I have the Us version of the album and I absolutely loved the layout of the album as well as the photo book, the pictures are stunning and work really well with the colours used. I love that the pages are glossy, it gives it a high-end fashion magazine feel.
The album itself is amazing, it's definitely on par with their 1st full length album, if not even better. Each track is different and showcases a different side to Astro, showing how versatile they are as a group.
Dear My Universe is such a stunning song to start the album with, it's such a uplifting and refreshing song. I love the melody, and they way they sing the chorus is stunning. I love how all their voices fit with the melody, even Jin Jin that has a deeper voice, it all just works so perfectly.
Dear My Universe
Butterfly Effect is one of my favourite tracks from the album, I absolutely love the melody, and I especially love the chorus. For me this song is up there with Role Play and Go&Stop as part of my main favourite b-sides from Astro. I fell in love with this song as soon as I listened to it.
Butterfly Effect
Astro always have amazing title tracks but ONE is on another level, this is something new that they've been able to show us and I will happily admit that this is my favourite title track of theirs. I love that we get to see a new side to them with this song, while the song does have that Astro sound, the chorus goes hard and shows us how versatile they really are.
ONE
Someone Else gives me such a familiar feeling, but it could be that for me it has that Astro sound, I love that it's a unit song, allowing MJ, Jin Jin & Moonbin to show more of their talents, they fit perfectly for this track.
Someone Else
SNS is another of my favourite tracks from this album, this song fits Rocky, Cha Eunwoo and Sanha's voices perfectly. I love melody and how soft their voices are to fit with the melody during the verses.
SNS
All Good makes me feel all summery, it's definitely a perfect song to give you warmth, it's also really uplifting, personally for me it makes me feel like I can take on anything coming my way.
All Good
For me All Stars has a youthful vibe, which is something that still fits with Astro's sound, to be honest I'll be surprised when there isn't a song with this kind of vibe on one of their albums. It's such a feel good song and makes me feel all happy and bright.
All Stars
Zaty Farhani
우리의 계절 (Our Spring) is another of my favourite tracks, it's such a stunning song, it really makes me think of all the flowers blooming, giving the feeling of new beginnings. I love the contrast between Rocky and Jin Jin's raps and the vocals, everything just blends well together perfectly.
우리의 계절 (Our Spring)
I love how simple and stripped back the melody for Stardust sounds against their vocals, even their vocals sound so pure and full of emotion. For me it's a song that allows us to connect with Astro, reminding us that we all look up at the same sky.
Stardust
The melody for 별비 (Gemini) is just breathtaking, MJ should be proud of himself, this song for some reason just pulls all my emotions to the surface, the vocals, the raps, the melody, it's all just perfect. This song is truly fit for a Korean drama soundtrack, and I think they really missed a beat not grabbing this song for that reason. This song just makes me fall in love with Astro so much more, it really shows how talented all 6 of them are as individuals as well as a group.
별비 (Gemini)
The more I listen to this album the more I can hear how they've changed and grown over the years, especially Cha Eunwoo, I can really tell how much his vocals have improved over the years, he definitely sounds stronger and more confident in his voice. I'm always excited when Astro announce a comeback because I know they're going to bring us something new, and this album was no different.
One thing I love about Astro is how in their songs they sound like a team, no member outshines another, they all have their own talent and vocal range and they blend well together, showing why they're a perfect fit as a group.
