EXO 'Obsession' Reaction

- I know we're a few days late, but we finally checked out Obsession! We went on a mini vacation for Thanksgiving Break, but now we're back ^^ (we film reactions when school is in session.) Sadly I won't have time to film an album first listen (gotta study for finals and work on final projects), but the songs will be run by our "musician panel" starting this week. If we’re to run the songs through the deciding process for the CMR series (which takes sometimes up to a month or longer), I’ll need to check them out ASAP. So i’ll be listening to them while on the shuttle to school/while cooking meals etc. Need all extra time to study and work on school projects!

is this the chorus?
EXO: well yes, but actually no
I don't think so.
😂
Florina Araño when I tell you I SCREAMED.
Florina Araño harr harr clever one pal 😭😂
I screamed i dont think so 🤣
the timing was so funny!
umu: is this the pre-chorus?
exo: i don't think so / kevin: probably
xD
When Kevin says "WOW" it is a wow song u gotta trust this man taste
Not at all
SM is really doing their own thing.
Supercar, Superhuman, Tempo, Obsession, Superclap, Jopping, Blooming days, All day All night, Cant stand the rain, Zimzalabim, Sassy, good evening...
Damn
Whole bops
are any of them flops? I don't think so
I'm adding RBB too srry yall
also superhuman. Sm killing the game with their music. always something new and fresh
These songs are all reasons why I'm an sm stan
The song just keeps getting better and better the more that you listen to it.
Absolutely agree
Definitely
Dude...
Exactly
Agreed.
most of their b-side track feels like just 80's and 90's
Thats kinda the direction of the record tho
Yes it is but i think it’s an EXO trademark, some 80’s and 90’s vibe? Not sure but some of their b-side tracks have those vibes right? Hehe correct me if I’m wrong
Jekyll gives me Snoop Dogg vibes hahaha
Non Stop could be a 80s/90s Bee Gees Track. YaYaYa could easily fit on the Dangerous Minds Soundtrack.
@@zhellebundang5693 no more like rnb feel but this album gives off old school vibe which is the concept they went for ( not the mv concept )
“Is this the chorus?”
EXO: “I don’t think so”
I see ReacttotheK and EXO, I click.
and got7, but mostly exo.
Umu and Kevin are the power reaction duo I always need to watch.
I really love when a musician react to music because they can judged the music based on knowledge they have...awesome👏
I can bet 90% of their subscribers are people who appreciate what they do for a reaction video especially K-Pop songs. Which is reacting to their actual music, in a technical level. While other reactors usually only focused on praising the visuals, like other thousands K-pop reaction channels out there. To me, this channel stands out for being educative and entertaining.
Even though I don't understand half (all) of the things they talk about, I really love to watch reacttothek. The first time I listen to obsession i dont like the "i dont think so" part, but i dont know the reason haha maybe a bit overused (?) but watching this maybe I have the same preference as kevin😂😂 so watching reacttothek made me understand why i like and i dont like the specific part of the song🙏🙏 hope this channel still running for a long long time
That why I love this channel.
@@salmarw2265 not overused, repetitive. A bit too much actually. The purpose of it is to make a catchy line that stucks in ur head. It does stuck but not as enjoyable as most people want I think unlike Growl for example(where they keep repeating "Eureurong" but still fitting to the song & it's really addictive)
@@resurgingflame forgive me if im wrong bc english is not my first language, but overused and repetitive have the same meaning right?
Will be interviewing Adrian Mckinnon (a topline songwriter) later this month!
His discography includes:
SuperM's Jopping, 2 Fast
EXO's LOTTO, Tempo, Obsession, Forever, Lightsaber, Lucky One
WayV's Moonwalk, Love Talk
NCT 127 's Superhuman, TOUCH, Running 2 U
SHINee Married to the Music, View
F(x) 4 Walls
...and a lot more: genius.com/artists/Adrian-mckinnon
Reply with any questions you may have for him and I may include them in my interview :)
Yesssss this is so exciting i cant wait!!!
Well 1 min 1 view and just when i was about to search your channel for this particular video. Duhhhh
which song(s) did you enjoy working on the most? or which songs were the most challenging?
:ooooooo
Which group amazes you while working with them?
someone: why u stan sm artists so much
me: watch this video buddy
Kevin: "Ugh your composer knowledge."
SAME KEVIN SAME!! IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU RECALL THOSE THINGS IN A SNAP WOW
I can hear the song even before it started. The song is indeed addictive.
6:04 what Kevin said totally happened with me too. I initially didn't like the 1st half and a bit disappointed. But as soon as the 2nd half came I got BLOWN AWAY.
Rest is a history.
🙂
'The very first high-belted, thick cord that we hear in an SM song'
*TVXQ: Am I a joke to you?*
Oh shoot which song of theirs? Their songs that I'd thought would have a belted cluster chord didn't have it.
@@ReacttotheK I think you should check their older songs like bolero or rising sun
@@antoniavasquez3970 a reaction to rising sun would be really interesting
@@ReacttotheK O jung bang hap and Rising sun 😊
@@ReacttotheK you just need to looking for tvxq song with five member 😊
*BRO I WAS JUST LISTENING TO OBSESSION WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION*
I’m Trash I laughed so hard seeing your comment with your profile 😂😂
The “I don’t think so” is distorted because it’s X-exo talking it’s actually cool because the music follows their concept of exo and exo clones fighting each other
I was waiting for this reaction because Obsession is so vocally interesting to me. Over laying of vocals and harmony. Really wanted to know your thoughts. Kevin you’re not the first person to point out Run the jewels.
Umu: "Is this the chorus?"
Exo: "I don't think so."
The whole album is a like a whole new present for kpop
When i see ReacttotheK and EXO in the same line , i click in the speed of light
The lyrics literally sound like they're singing about a sleep demon lol
They are singing about the two sides they have (EXO and X-EXO)
So basically yes it is their sleep demon
Ikr? I was thinking of Incubus.
They're singing about inner conflict so yes, sleep demon works.
@@mhapigeon4026 what is x-exo?
@@inzaghiscornsalad7034 the concept of the obsession album was exo and x-exo(fake,evil version of exo) fighting
Exo is their own genre. No 3rd gen bg can compare
*You should react to the full album . Everything is Good, Literally its a piece of art!*
She said she doesn't have time to do an album reaction in the video description.
ahh ok thanks for the info
Just like what Kevin said
"The you hear, the more YOU LIKE IT", that EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL FROM FIRST TIME I HEARD IT 🥰😍👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for react this 🤗
The OBSESSION album has an overall retro vibe! You'll be able to hear sounds from the 80s and 70s (from what I can hear at least 😅) I hope you'll have a lot of fun listening to the album! My personal favourites are Jekyll and Baby You Are 💖🔥
Umu geeking out over the yeahs is so adoreable
I just want Umu to do a whole dissertation on SM music tbh lol I'm sure it'd be fascinating.
I would watch that!
I've been waiting for this😭😭
sameee
I love Chen and Suho's vocals in this song. They really compliment each other well.
After a year of hearing you guys analyzing songs, I can confidently say that I still don't understand a thing😂 but I still love to listen and pretend I understand everything lol
YOURE ALMOST TO 600K. Early congratulations!!!! Love your videos
I loved how my reaction to the prechorus/chorus was similar to yours lol
Btw hoping for a reaction to the whole Obsession album soon... It is filled with some great music!
*Edit:* Umu can't release a reaction due to Exams but I do hope some of the songs make it to Classical Musicians React because they are so good!
Read the description. She can't.
Oh... That's fine too as long as she listens to it!
@@akshetamehrotra yeah... Unfortunately the time of this album when it's released isn't as ideal as someone like Umu to react to bcuz she probably is really busy now with her academic activities. Sad, I wanna watch her first listen too but we've to understand☹️
But I've a feeling that a few songs will be in CMR series. If Obsession is unique enough, it can be featured in the next video with other musicians. & if we're lucky we might get a vs video. Trouble & Jekyll have a lot of chance. Both songs sounds musically very interesting & unique.
Ang here we are again with the 4-5-1 chord progression that always sounds like a SM song if done by SM but never in any other agency.
yess,umu and kevin my favorite....don't forget first listen the album (obsession)
2:34 - 2:39
*Umu: "Is this the pre-chorus???"*
*EXO: i dOn'T tHiNk So*
EXO’s songs are just top quality, which is why I always look forward to your professional opinions regarding their songs. As always, they never disappoint. I just learn to appreciate their music even more.
My reaction was the same to Chen’s high notes! GOD HE WRECKED ME THIS CB!
Broo did Kevin just make a Run The Jewels reference? That’s a boss move
The more i heard this "obsession" i get obsessed. EXO has a LOT different genres, this is the REAL KING.
i'm so excited you guys reacted to this! your tempo reaction is probably my favorite kpop reaction, ever. please, react to the full album! baby you are and jekyll are my personal favorites~
As someone who only listen to spotify top 50, i approve this song.
It was super helpful that you played the parts you were referring to in the background!!!!! Thanks for adding those!! Great reaction =)!!!
This is what i love about musicians who reacts to exo, they didn't focus on the visuals but they are into vocals. They can hear every little details of the song.
yessss EXO never let us down. fresh and innovative as always!
The notif appeared and clicked it in just a second. That's how excited I am. Been waiting for this 😍👌
I appreciate and like the song more as I'm hearing it each day. I've waited for this comeback and your reaction too❤️
Yeah me to its just get better and better every time u hear it
I really love the reactions in this channel! Thank you!!!! I'm a fan! 💖💖💖
Finally, been waiting for your reaction♥️
IM REALLY GLAD SOMEONE ELSE FINALLY NOTICED THAT ALL THE LATEST SONGS BY SUPERM MEMBERS' GROUP HAS THAT EPICASS "YYYEAAAAHHHH" although i forgot that wolf and mama were the first dang exo trendsetters
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE MY DUDES. IT WAS WORTH IT.
I remember listening to this song for the first time and thinking "wow what a nice pre churus" and then getting confused bc it became the churus itself. I love how in this song they have a super heavy base and rap that make you expect that super hard instrumental break, but then it is actually a mellow melodic progression, a super twist! I mean, they do go hard but in a soft way... its amazing how that went
WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS
I love your reactions! It's great to learn what professionals hear in the song. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Yes I'm so excited that you're reacting to this!!!
umu 3:58 is me all the time
YEAA BOOIIII
thank you so much for react to this song :))) have a nice day!
EXO is always unpredictable. wbk
I so love the Umu and Kevin tandem. React to the whole album please. You'll love the songs! Jekyll, Non-stop, Ya Ya Ya and Groove.
I always LOVE getting your break down of the details that my untrained ear cannot perceive. Grateful for you all.
The reaction video that I’ve been waiting ❤️❤️ love from Philippines 🇵🇭
The last time I was this early, Kai had a black hair.
I've been waiting for this since Obsession came out! ReacttotheK is one of the best reactors ever!
Yiiiieh! I have been for your reaction 💕 As usual, we learned something new again. Thank youuuuu!
OMG finally. Dying waiting for this. Can't wait for your team to review obsession as well. Thank you so much
KEVIN IS MY FAVORITE IN CLASSICAL MUSICIAN!! he always explain with the simple language, so the people who doesn't understand music like me will understand it. Thanks Kevin!
saddddd :( the album is so musically interesting I was really looking forward to yalls reaction!! :( good luck on finals tho, that’s understandable
omg thank you for reacting to this!!
That late duet towards the end was when I decided I liked the song. It is a song that keeps you intrigued "like what am I listening to?".
Yeah and the best thing is thst this just get better every time u listen to it
BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSS
omg literally been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this! Thanks for another great video.
exo best discography in kpop exo only kpop group i take serious
We’ve been playing the where’s the chorus game with a lot of recent SM songs.
sm is experimenting as always and it always sounded so good
I love it as well
have been waiting for this since the release!
💖💖💖💖💖 I was waiting for this video, I love you! ❤️
I was waiting for this reaction since the MV came out!!
The more you listen to this song the more you obsessed with it!! Thanks for your reaction
Finally u guys reacted to this! Loving the react!xx
Umu got her second "was that the chorus?" Lol
3:50 5:17Thank you for noticing the extraordinary harmony there! Almost no other reactor noticed it! Only a musical genius could've thought of such a clashing yet weirdly coherent harmony.
The whole album is a fuxking masterpiece!
I really love your reactions as always
yesss thanks i’ve been looking forward to this! can’t wait for the album react
This is I can wait for so long! EXO is too smart to steal people heart with their music. When you say it's reaaly good, yeah, EXO is indeed great! React their whole of track, please! ^^ Thanks a lot, Umu-Kevin.
Omg you guys reacted to Obsession. I am so excited to watch.
HOLY shit this song hits me HARD!!! Exo's previous stuff is great and all but the recent releases especially this.. goddamn it hits different. It's like ice cold whiskey, the icy grooves hits you at first and then comes the warmth and it goes on and on.. This song is an experience, one that you slowly sip and savour its multiple levels, not chug it in hard.
for some reason i LOVE watching ur reactions even tho i barely understand what you are talking about throughout the entire reaction lol
One of the greatest reactions channel ever
Finally!!!! I've been waiting for thisss
i’m waiting for the whole album reaction!! both of you
Omg 😍I'm here and excited to see Te reaction 💓
I was so waiting for you to react this .
Thankyou
Omg finally!!! I was waiting so much for this 😭😭❤❤❤
Great 👍🏼 thank you both 😊.
idk but for me i interpreted the typical exo harmonies/softer sections with the piano and the harder/electric type sections as depicting the battle between the real EXO that we know and the darker X-EXO clones they were fighting in the MV (this is just my interpretation and what I thought of when I first heard the song)
you have to react to the whole album they're all amazing!!! each of the song sounds so different but at the same time they fit exo's style so much!
YAS I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Please react to OBSESSION full album 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sure you’ll like it~
Yes please it's pretty good
Yes, please!!!
I hope so. But the only thing that we know is that they won't be reacting to Butterfly Effect, Ya Ya Ya and Baby You Are :(
Oh nooooo!! Those are masterpieces, whyyyyy 🥺😔
@@rottenlorena Those 3 are my top picks ❤️🥺
I WAS WAITINGGGGGG FINALLY
