Track List
Intro: This My Fashion
OOTD
Rising
Shatter
We Are Young




























I have the U version, I love that that the album is glossy and I love the photobook, but I think they could have designed a little better as the pages became loose very fast. The photobook is stunning, the styling and the setting are perfect.
The album itself is an amazing album, as expected from Dreamcatcher, they know how create an album that flows perfectly.

I love Intro: This My Fashion, the melody screams dreamcatcher and it slips perfectly into the next track. It definitely sets the mood for the album.
Intro: This My Fashion
Owned by Dreamcatcher Company

We normally get really rocky songs as their title tracks and the fact that OOTD isn't their typical title track makes me love it even more. For Dreamcatcher, this is a more laid back track, but still holds their usual punch and pulls you in. I only have to see the songs name and I'm singing the song.
OOTD

The intro to Rising really reminds of another song, but I can't quite put my finger on it. This track is the usual rocky track we get from them and that it follows on from OOTD is perfect. Their vocals in this track is perfect, they always show how versatile they are both as a group and with their individual vocals.
Rising

I love the melody for Shatter and I love how it changes throughout the verses and choruses. The softness in the verses and choruses to fit the melody is perfect and the harmonisation is stunning. The abrupt end to the song is perfect and fits with the lyrics perfectly.
Shatter

I absolutely love We Are Young, This track concludes the album perfectly. It really shows how versatile they are. I thought this was going to be ballad when I first listened to this song, but the change up at the chorus really threw me an I loved it.
We Are Young

Personally for me, this is Dreamcatcher's best album so far, musically and vocally. Dreamcatcher are one of those groups that really stop me in my tracks when I listen to their music. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I always find it hard to get into girl groups. But Dreamcatcher have had me hooked since I saw them promoting Good Night. Soon as I see that first teaser image signalling their return, I'm excited about what they will bring us next.

I'm not a big fan of the packaging for the Dystopia series, but thankfully the photo book and the album itself make up for that, I will give it to them though for sticking to one album layout for each of their series' though.
I have the A Version and I don't think the camera on my phone does the photo book justice, the colours are really pretty and I love the over-exposure on the photo's, I love the styling for this version too, especially for the 2nd part of the photo book, I especially love Siyeon's styling she seems to have a Hollywood glam look and it really suits her.
The songs on the album are amazing as expected from Dreamcatcher, yet again it shows how versatile they are, and like always each track is different from the last and the album as a whole blew me away yet again.

I love that Dreamcatcher's albums always have an Intro and Road to Utopia is no different.
Intro

I love all the transitions in Odd Eye, I love that while trying to show a new side to themselves they still keep their signature Dreamcatcher sound. I love the melody and I absolutely adore the vocals, just from the start of the track you know it's going to have an impact.
Odd Eye

바람아 (Wind Blows) is a track I'd expect to be on Dreamcatcher's album and it gives me slight anime vibes, it sounds such an upbeat song that you can't help but fall in love with it.
바람아 (Wind Blows)

Dreamcatcher's albums always have that one song that as soon as I hear it I fall in love with it, and Poison Love is that song for me, I just can't get enough of this song. I love the melody, the vocals, the rap and especially the chorus.
Poison Love

What I love about Dreamcatcher is that they're the girl group with the rock sound, but not everyone knows how versatile they actually are and 4 memory shows that there is more than meets the eye. I love the melody for this track, this track to me also sounds so uplifting.
4 Memory

시간의 틈 (New Days) gives me strong anime vibes all throughout the song and it's another track that I fell in love with on first listen it reminds me of their song Over the Sky, the vocals from start to finish are amazing and shows me all over again why I love and adore this group as much as I do.
시간의 틈 (New Days)

I love that they always include an instrumental of their title tracks as it shows that even without their vocals the track is amazing, adding their vocals gives the track so much more power and allows it to pack a punch.
Odd Eye Inst.

With this album we finally saw the return of Handong, she was definitely missed from their past 2 releases and I'm glad she's finally back and Dreamcatcher are a complete team again, I'm always excited for their return, and I can only hope that they finally get their 1st music show win.
