Reception

''We've Done Something Wonderful'' peaked at No. 6 on the South Korean Gaon chart, and No. 2 on the US World Albums chart.

Contemplatively inspirational and dreary, it is a mature album that -- while perhaps less fun and pop-ish than Shoebox -- seems to return Epik to a more introverted space, inspired by the what they've faced over their nearly decade and a half as one of Korea's most prominent hip-hop teams."
