Flight Log: Turbulence is the second Korean studio album by the South Korean male group Got7. It was released on September 27, 2016 by JYP Entertainment.

Background and composition

On September 8, 2016, JYP Entertainment announced that Got7 was going to release their second Korean studio album by early October.[1] Flight Log: Turbulence was ultimately released on September 27 and introduced a more aggressive, electronic sound than the group's previous hip hop style.[2] The members have written the lyrics, and sometimes composed, eleven of the thirteen tracks,[3][4] with Mark credited on five of them.

"Hard Carry" is an electronic song featuring "whirring synths, finger snaps, layered vocal samples and howls," which Billboard called a "sonic whirlwind."[2][5] The album's middle section continues with songs written by the members: "Boom x3" has an old-school hip hop style, with 8-bit blips, while "Prove It" is R&B-oriented.[2] The title of "No Jam" is a wordplay between English and Korean, translating to "no fun."[2] "Who's That" reintroduces a more playful, tropical beat; the album closes with four softer, sweeter tracks,[2] including "If," which deals with the push and pull of courtship.[6]

Critical reception

Tamar Herman of Billboard noted that overall, the strength of Flight Log: Turbulence lied in "the personalized quality of the songs," as all members participated in the creation of the album, showing their potential as composers.[2] Idology felt that "Hard Carry" was a song "so well-crafted that it's hard to find fault with it," but that it was also disconnected from previous releases, commenting that the album demonstrated the group's attempt to consistently seek new paths.[7]
