I have the realize version, and I absolutely love the photo book, I love the glossy pages, it makes it look like a high-end fashion magazine. I also love the colours used.
I have to say that this is so far my favourite album from THE BOYZ, each track has a different vibe and it blends together perfectly.
I absolutely love Awake, I love how simple the melody sounds, meaning their voices stand out so much more. I love the vocals throughout and the raps are amazing, it really is a perfect way to open the album with. I also love how it blends perfectly into the next song.
Awake
I love Roar, it's definitely one of my favourite title tracks from THE BOYZ, I definitely love the more mature and sultry sounding songs from them. The vocals and raps are on point.
Roar
I think Blah Blah sounds really cute, it's very different from the previous 2 tracks, I especially love the chorus.
Blah Blah
Another song I love is Savior, I especially love the chorus, I could listen to this track on repeat all day. Their voices on this song is just perfect.
Savior
숨 (Horizon is such a stunning song, if any song is going to stop you in your tracks and really listen to their voices, it's this track. The melody is stunning and the vocals and soft raps fit it perfectly. It really showcase how they blend perfectly together.
숨 (Horizon)
Diamond Life is the perfect track to the end the album, it's definitely another of my favourites on this album. It has a darker sound and vibe compared to the rest of the album, which shows how versatile they all are.
Diamond Life
As I have said earlier, this is definitely one of my albums from THE BOYZ, each track could stand alone as a title track, I love that it has a more mellow sound as well as allowing them to have a mature sounding album, allowing them to show a more mature and sultry side.
I can't wait to see what they bring us next.
