    The album is experimental, heartbreaking, fun, and unlike anything I have ever heard before! It is definitely the group's best release by far!

    I have been following the discography of Tomorrow X Together since their debut and they have always released music that tells the stories of the youth which is probably the reason why I can always resonate to their music. Take for example their debut song which was Crown that tells the story of how you should accept the flaws that comes along with your growth.

In addition to that, their songs are of various genre and that is why I always enjoy and love listening to their music. However, The Chaos Chapter: Freeze hits so different and is truly a masterpiece. The songs from this album are literally the best and from different genres. The title track, which is 0X1 = Lovesong is such a great song, it makes me feel nostalgic and the emotions and they put into while singing the song resonates within me. The songs in this album are superior, listening to the whole album is such as rollercoaster ride of emotions, from feeling the slow beat in anti-romantic, the longing in 0X1 = Lovesong up to the angst and power in Frost. Such a masterpiece album, definitely one for the ages!!! This is my favorite album so far! and I will never stop listening to the entire discography. The Chaos Chapter: Freeze, definitely album of the year material and TOMORROW X TOGETHER THE FUTURE OF KPOP!!!… Expand

    This album, Chaos Chapter, really showcase the beauty and the bright future ahead of Tomorrow by Together. They embrace new genres of music that is rarely seen in the industry and their style of music is both impactful and catchy. Every song on the album conveys specific emotions through the member's voice and lyrics. One of the best albums of the year and I can't wait to hear more from the group.

    This album showed diverse music and showed TXT's growth. Proof that they don't settle for anything constant but they're not afraid to try new things and genres for this album.

    This is truly an incredible album. While listening to the songs you could tell which members worked on the songs and i loved that. I loved getting to know just a little bit more about the guys. I know for a fact that i will still be listening to this album 20-30 years from now

    All songs in this album are so good and each songs have their storylines which are very relatable for young people. The beats of songs are great too, it's very easy to listen and remember them. Maybe in some lyrics can trigger someone but overall it's really great album.

    It's really amazing album, honestly never expect the album to come out so well. This album is Tomorrow x Together turns point. Can't wait for what will they serve in the next album. Run away is my favorite all the times, the song made me turn to their casual listener, and by this album, I become their fan. It's been a month and never tired to listen the whole discography in this album.

    The Chaos Chapter: Freeze is a coming of age story and begins:
    - With a pessimistic view of love because you are afraid of being hurt (anti-romantic)
    -Feeling like a nobody (zero = worthless) but finding someone who makes you feel like you're a million because you have one (1) person by your side. (0X1 = LOVESONG - I KNOW I LOVE YOU). - The fear, negative thoughts, the feeling of    The Chaos Chapter: Freeze is a coming of age story and begins:
    - With a pessimistic view of love because you are afraid of being hurt (anti-romantic)
    -Feeling like a nobody (zero = worthless) but finding someone who makes you feel like you're a million because you have one (1) person by your side. (0X1 = LOVESONG - I KNOW I LOVE YOU).
    - The fear, negative thoughts, the feeling of worthlessness and suffering disappeared because you found someone who makes you feel better as if by magic. (Magic).
    -Then life hits you with reality and unhappiness is your everyday mood, you feel empty again despite the fact that you are surrounded by many people and now their happiness bothers you. You like ice cream while it's frozen, but you know it won't last forever, so happiness is like ice cream, you don't have ice cream every day, but you want to have it every day. (Ice cream).
    -Now unhappiness doesn't bother you, but insecurities come into your life, you're looking for a place to fit in, you don't know which path is the right one, what to do with your life. You're young and people say that you are immature but at this age they force you to make decisions that will affect your whole life even when you have not found answers to who you are, "they haven't found their color in the palette", just like a young puma they're thrown into the grown ups territory where they can be "attacked or even killed", metaphorically referring that they can be hurt by a world that has spent centuries living in cruelty. (What if I had been that puma?).
    -You embrace what youth is: a form of chemical madness, where there are no rules, you live without fear of consequences and you don't care that everything is a mess. (No rules).
    -Life is a roller coaster and the emptiness hits you again but you realize that you don't have to go through this path alone, so you find a group of "fellow travelers" who will help you enjoy even the sad moments. (Dear Sputnik, sputnik means "fellow traveler" in Russian).
    --Congratulations, you are an adult now and only the coldness of the world welcomes you, you realize that growing up is not the answer to your problems, adulthood is a chaos of questions, being an adult is living in a frozen world that will never show you warmth.

    The lyrics, the music and the artists portray the uniqueness that growing up represents, this album conveys the feelings of that chapter of chaos that we all lived or are living in our lives.    … Expand

    This album is a demonstration of how BigHit Music’s in-house producers and TXT members' composing skills blend smoothly to experiment with sound in clever but relatable narratives. ... The Chaos Chapter: Freeze is a surreal album in which a mix of sounds, music genres, and metaphorical lyrics seem out of shape – until you step to the right distance to appreciate the whole painting.

    Aside from the delicate "Anti-Romantic," the rest of the effort keeps the energy high with its hybrid blend of electronic, hip-hop, and anthemic rock flourish, resulting in a wholly engaging listen that ends all too soon.

    This new record not only keeps up that 100 per cent strike rate of golden tunes, but also gives us their best release to date. It’s an album that represents huge growth. Their vocals are more powerful and emotive than ever. ... Like true Gen Z artists, they pull from an extensive palette of genres, but manage to make each – be it angsty rock or a return to disco-pop – feel like it’s a sound they’ve been honing for ages.
