Background

After the release of their 2008 studio album Song is Universal, member Gyepi left the band, and the band founded their own label, Studio Broccoli. Yoon Deokwon interviewed the album and the title track, "We didn't know when we wrote the song, but when we made it all, these were the concerns we had in our 20s. Whenwe thought about what the word encompasses all of it, it was Graduation......it is the stage of growth, but I think everyone usually have such a process."[3]

Wi Sooji of IZM described the album as "The sound and song progression of Graduation is far from unique, but such plainness and calmness come to the sound of more in-depth reading and understanding."[4] Lee Sooyeon of Weiv reviewed "Hyangki's guitar, which used to connect riffs that transformed vocal melodies one by one, is already using various pickings, and the arrangement of songs and the consistency of the album are superior to that of their previous work."[5]
