I have the UK HMV exclusive version of the album, which seems to me seems to be the Digipak version, just with the inclusions all being member specific. Obviously I would get my hands on Hongjoong's version.
I love the layout of the album and I especially love the photobook.
The album itself is definitely one of my favourite ATEEZ albums so far, each track is different and shows off something new from the group.
I love Golden Hour, there's something about the melody and Maddox's narration. It all just fits together perfectly.
Golden Hour
ShadowByYoongi
I absolutely love Blind. For me this track is all things ATEEZ. I love how they experiment with music, as it tends to give us something new that still gives off that AREEZ vibe. This is definitely a party songs, it gives me vibes of a fiesta.
Blind
WORK
I love the melody for Empty Box. Their vocals against the melody are stunning, for me their strengths lie more in their faster tracks. But when we gets ballads like this it just shows how talented they all really are. Even Hongjoong and Mingi's rap styles fit perfectly in this ballad.
Empty Box
Shaboom has that power that whenever I listen to it, I can't help but dancing along to it. I love how the melody changes up between the verses and choruses. The more I listen to it the more it pulls me in.
Shaboom
I love the intro melody for Siren, it gives me nostalgic vibes. I love the melody overall, as well as the vocals and raps. This is definitely a perfect track to finish the album with.
Siren
I absolutely love this album, I love that they're experimenting with different sounds and genre's it's what makes them a unique group. No matter the music they create, it still has that ATEEZ stamp on it. With each comeback they raise the bar for themselves and they never seem to disappoint.
I'm hoping that I'll finally get to see them live next year as all their tours have had a stop in London, so I'm hoping this tour is no different.
I always look forward to each comeback, and I can't wait to see what they bring us with their next comeback.
8 makes 1 team!
