are in top form here, delivering five could-be singles that run the gamut from playful hip-hop dance ("Lemon Drop") and lover-boy R&B ("Masterpiece") to smooth synth bliss ("Castle") and cinematic electronic ("Bridge: The Edge of Reality").

Upon release, the EP topped the South Korean and U.S. World Album charts, rising as high as number two on the main U.S. album chart. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
