I have the season 3 version of the album an I love the layout, for me the design makes it look like  it's in a DVD case. The photobook is really cute and really colourful. I love the little info pages about each member and I love that they also included Yuchan.
The album itself for me has a mixture of upbeat, midtempo and slower tracks, and I love that there are also English versions of the tracks.

I've been in love with Effortless since it was pre-released, it was he first song released since Donghun, Junhee, Wow and Byeongkwan finished their military service. I love everything about the track from the melody to the vocals. This song shows how talented they all are vocally. For me this song really signalled they're return and reminded me how much I'd missed them.
Effortless

A.C.E are one of those groups that can pull off any sound My Girl is a fun midtempo track, while they tend to release dark/up tempo tracks. This was such a nice change from the norm from them, I will admit that I'm glad the M/V had a comedic feel otherwise I would have cried throughout.

Angel is such a stunning ballad and yet again showcases how talented each member is with their vocals.
Angel

I remember the first time I listened to Facetime, it threw me off because of the ringing in the song, especially when the song seemed to stop, I thought I somehow had a call coming through, even though I don't have my echo dot connected for calls. It did make me giggle and I thought it was a clever tie-in to the song. It's another bright midtempo track that fits them perfectly.
Facetime

Of course if I loved the Korean version I'm going to love Effortless (Eng. Ver.). The English version was originally the version released with the Korean version on after with the pre-release. No matter the version, Wow's part will always be my favourite, I just love his voice.
Effortless (Eng. Ver.)

My Girl (Eng. Ver.) is just as cute as the original Korean release.

Angel (Eng. Ver.) is just as stunning in English as it is in Korean and like Effortless, it's initial release was in English, with the Korean also released alongside it when it was pre-released.
Angel (Eng. Ver.)

I can't help but think this album was released as a special album for the fans as well as to celebrate 4 of the members return. As well as new music, it was also announced that that members would promote with their real names rather than stage names, Wow is the only member to keep his stage name.
Yuchan has now completed his military service so I can't wait for them to return as 5 and see what they bring us next.
