I know I'm late....Let's get it.
Interesting.
Piano like synth is good. Rap is good. It sounds a bit gothic.

Good song. I like his singing voice, very airy..
But way too short.
Rating :- 8/10
6. Music Box : Reflection
Glockenspiel or Marimba? Okay you got my attention.
Mysterious. Reminds me a bit of Hedwig's theme from Harry Potter.
7. What If
Dem Jointz on this track.... But could've been better.
Rating :- 6.5/10
8. Safety Zone
Mellow hip hop. This can grow on me.... I like it more on consecutive listens.

9. Future
It's alright. I expected it to be a bit anthemic. But it went nowhere.

Conclusion :- Cohesive, Hard-hitting, and great vocal performance from J-Hope. But that's where the good part ends. Individually, these songs fall apart, and are not sonically strong enough to have any individuality. Only Arson and MORE really shows the true power of J-Hope. This album can get a bit monotone-ish from time to time. However, for a debut album, It's pretty good. Congratulations, J-Hope. I am anticipating your next project.
What do you think about this album? Any standout moments?
