I'm late to this but thank you for reacting!!!! Sadly this will be the last OT9 album for a while and they just hit us with amazing song after amazing song. I proud of them even with the limited promotion were able to keep rising up in sales and getting a music show win.

Definitely one of their best releases yet, and it really highlighted their growth from Kingdom much better than Turnover. (again, probably because Turnover was before the show) My top 3 is pretty similar to your list, because number 1 is just THAT SONG. Every time the chorus hits it feels like you're ascending lol. Listening to this entire album was a rollercoaster of emotions, literally, when you put Gentleman, On and On, Scenario, and For Fantasy right after one another kfjlfkj Memory was done by Tha Aristocrats, and was actually completed last year alongside Good Guy but they kept it for a future album instead~ I know they also worked on previous SF9 songs like RPM and Love No.5, plus stuff for EXO, WOODZ, and P1H. In Dreamer and Trauma, the stuttery rap flow you pointed out was Zuho the main rapper (and sometimes producer, he produced For Fantasy in this album)! He also likes to reference old lyrics he's made, like "male version of Venus" from their Move cover on Kingdom. On and On is actually a unit song by the two oldest members, Inseong and Youngbin, who were born in 1993. Since FNC seems to be (sadly) focusing on promoting SF9 more as actors rather than as a group, and promotions for this album were almost non-existent, it's been speculated that this will be the last OT9 release for awhile since 93-line will need to enlist by next year and the gap in their ages is a bit big (Chani as the maknae was born in 2000). The vocal you pointed out in For Fantasy was Rowoon~ His voice is just made for ballads, it's so soothing and warm, and he actually got his first solo OST around the same time the album was released! It's called No Goodbye in Love, and it was for his drama The King's Affection where a woman has to assume her twin brother's identity as the crown prince, but is at risk of being discovered by her royal tutor slash first love. All in all, I agree with this being a dramatic release, and I honestly love them more for it. This album in particular brings a lot of mixed emotions for me, but I'm really really glad they were able to break their previous records and grab a music show win with Trauma. This turned really long π anyway, thank you so much for checking this out!
