Spring Snow
I have the Moon version and I absolutely love the layout of the album. I love how the album cover gives off a satin feel making it feel like a special edition book. I love the photobook, the pictures are stunning and I love the styling on each of the members. The black & white styling really worked against the backdrops. It really added to the high-end feel of the album.
The album itself really showed of THE BOYZ' style and vibe while giving us something new and showcasing how versatile they are.
I love how abrupt Ego starts, I remember when I first listened to the album it made me jump. I love the melody of the song as well as how it had a dark vibe and sound. I love how their vocal tones fit perfectly within the song. This is definitely one of my favourite songs on the album.
Ego
REVEAL is definitely one of my favourite title tracks from THE BOYZ. I love the melody, the raps and the vocals. I especially love the raps towards the end of the song. This song definitely allowed Sunwoo and Eric to shine. Each member really stands out and showcases their vocal talents. Seeing this live put my love for this track an a whole new level. This was also my first comeback as a fully fledged Deobi, so whenever I listen to it, I get goosebumps.
REVEAL
For me Shake You Down has that THE BOYZ vibe. The blend of the melody and their vocals is perfect. This also remind me of another track of theirs but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Shake You Down
흔적 (Scar) is a unit song with Juyeon, Q, Haknyeon, Sunwoo and Eric and this song fits them perfectly. THE BOYZ are amazing pulling off dark and sultry vibes but for me these are the members that really stand out within these concepts. The song is stunning and fits their voices and vocal tones perfectly. This song was really made for them to perform.
흔적 (Scar)
Whenever I see song titled Salty, or just see this songs name, my brain automatically starts singing this song. I love the melody and how they harmonize with it. I love their vocals, they all harmonise and blend well together.
Salty
환상고백 (Break Your Rules) is another of my favourite tracks on the album. I love the melody as well as their vocals. It's such a chilled mid-tempo track and I love it. It's definitely a song you can sit outside and enjoy just chilling in the garden in the summer.
환상고백 (Break Your Rules)
胡蝶夢 (Wings) is such a pretty song, that allows them to shine vocally. The melody may seem quiet and simple, but the way they blend their vocals to it makes it sound so stunning and makes it sound so much more than if you were just listening to the instrumental.
胡蝶夢 (Wings)
시간의 숲 (Goodbye) is a stunning ballad and another unit track sung by Sangyeon, Kevin, Jacob, New, Hyunjae and Younghoon. For me Sangyeon and New are the vocal powerhouses for THE BOYZ, but this song for me doesn't make them the main vocalisis and they all stand out vocally and shine in their own right.
시간의 숲 (Goodbye)
Spring Snow is a stunning ballad sung by all the members and shows that they're all have amazing vocals. Even the raps fit perfectly into this song. For me it's songs like this that really show how talented they are as a group as well as members. They're really a talented group.
Spring Snow
For me this album really flows well together and shows off how versatile and talented they are.
Sadly though I'm not going to miss Ju Haknyeon's voice as he's no longer a member. While I won't go into the details of him leaving, unless evidence is given, I definitely feel their company wanted a reason to remove him. I will continue to follow and love the group and I understand they'll keep silent on everything but I think if I ever saw or heard them say anything against him, I'd lose a bit of respect for them. Especially when in my eye's he's not done anything wrong.
That being said, I'm excited to see what their next comeback will be and if it will be the same as other groups for me after a member has left.
