You are so right about the "bring it back come on" part! The two claps are exactly what he did on the met gala red carpet when the paps were being super disrespectful which caused a massive (well deserved) uproar. It even reached discussions far beyond the kpop realm. If you look up that moment you will see it and then look up how it ties into bounce back!
Bounce back is by far my favourite song of this era of Han jisung. The way he composed this is just next level genius. I Hope it gets a video and a few live performances cause that song has such a energy. Especially the chorus and his epic rap. ❤
Mhm! I don't think many people understand how great this rap is- he rapped two quintuplets in a row! TWO! I'm genuinely mind blown, as we basically never see that in Idol rappers (apart from some older gen), even Changbin's only ever done one before. I was personally pretty dissapointed with the rapping in the title track (as someone who is obsessed with all things rap from trap to drill to old school boom bap) and recently their raps have been getting shorter and less intricate, so I was SCREAMING when I listened to Han's verses 😭😭🙏🙏
I usually check Handsome sausages reactions for breakdown of lyrics, and it's very helpful. Bounce back is an amazing diss song, I love it. I also love U ft Tablo. Im having a hard time picking a favorite one.
The way that Bounce Back was reigned in a lot and this is apparently the scaled back version?! Gosh i hope we get to hear full rage skz one day. And ‘U’ is such a beautiful song. Its so easy to listen to. Tablo’s voice truly fits with skz perfectly
in reality the guys had written this song some time ago, but they really wanted to have a collab with tablo and they thought that this song was perfect for this collaboration, so they made the request and Tablo accepted immediately.
It's the opposite of that. The lyrics in U are describing something that was once full of life, and is now empty. "This is a forest with no trees." There's a sense of loss. Han and Lee Know described themselves this way: "We're both like trees. If there's chemistry between two trees, it can create a beautiful forest."
@JAMoore-zz3ki right, my thought was maybe there was a time when they were not so close, and it was a forest with no trees. Going back to U repopulated the forest.
Bounce Back is one of my favs on this. U was excellent and I agree, Tablo is a vibe. I enjoy watching you dissect these songs and analyzing everything. Thank you.
Thanks for another great reaction. Regarding U, I don’t think Stray Kids write songs just for likes (as witnessed in the countless diss songs). Their more heartfelt poetic music seems to come from emotional depths with lyrical honesty. I loved that song and Tablo fit in so well!
In the Bounce Back lyrics where the translation says "I don't give a shush", the Korean word for shush/shh is 쉿, and it sounds almost just the English word "sh*t". 🙃
Omg can't wait for you to watch their solo videos especially Chans because DAMN Bounce Back is my fav group song on this album. It's a Han song, but Chan and VERSACHOI also worked on it.
What I would give.... if Chris got in touch with a few reaction channels and on their next come back, him or a couple of the guys each go to different reactors. Let them see their newest headliner early and record their reaction to the MV with one of the Stray Kids member there. Stray Kids reacting to and with the reactor....then allow them to upload it after the MV drops. The epicness of this would have no bounds.....maybe some large and smaller reactors. They could announce which ones just before the MV drops....man I wish I was in their marketing team. 😁 So many ideas....I think they need a little bit more interaction with the fandom outside South Korea....it would be huge.
I was listening to LL Cool J's " Mama Said Knock you out " and it's got very similar elements and energy to Bounce Back. It's my fav off the HOP album. It's glorious
love this reaction! but tablo and epik high are actually iconic in korea - which is why they are wanted in featuring with top artists of today.. just not mainstream for international apparently. but EH are seriously gods of the industry in korea
You're right the tuba and triangle killed-but the bass never misses. Great diss track. The younger generations love Tablo and appreciate his genius. Epic High are still amazing artists and loved.
just wanted to correct what people said : Epik High were formed in 2001 and debuted in 2003 so i think they're technically a part of the 1st Gen, not sure but it seems more like that from my research ^^
The translations you got for Bounce Back were incorrect. Pyramids 😂 I watch other reactors who help give us the correct lyrics from Korean. Handsome Sausages usually does a great job. They also analyze the musical production & song structure. I love your reactions to the music videos.
Listened to U without realizing that Tablo was on it till I heard his voice. A reay good song, but I can't even find it on their channel unless I specifically go into the album playlist, its hidden somehow form the list of videos. I don't get it.

Thank you for this, I hadn't tired the 2 together
2:09 Han makes a quintuplet (A really difficult and weird technique in Rap, In summary way

This is such a unique album. I feel like SKZ showed us a whole new side of themselves. I'm glad you liked the songs.
Han wrote bounce back love it !

When you take note it reminds me of my psychologist hahaha thanks for the reaction

19:04 a forest with no trees....this sounds like a reference to Han & Lee Know's description of themselves in 2Kids Room Want So Bad.
@@amandas.6500 I thought so too when I first read the lyrics
@asmaparveen8720 glad I'm not the only one!
It's the opposite of that.

“I think its gonna be acapella” & then the immediate no HAHAHAHA
Seungmin in the intro video said that they recorded U a year ago
I’m so glad you’re releasing these ahhhhh thank you!!!
Thanks for another great reaction.

StrayKids is too good to be true ❤
Omg can't wait for you to watch their solo videos especially Chans because DAMN
Bounce Back is my fav group song on this album. It's a Han song, but Chan and VERSACHOI also worked on it.
22:24 thanks for sharing. We appreciate it, it’s obviously been hard times for you. Thank you for being here with us and enjoy music roscoe
Seungmin s vocals in this song just scratch a part of my brain in the best way possible 😮💨😮💨
Obsessed with Bounce Bsck. Obsessed!

You should watch the intro video they made for the album where they talk about the meanings
I was listening to LL Cool J's " Mama Said Knock you out " and it's got very similar elements and energy to Bounce Back. It's my fav off the HOP album. It's glorious
My top 2 fave on this album. 🥰
U😍😍
love this reaction!
but tablo and epik high are actually iconic in korea - which is why they are wanted in featuring with top artists of today.. just not mainstream for international apparently. but EH are seriously gods of the industry in korea
11:05 and they did take #1 on the billboard 🔥🔥
Bounce back had to be "toned down" Its was originally way crazier than it is.
You're right the tuba and triangle killed-but the bass never misses. Great diss track.
The younger generations love Tablo and appreciate his genius. Epic High are still amazing artists and loved.
The solo MVs next please. ;) you’ll love them
Seungmins vocals in this song just scratch a part of my brain in the best way possible 😮💨🔥especially here 1:30 🥴
just wanted to correct what people said : Epik High were formed in 2001 and debuted in 2003 so i think they're technically a part of the 1st Gen, not sure but it seems more like that from my research ^^
U outro says it was Tablo, but why does it sound like Seungmin to me?

I love your reactions to the music videos.
Roscoe would love to see you react to an Epik High live performance they kill it 💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥
Listened to U without realizing that Tablo was on it till I heard his voice. A reay good song, but I can't even find it on their channel unless I specifically go into the album playlist, its hidden somehow form the list of videos. I don't get it.
💜💜
