[edit] Album history
After achieving success from their debut promo-single, "TWINS (Knock Out)" which was performed on SBS's Popular Songs on November 6, 2005, the group was scheduled to release an official single of the song. However, a digital single of "TWINS (Knock Out)" was released instead with three more brand new singles available for download on November 8, 2005.
On February 12, 2006, Super Junior moved to their second promo-single, "Miracle". The single version of the song differs from the original, as it has a dance break and an added bridge near the climax of the song. In contrast to the edgy, rock-influenced feel of "TWINS (Knock Out)", "Miracle" was a light bubblegum pop love song with light-hearted dance choreography. It was the second and last song to be promoted from their studio album.
Only twelve of the current thirteen members of Super Junior are featured in the album and singles as Kyuhyun was not added to the group until six months after this album's release.
[edit] Overview
The album's first single, "TWINS (Knock Out)" is a rap rock release. Dancing like eagles, the dance choreography arranged for the song became warmly welcomed and extremely popular. The follow-up single, "Miracle", is a typical K-pop bubblegum pop song, a genre still very welcomed by children and young adults. Like the song itself, the dance choreography for the single is also simpler and softer. The rest of the tracks in their first studio album, mainly consist of pop love ballads and also R&B-influenced dance tracks with rap and fast drum beats.
The main themes involved in the album are about situations that are related to love or trust. Soothing ballads like "You are the one" and "So I" intends a positive environment in one's love relationship. Fast tracks with light-hearted melodies like "Miracle" and "Way for love" contains bubblegum pop lyrics with positive views of love and trust. However, fast, rap-influenced dance tracks like "TWINS (Knock Out)", "OVER", "L.O.V.E", etc. usually gives in negative connotations about love and relationships. For example, in "OVER", the lyrics hovers around a confident persistence after a relationship breakup. "L.O.V.E" involves around a loss of hope and confidence after love is shattered. Likewise, Super Junior's debut track "TWINS (Knock Out)" speaks of self-deception and the indecisive aspects of mind, contrasting the feelings between a man towards love and how he has to decide whether or not he should continue to love or fight with sticking to his own destiny.
