Graded Song:Infinite "Destiny"

Infinite follows suit and makes another comeback a few months after their "New Challenge" mini dropped. Though "Man In Love" was quite successful, it wasn't their best song in the catalog and definitly paled in comparison to their previous "The Chaser". "Destiny" is the named of the single and Sweetune had no hand in the production this time around.
I'm quite torn about this. The song is different from the 80s soundtrack style production that Sweetune usually dishes out to them. The weird fauxstep flourishes seem out of place with the boys vocals. There aren't many vocal variations either (I like hearing Woohyun and Sunggyu's voices reaching for dem high notes) while Dongwoo and Hoya (yet again) try to recapture the rap duality that made "The Chaser" such a tune...and they fail again. However, I do like the epicness that the track conveys and the fact that while it is different, it's still what I would expect from an Infinite release. Too bad it's pretty average and sounds like every other cookie cutter K-Pop dance song.
Final Grade:C+
The music video was filmed here in the US (Las Vegas and Los Angeles) and really doesn't follow any specific storyline . According to some sources, there is supposed to be a 25 minute drama video coming out soon. Like always, their choreography is amazing and in sync, but not really feeling the styling.
