SM Continues To Ride The Basic Train With EXO's "Overdose"

EXO went from 0-60 last year when SM finally let them out of the basement and subsequently shoved them down everyone's throat for the second half of 2013. The genre-mashing "Wolf" (which still remains superior to all their other title tracks no matter what the charts, their plethora of live performances or their EXOtics say), the much overhyped and overplayed "Growl" and "Miracles In December" cemented EXO as the next big Hallyu stars, so of course SM wasn't gonna lock them away for another year and let them gather dust!
"Overdose" was produced by The Underdogs, who also produced Girls Generation's basic title track, "Mr. Mr.". And like "Wolf", the song and practice video somehow leaked before its official drop date. SM please, we know you did it...Personally, "Overdose" does nothing for me. It's a simple, Western-inspired R&B/Pop song that's not even worthy of the guilty pleasure tag. EXOtics and the Korean public will eat it up and unless another larger, more popular act happens to drop their comeback at the same time, "Overdose" is slated to be their first #1 song on GAON.
