I have the Fake version of the album and I love the layout as well as the photobook. I love the styling, it makes it look like a high-end fashion shoot.
The album itself is definitely one of my favourites. Each songs shows something different and I especially love the unit tracks.

I absolutely love WATCH IT, it's definitely one of my favourite title tracks from The Boyz. I didn't think I could love this song even more than I already did until I saw it live. It's definitely on another level seeing in person. I love the melody, raps and vocals, especially Sunwoo's 'Hi, Hello' part. I think this song will always give me Goosebumps and take me right back to the concert.
WATCH IT

I absolutely love 덫 (Rat In The Trap), I love the melody, it gives a dark but sensual style vibe and fits Sangyeon, Jacob, New, Kevin and JuHaknyeon perfectly. I would love to see more from them as a unit. I've been in love with this track from the very first listen.
덫 (Rat In The Trap)

I was so in love with Honey on the first listen that I didn't even realise that it was completely in English. I love the melody and Sunwoo and Eric compliment each other so much in this track. I love the contrast between them rapping and singing throughout the track. I think it really shows that they're not just talented rappers.
Honey

I love how different Bad Luck sounds to the previous tracks, it really shows how versatile The Boyz are. I really like the melody, and their vocals in the chorus.
Bad Luck

Of course like the rest of the tracks, I really like CRYING & LAUGHTER. I love how mellow the melody sounds as it really makes their vocals stand out more.
CRYING & LAUGHTER

I think Escape is the perfect track to close the album with. I love the melody and the voices against the melody is stunning. Especially Jacobs, his vocal tones really fit this track perfectly.
Escape

As a whole I love this album, I love that while each track has a different vibe, they all fit perfectly as an album. For me this album gives of a mature vibe and sound for them and I'm sure I've said it in the past that while I love their bright and upbeat tracks, I love their darker songs so much more. For me The Boyz are the epitome of versatile and they know it.
They're about to release a new album (will be released at the time of posting), and I can't wait to listen to it. Eric told us it will be hardcore and lit, which from the teaser images and highlight medley, he wasn't lying.
