[Dispatch=Reporter Jung Tae-yun] Tomorrow X Together is receiving praise from overseas media outlets.
Tomorrow X Together released their mini 8th album "7TH YEAR: When the Wind Stopped Briefly in the Thornbush" on the 13th. The members honestly captured the emotions they felt over the past 7 years and through contract renewal.
The album is garnering positive reviews from global listeners through universal sentiments such as anxiety about the future and emptiness, combined with experimental sound. American V Magazine stated, "We commend the members' perseverance and growth as they have run ceaselessly in the rapidly changing K-pop market."
It continued, "The unprecedented sincerity shown in this album is an indicator proving the members' artistic maturity. This is only the beginning. The emotional depth contained in the album is far more solid and deep than what appears on the surface."
American popular culture magazine The Honey Pop evaluated it as "a candidate for 'Album of the Year' appearing at the most perfect timing in Tomorrow X Together's career. There is no more perfect comeback for them as they break the '7-year jinx' and begin a new musical journey."
British popular culture magazine Wonderland viewed it as, "Tomorrow X Together has sounded more like themselves than ever. Their choice to stay together stems from genuine teamwork and conviction in music that transcends mere business."
Praise also followed for the title track "One More Day Than Yesterday." "On the surface it is a love song, but internally it is a masterpiece that unfolds mutual longing and anxiety to be together through reflective and refined sound," it said in commendation.
Rolling Stone India also praised it highly, saying, "It is a dreamy, soft yet resonant song. The minimal sound makes the members' voices stand out and leaves an aftertaste with listeners."
Global music media Tomorrow Magazine noted the high sales figures. "This remarkable achievement is an indicator showing that they have conviction more than ever about the direction they should move toward and have implemented this with artistic precision," it analyzed.
