Honestly whoever is behind The Guardian and Q Magazine are just haters, this is a total classic, it's not a messy album if you get the concept of Daydream and what she wants to portrait with her songs, even for the time being this is a good solid album.
I wouldn’t call this EPOTY, it’s cute as far as easy and predictable to listen.
However I really believe he can work further with songs like L.I.L.Y and There She Goes, maybe by the time he grows as an artist he can do better.
I might be a little bit too kind with this score but overall it’s a good album to hear from beginning to end, some songs are forgettable and others are weirdly composed but in a good way.

I really expected something else by the genres but it’s actually really good, first time hearing Shoegazer!
Pushing more than their usual sound, clearly on the spiritual realm in some of the songs.
I feel like April really projects her love to music so well, it's a fun, fulfilling, sensible album.
Lacks character, for their first full album it's a bit disappointing, although all songs are ok to good, only two of ten were memorable enough.
However, I don't blame the group for this album, this is totally on the company's fault, hurrying this album just to make money shows where its lacking.
It’s evident that a lot of people worked on this album, some songs feel like a electro pop vanillaswift, some others are interesting enough to listen more than once and others feel like an endless scroll through tiktok, like listening to everything but nothing at the same time. However I feel like it lacks identity.
Not bad, had cero expectations too.

I don't know who put "Roll" on the album but what a horrible song, if it wasn't for that it'll put it on a better score, cringe lyrics, horrible production, please retire whoever decided to make these poor girls record that.
Overall a 73.81/100 closing on 74.

This IS one of the BEST constructed albums of the industry TO THIS DAY.
Most of the songs sticks to the concept so damn well, visually, lyrically event to the format that they sell it is one of my favorites because they really sticked to this concept.
Listening to this full album it's a rollercoaster, with fun pop music, some ballads, some sexy songs then back at it again with the fun stuff with 'So Amazing'.
SHINee is THAT group and it'll be THAT group for a while.
This is basically CANCELLED! by TS the album, it's a good production, I saw JPEGMAFIA there and some other names but lyrics and flow can mess a good song so easily and it seems like it happened here.
It took me two listens to this album to fully decide on each rate for each song I REALLY TRIED not to skip songs even though it reminded me to soooooooo many other things like SpongeBob and Taylor's last album, it's just to cringy, lazy and over all it's not even Kpop, for some ... read more
I looved the vibe at the beginning, really j-poppy the rest of the EP gradually descends to a springy vibe overall it's above OK
