United Version
Mark's Version
As you can see, I have the United Version and Mark's version, soon as I saw that there would be individual versions, I knew I definitely had to get my hand's on Mark's as not only is he my bias in NCT 127, he's my overall main bias for NCT. I would like to eventually have all the version, but I needed to make sure I had Mark's first.
The layout for the album is pretty simple, the album itself is a pretty normal size, I love that the individual versions have a dust jacket for each member and I love the the slipcase is interactive for the United Version, I love that the logo seems to move and appear.
The album overall is such a good album, there isn't a bad track on it, my only disappointment is that they have unit songs, where only a few members perform and poor Lucas appears on one of those songs and still only has the tiniest of lines.
When I first heard Jopping the intro gave me Avenger theme feels, overall the track gives off vibes of SHINee, EXO and NCT 127, combining all elements that make these groups amazing as well making SuperM unite. I think this track is an amazing track to debut with, a majority of it is in English so you're able to sing along as well as get hyped up. Every time I listen to it or watch the M/V, I'm enthralled. It's catchy too so it sticks in your head even after you've listened to it. I love Mark's 2nd rap as well as Baekhyun's high notes, I love his vocals but that note took me off guard and blew me away, I still get chills when this song starts.
Jopping
If I had to pick a favourite track it would have to be I Can't Stand The Rain, I remember Skye telling me I would love 2 Fast but as soon as I heard this song I was in love with everything in this track. I mainly love the build up to the chorus as well as the chorus, personally for me this song makes Baekhyun, Taemin and Taeyong really shine and stand out, maybe because their parts are my favourite. I also love how it all ends abruptly, for me, making it sound like a powerful.
I Can't Stand The Rain
I love the chorus for 2 Fast, and Lucas' lines in this song are really too fast and too short, but I will say I do love how he says 2 Fast. I love the beat in this track, it's a good track to listen to before heading out for a night out. I love this song but I hate that it's such a short track. They really could have gave Lucas more time to shine but they seem to have made the track a more vocal line song.
2 Fast
We got to hear a snippet of Fast Car in Mark's teaser when they were teasing how amazing and powerful is rap is. I couldn't imagine any one other than SuperM performing this song, because I don't think it sounds like anything either EXO, SHINee or NCT would do. I do think though that this song was made for Mark, he just stands out so much in this song for me, showing just why he is the debut king.
Super Car
I have to applaud Taeyong because I think No Manners, is amazing, out of the whole song I absolutely love Taeyong's rap and I think Ten's voice really suits this song, As much as I love Taemin's voice, I think I would have preferred this song with just Kai, Taeyong and Ten as I think Kai and Ten's voices blend extremely well together.
No Manners
I love that the reason they are dubbed the Avengers of K-pop is because like the Avengers, they have their own respective and popular groups, like the Avengers having their own stand-alone movies, but come together as one to create a super group that helps spread the word and music of K-pop. I can't wait to see what the future holds for them and I hope I can see them live one day as they're all from groups I love and admire.
