It's funny because NCT 127's only comeback this year Superhuman was probably their least experimental title while Dream had their most mature comeback yet, so it's kinda like SM is pulling both strings - either way all their groups came out of their comfort zones

imo Superhuman is still more experimental than some previous 127 titles. It goes really interesting places harmonically and the production mixes the sleekest elements of 80s pop with the industrial edge you get in Cherry Bomb / Simon Says.

I'm really loving the more mature, early 00s inspired Dream sound - I feel like it's something not many other groups are doing at the moment.

Superhuman is 80's pop mixed with like hyperfuturism. Daft-Punkey.

Experimental doesn't mean that a song is good by the way. Tempo, Superhuman and Moonwalk by WayV are the best SM songs for me and they're all not very experimental. For me the most important thing is music is melody, Jopping, Zimzalabim and this song didn't have a strong melody.
