I have the Document version of the album and I love it, the cover is just basic and simple, being white with just the album name and track list.
I absolutely love the photo book, it's bright and summery and fits the concept really well, I love the scenery, it makes the pictures and the members look stunning.
The album itself is a perfect summer album, each track is different and really showcases THE BOYZ' talents and charms.

I love the melody for Whisper, the song itself gives me Thrill Ride vibes. I love the vocals and the raps, it's such a catchy and summery song. I always end up singing along with it.
Whisper

I really like the beat for Bump & Love, I've been in love with this track from the very first listen. I love their vocals against the melody, it fits and blends together perfectly.
Bump & Love

One of my favourite tracks on this album is C.O.D.E. I love how upbeat it is, it gives me those summer vibes. I love everything about it from the melody to the vocals and raps.
C.O.D.E

Another of my favourite tracks from this album is 무중력 (Levitating), whenever I see the name of this track I get the song stuck straight in my head. I love how chilled out the melody is giving it a mature sounding vibe.
무중력 (Levitating)

Survive the Night from start to finish is such a stunning song, the vocals against the melody are breathtaking. Even though it's a little more upbeat than the typical ballad, I think it's a song that fits that style perfectly.
Survive the Night

Knowing that some of the members wrote the lyrics for Timeless, makes me love the song so much more, you know that the lyrics really mean something to them and that they mean every word they sing and rap. For me with the melody and the lyrics, this is a fan song as well as a song they'd close their shows with.
Timeless

With each release, they really show off how versatile they are, which makes me glad that I finally came across them and started paying attention to them. They never fail to surprise me with each release, and with each new release, I fall in love with them all over again.

I can't wait to share their recent album with you, and I can't wait to see what they bring us next.
