As you can see I have the UK HMV exclusive, and of course I went with the Hongjoong version. I love the photobook, the pictures are really nice. This is the first time I've purchased a poca version of any album, and I bought it back in January in Manchester at an ATEEZ event. The QR card takes you to all the digital content as well as the album, but if you haven't you will need the app to gain access, which the user guide explains what and how to download and create an account if you need to.
The album itself to me screams ATEEZ, each track is different but gives off a similar vibe that connects all the tracks together, especially when it comes to their albums concept for the title track.
Deep Dive is the perfect opening track. I love the melody as well as the vocals and raps. No matter the track, I've noticed, ATEEZ always create melodies that fit each members vocal tones.
Deep Dive
I love the melody for Scene 1: Value and I love how it perfectly leads into the next track.
Scene 1: Value
Back in January I had a love/hate relationship with Ice On My Teeth, because no matter where we went because ATEEZ were in town this song played in every shop. So I had it continuously stuck in my head. Which my friends loved because just as soon as I'd stop singing it, it would play again. Now this song takes me back to that moment, even while still haunting me no matter what I put on. I love how chill the melody and song actually is. Whenever I listen to this song, I just get goosebumps, and while I was gutted that Turbulence was removed from their tour setlist to add Ice On My Teeth, it takes me right back to watching them on stage.
Ice On My Teeth
For me Man On Fire is a new sound for ATEEZ, but it still has that ATEEZ vibe. I absolutely love the chorus, I think it's really catchy.
Man On Fire
Selfish Waltz is definitely one of my favourite b-sides on this album. I absolutely love the melody and their voices within this song. For me I definitely think this song was made perfectly for Yeosang's vocal tone, there's something about his parts. They all blend perfectly with is track.
Selfish Waltz
Another of my favourite b-sides is Enough. This song is stunning, I love the melody and I absolutely love their vocals and raps. No matter the style of song, you can see that they vocally well suited as a group and this is a song that definitely shows that. I love that it's mainly in English with Korean thrown in, it makes me feel like its about ATEEZ and ATINY.
Enough
As you may have guessed from mentions in this post, I got to go see them perform in Manchester back in January and they're definitely the best concert I've been to so far and that's because it wasn't like any other concert I'd been to. Rather than it being a musical concert, I felt like I had gone to watch a show. From start to finish they were amazing, and I definitely made sure I made an effort and I was dressed as their Hala Hala era.
I can't wait to see what they're going to bring us next.
