The Queen M/V has also gained many views with the main M/V gaining 7,416,324 million views and the performance M/V gaining 676,443 thousand views, both M/V's combined Queen has gained 7,483,967 million views, with the views slowly increasing each day.

HIM was released in 2 versions a Heart version and a Spade version, both versions are set out in the usual hardback book style case with the album covers being the same design but with the Heart version being red and the Spade version being black/grey, the Cd designs are also the same for both version with the colours corresponding to the version. The track list for both versions differ slightly with the Heart version having track Liar and the Spade version having LOST in the track 5 slot, the rest of the track list is the same. The first half of the photobooks are the same with the 2nd half being different in the 2 versions, both versions also come with a random photocard that is designed like a playing card.

Track List:
Wild Boy
Queen
Baby, Hello
그럴 때면 (Whenever) (DoKyun Solo)
Liar
Queen (JPN Ver.)
Wild Boy (Inst.)
Queen (Inst.)











 

 





I have the Heart version but I would also like to get the Spade version, HIM is the only physical album of HISTORY'S that I have but I do have some on my iPod that I've downloaded. I've been finding it a little difficult to find physical copies of their albums. For a first and final release from the boys it's an amazing album to go out on, it's just a shame that these boys never got the recognition that they deserved. Each track is really different with a mixture of upbeat tracks and ballads showcasing each of their vocal abilities. I love the photobook, the pictures make the boys look really handsome and gives off an art feel. The photocard is amazing I love the design, I'm curious about the number on it but as soon as I saw it I was delighted and I got Maknae YiJeong.
Check out their amazing tracks below.

Queen (JPN Ver.)

그럴 때면 (Whenever) (DoKyun Solo)

Baby, Hello

Liar
History - 히스토리 México


Wild Boy

Queen

It's a shame that I never got to experience a comeback with HISTORY but I look forward to their solo activities in the future and hopefully once they've all completed their military service HISTORY make reform and perform together again as the boys seemed to find it difficult to come to the decision they did and maybe if they do return they will get the recognition they deserve as they work hard writing, composing and choreographing.

Are you a fan of HISTORY?
Who is your bias?
What's your favourite album from them?
What's your favourite title track?

See you soon!
