Perfect for Sunny-Day Road Trip Rotation
"Shine" is a stellar single with an adorable video, cute lyrics and a meme-ready dance anyone can do with enough enthusiasm and effort. The rest of the album rounds out the single nicely ~ lots of breezy bluesky cruising music and one fun hip-hop track to remind us not to sleep on E-Dawn and Yuto, who are damned good at what they do. Nothing really grabs you quite the way "Shine" does and the end effect is sort of like softer, friendlier Ikon. That is by no means a bad thing, but it does mean they could push the envelope a little further when it comes to defining their own individual styles and their group sound. 10 is a LOT of members to work with and it's kind of hard to make everyone shine. I'll be painfully honest: I know five members by name and can distinguish only 3 of them by sound alone. There's so much crazy talent here that it's almost disappointing that there are so many boys to sift through, even if they are such personable cutie-pies.As far as the mini itself: the packaging is good but could be a touch more polished. The folded poster has at least one awkward crease placement that ought to have been better planned for (RIP Yan An's face) while the 2nd photobook is glued down in such a way that the binding is distorted and bound to tear over time. I like the cardboard-like matte finish on everything and it's good a good finger-feel. I'm loving my muted, slightly dorky Hui photocard. The pictures included in the two attatched photobooks are all really attractive -- especially if you'd like to gaze upon manflesh (there's an almost gratuitous amount of shirt-lifting and underwear flashing going on). Also included are an invite to a fanmeeting that has already ended (oops), an audition call for Cube Entertainment and an advertisement for a Cube-run cafe and rental space.All-in-all, I'm not disappointed (except maybe for the borky poster) and have already popped it into my car CD player where it will live until something else just as breezy and enjoyable comes along.

Um please buy this??? Stan Talent!!
I love it! Of course, I already knew the tracks were bops so no surprise there. But the quality of the album is just amazing, and the photo book is beautiful! I liked my Yanan card (but I wish it was Jinho 😣), and the poster is really nice. I'm not sure why I got two NCT member cards (idk who they are bc I don't know anything about NCT), but maybe I can do a giveaway or something! Overall, really great quality for the value, and I'm happy I could support PENTAGON! 'Shine' got Critic's Choice #2 spot on the Billboard's Top 20 KPOP songs of 2018!

I’m Positive You’ll Enjoy This Album
I hadn’t found out about Pentagon until I came across the video for “Naughty Boy” on YouTube, but I’m glad I did. Thumbs Up! is good, but I might like Positive better, if only because E’Dawn was still a full part of the process.Everything came as described, and I even got a poster with the full group, which made me extremely happy. The album even came in two days, though I only selected the standard, free shipping, so that was a nice surprise.

Very Good Purchase!
The main issue i had with this product was that it momentarily got lost in the mail, however it was not DAEBAK's fault. It was on USPS. DAEBAK was super quick with customer help and finding out what happened to my package.The album came in perfect condition and you can see in the pictures that it comes bubble wrapper. Super happy with my purchase and super happy to support my boys!

I am so so so happy
This was my first Pentagon album ever and I am so happy with it. It came in perfect condition! I got Hongseok as my photocard❤ the group cd plate, and Hongseok, Hui, Changgu, Jinho, and Hyojong as the 5 member poster. I can't express how happy I am with this purchase.

Amazing album! I got Yanan's photo card so I ...
Amazing album! I got Yanan's photo card so I was extremely happy because he is my bias and apart from that, the poster nicely folded and the actual photobooks were not damaged at all.
