I have Yeonjun's Gravity version. It's rare that I pull anything Yeonjun related, so I was extremely happy to pull his album. The layout of the Gravity version is pretty basic and simple, and I love that the photobook seems to have a space style concept. it's really pretty.
The album itself is amazing, each track shows us a new side to Tomorrow X Together, it's definitely my favourite album of their so far.

I absolutely love Growing Pain, it's definitely one of my favourite tracks on the album. I love the rock sound and vibe and I've loved this song since the first listen. It blew me away. This is one of those songs that shows how versatile Tomorrow X Together is.
Growing Pain

Chasing That feeling is such an addictive song I love the melody, as well as the vocals. It's one of those songs that you can't help but sing along to.
Chasing That Felling

I love Back For More (TXT Ver.), for me this is the type of track I'd thought I'd hear on UK radio, but I don't think it did as well in the UK as it did in America. Which for me shows that the UK isn't still as accepting to K-pop as other countries.
Back For More (TXT Ver.)

Dreamer gives me fantasy vibes, their vocals with the melody is stunning. It's one of those songs that makes you stop and listen.
Dreamer

For me Deep Down sounds like something we've never had from Tomorrow X Together. While it doesn't seem to have that TXT vibe, I love it. Their vocal tones match perfectly with the melody.
Deep Down

I love how upbeat Happily Ever After is, it gives of a childlike and youthful vibe. Showing that while for me TXT excel at their darker concepts, they're still able to pull off tracks like this. For me it shows that no matter your age, you can show off your youthful side.
Happily Ever After

Vocally for me 물수제비 (Skipping Stones) is the best track on this album, each of them blew me away with their voices, especially for me Yeonjun. For me this song was created for Yeonjun and I want to hear more of him like this. It also gives me DAY6 vibes. If I was going to play TXT song to someone to show off how talented they are, it would be this one. No matter how many times I listen to this song it still takes my breath away and leaves me in awe of them.
물수제비 (Skipping Stones)

I love Huening Kai's voice as he opens up Blue Spring. This song gives me TXT vibes and I feel this was definitely made for Huening Kai's voice, his vocal tone matches the melody perfectly.
Blue Spring

Do It Like That (With Jonas Brothers) is one of those songs that you can't help but sing along to. It's such a short but catchy track.
Do It Like That (With Jonas Brothers)

I can honestly say I've listened to the original release more than I have Chasing That Feeling (English Ver.). That's also with mainly listening to it through streaming service.
Chasing That Feeling (English Ver.) *Digital only*

This is definitely Tomorrow X Togethers best album so far, and definitely my favourite album of theirs so far. With each album they take it to the next level for me and never fail to surprise me.
I can't wait to see what they bring us with their next comeback.

Nightmare Ver.



























































Lullaby Ver. (Soobin)
















I love the layout of both versions of the album I have, it's really simple and really pretty.
I love the pages for the photo book for the Nightmare versions, they're really glossy and pretty, making the images pop even more, it reminds me of their WORLD version of The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE.
When it comes to TXT, I tend to be Beomgyu and Huening Kai cursed as they're the members I usually pull with the random stuff, but I was insanely happy when I opened my Lullaby album and came face to face with Soobin, he was my first bias when I came across txt (it was the smile). His photo book is stunning and even though the colours used look dark and dim, it actually gives off a feeling of warmth.
The album itself is as usual amazing, for me it takes TXT to a whole other level, showing that their versatility is in no shape of form slowing down or changing. I feel that TXT make their own rules, and I love watching them bring something new each time.

I get Billie Eilish vibes from Devil by the Window, I've been in love with this song since I've heard it. I love the melody and vocals, it gives of such a sultry and mature vibe. I'd love to hear TXT do more songs like this one.
Devil by the Window

Sugar Rush Ride makes me think of Blue Hour with how upbeat it is, but it's Blue Hour on a whole other level. There's something about TXT'S title tracks that each time they release a new one it become my favourite. For my this is on par with Can't You See Me. I love the melody and the vocals.
Sugar Rush Ride

Happy Fools Feat. Coi Leray is such a cute song, it's once of those songs that sucks you in and has you singing along, it's super catchy.
Happy Fools Feat. Coi Leray

If there's one song from this album that I desperately want to see live it's Tinnitus (돌멩이가 되고 싶어 (Wanna Be A Rock)). I love everything about this song and have done since my first listen. Their vocals fit the tempo perfectly. I definitely think this is a favourite amongst the MOA's.
Tinnitus (돌멩이가 되고 싶어 (Wanna Be A Rock))

I absolutely adore 네버랜드를 떠나며 (Farewell, Neverland), their voices in this song are just stunning, I could listen to it all day.
네버랜드를 떠나며 (Farewell, Neverland)

With each album Tomorrow X Together sail to new heights and get better with each album, for now this is by far my favourite release from them, but that could soon change when they release their next album.
They're currently on tour again and I can only hope that the UK is one of their stops.
