Escape The Era shows again that Dreamcatcher are a versatile group, they never fail to amaze me and have me in awe. Their vocals seem to work with any genre of music and each member gets their time to shine with their vocals. I'm in love with this album from start to finish, each track fits the album concept well and blends well to make the perfect and memorable mini album. I love the album's layout and concept, I love the styling and I especially love Yoohyeon's hair. I love that in the Outside version of the album the pictures of the members are taken by one another, showing that they shine behind the camera as well as in front of it. You and I was my first official comeback with Dreamcatcher and as an InSomnia, I'm gutted they didn't get their first music show win but I'm glad they've finally started getting more recognition for how talented and unique they are.
