Ngọc (verified owner) – Đà Nẵng, Việt Nam – April 15, 2026
Album này nghe khá hay, nhiều giai điệu bắt tai. Mình thích lời bài hát phản ánh cảm xúc thực tế. Nhạc đã gửi đến nhanh nhưng bìa đĩa có màu nhạt hơn so với ảnh trên mạng.

Liam (verified owner) – Chicago, USA – March 25, 2026
The album has solid beats and relatable lyrics. It’s a bit deeper than their last one, which I liked. However, the cover art is different from what I saw online—just more vibrant colors instead of soft ones.

Liam (verified owner) – London, UK – March 22, 2026
Album has a mix of solid beats and some slower tracks. One song hit me hard; the lyrics felt true to life. I noticed the package arrived late, but no big deal overall.

Wren (verified owner) – Denver, USA – March 16, 2026
I got the EPEX album and liked a couple of songs. It arrived later than expected, but that’s fine. The random delivery was cool since I didn’t know which ones I’d get. Perfect for my playlist, just a bit less vibrant color on the cover art than what I saw online.

Rowan (verified owner) – Seattle, USA – January 17, 2026
This album has a raw vibe that hit home for me. The melodies are catchy, and some lyrics resonated deeply with my experiences as a young adult. I wasn’t crazy about the cover art; it’s different from what was shown online but still okay. Overall, worth listening to if you’re feeling out of place or lost.

Vladimir Ivanovich from Barcelona, España – January 13, 2026
El segundo álbum de EPEX, ‘Lack of Youth’, resulta un viaje emocional a través del laberinto complejo que enfrentamos en la juventud. Mientras su primer trabajo abordaba el fervor y las vibraciones explosivas de los días dorados, esta entrega más reciente presenta una reflexión profunda sobre la falta e incertidumbre que caracterizan estos años cruciales. Con letras cargadas de honestidad desgarradora, los temas abordan no solo desilusiones amorosas sino también introspecciones personales sin filtrar que resuenan con cualquier alma inquieta al borde del paso a la madurez. Las melodías impactantes combinadas con sus harmonizaciones han creado una experiencia envolvente donde muchos pueden encontrar consuelo.

Ngọc – Hanoi, Vietnam – October 20, 2025
Tôi đã nghe album này một vài lần. Giai điệu hay, lời bài hát rất cảm xúc. Một số bài lại không nổi bật lắm. Nhưng nhìn chung, mình thấy ổn và sẽ mua nữa.
Rated 4 out of 5
Sofia Matos from São Paulo, Brazil (verified owner) – October 14, 2025
EPEX’s ‘Youth Deficiency’ plunges into the voids of teenage life, offering an anthem for those wrestling with their inner turmoil in today’s chaotic world. It’s both a revelation and solace.
Rated 4 out of 5
Meike Janssens from Haarlem, Nederland – October 14, 2025
EPEX’s nieuwste album, ‘Lack of Youth’, neemt je mee op een onomwonden reis door de verdoken emoties van de jeugd. Elk nummer ontvouwt delicate verhalen van strijd en verlangen, prachtig verankerd in krachtige melodieën die blijven resoneren. Het is niet simpelweg muziek; het biedt erkenning voor ons alledaagse worstelen.
