I really like the layout for this album, while it's quite simple, it's still really pretty, I have the VR version, and I absolutely love the photo book, it's absolutely gorgeous, I love the colours, each concept is breathtaking and really makes the members really stand out. I think this photo book is definitely my favourite.
The album itself is pretty upbeat, which last year was something we needed with everything that was happening around the world, while it was released in Autumn, it definitely has more of a summer sound. Each of the tracks sound different, while giving off a similar feeling.
I love the intro for Ghosting, then the beat kicks in just after and while it's an upbeat song, it has a sadder meaning, they sing about a relationship that's ended with no explanation and how they're trying to deal with it all and move on. I love how soft each of their voices are for this song, which fits perfectly with the music and the lyrics meaning.
Ghosting
Those magically notes opening up 5시 53분의 하늘에서 발견한 너와 나 (Blue Hour), makes you know you're in for a magical and creative song. I absolutely love this song and is one of my favourite title tracks from Tomorrow X Together. My only disappointment is that the little break down section isn't on the studio version of the track. Thankfully though the song still sounds amazing without it.

I absolutely adore 날씨를 잃어버렸어 (We Lost the Summer), this song is about how everyone was affected last year with the Covid-19 pandemic, and while it's still happening, when this song was released, it couldn't have been more relevant for what everything was going through. Everything went digital, people had to meet via video calls, even concerts and fanmeets went online. This song really made me appreciate everything singers, groups and idols were going through, in a business where their fans support means the world to them, they could no longer meet and see them in person.
날씨를 잃어버렸어 (We Lost the Summer)
I love how mellow and simple the intro is for Wishlist, and then the chorus kicks in, it really reminds me of the 00's boyband songs. I love that there is a difference in how the verses and chorus sounds, it really give it a happy-go-lucky sound, for me anyway.

I think 하굣길 (Way Home), is such a pretty song to end the album with, I love how simple and lowkey the melody is, making their voices stand out so much more.
하굣길 (Way Home)
I can't wait for Tomorrow X Together to make their next comeback, I'm excited to see what they will show us, I'm sure we won't be waiting too long before they bring us something new to amaze us yet again.
