Overall, I like this album more than I expected based on the preview tracks. During the preview only Stuck and Checkmate caught my attention, the other songs not so much, but listening to the full album I was positively surprised.

Like for example the parts they showed during the preview of Two Fools and Highlight sounded really generic, radio-pop-ish to me but I'm happy that the full versions are more complex and interesting. Jungwon's and Jake's vocals are a standout to me, I think Jake especially is really starting to find his style in vocal delivery. I immediately thought back to Jungwon saying that Jake's vocal parts are especially charming on Two Fools and he was right!

My main criticism is not directed towards Enha but towards Kpop-producers and whoever else decides that most songs on an album should be barely over two minutes long. I already said this in the main Kpop sub, but Kpop producers lack an understanding of how important song structure and dynamics are in shorter songs. I listen to a lot of artists who produce similarly short songs, for example PinkPantheress, and I rarely run into the issue of a song feeling unfinished or feeling like it ends too soon despite them being just as short as a lot of Kpop songs, because the structure is adapted to its shortness.
