WOW! it's been about 11 months since I made a GOT7 post but it's overall been over a year since I posted about a Korean album, I'm also 2 albums short in my Korean discography with still needing to buy their 3rd full length album Present: You as well as it's reissue Present: You & Me, I'm always excited for GOT7 to make a comeback but there was something about this album that made me even more excited and as soon as I heard the title track I knew even I needed a physical copy, it just helped that I was able to get my hands on it in my local HMV store. I love the layout of the album with the random dust jacket member and the random page, I love that there is no set concept when it comes to the photo book, and they stand out as a group instead as individuals. I love that with each album we see the members participate even more, I'm always excited when I see Jinyoung and JB credited as I've always been in love with the songs they create.
This time around I was blown away by Yugyeom with 1°, I love the melody and I really love the lyrics, I was also blown away by Youngjae and JB, my favourite parts of the song have to be when they sing the chorus, I think it really helped to show of their voices, this song is definitely one of my favourites on the album.

I have to say that Eclipse is my favourite title track from GOT7, I love everything about the song, I love all the vocal lines, all the rap lines, the melody, the verses, the chorus, the M/V and the choreography. The only I was gutted about was the dance break section of the M/V isn't actually in the studio version, I think it would have made the song that extra special if it was included in the studio version.
Since they've all started participating more with their albums, I'm always left blown away by how they're all growing musically. I'm so excited for their return in November, I'm not sure if it's a repackaged or reissued album but I can tell that this album is being made with fans in mind, when I watched the first prologue film for their new comeback as soon as I saw the green light, I knew it was there to represent the Ahgase's, and I'm sure like most fans when they watched the final prologue film, Mark brought a few tears to my eyes. I think a lot of people often forget that fans are want keeps a group going and growing, we're their pillar of strength to continue when things get hard, just like they are our strength to continue too.

끝 (The End)
The feeling I get from the melody of Time Out is that of a lullaby, and I think this is one of those songs that when everything is getting on top of you, you can step back and listen to to de-stress yourself. I think at times people forget to have 5 minutes just to have a breather and reassess the situation. The song for me reminds me that it's okay to not be okay, and that if you keep at with a foggy head it can only get worse so take a time out, reassess and head back with a clear head and it will all seem brighter.
Time Out
One of the things I love about 믿어줄래 (Believe), is the difference between the verses to the chorus, the verses start off by being lower and slower, while the chorus picks up the track, making the next verses a little brighter and more upbeat, even if they're asking for the listener to believe them, it's like they're gaining confidence each time they ask us to trust them. One of the things I dislike about this song is the amount of auto tune used on the rappers voices, we all know they can hold their own so I wonder why BamBam thought it would be a good effect.
믿어줄래 (Believe)
Finally we have Page, we all know that what happens within our lifetimes is just part of our story, whatever you do decides the outcome of your story or journey through the days you're living. I think meeting new people, finding love etc are just new chapters in your book, we're often told to take things one day at at time, which in essence is saying take it one page at a time. My favourite part of this song is actually Jackson's, I love his section in the chorus, his voice has such power that you can't help believing the words he's saying.
