Sorry I'm Not Sorry
I really like the layout for this album, and I was way too excited by the fact that I got 2 Kihyun photo cards, as the only time I ever seem to pull his cards is when it's a unit card. I love the photo book, I think I'd have to say that it's my favourite of the versions, I love the colours used as I think it makes them stand out so much more in their black outfits.
The album itself is amazing, they're first release as a 6-membered group left me feeling slightly underwhelmed, which was the first time an album from MONSTA X made me feel that way, but this album made me fall in love with them all over again, while it still has that MONSTA X vibe you can tell they also wanted to try and bring something new to their fans with this album.
From the very first beat starting Love Killa, I knew this song would have me on the edge of my seat throughout. I love the raps, the vocals and the melody, this track fits each members vocals perfectly, I especially love Hyungwon's voice in this track.
Love Killa
We knew MONSTA X had a track called 갈증 (Gasoline), because they had teased the name during one of their previous teasers but the track never appeared on the album and instead appeared on the Fatal Love album. I love the melody of this track, this track sounds a lot softer and slower than I was expecting from the tracks name.
갈증 (Gasoline)
I absolutely love the vocals in Thriller, I love the bridge and the chorus, they have to be my favourite parts of the track, especially Minhyuk and Hyungwon's vocals.
Thriller
There's something Guess Who, that pulls you in from the very first note, while it gives me strong MONSTA X vibes, it also reminds me of something EXO would also release. I love how their vocals work with the melody, for me, making this song sound quite sexy.
Guess Who
I think Nobody Else shows off MONSTA X' sexy and sultry side, their voices fit perfectly with the melody, for me in this track Shownu's voice is like honey.
Nobody Else
Beastmode is 100% MONSTA X, it's your typical go hard or go home track that they always know how to take to the next level.
Beastmode
대동단결 (Stand Together) is Jooheon and I.M at their rap best, while I love everyone's vocals, Jooheon and I.M's fast raps never fail to blow me away. I can't help but think this track is a song for the haters as well as for MONBEBE, telling us to always listen to and trust in them, no mater what happens, no matter how many times they get knocked down, they will get back up and fight. This track also takes me back to their No Mercy and debut days.
대동단결 (Stand Together)
Night View sounds like something what would have been on their English album All About Luv, for me that was an album that all new sounds for MONSTA X, so it's nice to hear sounds like that on one of their Korean albums.
Night View
I love how different Last carnival sounds from the rest of the album as well as other MONSTA X tracks, I think it really shows how versatile they really are, I think for non-MONBEBE they're known for their harder title tracks, so this shows that there is definitely more to the group, as well as showing that they're always still to bring something new to the table.
Last Carnival
I think I have to say that Sorry I'm Not Sorry is my favourite track from the album, I absolutely love all their voices in this track, it's another track that shows that each member has vocals that can make them stand out.
Sorry I'm Not Sorry
MONSTA X have recently had another comeback with their title track Gambler from their 9th mini album One of a Kind, proving again that they have what it takes to keep releasing amazing tracks and albums, this album to me shouted MONSTA X is back
It's scary to think we're now getting closer to the members having to enlist for their mandatory military service, I'd think this is something I'm used to now after 8 years but it's still always sad to see the members say farewell for a short while.
