I love this! I have never got into Gfriend but this is gorgeous.
It’s so nostalgic and sounds like the Jpop/anime soundtracks of my youth.
Every track is 👌

Eye of the Storm is my favourite track though

i love everything about this. the apple stage is amazing and they obviously love it, I haven't seen Eunha this enthusiastic in a while, she's nailing it.

my favourite songs are apple, eye of the storm, room full of mirrors (that's my favourite one!) and stairs in the north. it's a great album.

Stairs in the North hit me directly in the heart

i need to dedicate time to listen to the album. I've heard it sounds strong. The highlight medley was lovely so I just need to listen through.

My favorite EP of theirs. I love every song on this album. My favorites would have to be Crème Brûlée and Room of Mirrors.

Most of the album sounds like very good anime music. 10/10, wouldn't skip the intro.

I like Creme Brulee the best, but I wish the rap (?) parts were less cutesy on the vocal.

eye of the storm, room of mirrors, and crème brûlée are my favorites. :')

I like Tarot Cards best. It's like an anime OST about magical tarot cards, so basically Cardcaptor Sakura lol.

Crème Brûlée sounds like it would annoy me if it was done by a hiphop-y boy group.

ia! it gave me huge CCS vibes!

Stairs in the North is amazing, omg??? Why is this making me so emotional

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a Gfriend release this much, from start to finish! It's their sound still but developed and thus sounding fresh. I love Apple, Eye of the Storm (those 8bit and drum and bass touches are a+) and Creme Brulee most.

"Crème brulée" was robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't mind "Apple" but I dont like the BTSification it implies

"Eye of the Storm", "room full of mirrors" & "Tarot cards" are such anime opening/ending

[victorrules.livejournal.com]

So many strong tracks here! I really like Eye of the Storm and Creme Brulee.

This is their best EP tbh, coming from a LOL enthusiast this is huge lmao

Not one bad song! Room of Mirrors is my ult but I adore Tarrort Cards too!

Ooh, i love SOTS but I personally wouldn’t go that far lol. This EP overall is suuuper solid but I still think Labyrinth was their most cohesive yet, while my favourites are still Sunny Summer and The Awakening.

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

wait, really?? I mean I loved Labyrinth (Eclipse is my favourite song of them) but I just feel like ALL the songs in SOTS are so good, not a single skip song. While I really like their old stuff, like Seasons of Glass (Neverland is just a masterpiece), I do find SOTS to be more diverse.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

It comes down to personal preference obviously! But yeah, I think Labyrinth as a whole is stronger. Stairs in the North is the only track from SOTS that I’m meh about which bumps down its standing imo, whereas every b-side on Labyrinth is stellar. The ballads have so much impact.

I love the album, i think its my favorite of theirs!!! There is definitely a shift towards a more mature sound, even in their voices i wanna say. Im digging it a lot. Apple sounds so much better on spotify, or maybe its because i wasn't distracted by the mv.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I ADORE Creme brûlée, Room of Mirrors, and Tarot Cards. Creme brûlée especially has been on repeat. Stairs in the North is a nice enough ballad but I could take it or leave it tbh.

Overall, this was a great EP showcasing their growth as artists! I’m so proud.
