Interlude: Question
Scylla Ver.
Odysseus Ver.
Charybdis Ver.
Essential Ver.
As you can see, I have all 4 versions of the album, and it's the same with all their releases, I feel that watching them grow and becoming a group through I-Land, this is my way of supporting them.
I love the layout of the albums and the colours used for the versions, the photo books are stunning, I love that we always get a dark concept that shows off their mature side, and then brighter concepts that show off their fun and youthful side.
The album itself is amazing, and for their 1st full length album, they did an amazing job of showing us how they continue to grow and improve vocally, as well as continuing to show us how versatile they are.
I can remember that when I first heard Intro: Whiteout I wasn't sure, but the more I heard it the more I realised I liked it. I think it will be odd when we don't have Jake talking in the intro's anymore, but right now I'm enjoying Jake and the rest of the group sharing their journey with us.
Intro: Whiteout
No matter how many times I hear Tamed-Dashed, it makes me think of the summer and while it may not be my favourite title track, it always gets me hyped up, singing and dancing along. What I mainly love about this track, especially as the title track, it showed us a new side to ENHYPEN, it has a more brighter concept, so it shows that they can do a brighter and happier sounding track.
Tamed-Dashed
I love the melody for Upper Side Dreamin' I think it gives off spring/summer vibes. I also love their vocals with the melody, I think they blend together perfectly.
Upper Side Dreamin'
I fell in love with 몰랐어 (Just A Little Bit) as soon as I heard it, I think sometimes when you think of slower songs/ballads, you think strong powerful vocals, and even though they're not on the same vocal strength as singers like Taeyeon, Onew and Kihyun, they still have strong enough vocals to do this type of song and they did it beautifully, which shows how much they're improving. Especially Jay, it seems gone are the times of him raising his hand for a part and failing to hit those notes.
몰랐어 (Just A Little Bit)
I definitely have to say that 모 아니면 도 (Go Big Or Go Home) is my favourite b-side from this album, I love the melody, the raps and the vocals, it's definitely been my favourite since the first listen. I love the contrast between the verses and chorus.
모 아니면 도 (Go Big Or Go Home)
As both a MOA and an Engene, I was insanely excited to see Blockbuster (액션 영화처럼) Featuring Yeonjun from Tomorrow X Together on the track list and I couldn't wait to hear it, especially knowing that Heeseung trained with the TXT boys. I think Yeonjun fit in perfectly with the Enhypen boys and I love the rock sound. I love how the melody changes throughout the track.
Blockbuster (액션 영화처럼) Feat. Yeonjun of Tomorrow X Together
I can't help but love the melody for Attention, Pleas! I feel that from the very start you know it's going to be a great track. The chorus is such a hype that you can't help but sing and dance along, even when I'm sat down my foot moves along with the music.
Attention, Please!
With ENHYPEN fashion the album closes with Jakes narration, with the addition of Jay and Heeseung with Interlude: Question, Jake's Aussie accent fits perfectly with the melody, and I think it's the perfect track to tease what is to come next, especially when it leads into their next release.
Interlude: Question
You can really hear how much they've improved in such a short space of time, and for their first full length album they did a really amazing job. Each time it's announced they're making a comeback, I get so excited because I can't wait to see what they're going to bring us next and to see how they've improved yet again.
