I've actually known about ATEEZ for a while, I actually like their songs Wonderland and Say My Name, but they weren't really a group I paid a lot of attention to, till lately. The more I heard their songs the more I starting paying attention to them, also watching them on Kingdom: Legendary War, has been showing me how talented they are. A few of their songs appeared on my Daily Mix 1 on Spotify, which made me want to check out more of their b-sides. For quite some time the only member I knew was San, but I have now officially learnt who is who.
As you can see I have both versions of the album, but I did buy them pre-owned so they don't have the cards, but I do love the colours and the photo books.
On the first listen I was blown away and it honestly made me feel so disappointed that I'd taken so long to start paying attention them.
I'll be honest, on first starting to check out more of ATEEZ' stuff, I wasn't a big fan of Answer, but the more I listened to it, the more I started to like it and ultimately fell in love with, now I always find myself singing along with it.
Answer
There's nothing I dislike about 지평선 (Horizon), I especially love the music and the melody, it definitely has that ATEEZ vibe. There's also a section of the melody that kind of reminds me of Super Junior-M's Break Down. I love how the track changes up throughout.
지평선 (Horizon)
I can honestly say that Star 1117 blew me away as I'm not used to hearing ATEEZ do ballads or just slower songs in general, but this song is absolutely stunning. I love the melody and I love all the vocals, it really shows that each member can hold their own. I can happily listen to this track all day.
Star 1117
I love how Precious changes from the verses to the chorus, I love the contrast between the singing and the rapping.
Precious
I think Outro: Long Journey perfectly concludes the album, and is ready to start their next chapter.
Outro: Long Journey
I'm definitely hooked on ATEEZ and while I'm a fan of theirs I wouldn't class my self as an ATINY just yet. I'm definitely excited to see what they have in store for us with their next comeback, I hope their exposure on Kingdom: Legendary War gains them more domestic fans as I know they're more popular internationally, I also hope that the drama Imitation that 4 of the members are in, starts picking up in views, as I'm loving it so far.
8 makes one team!
