I have the DREAMini version of the album and I love the layout. I love that it looks like a cassette tape, it really makes it look unique.
I love the photobook, the pictures are really stunning and have a good mixture of concept styles.
The album itself is definitely one of my favourite Dream albums. Each track is different and showcases different vibes from the group.
I absolutely love the melody for icantfeelanything. It's a really good opening track for the album, I love the change up of the melody throughout the track. Their vocals and raps on the track make it stand out too. My only dilemma now when I listen to this track is that soon as it finishes, rather than my brain following the albums track list, I automatically hear the concerts setlist.

I love Smoothie as the title track. I love how the song starts before the music actually starts. For me this is one of those songs that really showcase how mature NCT Dream have become with their music. I love how the melody changes, especially at the chorus.
Smoothie
BOX is one of my favourite tracks on the album. I've been hooked since the first listen and my love for it only grew when I got to see it performed live. I love the melody and the raps and vocals are on point. This is a song that gets stuck in my head and is definitely one of my favourite Dream b-sides.
BOX
I remember the first time I listened to Carat Cake, I was in Manchester with my friend Mary as we were off to see Eric Nam, and this song had us laughing. I really wasn't expecting a song like this but it's so good, catchy and addictive. This has become the song I sing when I make anything that's carrot cake.
Carat Cake
I absolutely love and adore UNKOWN. The melody is stunning and their vocals against it makes it such a stunning song. You would think a melody like this would just be a perfect fit for Haechan, Renjun and Chenle because they have high soft tones to their voices but it fits perfectly with them all, they way Mark, Jeno, Jaemin and Jisung soften their voices to fit the melody is perfection. You just know this song live would be breathtaking.
UKNOWN
숨 (Breathing) is such a beautiful ballad, Renjun's intro to this song will always get me. So when I got to see them perform it live, I had to make sure I recorded the start. This is definitely a song that makes me stop, listen and take it all in.

This album is definitely one of my favourite's from NCT Dream and it was also one of my favourite albums for 2024. Each track could be a stand alone title track.
I never make it a secret that while I love the whole of NCT and it's units, for me I've always leaned more towards Dream as my favourites.
I always look forward to their comebacks, seeing them live finally after being a fan since their debut, was emotional, while I kept my composure during the show, I did nearly break while Graduation played. They've all come such a long way. I was insanely happy to know Renjun was back for the Europe tour, but watching him in London made me wonder if he was really ready to be back. I hope he's doing even better and continues to keep himself healthy, for me Dream will always be 7.
