Omg pls u have to show everyone muddy water and charmer
Pleaseee react Ive Love Dive
Please react to their oddinary album b-sides! Venom, Freeze, Charmer and Lonely St are dope!
please react LOVE DIVE by IVE
can jason read 3racha's mind? he's so on point EVERY TIME. ALSO , the violin and keyboard bit was PEEERFECCCT. catches all the nuances of the sounds.
I hope Bangchan watch this sometime :-)
@@camoo4346 he 1000% will watch this. Man’s everywhere 👀
@@camoo4346 bang chan have been vocal about watching this channel’s reaction to their songs so yeah he’d probably watch it
@@cheolluvr2951 Chan’s always watching 👀😂 but yes Chan watches a lot of reactions so he for sure will watch this considering how in depth they go into the music!
@@camoo4346 i mean he alr did some sort of shout outs to them couple of yrs ago so.. yep.
congrats to 3racha. They have made something that has stumped classical music students and forced them to revisit and reanalyze the same part multiple times just to get it.
It's really interesting to see the growth of Stray Kids' production and the deep interest the entire cast of CMR has in these videos. Wonderful job.
More like versachoi and bang chan because they made the instrumental
HA HA, MANIAC
i, too, am never prepared for felix's low voice
seeing people react to his voice and being surprised by it gives me an unhealthy amount of serotonin!
I have grown used to hearing his voice now
@@britayni same their reactions are so priceless
Listening to this explanation, we can see that producing a song is really hard. But 3racha nailed it as always 👏 super creative 🔥
Yea....makes me wonder. Does 3racha tackle songs the way these classical musicians do? Or do they just go with their gut?
@@moodyblue_ bang chan is the one that produces the songs along with another producer and then 3 racha writes the lyrics so i guess bangchan and the other producer change ideas
STUMPING THEM IS TOO EASY = BECOME A STAY AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT ALL
about the song not being as loud/explosive as maybe expected: I don't think Stray Kids have talked about this directly but you could also interpret it as fitting in with the album theme. As in not being ordinary and subverting expectations, most people (especially those not as familiar with the group) associate Stray Kids with "noise music" which they also played on with the title of the last album, NOEASY. It's really smart to go away from that and do something more subtle this time around
This. I don't think it's meant to be crazy. Instead of the play on ordinary meaning CRAZY I think it's like "your ordinary is that... my ordinary is this. YOU think my ordinary is weird, but that's because you are a drone and I'm an artist." Artists are kinda used to going through life knowing everyone thinks they are a little off. Once we embrace that though and just run with who we truly are some pretty amazing things happen.
And not to go off on the whole 'Korean culture is suppressive' thing but as an artist growing up in a conservative family I imagine that message is not only more poignant where they are standing but also much more important for people to hear. Often I sort of feel like my responsibility as a creative is to hold space for the 'B side' personalities of normal people. Like if you're an accountant because it's the responsible choice or because your family expected it of you and you've always wanted to know what it's like to dress a bit crazy, or go to a music festival, or paint something... but it's super outside of your comfort zone... I can create that space for you and you don't even need to tell anyone if you don't want to. Some people are legitimately afraid of their creativity. I think as artists they aren't just saying HEY LOOK HOW COOL WE ARE, WE'RE IDOLS ...I think they put a lot of effort into saying Hey, look how cool being creative is. Doesn't this look like fun? It's totally ok to have fun too sometimes.
@@LaughingInTiny Wow, what a description. Thank you 👏👏👏
Yes! I see it this way as well. If i remember correctly, Hyunjin said that they wanted to show yet another different side of stray kids, more of a "cool" side of them with this comeback.
I think it's pretty cool how they took the message of their album and title track and went in an "unusual" way, not the way people would expect them to do it, like you (op) said.
The question is. What are we gonna hear next time? 👀👀
Oi Bangchan, if you're lurking, here's a reminder that we see and appreciate all the work you put into these tracks. Stray Kids, 3racha and Chan's room literally gave me a deeper understanding on the behind the scenes of making music
And channels like React to the K are a gem for this industry! Sending lots of support
Lmao...I really love how you casually just assumed that Chan would be lurking around here somewhere...haha
@@faihashirin8547 I mean, he has pretty much established that he watches most reaction videos done on their comebacks, and with RTTK he
1) has met and recognized Umu
2) shouted out the anniversary medley
Meaning he’s likely subscribed :)
I think it's like that he has already read this comment 😂
I just read this in Australia accent just coz jt said oi first😂😂😂
8:03 everytime he tried to play the melody but had it wrong and just went "no-" I just died laughing KAHSKAHDKAD
I love when elements (esp melodies) of a beat are offset from the grid! Super common in hip-hop and bounce music, I noticed Stromae was doing it in his recent album as well. Also I'm so obsessed with the birds/drill thing - it's almost cartoonish as a motif but simultaneously badass. I feel like 3racha have really stepped up their game lmao
They also used some animal sounds in Miroh
@ibrahim off topic but I was wondering why your yt channel looked familiar, then I came across world at peace on your homepage. your music is fire!
Just the fact that every single SKZ title track is interesting enough (from a musical standpoint) to be reacted to on here is very high praise 🥰 I'm so proud of them for making music that's so creative and out of the box!
And the fact that members actually work on making the music💪
I'm a proud stay. They produce new things without running the thing they are making. They are the true meaning of talent and creativity.
THAT CHORUS ooohooooo makes me howl at the moon; phrygian dominant used at best - they made it sound sooooo cool and not cheesy or too ethnic. FANTASTIC WORK, SK productions are always incredible. Probably my favourite release this year! Sorry I had to react to your reaction cause I love this song so much 🔥🔥🔥
RIGHT?! 🙌 haha happy to see your reaction here~
"too ethnic" ???
@@aliensuperstar1689 i think they mean not a fully ethnic song using culturally relevant instruments and stuff like that
@@aliensuperstar1689 Phrygian dominant has so much flavour and you'll immediately feel you're in some Arabic country listening to their folk music, if that makes sense, but SK blended it in with their own hip hop style so well
*Lmao that transition from Umu to Ju young at **3:07** is HILARIOUS*
As someone who plays by ear (piano) and dabbles in guitar and some string instruments, and as someone who has synesthesia (auditory related) it’s so satisfying to hear the Classical K reactions that explain why these songs are so good or how they layer sounds in music to create an effect or response to the listener! Thank y’all for these because it puts words to my experience (which I can’t explain musically only in colors and sensations)
Maniac is soooo addictive! I really love how even after streaming it a lot it just doesn't get boring. Not to mention that I love the lyrics.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work and effort goes into making and especially editing these videos? From the wonderfully insightful reactions and analyses of the reactors to Umu's research into the song beforehand and whoever does the amazing editing. Everything is such high quality. Thank you so much for bringing us such entertaining, educational and awesome content. Love you all so much 💜
🙏❤️
This is so SATISFYING cause here i am bored inside the bus going back to my hometown, and THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR AND YOUR REACTION IS SO INSIGHTFUL AND AMAZING, AS USUAL. Hopefully bang chan already watch this before his weekly vlive 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Safe trip!
Selamat mudik
The thing for self produced songs are more of like stanning a literal all rounder group of artists. Like if you stan the artist you alrady stan the producers, because i know everyone likes some songs because of the instrumentals that the producers produced but you don't necessarily stan tne producer.
The poppin part of Changbin, your reactions are the same with almost all reactors. Im so happy you reacted to this. Because the intrumentals are so perfect for you to react.
I can already tell Chan is going to LOVE watching this reaction 😄
I just know Bang Chan will be watching this as soon as he finds the time to check his youtube notifs~
3racha and stray kids as a whole is very talented!
a whole new maniac challenge with felix voice 😂😂😂🤭
New tiktok challenge
13:30-14:10 is probably my favorite part of this because it feels like he's concisely highlighting one of the most distinct and satisfying characteristics (for me) of SKZ's overall approach to music. It's _not_ safe. It's _not_ standard. There's risk in deviating from the norm. And they not only make it work, but embrace is and make it a core element of their sound.
Just when you think every reactor has imparted every thought and detail on this comeback, rest assured R2TK just blow my mind with reaction and comment on the structure, the techniques used, the form of musicality and sheer detail on the composition.
I doth my cap once again....
Definitely BangChan needs to react to all this reaction!!!!
And SKZ drop a total genius album.. Every song is a classic, no filler, all thriller !!
this album made me so so proud it's a masterpiece. they're always amazing but this was so next level
i feel like 3racha's process on music creation starts with a dot then gradually expanding that dot into a whole painting if that makes sense. It's like, they will use one sound or object as the core and then expand that core by cooking it up, combining, layering it with a more complex beats in the same range and then interchanging one another to create a more complex sounds but still within the core. I hope i'm making sense. And i love that they use actual sounds of things from the environment.
Y'all need to react to Venom and Charmer. The bsides in the oddinary album. The instrumentals are crazy.
I need ReacttotheK crew and Stray Kids in the same room so bad!
*They'll probably imitate Felix's low voice in chaos*
Praying that it will happen when they're in the US between tours! 🙏🙏🙏
Outside of all the amazing insights and musical analysis… the EDITING on this had me hunched over laughing so hard 🤣🤣 props to Umu you did a mighty fine job here 👌🔥
They spent 3 days deconstruct Maniac while I pictured 3racha deconstructing Maniac for year end special stages (SKZ specialty and trademark).
I was waiting for this and as always your reactions don't disappoint: the analysis and thoughts are super interesting and your editing is so so so funny, I died from laughter!!
Honestly I love the different parts of the song, the production and the synths especially. I love also that they always have a clever use of FX.
The jumpcut between verse and chorus to show swung/not was so jarring like, I knew they were obviously quite a change but it just hits different hearing it that way!
It is when you guys react to Stray Kids that I start to miss Charlotte react with you guys.
we miss her too 🥺❤️
It does sound very middle eastern, which is so interesting. It’s cool to learn about phrygian dominance, I didn’t know there was a specific concept that gave off this specific sound.
The editing is sending me to the moon lmao. I do love watching you all replicate songs with your instruments and I love how y’all interpreted the song’s message. I loved this whole album but this song was definitely a fun title track.
I agree with Kevin, that I was expecting a little more from the last chorus the first time I heard it. But still I love this song and I can’t wait to hear it live this summer! They never cease to amaze me with their writing and production.
Update: Just scored tickets to their Seattle show! See y’all in July baybeeeeeey
19:11 that melody on keyboard sounded soo good! i wish we had instrumental covers from you guys😩😩 i would listen to it all day😩
Musicians: It goes hard...
That's all folks!
6:52 "More authentic when it goes straight 8s" coincidentally SKZ are a 8 member group. Idk why i'm pointing it out but I just found it interesting
I ALWAYS DEAD ON THE HILLARIOUS EDITS OF THEIR DISTORTED FACES 😭🤣😭🙏🏻
That Felix-but-with-Kevin's-face edit is SICKKK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When I saw skz is their own genre I mean skz is their own genre. They’re so creative and always thinking outside the box when making music it throws musicians, including me, off in a good way! 3racha and skz you will always be famous 😌
as a muscian who also likes breaking down music w/ my brother (also plays) every time we break down music or just talk about we geek over and then run to grab our instruments (me piano and alto sax, my brother guitar) and we geek over chord progression and what not and its so fun- so everytime i see you guys run to grab your instruments to play and understand the music makes me giddy too because im also geeking out lmao
Is Jason the fourth hidden member of 3racha? He's always on point with the interpretations!
Their explanations are so educational. I always learned something from them. They not only react, but they also discuss.
- I wish that you get to interview 3racha in the near future.
- I wish that you also react/discuss Stray Kids song CHARMER from the same album ODDINARY.
Yeah please react to Charmer.
they are gonna kill the bird with that thing I- 😭
THE EDITS YOU ALL HAVE GIVE THIS SO MUCH FLAVOR 😳 3:06 I LOVE IT
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTIONS. THANK YOU UMU FOR THE QUALITY CONTENT
Extradinary 😆😆 Kevin. anyways the whole review is so cool specially the explanation on the separation of music between the verse & chorus. 12:52 I always watch your reactions cuz it was very educational for everyone who is interested in music.
Honestly I wish I had one frickin’ ounce of passion and sense for details like they have. It’s fascinating to watch how they’re so invested in what they do, really looking forward every time they react to stray kids 🙏
Omg I've never been so EARLY. Hyunjin slayed this so hard. Also, I loved your bird-and-drill edits 🤣 got me snorting so hard lol
EDIT: Jason seems tired. Is he ok?
Sent this comment to him! 🥺 he says it's been a rough semester at school but things are slowly getting better ☺️
@@ReacttotheK aww, that's relieving to hear! Hope he can rest soon :)
as someone that have synesthesia (taste related) it’s so interesting how these different flavors are explained in a musical standpoint to me. and somehow it clicks in my mind! Kudos to you guys & 3racha for all these hard work! Really amazing piece, the whole album is a whole buffet (for my senses, literally!)
As someone who has no idea about music theory and production this was super interesting. I'd be lying if I'd say I understood everything you were saying, but I learnt a lot of new things about a much loved and listened to song, so thanks
completely lost it at 9:20, i love how much they were clearly enjoying that, and the editing was hilarious
this song goes so hard the prechorus is like perfect anticipation building and then the chorus is just completely subversive i love it
p.s. ik ur watching this bang chan
Just found you but love the sheer musical analysis , so fresh perspective
Everyone: (knows it's good)
Classically-Trained Musicians: Tells us _why_ it's good.
This is why I love listening to an analysis done by trained musicians.
Skz world domination 🙌🏼♥️
This album is so amazing. Refreshing. Fun! Cool. DEEP and meaningful!
Best album of 2022 so far and one of my faves from Skz!
just wanted to quickly point out that Umu and Chan are matching hai colours! it's very cool
I've watched the MV dozens (if not hundreds) of times, but I didn't realize until it was in a tiny video on my phone even tinier that a couple members are clipping CG thread with their choreo in the MV (specifically Felix)
I always end up feeling like such a genius after watching your videos. The way you explain everything is just so mindblowing to me. I always feel like im learning something. Also top notch editing!
Stan Talent Stan Stray kids
ReacttotheK reaction videos are always one of my most anticipated reaction videos whenever a group I like has a new release. Its amazing how you guys can break down the song in such a short time and come up with new interpretations of different parts of the song. I watched all of your skz reactions (and rewatch them every now and then too) and I feel so oddly proud (?) to see how much this channel has grown just from that time. Thank you for the time and efforts you guys put into these videos!!
Umu saying Bang Chan, Chan, Han but the image is Han covering Changbin's face ㅋㅋㅋ. And that Bang Chan's way of censoring fck hahaha. (Hello Chan if you're reading comments and see this 👋🏼)
SKZ music always good sht 👍🏼
13:02 it was introduced by a bird then a drill
Idk why it cracks me up skjdksjsjsjs
this comment is bang chan and umu blue hair appreciation post
I really wanna see the musicians reacts to venom, freeze and charmer 😭 i really enjoyed how they went deep with every sound that i wanna hear it again with the other songs in the album.
I watch so many reacttothek vids but this is one of those amazing ones that really makes me appreciate the song even more.
I can also picture Chan’s little giggle smile watching this video.
"How about the follow-up album EXTRA-ddinary"
Xdinary Heroes reaction confirmed jk
UMU YOUR EDITS ARE THE BEST 😩🤌 i was so excited for this reaction and it definitely delivered, MANIAC is even more fascinating than previously thought!! Bang Chan's 100% gonna have a fun time watching this vid, would definitely be cool if he could comment on the chordal analysis and maybe even play the bridge part on his keyboard on a Vlive 😀 I KNOW YOU'RE LURKING CHRISTOPHER, GIVE US THE CHORDS!!!! 🤡🫠
description of the song: - goes hard
thank you wall
Watching reaction videos makes me realise there is so much to everything. Literally even just breathing, walking, eating, singing, music, dancing and other stuff. There is a whole world that people have studied and perfected on it and I just love how people are able to explain how things work and why i get such satisfaction listening to it
Will and Jory playing Maniac on their instruments is really nice! It would be really awesome to hear a full version of it!
OHHH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!! THANK YOUUU 🥺💗
AHHHHHH. I've been waiting for Maniac-(in felix's voice) for today's video! :3
5:20 When the guy thought they will kill the bird using the drill 😂 that made me laugh so hard 🤣 and hissss faaaaaaceeee OMG 🤣
Thank you for reacting to stray kids! I would love to see more reactions to other recent releases like venom, freeze, lonely st, and especially charmer!
Will you guys do an album reaction that would be so cool as all the songs sound and feel so different :D
YES! THAT IS EXACTLY what my impression of their music is too ! I would have to describe it as " very textural & virtually tactile."
And as always Umu's editing getting more and more funny informative and entire training :)
Umus humour is immaculate it's hilarious. Loved this 🙏🏻
My fav reactions of yours are stray kids ones bc all of the songs are very interesting creative original and surprising always. 3RACHA GENIUS LINE!! also my fav thing abt skz is the BEAT, it is always so satisfying ahhhhh
Check out also the bside of the ODDINARY album! It's a banger!!!
NEXT DREAMCATCHER
AFTER 5 YEARS DEBUT FINALLY WON SHOW CHAMP
Really love to see how you guys professionally analyze the songs! In fact, it is because of your videos that I had become much more interested in music and have started to know more about the theories and how to listen to music (still very basic though). Do you wanna make some step-by-step or more detailed analyses for non-musical learners? I think it would be awesome if some musical terms can be explained by popular song examples and it can be a really good and interesting musical education for the public! :)
With the like talks of the subtlety of the song, I think it's because the song is not about outwardly being a maniac, but you're inner maniac and so it's a little more subtle because being a maniac in today's society us not widely accepted. I mean to fit in to today's society, you have to hide all your quirks and everything to be accepted by your peers
Hi guys.👋 Have put the link to this awesome reaction (with a little plug for it) in the comments section of the Maniac MV.💛
Love love love having a more detailed and analytical insight into how the technicalities of 3racha's composition lends to the creative concepts.
Can wait for Chan to see this breakdown!!!! Also I think the abrupt ending is a creative choice that has a meaning because most of their songs on the album also ends abruptly..almost leaving you on a cliffhanger....also fun fact, the bird sound represents someone being a maniac/crazy(visually and sonically bird sounds used in movies and animation represent someone being crazy like the cuckoo bird)
I’m so happy you reacted to this!!! I learn so much from it
I love the reactions, as always. I especially like how Jason react to this, not only about the musical aspect but also the whole meaning of the song. Also Will is so hilarious lmaooo. Oh and Umu, good job on the editing 😆
This is such a good reaction! You can always trust classical and jazz musicians to give a musical perspective 😌😌
Thanks for this reaction :)
Love how the tactile methods of the music excites this reaction. Thank you so much for appreciating the talent behind Stray Kids and their messages which their music relate to the listener.
Loved the reactions, Thank You all.
finally!!!! stray kids againn ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The editing is so so satisfying to watch along with these analysis from these amazing musicians. Kudos to the editing team too.
the meme edits getting better. Good fun lol thanks for this.
4:00 "so sick" 되게 좋다는 걸 표현한 거 같은데 한국어로 직역하면 "끔찍하다" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Maniac is such an amazing song!!!
Stray Kid’s comebacks keep getting better & better as they go! I love everyone’s analysis of Maniac because I do love to learn new things!!
Also Kevin is such a mood though!!!
Kevin is my spirit animal 🤣🤣🤣
I love listening to the instrumental of maniac :D
Absolutely love it! People who do completely different type of music and have no idea what they're about to listen to - that's amazing! So interesting to hear what they got to say. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’ve been waiting for this 😭 YESSSSS
