I've actually been aware of VeriVery since their debut, while I've liked all their title tracks, it wasn't until I heard Lay Back that I really fell in love with their music. I also loved watching them on Road to Kingdom.
While the album layout is the usual K-pop layout, the photo book itself for me really stands out with a mixture of colour and black & white pictures, they also have a little mirror at the start of the photo book, which I have seen before in Gugudan's Act.2 Narcissus mini album. 
I think PHOTO is the perfect track to open this album with, I've not listened to many of their past releases but straight away I knew this would be a song I would love, it also gives off a more mature sound which I think fits this concept perfectly.

From the first listen of Lay Back, I was hooked, the chorus is so catchy and I constantly had "show me your face" stuck in my head. When I compare their past title tracks, this one is a major glow up, going from cute to mature. It definitely made me sit back and really pay attention to them. I love everything in this song, I love the beat, the melody, the vocals and the rapping. I honestly play this song ALOT.

I absolutely love Paradise and I love it even more knowing that Dongheon, Gyehyeon, Minchan and Yeonho wrote the lyrics as well as participating in composing it, it's such a beautiful song. This song gives me strong summer vibes, you wouldn't think it was originally released during the summer.
Paradise

No matter how many times I listen to Curtain Call I always forget it's VeriVery. This song never fails to get me dancing along, especially to the chorus. I love the transitions between the verses and the choruses. I feel it reminds me of another song but I can't quite put my finger on it, it also reminds me of something that would have been released in the 90's/early 00's.
Curtain Call

When I first heard the opening melody to MOMENT, I thought I was listening to EXO's Wait, I was listening to my daily mix on Spotify and the more it played the more I fell in love with these unfamiliar voices and pressed that heart button. This is definitely one of my favourite songs off the album, this is one of those songs that just stops you in your tracks and all you can do is stop and listen.
Moment

You may be wondering why there is no Thank you NEXT? Well that's because it's a instrumental teasers and the main song actually appears on their next mini album, also no matter how many times I search for it, I cannot find it anywhere online to share with you, so if you want to check it out, I highly recommend buying the album because overall it's amazing and I think it shows a growth in them.

I will continue to keep my eyes on VeriVery and I cannot wait to see where their journey takes them.
