Consisting of 9 songs, this album comes in various physical versions, including a special 25 Ver. edition, photobook, and SMini that will delight collectors. The main song or title track is titled Express Mode, which immediately grabs attention with its retro-pop vibe that feels very 'SuJu' and evokes nostalgia from their golden era in the early 2010s.

With a modern touch while still maintaining Super Junior's distinctive identity, this album shows how they continue to evolve without losing the characteristics loved by fans.

1. Impressions for Super Junior-25

Upon first listening, I immediately felt pulled back to the heyday of Super Junior in the early 2010s through the opening song Express Mode. Its beat is energetic, the arrangements are catchy, and there’s a touch of nostalgia that warms the heart. After that, the first four songs like "Haircut", "Air", and of course "Delight", really boost the spirit and lift the mood.

Entering the fifth song, "I Know", the atmosphere shifts to a more mellow tone. This is the type of ballad that showcases each member's vocals, and you can really feel their vocal quality and maturity as a well-established group. But don’t worry, after that, the vibe returns to cheerful and festive in songs like "Say Less" and "D.N.A", until the album concludes with "Stuck With You", a sweet song full of warm affection.

Overall, I love how the flow of this album feels like a complete emotional journey. Starting with excitement, moving to reflective, and then rising again filled with love.

2. Recommended Songs

The two songs that stuck with me the most are "Delight" and "Stuck With You". "Delight" is the type of song that instantly boosts your spirit when it plays, perfect for chasing away a bad mood. The rhythm and arrangement feel fresh and happy, and honestly, it makes you want to jump even while sitting!

Meanwhile, "Stuck With You" is a super sweet closing song. The lyrics and melody make you smile and give a warm feeling like being hugged. This is the kind of song that's nice to listen to while relaxing in the afternoon or as a lullaby with a happy heart. Its cheerful and romantic combination is just perfect to close this album with a sense of satisfaction.

3. Overall

If you're an ELF or just a K-pop fan who enjoys songs with balanced emotions and energy, this album is definitely worth listening to from start to finish. Keep supporting Super Junior!
