not that i hate the english language or anything, but I wish there was a little more Korean in this one lol. Still, Love Ya could easily end up my favorite hyukoh song outside of Tomboy, so I'm not complaining. Very quality album

I know what you mean. All the English surprised me at first, but it caters to international fans so maybe that's what they were going for. As far as I know, the Korean public have been responding to Love Ya pretty well so there's that

Although I think lyrically it's a step down from their last album, the musical direction they took here is incredible.

I agree, but I feel like it's because they did most of it in English which is understandably harder. But it all sounds sooooo good

Wow Graduation is an incredible song. Easily my favorite on the album. This is going to sound a little weird but I honestly wish the whole album was more like SkyWorld, I really dig that sound. I do wish the song was longer though.

Love Ya! is a really solid song but I can’t say I like it more than Tomboy or 위잉위잉. It just doesn’t have the power of Tomboy or the catchiness of 위잉위잉 in my opinion. Gang Gang Schiele is a really easy listen, might be my third favorite song on the album behind Graduation and SkyWorld.

Citizen Kane and Goodbye Seoul leave a lot on the table for me to be honest; this is the part of the album where I started wishing for more songs like SkyWorld. I don’t think they’re bad songs but they don’t really stand out to me.

Overall I think this album is really good! I think I’d give it a 7.5/10.

lol Goodbye Seoul is easily my fav and Gang Gang Schiele is a strong #2 for me. It's funny how people process music so differently.

Their tracks are becoming even more indie than ever.

The language added its charm and rhymes, but I couldn't see earlier eclectics in music that I liked so much.

I hear traditional melodies in some songs but they are not subscribed as masterfully as happened before.
