I have the M version and I love the photo book, the pages are glossy are the pictures are stunning, I love the colours and styling used for this concept. The white background really makes the members pop.
I love the layout for the album, it's definitely different from their other albums, I do feel it will get crushed and misshapen from having other albums placed upon it.
The album itself is full of amazing tracks that show new sides to the group, showing with each album how much they've grown and improved, since their debut.
I absolutely adore WALK THE LINE, I love the melody and I love that each member narrates on the track, rather than it being just Jake and I love that they all use their native language, with Jungwon, Heeseung and Sunghoon speaking Korean, Jay and Jake speaking English and Ni-Ki speaking Japanese. It's definitely my favourite intro song from their albums, it's completely different from the intro track Walk the Line on their debut mini album.
WALK THE LINE
For me I didn't think anything could top Blessed-Cursed as a title track from ENHYPEN, but Future Perfect (Pass the Mic) knocked it off the top spot for me. Personally for me this is the type of song that fits ENHYPEN perfectly, it also gives me early BTS vibes.
Future Perfect (Pass the Mic)
I love the melody for ParadoXXX Invasion, I especially love the chorus and I love how all their vocals fit perfectly with the beat. This is one of those songs that the more you listen to it, the more you fall in love with it. The transitions between the verses, bridge and chorus' it gives me late 90's/early 00's boyband vibes.
ParadoXXX Invasion
I love the opening vocals from Jay and Ni-Ki in TFW (That Feeling When), but honestly the vocalization throughout this track is stunning. The melody seems pretty simple which makes this whole song sound stunning.
TFW (That Feeling When)
SHOUT OUT gives me anime vibes, as well as early 00's boyband vibes. It's definitely one of my favourite tracks on the album. It's a song that fits them all perfectly, I couldn't see any of them struggling with this track.
SHOUT OUT
I love that the group narrates Foreshadow like Walk the Line and I love the melody as they sing, it's definitely one of my favourite closing tracks from their albums.
Foreshadow
I personally think this is ENHYPEN's best album so far, it really shows how much they have grown and improved since their debut.
Every time ENHYPEN make a comeback, I'm so excited to see and hear what they have in store for us
