The album covers for both versions are different, with the Bullet version having more of a dark concept, while the Trigger version has more of a brighter concept. The photo books for both versions are different as well as the Cd designs, both albums also have a little pocket/pouch that holds together the photo book, tattoo sticker and the clear cover.

DAY6 never disappoint, they are one of the few groups that I listen to that always put out an amazing album from start to finish. Each track on this album is different from the previous, blending together well. Every time I listen to one of their albums I feel like I've been listening to them for years and this album is no different, I love that they don't stick to one genre with their music. Shoot Me: Youth Part 1 starts with a heavy rock track, which blends well into Shoot Me, track 어쩌다 보니 (Somehow) has such a familiar feeling to me that I often forget that I'm listening to a Korean song, which flows nicely into a more pop sounding track with Feeling Good, I love that the album finishes with a slower song, that makes you sit and think about the album you've just listened, which it turn gets you to press that play button again and listen to it all over again. You can tell from each album that DAY6 work towards perfection with each album being full of quality music something that every My Day can be proud of. I want to end this by saying that I loved the message at the end of the Shoot Me M/V as it reminds everyone that no matter your age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation that 'vicious words hurt like a bullet'.

Warning

Shoot Me

어쩌다 보니 (Somehow)

Feeling Good

혼잣말 (Talking To)

원하니까 (Still)

DAY6 are on a world tour at the moment and they head to London next month, which I'm gutted that I won't be there, since becoming a My Day, I've had my fingers crossed that they would eventually come to the UK, so I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to witness them live.
