Ugh I cannot WAIT to listen to this entire thing, but as it is 4am, I'm probably just going to end up falling asleep while playing it~
I am still disappointed that Taka isn't actually singing in Primavera, but that they collaborated on it makes me so happy, because they're such good friends.

I mean come on...

To The Light - great as always, fave Jaejin song + singing as of late
Primavera - not their most creative song but it's grown on me lots and Hongki's vocals get to me
Orange Days - good and lively, I really like it! My fave non-self-composed track on this album.
Yes or No - not feeling the chorus but everything else is solid, nothing memorable but not bad. Lyrics seem good from my terrible non-fluent ears, kudos Seunghyun/Kenn.
Tornado - still impressed by this one, one of their more gritty stuff?? Plus the instrumental sounds so powerful from the drums to the bass, props. And dat Jonghun solo *_*
Crying In The Rain - love. Thanks again corin!!
Moonlight - okay chorus and nice singing, otherwise forgettable.
Daydreamer - okay but weak for Jonghun's standards? Rather fillery.
Hourglass - English lines a little laughable but otherwise i quite like. Okay I really dig this Mothball dude a lot. And dang the drums.
My Birthday - definitely the superior Taka collab to me (even if he's yet again not singing in this one). Beautiful instrumental and another good job from Hongki, my fave self-composed song.
Fish (acoustic) - THERE BETTER BE A LIVE OF THIS. Their acoustics are always a delight especially the guitars which are just heaven. It compliments the 3 vocals even more.

Overall not a mindblowing album, probably ranks low in my JP ranking (which doesn't say much because I adore most of their JP albums), but still solid. I feel bad that I complained about the decrease of self-produced songs since I ended up liking corin/mothball's songs more than the members' this time around haha, thank goodness for the Taka collabs though because they're great. Can't wait to read translations so I can understand the lyrics better.

'To the light' and 'Fish' have been long time favourites.

After listening to the album once, I think I liked 'Crying in the rain' and 'Hourglass' the most out of the new releases.

i like Crying in The Rain a lot <3
while i listening to My Birthday i can't help to think either Hongki or Taka got dumped on their birthday and that thought make me lol so hard.
