Cover art

The cover art of Remember Archive features red. In an interview with Associated Press, Code Kunst said that the color most closely matches the memories that remain very strong in his head and inspired the 17 tracks on the album.[3]

Music and lyrics

On Remember Archive, Code Kunst recorded all the precious memories that made him who he is today.[4] The album features beats that emphasize melody rather than rhythm.[5] The first half is made up of "trendy" songs while the second half is composed of "warm" ones.[6]

"Jumper" is about a romantic relationship between an artist and his fan. Gaeko raps from the perspective of the artist and Mino from that of the fan.[2]

Critical reception

Park Su-jin of IZM gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars. She wrote that "the musical style of Code Kunst remains like an afterimage" after listening to it.[6]

Lee Deok-haeng of Ize described the album as an "important record" that explains who Code Kunst is.[2]

Critics of Music Y rated "Circle" 3 out of 5 stars. Yoo Seong-eun wrote that it expresses the frustration of being trapped in a relationship in a "mature" way.[1]
