gaslighting

I love that Instinct Part. 2 has kept a similar concept to Part. 1, even with the photobook, they have individual shoots and then have 2 members together, before a few group shots. I love the styling, even with the backdrops, it makes the styling and the members really stand out.
The album itself is the same as Part. 1, in that we have sung tracks and instrumentals between.
The album opens up with under the ____, which I think leads perfectly into the next track.
under the ____
I remember when skinz first came out, I felt that it left me feeling a little underwhelmed because I'd been soo obsessed with libidO. But the more I listened to it the more I fell in love with it. The melody and the vocals make this song sound so sensual. I only have to read the track name and the melody is in my head.
skinz
I love the melody for la nausee, the piano is stunning against the rest of the instrumental.
la nausee
I love the melody for suit dance, I especially love the opening melody, which we hear again in the chorus. For me the melody is really catchy which makes me love the whole song. Their vocal tones against the melody is perfection.
suit dance
I love how much darker gaslighting sounds to the previous tracks, while the other tracks have a sensual sound to them, they change it up for this track. which give the song a more serious feel and vibe. This is definitely one of my favourite B-sides on the album.
gaslighting
snapchat gives me a lullaby feel, which lightens the vibe after the previous track, but as the melody drops, it changes up the whole vibe of the track.

ultimate bliss definitely gives off a sensual sound, I love the melody and their vocals. This is definitely another of my favourites on this album. It connects perfectly to the previous track. I definitelt think with the title and lyrics, there's some innuendo's in there.
ultimate bliss
I love undergOund idOl #0. I love the melody and I love how different it sounds from the rest of the album. It's like they were teasing what was to come next.
undergOund idOl #0
As obsessed I am with libidO, for me, re-bidO seems to go harder and I would love to see them do this version live. They really missed out not having this song available to stream.
re-bidO
It's a shame that to hear the whole album you need a physical copy, as I think people really miss out on how unique OnlyOneOf are. Their Instinct albums really tell a story.
While I would still class myself as a casual listener, I do always look forward to new releases from them. I feel like it's how unique they are with having a BL vibe that allows groups like XLOV to be true to themselves and have unique and risky concepts, especially in K-pop.
Were you a fan of Instinct Part. 2?
Do you have a physical copy?
