I have the Carat version of the album and I got DK's version. I love the whole layout for this album and I especially love the concept, it's really cute and colourful.
The album itself is amazing, as expected from Seventeen, each track is different, and it takes me back to their debut release, while giving us new sounds.

I love the melody for SOS (Prod. Marshmello) and I knew I was going to love this track as soon as I heard it. I love how this track suits all their vocal tones, singing and rapping styles. It's a track that really compliments them all.
SOS (Prod. Marshmello)

I love 음악의신 (God of Music), it's a really cute up tempo track that gives me Mansae and Very Nice vibes. Seventeen is one of those groups that can pull of cute and bright up tempo tracks, as well as dark vibes. This track never fails to get me singing along when I listen to it.

I have to say my favourite track from this album is Diamond Days, it really took me back to their debut with their b-side Shining Diamond, which is another of my favourite tracks. I will admit when I first heard it, it brought a few tears to my eyes because of how it made me reminisce, even though I wasn't a fan when they debuted, this year marks my 8th year of being a Carat.

What I love about this album is that we have team songs again, and it starts with Back 2 Back from the performance team. While I love this song, this is the first time the performance teams song hasn't been my favourite of the 3.
Back 2 Back

From the teaser, I knew I was going to love Monster, this track is by the hip-hop team and it's my favourite of the team songs. I love everything about this track and if any of the songs could sound less like Seventeen, it's this one. Which is why I love it so much because it's something new for us.
Monster

As expected of the vocal team, they pull off yet another mazing ballad with 하품 (Yawn). The melody is stunning, their vocals are stunning against the melody.
하품 (Yawn)

What better track to close the album with than Headliner. It's songs like Headliner that show that all 13 members are talented, even though they have their roles in the group, they can pull off other roles too.
Headliner

As always Seventeen created an amazing album, with amazing and catchy tracks, you can really tell that they put their all into this album. This album really makes me reminisce, and I feel that's exactly what Seventeen wanted.

They're about to release a Best Of album, so I can't help but think this mini album was their last new release before the members start enlisting. I always look forward to Seventeen's releases as they never fail to blow me away and remind me just how amazing they are.
