make a reference to...

Himchan driving in the car represents the limitless places one can visit, and take over, in this place.
The big lights in Las Vegas show their fame. Think of it this way: an empty concert with no fans, everything is dark and dull. If the stadium is full of fans and light sticks, there will be lights directed at the stars (B.A.P.). The lights can be the concert lighting, the fans' eyes glowing in the audience, their camera light, etc.
This MV was simple, but has a big impact, like coffee shop. Although it mostly displayed them lip-syncing to the song and them going cray cray in a limo with a pole in the middle (????!), the song was very amiable.
Oh and another irrelevant, but relevant thing... Zelo better not have kept his noodle hair. Omg when it showed scenes with him with that hair style I freaked.
