The album contains 11 songs, including the title track "View". The music video for the title track was filmed in Thailand. The repackaged album, Married to the Music, was released on the August 3, 2015 with 4 additional songs.
The album received favorable reviews from music critics, who praised Shinee's experimenting and playing sound which results in a "fresh and evolved album" as well as the groups return to their known R&B side. The album was commercially successful in South Korea—the title track topped the Gaon Digital Chart, while the album charted at number one on the Gaon Album Chart, selling over 165,000 copies during the first month of release. It also sold over 2,000 copies in the US.
Shinee worked alongside director Min Hee Jin who has been with them since their debut and is known for his visually impactful teasers. The style of clothing for the albums concept sport a comfortable and refreshing vibe, displaying the merits of loose T-shirts and denim shorts most likely to match the R&B vibe. Breaking away from their powerful and precise choreography, the choreography of "View", which was choreographed by Ian Eastwood, brings about a groove style, and they showcase the teamwork and inner strength of an experienced 7-year-old group.
Shinee's fourth full-length album was digitally and physically released on May 18, 2015 and is the group's first Korean release after a two-year hiatus. On May 21, the group began their promotions for the title song "View" on music shows, starting with Mnet's M! Countdown and followed by KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS's Inkigayo. As part of the promotion, the group members also guested on several variety shows including Hello Counselor, Saturday Night Live Korea and Non-Summit They also appeared on fellow member Jonghyun's radio show, Blue Night. "Odd" also marks the 7th anniversary of Shinee's debut therefore making it more meaningful for the group. Member Onew stated:
