FIN: WILL



















I have Hongjoong's HMV exclusive, which was available here in the UK, it's pretty much the size of a jewel case album, and is a pretty normal and basic album.
The album itself screams all things ATEEZ stands for, it's such an amazing album and shows that they love to experiment and change things up.

I absolutely love the melody for WE KNOW. I love how they all sound in this track and I think the chorus is really catchy.
WE KNOW

For me Emergency is something new from ATEEZ. I love the melody and I love how it changes from the verses to the chorus. I love their voices on this track too, they really fit with the melody well.
Emergency

미친 폼 (Crazy Form) screams ATEEZ and as usual for an ATEEZ title track, it's really catchy. I'm not normally a fan of auto-tune, but it really works in this song. No matter how many times I listen to this song, my foot automatically taps along, and I can't help but singing along.
미친 폼 (Crazy Form)

I love how exotic ARRIBA sounds, it makes me feel like I'm relaxing in the sunshine.
ARRIBA

The intro for Silver Light is perfect. It's definitely one of my favourite tracks. The voices against the melody is perfection. You just know that this track is on another level when performed live.
Silver Light

How stunning is Crescent Part 2. The melody is absolutely beautiful and I think it blends into the next track perfectly.
Crescent Part 2

I love the melody for 꿈날 (Dreamy Day), to match it's name it does have a dreamy feel to it. It's a stunning song and definitely one of my favourites. This track fits the members perfectly, as well as fitting them as a group. I think it's a really well rounded track.
꿈날 (Dreamy Day)

MATZ fits Hongjoong and Seonghwa perfectly, I normally hate auto-tune, but it fits perfectly into this track. I love the different contrast between Hongjoong and Seonghwa's voices and vocal tones. They both really shine on this track, it's a pretty badass track. The change up towards the end too is chef's kiss.
MATZ (Hongjoong & Seonghwa)

The melody for It's You is amazing, this is definitely mu favourite unit track on the album. The blend of Yeosang, San and Wooyoung's voices is perfection. The difference in their vocal tones is stunning and that chorus is really catchy and keeps you hooked.
It's You (Yeosang, San & Wooyoung)

I absolutely adore the melody for Youth. It fits both Yunho and Mingi perfectly. The difference between Yunho's higher range, compare to Mingi's deep voice makes them a perfect unit. I absolutely adore Yunho's singings in this track. It really pulls me in.
Youth (Yunho & Mingi)

I don't know about anyone else, but I think I would have been disappointed if with the unit tracks we didn't get Jongho singing a ballad. Which is what we got with Everything. It's no exaggeration when I say that Jongho is one of the best vocalists in K-pop, he's also up there for me as an overall vocalist. The ranges he can reach are stunning and breath-taking. This track really shows the power he has over his voice.
Everything (Jongho)

FIN: WILL is the perfect closure for both this album and this era of ATEEZ. It's stunning and makes me excited for what's to come.
FIN: WILL

This is a perfect album from ATEEZ and shows a whole new side and depth to the group. Each track is different and gives off a different vibe. I mainly loved the unit tracks as this was the first time we got unit songs on an album. It shows how well the members work together and shows each of their strengths and what they bring to the group.
They've recently had a comeback and expected it's on another level.

8 makes 1 team!
