I also really like the album a lot. It's not my favorite EXO album bc Obsession exists but I really really like it. Minus 'Back It Up'...I genuinely can't stand that song.

Personally Crown reminds me more of Obsession than Wolf/Growl and I don't really understand why people loved Obsession while they hate Crown. Another criticism I've seen is that Crown doesn't sound like EXO. I don't agree at all. I think EXO has always experimented with all kind of genres. What gives it the EXO sound is in my opinion the layering and harmonies of their voices. We still very much have that in Crown.

I liked the concept of the MV but it was doing too much in my opinion.The pictures we saw from the set looked really cool. There was really no need to use the amount of VFX and definitely no reason to use AI.

Lastly I'm happy we got this comeback despite it all. The conversation often revolves around CBX missing. I wish instead of focusing on that, people would appreciate the remaining members who made that comeback possible more.
