I am starting a new post trend (if that makes any sense) in my blog. Basically, I am going to comment on the tracks of new released albums. Am I making sense? I think I am. I hope I do. Anyway, I'll start with the album which was currently released and that is the new PTX album, PENTATONIX.

I have mentioned Pentatonix before in this blog so I think it's not everybody's first time hearing about them. (Of course you heard about them before. I mean, they're like really famous).
PENTATONIX (I have to write in all caps to differentiate it from the artist) is the fourth studio album by American a cappella group Pentatonix. The album was released on October 16, 2015. So about two weeks ago. This album is the group's seventh release.
Everyone (and by that, I mean every person who JUST or NEVER knew about PTX) is freaking out on the fact that it was the fourth studio album. "What about PTX Vol. 1, 2 and 3?!" No. They are not studio albums. They are considered as EPs (Extended Plays) and not studio albums. There's a difference.
Well, moving on, the album cover was released on Twitter and Instagram by a series featuring the five band members released over a five-day span, with one band member added to the picture each day.
Before the album release, the group already released five singles (that are included in the Deluxe Version of the album) and five music videos. These singles were "Cheerleader"(Omi Cover), "Can't Sleep Love" (Original song), "Can't Sleep Love" (feat. Tink), Where Are Ü Now (Jack Ü/Justin Bieber Cover), and "Sing" (Original Song).
As much as I really want to discuss the music videos with you (because those videos were freaking amazing!!!), we have to concentrate on the whole album.
The album (not Deluxe) is filled with original songs written by the band members (Scott, Kirstin, Mitch, Kevin and Avi). The only one in the album which is not an original is Shai's "If I Ever Fall In Love" and PTX sang this song with Jason Derulo. The three covers (Cheerleader, Where Are Ü Now and Lean On) and "Can't Sleep Love" (feat. Tink) are included in the deluxe edition of the album.
My Comments:
Well. What can I say? THE WHOLE ALBUM IS FREAKING AMAZIIIIING!!! Three days after the release (because I didn't have a chance to connect to the internet for the past three days because of a storm), me and my best friend listened to the entire album in school and we can't stop listening to it. It is addicting. I was practically weeping while listening to it. I listened to the album for like 15 times in a span of 36 hours.
The arrangements were awesome. The lyrics were amazing. Very meaningful. The arrangement were on point. The arrangement made it super addicting. I can't even describe it properly. I have no words. It is just plainly AMAZING! Hands down to Pentatonix.
Favorite Song/s?
I freaking have four favorite songs from the Deluxe Version. It's "Water", "Can't Sleep Love" (feat. Tink), "Misbehavin'" and "Where Are Ü Now". I never get sick of these songs. They are my new jam!
First reaction?
I was really excited for the album because it is their first original album so I was excited to hear more original songs from them and new arrangements.
Anyway, that is all I have to say about the album. By the way, did you know that this album made it to #1 in the US BILLBOARD200! I mean, that's insane. That is how great the album is so better listen to it and/or purchase it.
