    TWICE manages to create a cohesive album out of different song genres. The brand is still very "TWICE-pop" albeit with more mature tunes and creative storytelling. This album is their best one, yet.

Scientist is a mellow but addictive tune that makes you bounce in your seat, Moonlight, F.I.L.A, and Cruel have a dance-y, 70s/80s, nostalgia style pop that reminds of Carly Rae Jepsen or Dua Lipa, Icon is a perfect hype song (I listened toThis album has everything.

    When positioned against their previous releases, ‘Formula Of Love: O+T=˂3’ paints a picture of a masterful act, one who has learned to wield their talent and concept into one cohesive banger after another. TWICE give us “the feels”, and we’re just here to enjoy the ride.

    Wooow, I don't know what to say about this album although I can summarize it in one word: Perfect.
    Let's start with the Title Track "Scientist", at the beginning it starts with some very good bass tones from Mina, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung but then they surprise us with the chorus that shows in all its splendor the essence of Twice, "Love is not a science" is something that is maintained    Wooow, I don't know what to say about this album although I can summarize it in one word: Perfect.
    Let's start with the Title Track "Scientist", at the beginning it starts with some very good bass tones from Mina, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung but then they surprise us with the chorus that shows in all its splendor the essence of Twice, "Love is not a science" is something that is maintained throughout the song, it is constantly demonstrated and the viewer leaves us amazed.
    Let's continue with Moonlight, it is one of their first songs in English and boy is everything just right, the pronunciation, the melody, the chorus, everything, this song literally invites you to dance under the moonlight with the one you love.
    Icon is the next song on the playlist, it is also in English and completely changes the melody from the previous song, it is very catchy, it has a perfect rap, the pronunciations are right and finally there is the iconic line: "Damn, i got it, i'm iconic", being the first time that Twice "Insults" in a song and it comes out wonderful.
    If we continue the playlist we get to Cruel, song written by Dahyun and that as its name says, shows that a person can be cruel as a method of revenge, the bass in this song are a love letter to the music.
    We get to Real You, a song that was written by leader Jihyo where she teaches you to be yourself and not show a false appearance to others.
    We move forward and we can listen to F.I.L.A, song written by Nayeon and that shows us a rhythm that has not been played before in this album, the melody and lyrics take you straight to a 70's roller rink, a beautiful retro rhythm.
    We get to Last Waltz, many thought it would be a more melancholic song but oh what a surprise we get, it's a more sensual tune, commanding, strong and the glass breaking gives it a special touch.
    We move on to Espresso, this song has a rhythm with more lows but also with considerable highs as Nayeon, whose voice gives a lot of essence to the song.
    We move on to Rewind, this song is more relaxed than the previous ones, it can transport you to a snowy day where you remember all the actions you did in the past and with that you can keep thinking about the future.
    We arrive to Cactus, song written and composed by Jihyo that tells us about his deceased cactus named Angie and his point of view regarding life, it has melodies like a rock song but without removing the sad escence that he wants to transmit, especially with the lines: "Oh Save Me!"
    We come to the subunits, being the first time they sing with this method officially, starting with Push & Pull sung by Sana, Jihyo and Dahyun, the R&B Soul rhythm plus the rap of Sana and Jihyo together with the highs of Dahyun make this song ideal to dance to.
    The second song sung as a subunit is Hello, sung by Nayeon, Momo and Chaeyoung, this song COMPLETELY changes the rhythm that all the songs in this album had, reaching a perfectly achieved hip hop, showing that these three members are capable of anything.
    The last song by subunit is 1, 3, 2, sung by Jeongyeon, Mina and Tzuyu, this song has a more Latin rhythm with a somewhat melancholic mix, added to the highs that the three members do make it simply perfect in all aspects.
    Finally we come to Candy, a song that is also in English and was dedicated to the international ONCE fandom, this song is very calm, with the lyrics "Candy sugar so sweet" they make it clear that they see us as a sweet company and that they love us all equally.

    All in all this album is perfect by any standards and without any doubt deserves the rating received, Twice has released another work of art as always.    … Expand

    Formula of Love surpasses expectations, infusing the group's love-centric lyricism with newfound confidence and creative flair. This is one of Twice's most assertive and varied releases to date -- and with a more concise track listing, perhaps their best.

    Formula of Love could have been trimmed to 10 strong cuts and I am sure it would have been one of the tightest Kpop albums in recent years. It’s easy to dismiss it due to the genre it represents, but there was considerable effort put into most of these songs, so it’s worth some listens.
