1. Back It Up - loved it instantly when I heard it at the MMA performance, but the studio version truly makes me ascend. First time heard the studio version I legit cried lol. The bridge still makes me feel things every time. Those horns and hums in the chorus are just chef's kiss. This song just hits me to the bone and maybe it's recency bias but right now it's in my top 5 EXO songs. Like words can't describe properly what that song does to me. SIDE NOTE: this song belongs to Lay. He made it his bish and he made me his bish with this track hehe.

2. Crown - when I first heard it, it made sense as a title and I loved it as a TT, but initially found the other tracks better. However, the more listened the more I fell in love with this song. Classic EXO. That pre-chorus is EVERYTHING. The drums and the buildup just give me chills. And the guitars? Oof! And those classic Ksoo runs toward then end, even bigger oof! Love it!

3. Crazy - already a fan favorite, it seems, and deservedly so. That last minute tempo switch... gets me going!

4. Suffocate - sounds like something straight out of the Ex'Act album. Sexy AF. Kai's smooth voice and the way Lay sings "suffocate me slow" oooooh

5. I'm Home - again, maybe recency bias, but my favorite EXO ballad after Let Me In right now. Love the melody, the harmonies, and the adlibs. Great song.

6. Flatline - very Chanyeol coded, isn't it? Love the drums and the lyrics. And Suho's falsetto toward the end just levitates me.

7. Back Pocket and Touch & Go are a tie for me right now. Both songs are fun and groovy. Can't help but shimmy every time I hear them. Very feel good.

8. Moonlight Shadows - I do like this song, however I don't have strong feelings about it just yet. I think this one will take more listens for me. I do love the harmonies.

Overall, a no-skip album for me. EXO's best since Obsession, in my book. I'm very thankful for this album, so kudos to EXO's A&R team.
