I have the Hate version of the album, out of all of the photo books of the main versions, I liked Hate's concept the most as it reminded me of Edwards Scissorhands, and even though there isn't much colour in the photo's they still look stunning with the members standing out from the background.
The album itself is typical of Tomorrow X Together, in that it's an all-round and diverse album, each track is different from the last and allows them to continue to show more new sides of themselves and continue to be versatile.

I could listen to Opening Sequence all day, I love the melody, all their vocals are really on point and I especially love the chorus. This is one of those songs that Tomorrow X Together are completely in tune with throughout the song, they blend so well together.
Opening Sequence

Good Boy Gone Bad is definitely one of my favourite Tomorrow X Together title tracks. I love that the rockier sound it has and I love that with each comeback they change up their sound. If anything this is my favourite sound from them. I have to say though my favourite part is Yeonjun's rap, into his little giggle. I definitely feel like this era was made for Yeonjun.
Good Boy Gone Bad

I love hearing Tomorrow X Together do ballads, it's shows that all 5 members have amazing vocals. It has such a different vibe to the previous songs on the album, which shows that they're really talented and put their all into whatever they do, to allow everyone to see different sides of them. This song is just so pretty.
Trust Fund Baby

I hope we get more songs like  which is performed by Yeonjun and Huening Kai. The contrast of their voices is perfection, they literally bounce off one another. I love the contrast between vocals and rap too, my only criticism is that it's just not long enough. I love everything about this song and I hope that I can see it live one day.
네 번째 손가락 위타투 (Lonely Boy)

I love the opening to Thursday's Child Has Far To Go, I love the melody as well as the vocals and I think it really sounds like something I'd hear playing on the radio at the moment. I think the chorus is really catchy and I love the build-up at the start into the first verse. I don't think I could imagine anyone else but Tomorrow X Together singing this song.
Thursday's Child Has Far To Go

This album yet again shows how amazingly talented Tomorrow X Together are, they've grown so much over the years since their debut and with each comeback the raise the bar again on what to expect from them as a group, they never disappoint. This is definitely one of my favourte albums and concept from them. They've been busy with a world tour, so I can only hope they come to the UK at some point. I also can't wait to see what they have in store for us with their next album series.
