Background

edit

In 2012, Kuang Program released two EPs, This is The End of Us and (For City) Special Demo.[3] The cover image of the album is a certain erasure of the duo's photos, and Choi Taehyeon explained that he was trying to create "an image where you become me and I become you."[4]

Critical reception

edit

Choi Minwoo of Weiv reviewed "the album seems to be desperately trying to go beyond its context, and that the moments when the effort is rewarded are heard."[5] Cho Jihwan of Tonplein described You or Me as an album describing noise as a result of a common situation in which several people gather and live in one place.[6]
