COMEBACK OF THE NEW DECADE TBQH! Can't say I'm excited on the title (at least for now), I know it's a play on words since MEG is in fashion and all but it just sounds... like obnoxious chat speak? lol. Still really excited however! I'm really liking the song titles and list of producers. Already pre-order the limited edition, I hope this month goes by quickly~
