JYP have finally done Twice some justice and released an album that from start to finish is their best to date. I've never made it any secret that while I was a fan of Twice and their albums but for me there was something always missing but this time from start to finish I was fan of this album. I honestly think that is their best album so far, each song is amazing  and gives you that feeling that it's a Twice song and that you couldn't imagine anyone but them performing the songs. Signal to begin with had to grow on me but by the time I had the album I was an fan, it's not my favourite Twice title track but it is a track I listen to quite a lot. I love the concept and pictures for this album, they're really colourful and pretty, to be honest pictures of Twice are normally pretty anyway but I have to say overall this is my favourite for both the track list, concept and content, check out the tracks below.

Eye Eye Eyes

하루에 세번 (Three Times A Day)

Hold Me Tight

Only 너 (Only You)

Someone Like Me

Signal

JYP has just announced that Twice will be making a comeback at the end of October after GOT7 have made their Korean comeback, so I hope that Twice's albums continue to improve and get better with each release as for Signal has finally set the bar and I'd be gutted if I wasn't in love with their next release, I would love to see Twice venture away from cutesy concepts and have a more difficult choreography which I think they'd be able to pull off, but only time will tell, if anything will change for the girls.

Which version of Signal do you have?
