Nightmare Ver.
Lullaby Ver. (Soobin)
I love the layout of both versions of the album I have, it's really simple and really pretty.
I love the pages for the photo book for the Nightmare versions, they're really glossy and pretty, making the images pop even more, it reminds me of their WORLD version of The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE.
When it comes to TXT, I tend to be Beomgyu and Huening Kai cursed as they're the members I usually pull with the random stuff, but I was insanely happy when I opened my Lullaby album and came face to face with Soobin, he was my first bias when I came across txt (it was the smile). His photo book is stunning and even though the colours used look dark and dim, it actually gives off a feeling of warmth.
The album itself is as usual amazing, for me it takes TXT to a whole other level, showing that their versatility is in no shape of form slowing down or changing. I feel that TXT make their own rules, and I love watching them bring something new each time.
I get Billie Eilish vibes from Devil by the Window, I've been in love with this song since I've heard it. I love the melody and vocals, it gives of such a sultry and mature vibe. I'd love to hear TXT do more songs like this one.
Devil by the Window
Sugar Rush Ride makes me think of Blue Hour with how upbeat it is, but it's Blue Hour on a whole other level. There's something about TXT'S title tracks that each time they release a new one it become my favourite. For my this is on par with Can't You See Me. I love the melody and the vocals.

Happy Fools Feat. Coi Leray is such a cute song, it's once of those songs that sucks you in and has you singing along, it's super catchy.

If there's one song from this album that I desperately want to see live it's Tinnitus (돌멩이가 되고 싶어 (Wanna Be A Rock)). I love everything about this song and have done since my first listen. Their vocals fit the tempo perfectly. I definitely think this is a favourite amongst the MOA's.

I absolutely adore 네버랜드를 떠나며 (Farewell, Neverland), their voices in this song are just stunning, I could listen to it all day.

With each album Tomorrow X Together sail to new heights and get better with each album, for now this is by far my favourite release from them, but that could soon change when they release their next album.
They're currently on tour again and I can only hope that the UK is one of their stops.
