"If your playlist doesn't have 'Easy', unsubscribe"
As a big Easy enthusiast, valid opinion 👌
Hot people stan Easy 💅💅
Saw an interview with Mike Daley the other day, the man that created the beat for Easy. Just makes me more curious to see 3Racha work at these song camps that they go to.
As a Leeknow bias/ Easy supremacist... agreed
EASY SUPREMACY 🙏
Ugh I panickly checking my playlist for Easy. Fiuhhh... There it is, on the top 20
Your dog was looking at me the whole reaction LMAO
Not looking... judging.
Hahahahah
@@tonystocco The only thing Ollie is judging me for is being 1 hour late to the reaction 😭😭I'm sorry Ollie
@@tonystocco YEAH HAHAHAHAH
It’s Bang Chan’s brain you want into. He is the Master track maker of SKZ. Since pre-debut. The man is one of a kind musical genius. The other members can and do write music, but he is behind most of the tracks.
I would love to see them two having a chat about the music and music making process together. I have never seen anyone getting so many details of the music and I think Bang Chan would appreciate that too..
He listened to the weirdest songs and so was him 😂😂😂😂
@@elisabethmuellner1073 if you like this you should also watch Handsome Sausage reactions. Those guys are musicians and one also has a producing background. So if you have a musical background they get into the details of the exact note and chord progressions, etc. that we enjoy. Also they are native speakers so will correct some of the bad translations & talk about the meaning behind some of the Korean lyrics. Also big time SKZ fanboys. LOL
@@DOTTAVIO70I watch them too for the same reason. I love their interpations and a bit of history of why they used that sentence or terms. Makes me appreciate skz even more
God’s menu MV has literal pots and pans in it. Plus a construction site. The whole song/mv is a total clap back to complaints that they made “noise” music, or “construction” music. They totally embraced their sound, sent a big FU to the haters and went viral for Felix’s low voice compared to his face surprising the hell out of reactors worldwide. It was a breakthrough track in their history.
Also God’s menu has been credited in Korea as having been the origination of a new music genre, referred to as “Mala taste” which takes its name from a spicy seasoning.
Someone needs to make a petition for tony to interview chan, id definitely pay to see that
💯
Where do I sign? 🙌🏼
Agree!!!! Chan would love it I’m sure! And Tony you would be on cloud nine! I would pay to see the interview toooo!!!👍🏽😃
yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!! pleaseeeee....That would be the interview of the century...at least for STAYs...I really need this to happen for my mental health 😁
Someone needs to send Chan Tony’s TH-cam channel on bubbl or mention him in a fan call. (Although my suspicions are very high that Chan has already stumbled across Tony’s videos)
Tortoise and the Hare is kindof famous in the Korean rap world. If you ever watch a lyrics video, you'll see they have played with ALL KINDS of stuff in the song. Tempos, word play, opposites (rapping fast when the lyrics actually say to go slow, and vice versa), the singsong use of an old Korean children's fairy tale, and other things.
When it first came out, a lot of people didn't like it because it sounds SO very different than other SKZ music, and it freaked them out. But the more they listened and understood the cleverness of the writing and rapping, it developed a cult following.
I absolutely LOVE Tortoise and the Hare. Han wrote it super fast - I think I read something like.....in 30 minutes or less? Just brilliant.
It also gave us the iconic line of 'I know, You Know, We know, Lee Know'
@@DelphineMales exactly. 😊
I didn't know that I was part of a cult.😮 😊
@@vidiaparamaatmaseeker2130 - but what a fun one to be in!! (I'm right there with ya too, lol.)
The Han writing it in 15 minutes thing actually isn’t true, I think someone mixed up that with his maze of memories verse and posted the fact on tiktok and people ran with it. They’ve talked about writing it in the u.s on live before and they’re all credited on it!
*me after a long day, finally getting into bed at 5am:* oh boy i can't wait to sleep!
*after seeing that tony has a new skz reaction:* who needs sleep anyway
🤣
For me it was let me get back to that movie I was so into, and then this notification popped up... stop movie, start Tony/ SKZ album.
And my dessert was Ollie's cute face asking politely for a treat.
Lol I did the same thing, actually got into bed at 5am then noticed this had finally dropped so I went to get my headphones.
I had just woken up and had to get kids ready for school and stay to watch their play. As soon as I got in I logged into work and put this on. Watched it while "working" 🎉
Fell asleep early on the couch.. thank god actually or would have been up too late 😂 woke up to this!! 😂 had to skip ahead to God’s Menu or would of been late to work 😂 so happy with your reaction to God’s Menu!! Can’t wait for lunch break to start watching the rest!!
When you paused in the middle of Easy to whisper "These fucking guys" and then continued, I agreed. 😂
Wrote a really long comment for it to not save so now I have to watch this video again to try to remember it all😅 Here we go, attempt 2.
The “less” you’re hearing is more of a sign of them still being quite young here, less experienced and confident compared to now. I think you’ll hear it more as you go further back. The older songs are still good, but theyre running off of a much more raw skz, running hard to find their direction and fueling their music on passion and teen spirit. Go live and In Life were a turning point in the career because they made the decisive turn to do what they want and have fun with their music rather than collapsing under the pressure to conform. So you were right on when you said it was fun. There’s everything up to Go Live and In Life, those two albums, and everything after when I think about their sound.
These albums were released in the stretch of time after covid cancelled their tour. Instead of chilling, they grinded and grinded in the studio, taking advantage of all the time they had from performances being cut. I strongly believe thats why theres such an exponential growth happening here. They care a lot about improving instead of staying stagnant like many others do after reaching success, and its very satisfying as fans to watch them develop. Some groups start off the cuff with tons of highly experienced producers making their albums, which is fine, but it usually kills the ability to hear their growth as they age. SKZ trusted the process and trusted their passion, and its paid off beautifully. We have pride in their growth, they have pride in their growth. It also terrifies them, because they dont want to get in a place where theyre stuck and unable to get any better.
Otherwise, theyre mostly always touring or being very busy. During their last touring cycle they released oddinary right before they started, circus, maxident, the sound, & skz replay as they were touring, and then released 5 star soon after (and did a mini tour for that too!). Theres basically no time to sit on anything to grow, they have to learn only on experience. With that, they literally still release songs they made during covid 4 years later because they had made so many. According to them, at some point in that down time, they were all the way up to 10-15+ demos a week. The skill increase wasnt an accident.
Gods menu was a huge deal in its time. It still holds up, but there was nothing like it. Its really hard to explain how crazy a time it was for them. They were coming off some real lows losing a member out of nowhere basically, getting their tour cancelled, and losing momentum. This was a strike of genius and hope for them, and blew them into the stratosphere. Comparing where they were at before and after the release is insane if you were there. Both of Felix’s main parts in the song- but usually the 5 star michelin drop, went quite viral and is usually well loved by new fans. Especially in tandem with the music video. Its always, “wow his voice does not match his face.” It is so rare in kpop to have a voice like Felix. Music in general tends to reward male voices that can get really high, so theyre pushed to train their voices as high as they can get. Utilizing the bottom range of his voice and making it a staple in their music was so so smart. They love to pull on the “what can we do and find to be different” card. Utilizing their full vocal range from both ends of the spectrum was a great move.
And their Concerts are an experience, thats for sure. The stamina, the visuals, the dancing, changes to the live versions of their songs. Everything. Actually, they grew so much through the release of go live and in life after their first tour got cancelled, that their first concert dates back were extremely moving. It was a concert over 4 hours with a crazy setlist (many songs you know and love now) and ending with an incredibly emotional heart to heart with their fans as they were so overwhelmed seeing how big they had gotten in person for the first time. I have never seen anything like it, never witnessed a group of men be so forthcoming and openly emotional with their fans. Everyone was so touched and left raw after it. Truly an incredible moment in time to witness, even if seeing all that emotion could be uncomfortable for some. It was such a human experience in contrast with their super stardom. If you ever get the chance, on your own time or on camera (though it would have to be uploaded somewhere with less copyright and linked to youtube) the concert was streamed live like a televised award show performance event would be and reuploaded by octo stay on okru. Its maniac in seoul in may of 2022. Everytime I see that concert, I’m reminded how incredible they are as musicians and as a group of people. Their display of love and friendship towards one another as most of them got really emotionally was something else. I’ll never forget it.
-
Is “ex” a glow (light)stick song? No! Its a highly debated song among the group members due to allusions to cheating lol. They love to playfully argue about which characters in which songs (between ex, chill, and I like it) are worse. Hyunjin, the one who sings the possible cheating line, loses years every time he has to perform it. More likely for the members to throw hands than make it a light stick song😭
At the time, they talked about Back door being one of the quickest of their lead singles to start and finish from top to bottom demo wise. Coming in at 6 hours. They’ve finished their non singles faster, but for a major track this went smooth apparently.
Wow was a funny milestone, it was the first somg in their discography that 3racha wasnt part of. Why? Danceracha took the reins. Since then, there have been several songs with other members than 3racha responsible for, but it was the talk of the town at the time.
On their keen eye for detail, another day’s runtime is actually 2:47, or 24/7. It describes the monotonous day in day out experience struggling with depression.
Ta has been included in their setlist near the end of their concerts, but it wasnt on their setlist long. Had covid not ended their prior tour, I’m sure it would have been played more. They just have too many songs to choose from. They more often end with Haven and Star Lost. The dance practice/performance video for TA is very very fun, they were having a blast. If you ever wanted to get around to something a little different, its a great way to see their dance personalities.
And yeah, nothing quite like a Stray Kids outro. They actually talk about how important it is for them to consider the performance while theyre making their songs, which is a reason the songs explode at the end. The music break downs with little to no words, those are dance breaks.
As you give their songs a second or third listen, listen for their “p” and “b” and “d” sound emphasis as they rap, they go in when it fits. Playing with the “e” sound is usually a given, but the empasis on popping those consonants is wonderful on the ears.
Unnecessarily long comment, but it was a great album reaction with too many good points from you. So thanks
underrated comment
hope he reads this one! some amazing details here.
Wow really great comment! Even as a stay of 2 years I still feel like I learned something, or at least remembered something I forgot lol. I honestly live for long and passionate comments like this on reaction videos, cause if I could talk to anyone about stray kids this much irl I would lol.
Amazing comment❤
that Seoul concert in 2022 did something to me. I was a 6-month old stay at that time, watching them from a couch. one would think the atmosphere would be not as good as being in the crowd, but Chan's final speech (to which I can relate) and the way Felix kept crying for an hour...
for almost a week listening to Stray Kids songs immediately was pushing me in that state from the end of the concert.
it was an embarrassing time: I am on the bus to work, "god's menu" is blasting in my earphones and I am trying not to cry, because it would destroy my makeup LOL.
Sir, you are absolutely spoiling us! A good hour and a half of reaction to an amazing album, plus Ollie's cuteness staring at us from the background? Paroxysms of glee, I tell you!
Glad you enjoy!
@@tonystocco Okay, I had to circle back after finishing. I stay hoping that SKZ, and 3Racha in particular, have seen your reviews because the love you have for the music and the details you pick out for us make these album listens ridiculously enjoyable, thank you so much! I also hope you get to talk to them yourself at some point in time so you can get all of your (and our!) production questions answered, but in the meantime, you might find some details already laid out for you in their album Intros.
Re the album itself, thank you for pointing out the 80s/90s nostalgia vibe to it! It hadn't clicked before, but it definitely makes sense 😂 but now I want to hear them cover Extreme, and I don't know if that'll ever happen in this world or the next. Or hear Seungmin cover Open Arms, which would be really interesting - I think Han right now has more of a belter voice (say for Separate Ways), but they're both evolving their singing so much, who knows what the next few years will bring. And Chris did do Smells Like Teen Spirit for one of their Seattle shows, though, so you never know what they'll pull out for concerts.
The rawness/stripped down quality of this album compared to the others you've reviewed thus far I think has to do with that and with the fact that it's definitely an older album from when they really first cemented their musical identity. I think, though, that even though the sound is more lighthearted, that the content of the songs is as heavy or heavier in these earlier songs, but you only really get that part when you check the lyrics.
Yes, both Ta and Haven have been used as either show closers or encores, but the latter is more common since its sentimental for Stays. Miroh is another common closer, but I don't think you've gotten to that one yet.
Okay, enough of a missive. Thank you again for sharing these reactions (and the Ollie cameos) with us! Looking forward to the next exploration!
@@heatherharvey2558 When i saw them live, they ended the show with Haven, I started crying haha! 😭 Everyone were singing along, it was amazing. 65k people, wow.
@@Seungmins_miniverse omg, you got to go to BST Hyde Park?? Lucky Stay, that looked so amazing and I'm glad you got to be there with the guys! Fingers crossed you can catch them again when they come back for the proper tour 😃 I can only imagine how big the closer will be then!
@@heatherharvey2558 Yes! I hope so, it was amazing! 😁
49:30 whenever I’m driving my dad places, he always asks me to put on “the shit show song” lmfao it’s his favorite stray kids song
This is soo accurate lol...my mom refuses to accept that Changbin isn't saying shitshow
Glad I'm not the only one who hears "awesome 💩show" at the beginning 😂
I have been hearing “sh*tshow” myself since day 1 and I just cannot unhear it 😂
my husband sings along saying "awesome shit show"
I fully agree with your opinion on Easy. I don't need people who don't like Easy in my life
Easily in my top 3 (heh)
Hey funny seeing you here, I just saw you under the SKZ arcane short! But I completely agree with you. Easy is my bread and butter, I can't survive without it. Hooked from the first listen and easily in my top!
I knew you making a top 5 skz vid so early on was a bad idea 😂
🎯
you can have a rotating chart list like billboard sometimes old songs re-chart for some reason. ^_^
Okay, here’s some info for any coming reactions:
Album SKZ2020: Chan (the leader/producer/composer) had to reformulate 24 SONGS on this album to fit 8 people because the 9th member left. For people who say there were no sour feelings… Chan was sour, he overworked his ass.
Go Live: is basically the same album from IN LIFE except for 4 songs TOP, SLUMP, Mixtape: Gone Days, Mixtape: On Track
SKZREPLAY: lots and lots of solo, few duo/group songs.
The reason is because they have so many unreleased music on TH-cam that’s not streamable, so they make an album that has all of it.
I have a feeling they will be releasing another one soon because on TH-cam we are stacked with more than 20-30 unreleased songs that we can’t stream on Spotify or Apple Music etc. they release this randomly throughout the year when they feel like it. Some of the other members also produce their own songs.
yes, was going to say, should just do SKZ2020 and SKZ 2021 instead of the earlier albums.
Yes I need skz2020 ❤
ALSO IF WANT SO BAD DOESNT EVENTUALLY APPEAR ON SPOTIFY IM GONNA CRY
1:21:38 so, that high note... Han.
You are definitely attuned to the voice of our Han Jisung. You pick his voice out *a lot*. Granted, the man has a fair few epic vocal parts, especially considering he's one of the main rappers (and you notice him there too.)... but, ya know. 😊
Yep, started already in ATE, he tends to call out his parts the most I think ❤
i know you know we know LEE KNOW
so iconic
Babe get up Tony Stocco just posted a new reaction vid 😮
Edit: having an identity crisis at Ex because there's no switch up is so real 😞
Also maybe you could watch a Stray Kids guide if you want to learn about them. I think it would be cool to see you react to facts about them! 😼
Album rec: SKZ 2020 or All In 🤷♀️
😋yep
I wouldn't suggest a guide.
He appreciates the music more and they are more silly. I don't think he would enjoy it much.
I would suggest watching "Intro Videos for all the albums though because it's still about the music
@@lunaastrum9886I thought it would be helpful to gain insight into their lives, positions, and relationships within the group, but I'm happy with whatever content he decides to make!
@@AUDREY-w3wtrue, it's up to him
I adore Tortoise and the Hare and how much they played with it. I think one of the reasons I enjoy your reactions so much is how you make me notice new details and ask questions I never thought of. Thank you.
Thank you!
Everytime you say "these fuckin guys" i giggle like a schoolgirl 😅 because DUDE, i knowwwwwww
Same!!
Same!!!!
It is so crazy how almost 2 hours just flies by while listening to Stray Kids. 😊 Also I can totally see you loving Skz Replay specifically because the song Zone seeing how many 3Racha Unit songs have been your favorite. And Skz2020 specifically for My Pace, Side Effects, and Double Knot.
Thanks Teshurah. You're right about 3Racha!
Haven is often their closing songs for their live shows, but omg I love how much you loved this album!!! Han is often the culprit for those high notes, he's our ACE!
Sorry Im not able to go through the comments right now and see if this has been mentioned yet, but heres a little run down on the structure of this album. Everything from track 9 (gods menu) on were originally on the album “Go Live” which was their first studio album. God’s menu, the lead single, went very viral and was a huge point for them in popularity and in production. You can also definitely hear its influence in their era of kpop, other kpop producers have mentioned labels coming to them and asking them to produce something similar to that or Thunderous, but its really hard to recreate that chemistry in the way that SKZ have since the producers are people in the group that know the other members’ strengths so well and have spent years cultivating that sound.
Following that lead and momentum, they released a “repackage album” which is the kpop adjacent to a Deluxe album, about 2 months later. It combined 8 new tracks and most of the songs from Go Live, though they did exclude a few of them in “In Life.” Thats why its so long. Go Live is also infamously where the “pots and pans” hate started (though there was hate before about their sound) and the group in turn leaned into that sound more. “You dont like pots and pans? Great, now Im gonna taunt you with MORE pots and pans.”
The tortoise and the hare is the extended version of the somg “Go Live” on the album “Go Live.” It is an extremely hated somg outside of the fanbase, people going so far to use it as a way to prove why they “suck.” But it does make them look silly since the production is so advanced, creative, and experimental. Not just anyone could make this song. The members, especially laptop guy, are cheeky about the hate. If theres a what SKZ song would you recommend, whats your favorite, which one would you like to perform question, someone will usually mention ttath😭 The leader, in response to a hate comment towards it during a live stream, once played the whole song through while giggling about it. Hate their creativity? They do not gaf, theyre standing on business.
iconic!!!!!!
Thanks for the explanations. I'm a baby stay and was literally googling what's the different between In Life and Go Live before I watched this reaction and here you are answering my question when I couldn't find anything on Google. Your a star 🌟
1:21:30 - That would be Han. The rapper that forgets to breath and makes most on the jazzy tracks.
& Haven is actually their encore song ending almost all of their concerts. Also i feel the "fun" part. I like almost all of their music but their earlier tracks had some kind of youthfulness to them that i some times miss. My kids grew up
"Breathe my guy!" Han: naaaah 😂 (same guy who had the high note you pointed out in Phobia)
Listening to this album with you makes me realize that the music videos do an Amazing job visually representing the amount of sound and movement in the tracks. I dont get to hear it but i can definitely see it. The videos that line up with this album especially. Its so cool to listen with you and finally recognize that there are cool visuals that provide for me (heavily hearing impaired) the impact you describe in sound.....oh and gods menus: literal pots and pans in the video 😅
Swearing: the never 'swear' in music or concerts etc..... However most members are bilingual korean/english and at least Chan speaks english/korean/japenese so they play like mad with lyrics to add swears and word play that truly takes understanding both languages to fully capture. Thankfully there are STAY who point it out for monolingual listeners!
Haven is often an encore song. The run around like lunatics splashing water on the fans and each other lol like a bunch of little kids on too much sugar!
I think 3racha and Chan in particular would love your insight. The appreciation of the detail and noticing all those sounds. Chan is a perfectionist and has spoken about his keen hearing many times, and I think he would love to know someone is hearing the effort that has been put in.
Ollie has exceptional taste in Stray Kids albums
I feel like In Life is their defining album. They had just gone through the turmoil of losing a member, wondering how the fans would take it, then going into Covid and not really being able to promote or tour. I think they really threw themselves into one another and found their sound through that. To me, this album showed they were true professionals and would be the next leaders in kpop and their music would resonate worldwide. Everything just clicked for them during this album and I think the joy the album brings in every song is a reflection of that. Tony, you and I are probably around the same age and I can see where some of their sounds bring back nostalgia of our youth because I definitely get that as well from Stray Kids. I jokingly refer to Han as my Korean Steve Perry.
I keep watching your reactions. They are the best reactions to Stray Kids I have seen. Love them.
Thank you Mindy ☺️
Petition for Tony to check out the Lyrics for Tortoise and the Hare and the music videos for Gods Menue and Backdoor : Also I got so distracted by Ollie he is such a cutie!
I second that petition 🫡
I LOVE WATCHING YOUR WAY OF REACTING! It's a treat. Refreshing even. I love watching your face as you discover a new gem and eager to find out what I haven't heard yet in a song that I've listened to countless times. It tickles me, something you don't expect in the song and seeing your response to it!! I so hope that Chan has seen even just one of your videos. He'd be hooked, too. He likes good reactors.
Thank you!
Thank you for the reaction! Back Door is my all time favourite SKZ song!
The energy in the Back Door music video is absolutely unmatched, if you ever consider sneaking in another music video reaction haha!
Editing to add: the God’s Menu music video is crazy as well!
Thank you so much! 😊🙌🏻
@@tonystoccoNo problem, you deserve it! We all appreciate the time and energy you put into these reactions. :)
Yes to a Backdoor MV reaction!! My top fav too!!
@@tonystocco
Not sure if you’ll end up seeing this comment, but I came back here to recommend a video! Even if you just watch it in your own time. :)

It’s the TA dance practice video, and I know TONS of fans love it, because you can tell they’re having a blast dancing in it. Especially Bang Chan (the guy with the laptop🤣). He’s wearing a red beanie in the video and has a big, goofy smile plastered on his face for the entire duration of the performance.
Also, I think something I’ve come to appreciate so much about Stray Kids, is that they’ve clearly worked themselves to the bone to be incredible artists all around. Through watching your videos, I’ve really been able to dig into their detailed production, from live videos I’ve heard them work on and improve their vocals continuously, and through dance practice videos you can see them work at being talented dancers. All of them also have taken the time to learn Japanese and the majority know English fairly fluently as well (obviously the Aussies would already though haha). Some of them also have hobbies that they have worked on, and share with the fans, like Hyunjin, who is very talented at drawing and painting. I don’t know where they find the time in the day to do so much. As someone who is the same age as four of the members, I find it equally fascinating and inspiring!
I just about died when you mentioned them performing Another Day live. When you get a chance find the video of them performing it live on Idol Radio - you might die laughing. It’s one of the few times I’ve seen them completely fall apart and not be able to pull themselves together when something funny happens. They had to start the song over 😂
That performance is a fave.
@@temeculahulamomI actually paused this video to go watch it again because I haven’t seen it in a few weeks. Still hilarious. Will never stop being hilarious.
I cannot listen to Another Day without seeing that in my mind lol
Welp, I’ve never seen that video. More new, fun SKZ contemt for me to,discover! 😂
@@lilgwenchana”haven’t seen in a few weeks” is so real 😅 because it’s such a repeat must-watch! I just went to find it yesterday as it had been a while and I needed a good laugh ❤
TA is 100% one of the final songs at a show and it is absolute insanity in the arena when they perform this. Doesn't matter how tired you are, get ready to JUMP! 🥵❤
"More than words" Extreme
please, you can't deny that it's a beautiful song❤
EXTREME! Yes!
@@tonystocco is there a way to DM you on one of your socials? I've searched everywhere but didn't find.
Stray Kids are having a replay of their current Tour's first concert. The concert was live streamed by Beyond Live and is being replayed this week-end, Sunday 11AM korean time (that's 4 AM for me, and likely Saturday evening for you assuming you're in North America).
I have a ticket for the replay, that is available for 2 simultaneous devices, and I'm only using one. I'm willing to share the info with you so you can experience their music live with the 4 piece (heavy) rock band. It's a 3-4 hours show, and the video and sound quality on Beyond Live is fantastic, especially on headphones, it's immersive and cristal clear. You get to hear the bass with your guts ^^ and in your bones.
But it is sensible info I have to share since you have to enter with my Google account.
It really is an experience to see the energy and quality of these Kids' live performances, and it's really well conveyed with this platform.
The setlist contains mostly songs you know already, but in a much more beefy arrangement with the band, and some iconic songs* you haven't heard yet (but are gonna love for sure), and a solo each.
-Mountains
-Thunderous
- JJam
-District 9*

I'm just a DM away if you're interested :)
“More Than Words” is literally one of my favorite songs, I sing it out of nowhere all the time!
Also, “Another Day” is another song written by our one and only Han Jisung! The one with the high voice and refusal to breathe rapping!
Tony, you pause to your little heart's content. Its why we all came here in thr first place. We love your thoughts and sharing your perspective. 🙃
(I mean, I get a commenter being like, "😭 Seungmin's big belting note", but you backed it up, so... still respectful to the performance) . 😘
Tortoise and the hare is my all time favorite skz song and Ive been excited for you to hear the weirdness of this song and you did not disappoint
1:01:34 the thing about this album is that this was released when the whole argument about the “pots and pans” and “construction music” had begun and was growing. that’s why their next album was noeasy (noisy) and they became even more bold with their music ever since! love that for us tho we love pots and pans in here
When God's Menu came out, there was no place for 4th generation artists across the K-Pop Industry. (You probably don't know, but the K-Pop industry is divided into generations and Stray Kids is the biggest artist of the 4th generation and one of its principles). Until God's Menu came out, Stray Kids was a group that even Stray Kids' label didn't value and considered expendable, which is understandable since Stray Kids' label has been known for popular female groups for generations. But today, Stray Kids is one of the 4 most listened Korean groups worldwide and is expected to rise to the 3rd place by the end of the year and is also among the 3 most listed Korean artists in Spotify history and in the 2nd place🔥 is now one of the most consumed artists of his label and the kpop industry and he has achieved this only with his own labor. He proved that you can be successful without conforming to popular western music trends and he is very popular especially in Europe, America, Japan, Latin countries and Russia.
Everytime i look back in their past i become more proud of them stanning Stray Kids was the best choice i did in my life
Lol I laughed at glow sticks oh man that was great. They are lightsticks we also decorate them with bows and rhinestones etc as well. It took me around 7 hours of Rhinestoning to complete just one of my lightsticks for a concert.
Oh crap LIGHTsticks. I'm going to get murdered in the comments.
@tonystocco I loved you called them glow sticks i thought it was great. Everyone thinks you're great you've been hot topic in a couple discords and fb groups so this will be something we just chuckle at.
Not us Stay taking glowsticks to concerts now instead 😂😂. We totally would just to clown around
@@indianagirl00I need to know where I can get in on these conversations! 😁
44:00 "get your glowsticks" when i tell you i LAUGHED🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good! Glad somebody is laughing 😆
This month marks my one year of being a Stay. Watching you has made me appreciate their music in a new way and I love your reactions. Keep doing what you want and how you want. Watching the music videos or knowing all of their names doesn’t matter cause you appreciate their music and that’s what makes a Stay. Also Ollie has great taste in music if this is what he picked out!
53:52 i heard it so much live all i can hear is hyunjins ear shuttering "NEEEE SOOONIIIIIIIIM!!!!!" at that part in my brain😂😂😂❤
despite recent developments, i still only hear the lazy version... cracks me up every time lmao
I’m actually watching your reaction for the second time 🙄 cuz I watched it today in sections (commuting to work, then on my coffee breaks then commuting home… ) I couldn’t wait till I got home from work 😂 I want to comment on everything but then this would be a really long fucking comment and you already have a billion comments here 😮 I’m just gonna say: yes finally God’s menu reaction, but Easy was my favorite reaction 😂
I’m sure you were told this many times already but your facial reactions are the best. Always on point 🤭
Thanks Nina - Glad you enjoyed!
this album is special, it’s the one that made skz more well known and attracted a lot of their fans today
1:21:39 that’s Han, he’s an amazing rapper and vocalist (part of 3racha), he does a lot of the high notes, the one near the end of Falling up too
One thing about k-pop idols being producers/composers/songwriters(like straykids or 3racha) is that the companies don't ever give them any way to dicuss in detail about their way or production or thought process behind those small details although we do get crumbs sometimes of them talking about specific songs and it's production etc (which is also in their album introduction video but the one you reacted to was recording video🤓) i feel like not many people are interested in the small details in their production which they deserve alot of recognition for, BUT THANKS TO YOUR AMAZING REACTIONS alot of people are finally noticing how good they are!!!
Anyone thinking kpop is bubblegum pop music teenage girls listen to for the cute guys.. We're actually in it for the music. Every genre and major creativity. Insane beats, amazing dancing. Helps the guys are easy on the eyes, super talented, extremely hard working, incredibly humble, spreading positivity, are actually like a family, care about their fans a lot and are actual comedians aswell. Sharing that love and the music with other fans and new people is just amazing. Following these 8 men is so inspiring. They give me so much motivation. Every time I listen to their music I hear and see new things. It's an incredible journey. I've neve really had role models before in celebrities I didn't know in real life. These guys are my role models.
47:10 Actually i've seen skz do vocally heavy songs with a rap verse in there, cuz why not. My favourite is "Want so bad" Han's rapping with Lee know busting the vocals was so good
Love the reaction as always, new stays 🤝god's menu. Lovely dog btw :))
omg i totally forgot what an amazing album in life is! been obsessed with their new records that this absolute masterpiece left my mind for a sec. reminded me when i first discovered them and this was their most recent album at the time. AMAZING ALBUM FR
I just hope Bang Chan sees your videos. I don’t think anyone ever listened to his (well, 3Racha’s) music so attentively.
Tortoise and the Hare were reacted to by Classical musicians and they were blown away! There’s also someone in there who broke it down and say they were geniuses for creating it. They even have bits in there where they are singing/rapping about being fast and they made it in slow tempo and vice versa. Really playful song that displays once again how great they are at what they do! Thanks for reacting to this btw! 💖
*during we go*
Tony: take a breath, dude
Han: nah… thanks tho!
Easy is in my top 3 favorite SKZ songs, ever.
The doggo as the background is so cute
Ikrr
As a writer, lyrics tend to be a focus for me, so it’s refreshing to find someone focusing just on the sounds, the engineering, and pointing out details. Thank you.
If you were thinking that We go was 3racha than you were correct.
God's Menu was a reset for Stray Kids and many felt for Kpop as well. Some many were trying to re-create the moment the song created. SKZ and Stays felt that God's Menu was really them.
TA means everything in Korean. Sadly they don't perform this song often. Haven was one of the songs that would close out there Manic tour along with FAM.
it was included in a medley in the Maniac tour.
You always point out Han's vocals and highnote I think we have another Han biased person in the fandom😂
Quick rundown of stray kids:
They all can rap.
Bang Chan: leader-3racha vocalist and rapper. His sound is the English more in your face blunt. Broad shoulders and short hair.
Changbin: 3racha-main rappers. His sound is usually more gravely and more staccato. More old school sounding than Han. Most buff of the group, but short. Does cutesy stuff all the time.
Han: 3racha- main rapper and high vocalist. His rap sound is usually more melodious and quick. Slim, short, and muscled arms. Very small waist.
Seungmin: main vocalist- his sound is the most of the melodious sounds in any song from stray kids. Usually dark hair, least muscled of the group, and a puppy looking face.
Felix: danceracha-vocalist and dancer. He is the very deep voice you hear. Blonde, angel/sunshine looking with muscles. Usually the main one to show off his muscles on stage.
Hyunjin: danceracha-vocalist and dancer. He also raps a lot. His sound is the more gangster sounding rap. Very slim but muscled, large lips and usually dark hair. Tallest of the group.
Lee know: danceracha-vocalist and main dancer. He does alot of the English lines in the songs. His sound is more American singer in his tone. Usually brown hair, catlike features and usually looks like he is the trouble maker.
I.N: youngest of the group-vocalist and dancer. His sound is very unique. More nasal sounding than the rest of the group. Round face large mouth. Buff now. Medium height in the group usually dark or brown hair.
Well, I was supposed to,go,to,sleep exactly one hour, 38 minutes and 35 seconds ago. But here I am discovering THREE more songs to put on my playlist.
I’ve never listened to this album as a whole before, I’ve only listened to the tracks mixed in with all their other music. However, I somehow didn’t give three of them a proper chance previously. Wow, this album is just crazy-amazing.
The fact that Han wrote the tortoise and the hare in 15 minutes and it is supposed to be an experimental song. And the laughs at the end of the song 😭, they had fun with that one
This is actually a fake fact that people somehow have run with!! He wrote his maze of memories verse in 15 minutes and maybe that’s where the confusion is. But they’ve talked about writing this in the U.S while they were out there on song camps. All 3 of them are credited here, but easy mistake
not done watching yet but the fact that you pointed out the TV static in We Go is INSANE!!! i've literally seen this song performed LIVE and they performed WITH A REMOTE IN HAND and i never noticed this!!! This is SO SO COOL TO ME NOW! Thanks Tony!
Haven is the closing for many concerts but another tidbit is that "Haven" was almost the fandom name. We ended up being called "Stay" as the Reason (take out the R from Stray) for Stray Kids existence. Another great reaction and opportunity to hear these songs afresh. Thank you!
i'm a simple person, i see tony stocco and i click
49:42 "do they ever swear?" well,, um,, you see *hides "our dish so bussin"*
no, but fr the companies don't want them swearing, but they will put in lhrics sonetimes that with their accents sounds very close to swearing
Reminds me of watching Chan's reaction to Xdinary Heros Freakin Bad!!
Ahh the famous "if you seek me why owe you"😂😂❤ @@rraine4195
@@rraine4195😂😂😂
Also...All bets are off during live performances for Han 🤣. He hasn't said Dish since he recorded that song lol.
They've also gotten the audience to swear on behalf for them (*cough cough, Kim Seungmin)
The Tortoise and the Hare is an EXPERIENCE 🤯🤩😻
And Easy is by far one of my favorite SKZ songs 😎 Love the choreo as well (I’d recommend the dance practice video for that).
Tortoise and the Hare is a masterpiece 👌🏻
T & H, I love that the fast parts are usually talking about slowing down, and slow parts about going faster. But, both parts technically have the same pacing.
I can’t handle how cute your dog is
I'll always support you 1000% on the bass. As a bassist myself, I can only agree their basslines and tones are killer. I've even gone as nerdy as to research which tracks had a real bass, and which tracks had synth/programmed bass. On their whole discography (before ATE). We talking 150-200 songs.
WE LOVE SKZ BASS
And?...which tracks have real bass?
(Former bassist also keen to know).
Btw, I think Tony is also a bassist...somewhere out there in the Megaverse.
I remember Tony not liking the autotune when he started listening to skz but it seems he now gets that they use it for deliberate effect. Would be interesting to hear how his thoughts have changed since listening to Ate.
Han, rapper, hitting the impossible high notes like a fucking nshfhsjd
Seriously, Han's high notes and Lee Know's falsetto give me life. I dont care how dramatic that sounds. I really dont. Bc holy fucking shit these guys are 8 weird little anomalies in the universe that some how came together and changed how I experience music.
This album was my first album from them and as you can see, i feel very strongly about it.
Makes sense to me
SKZ used Haven as their closing song at Lollapalooza and it was awesome. You should watch a live performance sometime. The energy on the albums is great but nothing compared to live with a live band.
I looove how the doggo pic is just chilling in the middle of the frame 😂😂
We Go - our epic 3Racha members (producers and rap monsters)
Wow - the fabulous DanceRacha subunit
& My Universe spotlights the two youngest members aka VocalRacha...
It was so great to see your reaction to Easy.... It will always have a permanent spot in my top 10 for them...
crash test dummies?! [I guessed wrong.... it was Extreme !]
From clips I've seen, it seems like Haven is the song they usually close down concerts with, although that may have changed as they have released more Stay-based songs since this.... A SKZ concert is on my win-the-lottery-bucket-list.
Ollie deserves a whole box of treats for picking this! What a great time! I have spent the last three weeks mumbling to myself every time Easy came on my playlist: “Tony has to listen to this!” This entire album reaction was “Chef’s kiss!” ❤❤
I really need you to watch a lyrics video for Tortoise and the Hare to fully appreciate it!!! It’s weird and wonderful!
Clicked for Ollie, stayed for the quality reaction 🔥🔥
I was so excited to see you posted! Thank you for another reaction especially to The Tortoise and the Hare, also B Me is a personal favorite of mine lol. Bangchan created a track for fun while live streaming once, but he was so focused you mostly just a get look into his process rather than a play by play 😭
Not just that but also the one for CHANGBIN. And the EDM he did for LEE KNOW lol ... Both so so so good all done on his lives
Also Haven IS the closing song!
Pathetically happy that you liked God's Menu. If you decide to sneak in another video reaction, that'd be the one. Although they have fun with it live, too.
At gigs, the fans take on the swearing duties 😂
The MV and a recent live like from Lolla would be great @tonystocco!
You are right in so many aspects.
Haven became SKZ last encore at the Lallapalosa in Chicago this summer.
Easy is easily my favorite as well, but the coreo and MV look cool and laid back but are far from easy.
The word play in Tortoise and the Hare (from the old fable) is witty and smart. "This is so fast.", but the actual lyrics are "Slow, slow, slow, slow....." and the ending a famous Korean nursery ryme.
Gods Menu - Here you have your pots and pans visually in the MV. The world play here is just fenomenal.
I think I could say that Gods Menu and In Life were their great break through.
I think you by now have established yourself as one of the most interesting reactors to SKZ on YT. Thank you! 🙏
Ahhhh this was everything I hoped for and more!!!! As always, thank you for truly taking the time to appreciate each song, whether it's a track you immediately like or one that simply impresses you for its musicality and artistic value. I'm glad you pointed out how deliberately they end each song; it demonstrates such commitment to the craft and reverence for every second of every song. I think it's why the only complaint I ever have for SKZ songs is that they are too short!! But I also appreciate how much respect they have for the fans-even more, how much they value the time of any listener and would never waste a second of it.
I'm so glad this album was such a hit for you!! It's been a joy and privilege to accompany you on this SKZ journey and I can't wait to see what you discover next. 🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️.
any is what brought my peak interest in stray kids, i already liked songs since their debut but any really pulled it together for me
The band was "Extreme" (Another Day). The way the guitar riffs were played.....🙂
Another Day is an outstanding song. It once more shows the versatile music of the guys.
I am so thankful, I "stumbled" over their music 1 3/4 years ago. ....SKZ saved me. Made my late life enjoyable again.🩷🌸
Btw.....if you like to know, what they play in a live show, please react to SKZ Lapalooza Chicago, you won't regret.
And often "Haven" is the last song they play 😊
I watch the TA dance practice like once a day. No joke, it literally hypes me up. I love that video so much. Just seeing them dance around and have fun is something I enjoy.
I hope you continue this journey!! Skz Replay, SKZ2020 and SKZ2021 are both amazing. Plus... they have a very short Christmas Album lol
this!
Its occurring to me that a good part of the charm behind tortoise and the hare is the wordplay... palli (long slow word) means fast or faster, and neuryo (super short clustered together) mean slow or slow down.
Han wrote Tortoise and the Hare in 15 minutes! So yeah it was very experimental, but I love it.
This actually isn’t true, people got this mixed up with his maze of memories verse and it spread somehow. They wrote this in a U.S. song camp session and have talked about the process on live. All of 3racha are credited on it.
After watching Tony‘s vids I get a new appreciation in the layers of the sounds; I wait for each new Reaction he releases
Ollie is so cute omg I love seeing his cute lil face on the screen!
In Life is one of my fave albums for so many reasons. It would definitely be a bad album to take acid and listen to, but that's what makes the album fun lol!
So Bang Chan actually has very sensitive ears and he can tell if an instrument is out of tune in an array of instruments which is crazy. So he very much pays a lot of attention to the different sounds, production, and effects he uses. He is a perfectionist and makes sure his vision comes to fruition with the help of his 3RACHA bros Han and Changbin. I would love to see Chan answer all of the questions you ask because they're so insightful and would dig deeper into his process
Oh also Haven is used as an end of concert song which is a crowd favorite 😌😌
“That could be the closing song” sir you are 100% right. It IS the closing song for their concerts/shows!! Waiting for the new top 5 song selection lol
Glad you like it! And I agree, I've been thinking this for ages but skz' style seemed to change a little starting with Noeasy. It's hard to put into words but In Life like you said has less crazy beat switch ups but it still has the weird sounds and interesting instrumentals, plus they're just so well crafted. From Noeasy it got a bit more experimental, and from Maniac even more so in my opinion.
I was always kind of scared that following their success they'd do what some other groups have done and change to fit the western audience. But damn skz, they did the opposite and got even crazier. I can always trust them to deliver
Awesome reaction as always! Just a quick heads-up if you’re thinking about reacting to "GO LIVE " album next.
Since "IN LIVE" is a repackaged version of "GO LIVE", it has most of the main "GO LIVE " songs, but not all. You can either listen to the full "GO LIVE " album or just check out the 5 songs that aren’t in "IN LIVE":
- “Go Live” (a short intro song that was later extended to be "The Tortoise and the Hare")
- “Top” + “Slump” (both soundtracks from the Tower of God anime, same series SKZ worked on recently with “Night” and “Falling Up”)
- “Mixtape: Gone Days"
- “Mixtape: On Track”
The rest of "GO LIVE " (starting from “God’s Menu” to “Haven”) is already in "IN LIVE".
Up with this relevant comment!
There's some underrated gems on this album for sure. Thank you for checking it out!!
This was so good. Was I up till 1 am watching? Absolutely. Was it worth? Hell yeah! Thanks Tony!!!
Vi tu reacción de casi 2 horas jajaja
Me encanta que veas cada detalle de la producción, que es lo que nos hace disfrutar tanto su música. Sigue así!
¡Dos horas es mucho tiempo! ¡Gracias por ver y comentar!
33:16 😂 "Take a breathe dude". Funny you say that, because I'm pretty sure he currently holds the record for the longest sustained rap verse without a breath.
Hands down one of my favorite albums. So many underrated songs. I know God's Menu brings a lot of people in, but there are so many other great tracks.
Don't ever worry about pausing in "the right spot". Like you said, I don't know if there ever is a good time to pause. The music just keeps coming at ya. Just enjoy, and you do you! Thanks again for your reaction! ❤️🤗
I have been recommending "The First Take" of "Mixtape: OH" a few times now. Now that i hear you really like the song i do hope you check it out. Its a one-take live performance of the song with quality equipment. There's no room for messing up. I heavily recommend it again.
