Out November 7.” was all it took to send fans spiraling into conversation. Some loved the confidence behind the name, while others couldn’t resist poking fun at how blunt it was.

A fan joked: “They really said ‘just put album in the title twice.”

The comment quickly picked up likes, reflecting how amused the community was by the group’s unbothered humor.

Another fan added:

Someone else playfully remarked:

“What a creative name lol”

And then there were those who simply summed up the moment with humor. A fan commented:

“Noticed we really don’t gaf😭😭😭”

perfectly capturing the carefree vibe of the fandom that tends to celebrate the weirdness instead of questioning it.

What could have been just another album announcement turned into a mini-viral event not because of controversy or drama, but because of how Terror continues to blur the line between irony and sincerity.
