Story







































I have the Eclipse version of the album and I love that the cover is glossy like a magazine, the photo book is stunning too, since paying more attention to A.C.E, I can't get over how they always pull off such amazing and stunning aesthetics and this album is no different, not only is the photo book stunning, but the tracks on the album are also. It's sad that while their popularity and public interest is rising, they're still not getting the recognition they deserve.

I absolutely love Intro: Miserere Mei Deus (We Fell Down), while it sounds a little eerie, it also sounds stunning and really stopped me in my tracks when I first listened to it.
Intro: Miserere Mei Deus (We Fell Down)

I absolutely love and adore Atlantis, I love the melody and I love the vocals and raps, to me this track is perfect for A.C.E and I couldn't imagine anyone else singing or performing this track. I sincerely thank Pentagon's Kino for writing this song, my only fault with the track, was that I didn't realise they were saying Atlantis, but after a few listens, I fell in love with their pronunciation of the word.
Atlantis

Every time I listen to Higher, I always spend it smiling the whole way through, the melody, the vocals, the raps, the whole song is so uplifting, I love how it sounds different from their previous title track. For me this track is like their reaching out to every listener, whether they're a Choice or not and wanting to raise all their moods with them. With each title track I fall in love with them even more.
Higher

I absolutely adore Chasing Love, I especially love the chorus, I always find myself singling along to this track, I love how chilled it is and how their vocals flow so effortlessly with the melody. This track is just perfection and really showcases just how talented vocally A.C.E are.
Chasing Love

I think Story is such a stunning and perfect track to conclude this album with, the main thing I love about this song is how you can truly hear their emotions within their vocals, I always feel it's easier for them to do that when they're lyrics they've wrote themselves. This track just shows Donghun and Jun know how to write beautiful lyrics alongside a melody that matches along with it with perfection. I love their high notes, it really shows that all 5 members have amazing vocals as well as being a versatile group.
Story

This album is truly amazing and is on my rather long list of contenders for my top 10 K-pop albums for 2021. I look forward to see what Jun, Byeongkwan and Chan will be up to while Donghun and Wow are away doing their military service. It's nice seeing Byeongkwan back on Arirang as the newest MC of After School Club, I was gutted when Pops In Seoul came to an end, so it's nice to see him back on my screen every Tuesday. I'm curious to see if whether Jun and Chan will release solo music or even appear in musicals, I think it would be nice to see a sub-unit while Donghun and Wow are away, but I'm happy with whatever the 3 remaining members decide, I just don't want to go too long without seeing and hearing from the members.
