    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album completely great. The music is so fresh not like some kpop songs full of construction sounds.0x1 love song is the best kpop song I ever heard this years.Tomorrow by Together huening kai also participate in dear sputnik which is my favourite track. Other tomorrow by together members also participate in lyrics. The choreography also unique and new.whoever hate this album must don't have taste in music.I hope everyone will see txt talent and great music.… Expand

    the album is really good, the artists sang every song really well, not only vocal-wise, but they certainly did a good job at expressing the emotions on every song. one of the best albums i have ever listened to. good job!

    Este álbum superó las expectativas de muchas personas, ya sea por los diferentes tipos de ritmos que este trae y como estos se complementan tan bien a cada uno de los miembros de TXT. Tantos bailes dinámicos como así también más lentos y concisos. Donde al escuchar cada canción transmite una energía distinta el cual te deja expectante de lo que pueda suceder.

    I had listened to all of their albums and EP, The Chaos Chapter: Freeze is their BEST album so far. The quality of variety of genres the serve from the first track to the 8th track, are beyond satisfaction.

    The songs included in this album is spectacular. Different genres of music and a refreshing comeback for TXT. Their vocals are insane and as always, their lyrics are very deep and meaningful. This is one of the most legendary comebacks in 2021. The Chaos Chapter: Freeze will remain as iconic as ever. 10/10!!!

    TXT's best album so far. Every song serves a different kind of emotion. It is an album filled with stories.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TXT always produces amazing music every comeback. This album is a masterpiece itself, no skips with various song vibes and genre in an album. "Anti-romantic" is especially impressive with its simple beat but lyrics that hits straight to the heart. The title track itself, "0X1=LOVESONG" gives off desperate feels about love with raspy voices and a beautifully emotional song as a whole. "No rules" is an bright cheerful upbeat song that gives an instant serotonin boost. "Ice cream" is a good example of the few tracks which has an upbeat pop genre with lyrics which are creepy and mischievous. Despite being Korean artists, they successfully pulled off the song "Magic" and performed on huge American TV shows. My personal favorite is "What If I Had Been That Puma", very sexy of a song, this overautotuned song is very poppy and hits every beat perfectly, especially the rap parts. "Dear Sputnik", produced by a 19 year old boy, Huening Kai Kamal, is very amazing and gives happy concert vibes. This song is perfect to be performed in concerts. "Frost" is one of the very few songs which has such genres. The voices in the song gives very angst vibes and the angry emotions can be felt through the song. The lyrics are also amazingly artistic and angry. Overall, this is the best album with the best songs I've ever heard in my life. TXT never misses, they truly are the future of the music industry.… Expand

    The Chaos Chapter: Freeze is undeniably an amazing album by Tomorrow X Together. They have once again ventured on what more they can do, from R&B, hybrid pop rock, retro funk, alt-rock to hyperpop, they aren't afraid to explore more genres to their discography.

An album with no skips at all, and you'd find yourself listening to it on repeat. I recommend everyone who comes across this album to give this a listen! Great job to the boys and their team!… Expand

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

    A perfect story-telling album. I believe for those who have listened to TXT before, this album perfectly shows the growth of the group in all aspect (the personal growth of each member, the change in the overall concept of TXT lyrics and music production, the new stage of life that they have described), while it is certainly a great way to introduce TXT to new listeners.

Please pay close attention to the song lyrics even if you don’t speak Korean (check out Twitter @304chive or Genius for lyrics translation). Also the youth concept in the official MV of the title track 0X1= LOVESONG that Bighit Music is known for is a really nice build-up story for all the desperation, that feeling of being lost that you are able to feel through the song. Please check this album out, totally worth it!… Expand

    the album is so versatile and refreshing! there’s a song for every mood you’re in, not to mention that it is so well crafted from sound to lyrics to execution, there seems to be no gaps and the album is so cohesive - truly one of a kind!

    The Chaos Chapter: Freeze is one of the best albums I heard, the lyrics, the composition, the choreography, each of the eight songs makes me turn up the volume and shake my head, it's a roller coaster of emotions. The interpretation of each of the songs managed to touch my heart, I even cried with the title song, without a doubt it deserves that rating.

    I’ve heard many good things about this group considering they come from the same company as BTS and have gained so much fame through that, but this album was just disappointing… I’ve seen people praise the group so much but neither the lyricism nor the vocals were great… hopefully in the future they’ll get to grow into their own light and release better tracks.

I believe that’s very much possible as they come from a very successful company that helps produce good music, they just need to trust the company and work on their vocals to lessen the auto tune. I wish them the best, I believe they’ll make it big even if their music isn’t all that good … Expand

    This album shows a whole new side of TXT and how they have matured as both individuals and musicians. It presents a really wide range of styles and tones, going from "Anti-Romantic" to "Frost", and there's a very clear streamline that ties all the songs together. Usually when the range is too wide, there's a huge risk that the album sound lost and messy, and this is not the case with thisThis album shows a whole new side of TXT and how they have matured as both individuals and musicians.

Usually when the range is too wide, there's a huge risk that the album sound lost and messy, and this is not the case with this album. You'll get an amazing experience listening to the songs in order from track #1 to track #8 as well as enjoying the songs separately because each of them has its own charm. The members of TXT also took part in 5 of 8 songs, the most they've ever done since debut. This is why the lyrics are so personal and you can feel their raw and honest feelings through every single song.

    Overall their best release to date, no fillers, no skips. Album of the decade, honestly.    … 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.
