BACK TO STRANGERS
Back To Strangers is the shortest song on the album, but its brevity actually works. I’m not mad at an album ending on a softer, shorter note. It’s almost like the credits at the end of a movie. Of course, that analogy makes it sound like listeners might be leaving as this song plays and I don’t think that’s the case at all.
This is No Tragedy‘s only ballad and rather than the sentimental fan-song style TWS usually delivers with their ballads this one carries more pathos. Its soft, rock-adjacent soundscape is extremely reminiscent of early TXT, which is a great sandbox for TWS to play around in. The instrumental has a hazy appeal that’s well-textured rather than dull. The chorus is similarly evocative, boasting a nice range of melodies that take advantage of the group’s falsetto. Sure, it could’ve used a bridge to flesh things out further, but this is the rare track that functions fine without it. The incompleteness feels like a function rather than a bug, ending the album on a somewhat ambiguous note.

instant favorite. in my mind this would’ve been a great pre-release if companies weren’t afraid of doing slower singles like 2nd gen did

An AOTY for me. All the songs in the album are soo good, so well thought. It begins with ‘All The Possibilities’ and ends with ‘Back To Strangers’. How often an album can tell you a storyline from start to finish like this? 9/10 album for me.

On another note, this album shows how much TWS has grown. They also have contributed more to the song making as well. 2/3 of the members wrote 1-2 lyrics for this album . The least used member, Hanjin, also getting more lines , proving to outsider what they might have missed. This is such a significant growth.

I usually skip the ending because I personally don’t like how kpop albums often ends with a ballad. I love how TWS approaches a ballad song. It’s so well thought out and it shows of their vocals very well. They all sound so breezy. I love it.❤️🔥
