I am not the biggest fan of the K-pop industry, but I have to admit that this was a big surprise at the time.rFrom the first theme to the last, it is shown as a mix between conventional pop in the South Korean world and electronic tweaks that are closer to the trap and modern house, as well as samples of musical experimentation (within the limitations of its style and closed public) in songs like Going Crazy or Forever.rOn the other hand it feels like a maelstrom of good ideas, sometimes well executed and sometimes simply unconnected, which makes it a strange album that can feel disconnected among many songs (not to mention an unnecessary ballad).rDespite this, it is one of EXO's best attempts (or SM and all its roster) to explore less conventional terrain for what is a boy band (more R&B than Trap). A good album with it's obvious mistakes.
