It's really a pity that you're the only one recognising Cya, at least from the reactions that I saw... On top of Cya's involvement in Zombie, Kanghyun also participated in this album as the guitarist behind Twinkle and So Why. ONEWE and RB-INJ (string session) are honestly RBW's secret weapons!! Btw, I already gave up on choosing a favourite on like the 2nd listen...

I loved the album! My ranking is 1. Zombie 2. Cast Pearls Before Swine 3. Twinkle 4. So Why 5. Zzzz 6. 2 AM. Personally for me, I think those top 4 songs are perfect and amazing. I do really like Zzzz and 2 AM, but for me they were not on the same level as the other 4, but still very very good. Overall, I think this was a better album than Into Violet. Zombie is a much better title track than Ponzona, and one of the best songs of the year imo. I also think for the most part the bsides are better on Hide and Seek as well. The one place I think Into Violet has it beat is with the slower songs, 2 AM and Zzzz dont even come close to the masterpiece of Can We Talk Again. Both are very good albums though and I'm really impressed with Purple Kiss. I think Pixy still has them beat as my ROTY, but PK is a very close 2nd.

This album is just incredible. I've listened 5 times today, and I feel like it just gets better each time.

This is definitely a much more cohesive listen start to finish than Into Violet, I agree with Martin. Zombie just gets catchier and catchier the more I listen to it, but I worry that some folks might just do a one and done on it and not revisit it, thankfully the video is rewatchable! Really really love Cast Pearls Before Swine --- could have been the video track honestly.

While every song on Into Violet was really good they were different moods. I would say to myself I want to hear My Heart Skip a Beat or I would want to hear Period. And I had preferences. Hide and Seek I can't pick among them and they somehow seem more like a single symphony with different movements. I like it so much.

Nice was waiting all day for this lets gooo

Such a solid album!! Kanghyun is listed in the credits for the album for playing the guitar and weves are fairly confident that he's the one behind the guitar riffs in twinkle.
