This album is a bop! Overall, it is more rap-centered, but there are still a few different genres. Mafia In the Morning has a slightly different concept from Itzy's previous title tracks, but I know Itzy to be pretty experimental anyways. In my opinion, the title track isn't my personal favorite and is not the most unique, compared to some of the other ones like Wannabe and Not Shy. I don't know if it's just me, but MITM didn't really stick to my head that well at first and sounded strange, but only after listening to it a few more times, my ears eventually got used to it. However, some of their other songs (let's take Not Shy) were very catchy, even at first listen, and the song had a nice balance of vocals and rap. Now for the b-sides; my favorite is Tennis because of the Mamamoo and slight Twice b-side vibes. I definitely think that they should have put Wild Wild West in the Not Shy album because of its similar atmosphere. Anyway, to sum it up, Guess Who is a nice album; worth the listen!

Flawless. ITZY has improved a lot in their songs this time (both title track and b-sides). A few months ago before this comeback, I listened to a couple of songs in their previous albums. However, the style didn't really appeal to me. But in this comeback, ITZY really got to show off their vocal skills. Also, Lia really shined in all of the songs in the album; she got to use her vocal skills a lot this time, and could sing in her vocal range as well. This album is, in my opinion, ITZY's best one yet.

I was really excited for TWICE's new comeback, More & More. When I first watched the teasers and the dance break, I loved the melody and all the members' outfits, the animals, everything. Then, I watched the music video a few hours after it came out, and I loved everything about it. Their visuals, their voices, the rap, the backdrop. Great songs in the album, too, but my favorite is Oxygen.
