The album may not absolutely burst at the seams like Summer Nights‘ best moments, but here consistency was clearly the name of the game. BLACKPINK can have the global crown, but when it comes to excellence in truly euphoric K-pop, this is still TWICE’s nest in which to roost.

Overall, the album is an attempted maturation of TWICE's sound and concept- it's obvious both in concept visuals and album production. Immediately after their anthem title track, "HELL IN HEAVEN," brings a signature JYP girl group sound with tropical house and breathy vocal delivery to boot. The spoken, "Take me to your paradise" line is an amazing hook with a catchy club beat that isn't expected from TWICE. "UP NO MORE" follows this cool appeal with a suave beat and harmonies delicately interlaced. Production is a huge improvement on this comeback compared to "More & More," and it shows!

Overall, the 13 tracks are absolute bops that truly showcase Twice’s talents – especially given the knowledge that some of the nine members participated in the songwriting process.
