I have the Go, Limited version of the album, and I love the photo book, the styling and setting is perfect.
The album itself is typical of Stray Kids, in that it's amazing, they definitely excelled themselves with this album.
While Case 143 is a love song, it still embodies everything Stray Kids. I love the melody, soon as you hear it, you know you're in for a musical journey. It's really catchy and extremely hard to not sing along with the track. It's definitely up there with my favourite Stray Kids title tracks.
Case 143
For me 식혀 (Chill) is something new from Stray Kids, I love the melody, it reminds me of something GOT7 would have released. As always everything is on point from the vocals to the raps.
식혀 (Chill)
I absolutely love Give Me Your TMI, I love the melody, it also gives me 00's boyband vibes. This song never fails in making me dance along to the beat.
Give Me Your TMI
Super Board is definitely one of my favourite tracks on this album, it's really catchy and you can't help but sing along throughout the track. The more I listen to it the more I fall more and more in love with the song. For me this is the most Stray Kids song on the album.
Super Board
I absolutely love 3RACHA, you just know that when the 3racha boys are doing a unit song together that it's going to be fire. I personally love when Bang Chan raps in English because you can really hear his Aussie accent. With that aside, this song is amazing.
3RACHA
As always the unit track with Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix aka DanceRacha is amazing, I've also noticed all 3 of my favourite unit tracks contains Hyunjin. I love the melody for this track, I've been in love with this track since the UNVEIL track video was released. As always they have a perfect track.
Taste
I love the melody for 나 너 좋아하나봐 (Can't Stop), it gives me anime opening vibes, as well as DAY6 vibes, which I think Seungmin would love as a fellow My Day. I think this song is perfect for Seungmin and I.N's vocals.
나 너 좋아하나봐 (Can't Stop)
While I've not listened to much of the Japanese release of Circus, I love the melody, it's very Stray Kids, so I was happy to see Circus (Korean Ver.) on this albums track list. I love how they include music and sounds that you would hear at the circus.
Circus (Korean Ver.)
MAXIDENT is my favourite Stray Kids album to date, I love that while trying new things, they still keep to their Stray Kids sound, and I'm insanely proud of how far they've come.
Next month we should get our yearly video, letting us know what they have in store for us for 2023 and I hope it includes a trip to perform in the UK.
