After forming in 2020 through Belift Labs survival show I-Land, seven-piece boy band ENHYPEN swiftly became one of the years most talked-about new groups. Their debut EP, Border: Day One, secured an impressive number two position on the Gaon charts. Now, having topped the charts with sophomore EP Border: Carnival, the group look to consolidate their artistic intentions -- and though their debut album is a little on the short side, it makes up for it with quality anthems. Titled DIMENSION: DILEMMA, the groups first LP puts them at a point of decision: taken aback by the wide possibilities of youth, ENHYPEN are striving to find the right ways forward. These decisions come in many forms -- the conflicting romance of Just a Little Bit, the decisive impulse of Go Big or Go Home, the main character energy of Blockbuster -- but all remain compellingly anchored in the groups emotive lyricism. Under the thumping, Daft Punk-like bassline of lead single Tamed-Dashed comes a distinctly candid plea: Scorching sun, show me the way -- my compass, please dont leave me now. ENHYPENs choice of production proves equally engaging. The wind-tunnel adrenaline of Tamed-Dashed is full and lively; Upper Side Dreamin and Just a Little Bit are tinged with a warm, autumnal nostalgia; and Attention Please! pulls no stops with its main-stage guitar riffing. Blockbuster, perhaps the most ambitious of the albums six full tracks, begins like an early-2000s Celldweller track before folding cleanly into the melodic rock fusions typical of the genre. The only real miss here is Go Big or Go Home; Jay and Heeseungs infectious refrain feels wasted on such a generic deep house cut. With only six songs and a runtime of just over 22 minutes, DIMENSION: DILEMMA perhaps oversteps by billing itself as a full album -- but the project nonetheless proves another solid instalment in ENHYPENs climb to the top. ~ David Crone
