Track List
TRIGGER [導火線]
I have the vanguard version, while I like the layout of the album, it's not the best as the box gets easily squashed as it's pretty empty for what's inside. Especially when you have no way to properly close the album as you have to tear it open.
I love the photobook, I love that the pictures are in black and white as fits with the album versions concept. I love the styling an I love the photobook in general, it really fits with their title tracks concept.
The album itself is really good, each track is different and stands out and continues to show how versatile they are.
I absolutely love Bite Back, I love the melody, the vocals and raps. I'm so glad it was added to their album after they performed it on tour. This song gives me goosebumps and takes me back to their London show. This is definitely a sound a vibe I love from The Boyz.

Parts of the melody for TRIGGER gives me EXO vibes, but for me this is totally has their THE BOYZ vibe. I love how the verses change up from the chorus with how the tempo changes. I don't as the title track is disappointed even if it isn't one of my favourite title tracks of theirs.

I absolutely love bAd, I love the slower tempo of the track, it gives it a bit of a sexy and sensual sound and vibe. It's definitely one of my favourite B-sides from this album. I love how their vocal tones blend with the melody.

With a title like Slip Away, I would think it would have been a ballad, but it gives me more of an R&B vibe. It definitely gives off more of a sultry vibe. I love the melody and how they harmonize through the song. I love the softness to their voices to fit with the melody.
Slip Away
For me Re-Wind has a different sound and vibe to the previous tracks on this album. I love the melody, but for me it's how they sing the song that changes up the vibe.
Re-Wind
I love the melody for They See Me Dream. The intro melody gives off a lullaby/dreamlike sound which I love. I love that as they start singing the melody changes, but we still have that dreamlike vibe. This song is stunning and their vocal tones against the melody is breathtaking.
They See Me Dream
This album really flows well together, and as usual shows how versatile and talented they are as a group.
They've recently released their latest and first album without Ju Haknyeon, and while I'm glad they've broken the curse of me not being a fan of the first album released after a member has left, I do still feel his absence.
