Lee eun sang just hit my top 10 with beuatiful scar you will love it sooo much beleve me you can't fouces on both mv and song together it will kill you❤❤❤
Ten is literally everything here. He has developed what sm has been hiding. He is an extraodrinary dancer and also a vocalist. I'm glad that he is shining.
As a fan I obviously knew from the beginning that they’re doing the avengers concept. But with one it just made so much sense; in a way it was enlightening for me, like a moment of ‘oh now I understand why they’re called the avengers’. So I definitely agree, this song just embodies their sound and identity for me!
Most people didn’t even notice that One was two separate songs! The rough transition makes it exciting imo, addictive. The separate songs are excellent too but doesn’t bring the variety of moods that One gives, better as a title track to bring in new fans.
Exactly what I've been saying. The transition is kinda off-putting but it's really addictive to the point where you can't listen to Monster's chorus. It kinda sounds like it doesn't fit
I actually dig the hybrid version as much as the ones alone because i feel like it combines the futuristic sound of infinity with the rawness of monster in a really cool way xd
to be honest when i first heard One, i was like "wow, yes this is A TITLE TRACK", but dudeee when I heard Infinity THIS HAS TO BE THE TITLE TRACK. it doesnt deserve to be in the b-side
Yeah! I wanted the same from other reactors so they can experience both songs for their glory but at least PD did so. P.S. Please use gender neutral pronouns for PD.
Personally I quite liked One! I don't know if it's just because I heard it first so I was already familiar with that transition into the chorus, but I honestly thought Monster's chorus was more jarring and I still can't really get into it. The verses in Monster are amazing, but I feel like Infinity's chorus is way catchier and (I'm assuming) that's why they decided to mash them together for the single 🤷♀️ Infinity is fire by itself though so I wouldn't have been mad if they'd decided to promote it as the title track!
PD, I'm sad to say I completely agree. Lol the best thing is Taemin agrees :D He basically just said in a recent live he wishes Infinity was the title track. Apparently he also wanted Wish You Were Here to be promoted instead of 100. The SuperM boys have always said they find Taemin is always right - SM, when will you finally learn!!!
Maybe SM should let the members choose the songs... Taemin has 13 years of experience and have proven to make good decisions in choosing the singles before.
Even though I'm not that mad about One, I definitely wonder how different this comeback would have been if Wish you were here was the first single released instead of 100.. cuz OMG it's so refreshing!! a totally new other side of SuperM and I love it
i think One really fits superm's Avengers of Kpop concept so much also omg TEN'S HIGH NOTE WITH BAEKHYUN YES PLS anyway happy first anniversary to superm !!!!!!
I really really like the mash up version of monster and infinity. The only problem I have now is that because I listened to one first and only got to the album a few days later I still can’t keep monster and infinity separate. Like, if I would try to sing one song in my head I would get all the parts of both songs mixed up. They’re kinda forever intertwined in my head now 😅
in my opinion infinity would have been great as their title track, but i still think one sounds so good and fits them really really well, that’s why i think it was the best choice to mix infinity and monster, and putting one as their title track, i do not like the chorus of monster and it feels like monster lacks something without the one’s chorus! this album is really great, and you should really listen to their debut ep too, all of their bsides are so incredible, just like this album ! also i love tiger inside, but after jopping, which made a big impression and is really powerful, one was a great continuation to it !
I very much agree with you. But Monster prechorus were reaaaally good and I particularly like the prechorus one in Monster. For Infinity, the choruses were SUPERIOR and that opening was sooo lit also I like rap verses on Infinity waaay more than Monster but to keep the heavenly prechorus Monster, I think they decided to add the Monster verse and it does have the most equal lines rather than Infinity verses so yeah. But I like One eventho on the first listen, I didn't quite chew the opening and first verse but I like second verses (with taemin and ten's heavenly prechorus), the choruses, bridge and outro which were part of Infinity song maybe that's why I like Infinity rather than Monster haha but I really think One is a great title track eventho the transition a bit forced on the instrumental
I absolutely loved all three songs. I'm surprised you thought One was a mess, I thought it was mixed perfectly and doesn't take anything away from the originals. But if I had to choose I think Infinity takes the cake. It's just too epic. Can't wait for you to listen to album in its entirety. It's a masterpiece.
Simone Says sameee, they took the best parts out of Monster and Infinity without making too many changes to them, and I personally love the hectic nature of One.
@@vedanshichanchu3432 omg agree with you!! Monster prechorus and Infinity choruses were lit!! I actually hope they keep Infinity intro but it wouldn't fit with Monster verse which I think they keep to make the prechoruses harmonies perfectly. And also the bridge! To combined the most wonderful part of each song and make it like One bridge was sooo dope!! I really all three songs haha
bro... the b-sides from their debut were THE songs. You really *need* to listen to that mini album too. Honestly I usually agree with you most of the time, but not today because I feel like that _frankenstein_ is amazing, it’s the anthem like song superm’s concept needed but it’s okay, I hope you like the album it’s totally worth it.
B-side means it's a song released with a single. it's not the 'rest of an album'. it comes from vinyl singles in the old days. (woops there goes my age)
I actually like one, it has the best parts of the two songs, I think they did it cuz the both songs were TOO GOOD to just be two individual songs so they said let us bind those two and make "one" , its actually new to me, a hybrid song, I actually enjoyed it,and I totally understand if you didn't like the idea cuz you have your own taste and preference, but the mv could've been better tho, I felt like they went all the way for "100" mv that they got lazy for "tiger inside" and "one", it is good but not what sm does usually. And I can't wait for your album review OMG like you can't imagine how good the bsides are, it shocked me, theres barely few I didn't like/ enjoy.
After listening to monster and infinity separately, one does sound a bit off but still good. But even then, I think the best song on the album is wish you were here despite both monster and infinity being 9/10s for me.
This is such a good album. I literally can't choose between Tiger Inside, Monster, Drip, Wish You Were Here, Line 'Em Up and Together At Home for my favorite
this is what a like about sm, they are always trying new things specially with superm and nct, always thinking out of the box and bringing something new, I honestly love their mess so much is totally my style so this is everything to me 😊
Agreed, On this FIRST anniversary of SuperM we need to pause & think a moment about how NEW this group is also on the enormity of its talent pool and the diversity of its influences. For me, one of the pleasures of SuperM is the OPPORTUNITY to see a group THIS good in its Work in Progress stage. So I don't mind the rough edges...at all.
So I'm kinda late and this will probably get drowned, but here's my opinion anyways. I can definitely see why someone would be overwhelmed by One or would think it sounds messy, but I FREAKING LOVE ONE. Ever since I heard it, it has been stuck in my head. Especially the Chorus, OMG THE CHORUS. And let's not forget about Ten, his pre-Chorus sounds so amazing; I don't have enough words to describe the deep satisfaction I feel every time I hear his voice. (The shared Highnote with Baekhyun is also incredibly beautiful). Did I mention Lucas?! He didn't have too many lines, but he stood out SO MUCH, and his lines are probably the most iconic thing ever. I got Bias-Wrecked by Everybody and even though my Ultimate Bias is Taemin, he wasn't the one that I was drawn to the most and that never happened before. To address the hybrid song thing: -Monster is amazing, the verses are great, and It probably has the best pre-Chorus I've heard in a while (Ten OMG). However the Chorus was a odd change of pace for me. We have this amazing pre-Chorus and then the Chorus hits and it is.... Weirdly calm? Don't get me wrong it not bad by any means, it just felt a bit out of place (However, this could be because I listened to One first and I loved the combination of the Monster pre-Chorus and the Infinity Chorus). Because of this, I am actually "happy" that the Chorus wasn't in the title track One. - Infinity is just amazing, it sounds like a Hollywood Action film score and it has so much power and energy and I simply love it. The Intro to this song is so impressive and it sets the tone perfectly and the same is true for the amazing raps we get and the small sung parts before the pre-Chorus. The pre-Chorus is ... Alright. Nothing special and again, it feels a bit out of place (But again this could be due to the fact, that I am enamoured with the Monster pre-Chorus) The Chorus on the other hand is, again, one of the best Choruses I've heard in a long time and I simply love everything about it. So in the end, One just combined the best parts of each song (for me). The Monster pre-Chorus + the Infinity Chorus. The Verses of both songs are great, but they went with the Monster Verses which is alright. It's a shame, they didn't include the epic Intro to Infinity in One, but I guess the song would have sounded too messy then. Lucas's Part at the End of One hits even harder than the Original from Infinity and I am so glad they included it. Conclusion: All three songs (and the entire album) have been on repeat ever since the album dropped (I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes or the wrong spelling; English is not my first language)
Yes i agree with you both monster and infinity were very great and a good b side but for an title track i don't think it suited. As you said in monster the chorus was calm, all the hype from pre-chorus turn into a chill-vibe in the chorus. And for infinity idk if it just me but there's time when my hype going down and float as the song goes. But the intro was so good i wish they included in one too 😣
I agree with this a lot. The chorus is just so good and the last bit Baek+Ten highnote to Mark to final chorus and outro...that's just prefect. I can't stop listening
Same!! They actually combined my favorite parts of Monster and Infinity and put it into one song! And I love the hectic nature of it! But them separately hit really well too
I'm really with you for all of that opinion sis because daaamn Monster prechoruses are heavenly (THANKS TO OUR BAEKTAEMTEN) but Choruses in Infinity are SUPERIOR and to give One the bridge of THE MOST WONDERFUL PART of Monster and Infinity (Taemin's Monster and Baekhyun's Infinity) AND THAT EPIC OUTRO OF LUCAS ㅠㅠ But I like Infinity's rap verses part waaaay more than Monster but I think they keep Monster's verses because it was more even line distribution than Infinity and to keep the prechoruses harmonies perfectly with the verses so the rough transition only when it hits choruses. AND THAT'S TOO BAD huhu because they can't keep the EPIC Intro it's really sad because that Infinity intro can pulled people just from listening to 10s of the song seriously.
I hope you might consider making a listening party for the b-sides of their first mini album too, because I think you might like them better than Jopping. Their song I Can't Stand the Rain is amazing.
At the end of the music video, on the phone Taem was holding was *æ* which in old english and scots usually means 'one' so yeah fun little easter egg (?) there.
I like One, but I like Infinity and Monster more seperately and I agree that MV is not very cohesive, which is a shame really. But the album is just amazing! I love all of the songs so much, I have it on repeat since it came out. I'm really excited for your listening party. I would also love to see your reaction to their previous mini album, because the b-sides are really good. I Can't Stand The Rain is such a bop. It just 4 songs, so it wouldn't take much of your time.
I really like 'One', the only weird thing is the transition from the pre-chorus to the chorus, but once you get used to it, its just fine. I think 'One' hits way harder than the two songs separately and the outro with Lucas also hits harder than the 'Infinity' outro. But I do love the two songs separately too, they are soooo good, the whole album is amazing!
I think because we already knew One was going to be a hybrid that I went into the song with an open mind and expect something to not be cohesive. I think it's good and I love listening to both songs separately, all 3 are really good. The whole album is really good, a lot of variety, better line distribution, just overall greatness.
People on my tl were actually surprised when they found out that One is a combination of 2 songs haha like they didn't think it was a hybrid nor it sounded messy. SM personally asked the producers to mix the two songs btw. I think One is the best choice for a title track for SuperM based on the group's image and concept. They're just sticking to their concept and I think they did well in that part. But in SuperM;s recent live, the most voted favorite song was Wish You Were Here haha and Taemin was like 'This should've been a title track!!'
I really loved monster and infinity separately but I actually preferred one I thought it mixed the best parts of both songs really well The most impactful part as you said was Lucas's outro and for me it was even better in one than infinity
yeah it was calmer in infinity probably bc the rest of the song is really intense, which makes sense bc one builds from marks part where he says i’m the one making the song slow
Also found it interesting how they changed the tempo and energy in Taemins bridge from Monster. It's much slower in One, but way faster and higher in Monster and each version fits it's song perfectly.
Honestly feel like Super M is really underappreciated they delivered a masterpiece of an album and this mv and combined song was phenomenal! I wish I could see them live again.
Maybe it's because I love fan mashups, but to me One is perfection: combining the best of both songs into one banger and the title track that finally does SuperM justice. Don't get me wrong: I think both songs are awesome on their own, but I just feel like something is lacking when I hear Infinity or Monster by themselves. To me, One is greater than the sum of its parts.
When I first heard one I was like "ok this is cool, sounds like a normal superM song" THEN I heard the two tracks separately and BOIIIII THOSE TWO ALONE ARE WAY BETTER! I have to agree with you on that!
did anyone else mentally insert an "EEE EXX OOH" right before Mark's rap at the end, because god damn for a moment I thought we had our Boys back for a second...
@@alifiakanyadibya461 yes, moonshine took part in producing all 3 songs (one, infinity & monster), but they're not the only one making it. Most of SM songs have several number of producers and writers involved. If I'm not mistaken kenzie usually writes the lyrics. Tiger Inside also produced by moonshine 👏🏼
Alifia Kanya Dibya Moonshine were the main producers of “ONE, Infinity, Monster, and Tiger Inside” and Kenzie wrote part of the lyrics for “ONE, Infinity, and Monster”, took part in composition for “ONE” and helped with the arrangement along with moonshine for “ONE, Infinity, and Monster”
I would LOVE a listening party for this album, I truly enjoy all the songs 😭 Happy 1st anniversary today SuperM! Edit: just got to the part where you said you're going to, yay thank you PD!! 😁 And I agree, I prefer them separate rather than together, but I don't hate the hybrid version
One is actually my fav. Also i love the fact that its overwhelming cuz it just excites me. I also liked the line distribution (even tho its not necessarily equal) i think every one stood out and had a highlight
I respectfully disagree, One is better than Monster or Infinity by themselves. Verses in Monster are great but the chorus is lacking, and Infinitys chorus is 10/10 and while the versus with that choir sound is dope, lacks energy. Its my 3rd favorite song of the year currently (subject to change)
I actually have to give credit to sm and super m for trying out a new formula to Kpop groups. Combining a variety of members from their actual groups to other groups is something that I’m not sure has been done before ( don’t quote me on this) and who knows?!! 10, 20 years from now this could be a new type of group that people will see more often in the kpop scene.
Although I can see how some might find 'One' jarring, I really like this Frankinstein, this hybrid works for me, both song and video are fire but listening to the songs separately again was definitely a good thing as it has given me a new appreciation for them as stand alone tracks. Please do a listening party/review of the album. Wishing SuperM a happy 1st anniversary.
This is my first time hearing a hybrid type of song and to say I'm actually mind blown. I've listened to One (not knowing about it being a combination of 2 songs) a billion of times since it's one of my fave but this.... I'm actually experiencing so many emotions it's like amazing. I love Hybrid songs! If anyone knows any other hybrid songs except SHINee (I'm gonna check that one now) then let me know!
I actually like One a lot. It's probably my fave SuperM title. It took the best parts of each song, the amazing Monster verses, with one of the best chorus' I've ever heard of Infinity and put them together. To me, it really worked. Infinity in general is one of their best songs. It's so incredible and it really could have worked as the title. However, when Lucas' last verse kicks in to end One, with the strong instrumentals of Monster, the impact is insane. Idk, I really just love One. The whole album is incredible. Please do a listening party.
18:45 " i don't know why SM feels the need to.. with superm, every time they wanna to do something gimmicky. " let's create this new hip word! jumping and popping = JOPPING!" " I laughed so hard at this part😂😂
I think that the hybrid part of it is the charm of "One" and I love it, it's just different. I really love "Infinity" and "Monster" as well and it's so cool to have a selection, each one hits different. I love listening to all 3 of them.
I like One but after listening to the album so many times I did feel like Infinity and Monster flow more naturally. Now I just hear 2 songs thrown together in One. Sherlock never had this problem (SHINee), because Clue and Note are so similar, it was like the same song in two parts so putting them together sounded completely natural. With One it doesn't sound as natural. Taemin thinks Infinity should have been the title track and somebody needs to do an MV edit for Infinity because I wonder how that would've looked. I think it also would have been a hit for sure. Taeyong: Taemin hyung is always right. Shawols keep quoting that, but when a man went against his company and pushed for Move as a title track instead of Love, and Move became one of the most iconic Kpop songs of all time and Taemin's turning point, maybe it's true? So apart from SM possibly showing off as people say, I have to wonder why they chose the verses of Monster and the chorus of Infinity. If they have different stories, what's the intent to put them together? I notice in this video the green on their clothes gives a 'monster' effect and at one point Baekhyun looks lizard-like with the way he moves his fingers (never seen anyone else notice it, though), and then Taemin in the bridge seeming to embody the anguish and turmoil of an inner monster which is the kind of thing he's always naturally good at... I wonder if it's just because they're being fancy with two songs in one or if they're moving the story. Are they supposed to have powers ? We still don't know. But I'm one of the minority that's really more interested in the storyline that SuperM seeeems to be doing since last year, if they're doing something like The Matrix. Maybe Infinity has the obvious Matrix themes and lyrics and Monster has... something else? Or maybe I'm talking fantasy nonsense because it's what I want and Taemin is actually right and it should've been Infinity. I actually think Infinity and Monster could make very good MVs separately. Infinity could've been the title and then Monster could have followed to continue the story. Monster could've been an extra a bit like WayV's Bad Alive. I really just want a story and movie I don't care about anything else-
I can appreciate both Monster and Infinity on their own. They're great songs, but it's something about the loudness and the combination of the two together to create One that I love the most.
I really like One but Infinity is just so great I kinda wish it was the title track. What I really liked about One is that we got more Ten and Lucas. I felt like all members got a time to shine. Personally I’d rank the MVs they released like this: 1. One 2. Tiger Inside 3. 100 (Song wise, I think Tiger Inside is the best out of the three)
I highly recommend the B-sides on their 1st mini album as well, they're all very good and Taeyong wrote and composed one of the songs on the album (No Manners) and it's probably my favorite track on it
From One to With You, for me, this is the first Kpop album that every songs are famous & well-known. Sometimes in 1 album, i only know/familiar with 2-3 songs.
your initial reaction to infinity was PRICELESS. honestly infinity is the first song i go to when i shuffle the album. when i first heard one, it didn't really do it for me until the chorus and bridge 🤍 i honestly wish infinity was the title!!
I really wished they would've had infinity as the title track and had one (monster+infinity) as a b-side bonus. The idea of combining two songs is super cool and Sherlock by Shinee was amazing but One is just lacking in cohesiveness.
I loved loved loved infinity the most for sure, one did grow on me!! And hearing you say you’ll a listening party and a review made me so happy hahaha!! Thanks for all your hard work!
One is a freaking great song. and when i listened to the songs individually i really enjoyed them especially infinity. i enjoyed monster but was always expecting Infinities chorus to drop every time. One gives me that powerful satisfaction by putting together each songs best parts. Lucas's outro in one just hits better and is more epic. One brought out the shine in Monster and Infinity and the move to merge these songs together was a freaking great idea. When it comes to the music video i really enjoyed it very much. its like they are trying to break out of whatever prison they are locked in and its coming apart . in the end of the video it becomes peaceful maybe signifying that they got out.
The final chorus and the outro in Infinity might sound same to the ONE version, but if you listen to them carefully, the instrumental is pretty DIFFERENT! And it sounds epic in the ONE

My reaction on infinety was jus like yours😂😂😂😂
I agree with your review. The rest of the album is fire!!!.
Please React *Taemin Never gonna dance again album* ....the album is masterpiece....🙏🙏🙏🙏
i really thought the song was gonna end after the 3rd chorus, so when Lucas’s part came in I literally started dying IT SOUNDS SO GOOD WTF
That ending part is so POWERFUL
And the way he killed it twice with the choreos. He didnt get so much lines but his part is the best part for me.
Omg true
Lucas’s part is like one of the highlights of the song. I always repeat that part everytime I listen to the song, just soooo goooooooddddd
Ten is literally everything here. He has developed what sm has been hiding. He is an extraodrinary dancer and also a vocalist. I'm glad that he is shining.
Especially while listening to the whole album, Ten stood out to me. It's a blessing to see and hear what he can do when it's not hidden.
onmywayagain_ His vocals tho omg I’m in love with him he’s so cute. I wish in the future he can get even more recognized.
@@mili9756 for real tho
Yes yes yes
@@thatsroughbuddy- I could hear him in almost all of the choruses and he really made them so so good! His breathy voice is amazing.
in my opinion superm definitely found their sound with this one. this song is just too good. also HAPPY ONE YEAR WITH SUPERM TODAY
As a fan I obviously knew from the beginning that they’re doing the avengers concept. But with one it just made so much sense; in a way it was enlightening for me, like a moment of ‘oh now I understand why they’re called the avengers’.
So I definitely agree, this song just embodies their sound and identity for me!
tbh i think this but about tiger inside
I agree! This song along with tiger inside. It fits superm very well
it's so good i agree with u this is a superm sound
Yes, they have finally found their sound! It's very SM sounding, and it's truly a mix between EXO, NCT and Shinee. Not whatever Jopping was lol.
I prefer the songs separately but Lucas doing the Outro in One is superior
FACTS
Exactly! I had just written that same comment about Lucas before I saw yours.
lucas part at the end was lit love him so muchh
Ten really, really shined in this music video.
his high note! Beakhyun is great but TEN's voice made the album for me honestly
Yessssssss i am so proud of my baby
Ten in yellow clothes part really got me 😍😍😍😍
YESS YESS
lucas managed to steal the song with two lines
Yessss hes own the song whit his lines
Hhhhhh hell yeah !
My brain at 3:00 AM:
*Im the other one chillin' with the other ones*
Lmfao I didn't realize I was doing this till my bf was like "what are you saying? What does that mean? You've been saying that for a week now" 💀
This is so funny. In my country it's 2:40 am and ur comment cracked me up.
Relatable!
SAMEEEEEE im doing whatever singing that part all the time
HAHAHA SAME
Most people didn’t even notice that One was two separate songs! The rough transition makes it exciting imo, addictive. The separate songs are excellent too but doesn’t bring the variety of moods that One gives, better as a title track to bring in new fans.

Exactly what I've been saying. The transition is kinda off-putting but it's really addictive to the point where you can't listen to Monster's chorus. It kinda sounds like it doesn't fit
if you studied music, youd know its an enormous modulation, very rough just as you worded it

Yup yup!!
SAME
Same
Infinity is pure SOTY material i'm not even kidding
YES
i really love infinity too. i also love the bridge in monster.
true
to be honest when i first heard One, i was like "wow, yes this is A TITLE TRACK", but dudeee when I heard Infinity THIS HAS TO BE THE TITLE TRACK. it doesnt deserve to be in the b-side
FACTS
I looove the fact that PD listened to both songs separately
yes, as expected, grateful for this is more informed reaction.
Yeah! I wanted the same from other reactors so they can experience both songs for their glory but at least PD did so.
P.S. Please use gender neutral pronouns for PD.
@@roserain7034 Thank you for telling me about the pronouns! I really didn't know!
@@larabelfort6556 Gotta help each other out since I made those mistakes too.

The verses in Monster are amazing, but I feel like Infinity's chorus is way catchier and (I'm assuming) that's why they decided to mash them together for the single 🤷♀️ Infinity is fire by itself though so I wouldn't have been mad if they'd decided to promote it as the title track!
notyouraveragenails my thoughts exactly
Bc I've listened to one so many times, the chorus in monster just throws me right off
Oh my god sammmeeee
the monster chorus used to throw me off so much but after listening to it over and over grew on me and i rly like it now.
YEAH SAME! once one came out, i had it on repeat all the time until the album dropped and I was so used to it which made monster's chorus weird for me
The whole album was a masterpiecee
PD, I'm sad to say I completely agree. Lol the best thing is Taemin agrees :D He basically just said in a recent live he wishes Infinity was the title track. Apparently he also wanted Wish You Were Here to be promoted instead of 100. The SuperM boys have always said they find Taemin is always right - SM, when will you finally learn!!!
He just said it again about a hour and a half ago lol
Maybe SM should let the members choose the songs... Taemin has 13 years of experience and have proven to make good decisions in choosing the singles before.
Even though I'm not that mad about One, I definitely wonder how different this comeback would have been if Wish you were here was the first single released instead of 100.. cuz OMG it's so refreshing!! a totally new other side of SuperM and I love it
If they made infinity one of the title tracks or THE title track that would’ve been so iconic
Wish you were here... as always we can trust taemin😌
i think One really fits superm's Avengers of Kpop concept so much also omg TEN'S HIGH NOTE WITH BAEKHYUN YES PLS anyway happy first anniversary to superm !!!!!!
I really really like the mash up version of monster and infinity.
The only problem I have now is that because I listened to one first and only got to the album a few days later I still can’t keep monster and infinity separate. Like, if I would try to sing one song in my head I would get all the parts of both songs mixed up. They’re kinda forever intertwined in my head now 😅
Me too 😥💖
Same!
Its hard for ne too
True, I'll start singing the Infinity chorus when I'm listening to Monster
Yeah I agree! It’s hard for me too
taemin actually wanted to release infinity as a single
That would've been so freaking awesome!
And "Wish you were here " omg that song makes me CRAZY!
Taemin has always had taste
taemin has so much taste they should just let him take over when it comes to mv releases
Damn that would be 🔥
in my opinion infinity would have been great as their title track, but i still think one sounds so good and fits them really really well, that’s why i think it was the best choice to mix infinity and monster, and putting one as their title track, i do not like the chorus of monster and it feels like monster lacks something without the one’s chorus! this album is really great, and you should really listen to their debut ep too, all of their bsides are so incredible, just like this album ! also i love tiger inside, but after jopping, which made a big impression and is really powerful, one was a great continuation to it !
Taemin said the same thing! He wanted infinity to be the title track and wish you were here as a prelease instead of 100
Infinity would have been amazing as the title track. It was most definitely the better version.
Miyabi 123456789 and he was right haha, this song is so good, but one is still a good choice!!
@@Miyabi-bk2vi where did he said it??
I very much agree with you. But Monster prechorus were reaaaally good and I particularly like the prechorus one in Monster. For Infinity, the choruses were SUPERIOR and that opening was sooo lit also I like rap verses on Infinity waaay more than Monster but to keep the heavenly prechorus Monster, I think they decided to add the Monster verse and it does have the most equal lines rather than Infinity verses so yeah. But I like One eventho on the first listen, I didn't quite chew the opening and first verse but I like second verses (with taemin and ten's heavenly prechorus), the choruses, bridge and outro which were part of Infinity song maybe that's why I like Infinity rather than Monster haha but I really think One is a great title track eventho the transition a bit forced on the instrumental
I absolutely loved all three songs. I'm surprised you thought One was a mess, I thought it was mixed perfectly and doesn't take anything away from the originals. But if I had to choose I think Infinity takes the cake. It's just too epic. Can't wait for you to listen to album in its entirety. It's a masterpiece.
Simone Says sameee, they took the best parts out of Monster and Infinity without making too many changes to them, and I personally love the hectic nature of One.
@@vedanshichanchu3432 omg agree with you!! Monster prechorus and Infinity choruses were lit!! I actually hope they keep Infinity intro but it wouldn't fit with Monster verse which I think they keep to make the prechoruses harmonies perfectly. And also the bridge! To combined the most wonderful part of each song and make it like One bridge was sooo dope!! I really all three songs haha
Yeah I also think Infinity takes the cake but the prechoruses of Monster was just heavenly ㅠㅠ
bro... the b-sides from their debut were THE songs. You really *need* to listen to that mini album too.
Honestly I usually agree with you most of the time, but not today because I feel like that _frankenstein_ is amazing, it’s the anthem like song superm’s concept needed but it’s okay, I hope you like the album it’s totally worth it.
I agree that the B-sides in their debut mini album are lit.
Agree!
Step Up is SO GOOD. I played that song on repeat. I love this one too though!
I agree!!!
B-side means it's a song released with a single. it's not the 'rest of an album'. it comes from vinyl singles in the old days. (woops there goes my age)
i’m obsessed with superm Ten although i’ve been obsessed with Ten from nct since 2016
I actually like one, it has the best parts of the two songs, I think they did it cuz the both songs were TOO GOOD to just be two individual songs so they said let us bind those two and make "one" , its actually new to me, a hybrid song, I actually enjoyed it,and I totally understand if you didn't like the idea cuz you have your own taste and preference, but the mv could've been better tho, I felt like they went all the way for "100" mv that they got lazy for "tiger inside" and "one", it is good but not what sm does usually.
And I can't wait for your album review OMG like you can't imagine how good the bsides are, it shocked me, theres barely few I didn't like/ enjoy.
FAMM 614 same it’s the best parts, infinity by itself is amazing
Fun fact: SHINee also did a hybrid of their songs with Sherlock(Clue+Note). Found it interesting that SM did something like this again!
Rose Miller yeah, and i didn’t know why sherlock was called clue + note until this song made me realise, crazy
@@rosemiller1138 I was today years old when...
@@focus-nct1279 SAME , infinity is hella epic
I hope you can do a listening party to their album it's very different
Please!!
Yes. Up
Pleaseee
I actually cried when I first heard Infinity. It was so good that I was overwhelmed.
After listening to monster and infinity separately, one does sound a bit off but still good. But even then, I think the best song on the album is wish you were here despite both monster and infinity being 9/10s for me.
The amount of times I've heard Wish You Were There already is impressive. It's my favorite of the album
I replayed Wish You Were Here for hours on repeat and I still love it. It is such an amazing song.
Wish you were here is everything!!
This is such a good album. I literally can't choose between Tiger Inside, Monster, Drip, Wish You Were Here, Line 'Em Up and Together At Home for my favorite
Me too I really love wish you were here it's on repeat since day 1
I don't mind the songs mixed together but Taemin definitely said that he wanted Infinity to be their title track.
this is what a like about sm, they are always trying new things specially with superm and nct, always thinking out of the box and bringing something new, I honestly love their mess so much is totally my style so this is everything to me 😊
Agreed, On this FIRST anniversary of SuperM we need to pause & think a moment about how NEW this group is also on the enormity of its talent pool and the diversity of its influences. For me, one of the pleasures of SuperM is the OPPORTUNITY to see a group THIS good in its Work in Progress stage. So I don't mind the rough edges...at all.
noise & messiness is delicious
Yes ıt's delicious but they started making two songs becomes one genre with SHINee in sherlock era.
Really like Ten's prechorus in Monster.. should have make it into the mix
So I'm kinda late and this will probably get drowned, but here's my opinion anyways. I can definitely see why someone would be overwhelmed by One or would think it sounds messy, but I FREAKING LOVE ONE. Ever since I heard it, it has been stuck in my head. Especially the Chorus, OMG THE CHORUS. And let's not forget about Ten, his pre-Chorus sounds so amazing; I don't have enough words to describe the deep satisfaction I feel every time I hear his voice. (The shared Highnote with Baekhyun is also incredibly beautiful). Did I mention Lucas?! He didn't have too many lines, but he stood out SO MUCH, and his lines are probably the most iconic thing ever. I got Bias-Wrecked by Everybody and even though my Ultimate Bias is Taemin, he wasn't the one that I was drawn to the most and that never happened before.
To address the hybrid song thing:
-Monster is amazing, the verses are great, and It probably has the best pre-Chorus I've heard in a while (Ten OMG). However the Chorus was a odd change of pace for me. We have this amazing pre-Chorus and then the Chorus hits and it is.... Weirdly calm? Don't get me wrong it not bad by any means, it just felt a bit out of place (However, this could be because I listened to One first and I loved the combination of the Monster pre-Chorus and the Infinity Chorus). Because of this, I am actually "happy" that the Chorus wasn't in the title track One.
- Infinity is just amazing, it sounds like a Hollywood Action film score and it has so much power and energy and I simply love it. The Intro to this song is so impressive and it sets the tone perfectly and the same is true for the amazing raps we get and the small sung parts before the pre-Chorus. The pre-Chorus is ... Alright. Nothing special and again, it feels a bit out of place (But again this could be due to the fact, that I am enamoured with the Monster pre-Chorus) The Chorus on the other hand is, again, one of the best Choruses I've heard in a long time and I simply love everything about it.
So in the end, One just combined the best parts of each song (for me).
The Monster pre-Chorus + the Infinity Chorus. The Verses of both songs are great, but they went with the Monster Verses which is alright. It's a shame, they didn't include the epic Intro to Infinity in One, but I guess the song would have sounded too messy then. Lucas's Part at the End of One hits even harder than the Original from Infinity and I am so glad they included it.
Conclusion: All three songs (and the entire album) have been on repeat ever since the album dropped
(I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes or the wrong spelling; English is not my first language)
Yes i agree with you both monster and infinity were very great and a good b side but for an title track i don't think it suited. As you said in monster the chorus was calm, all the hype from pre-chorus turn into a chill-vibe in the chorus. And for infinity idk if it just me but there's time when my hype going down and float as the song goes. But the intro was so good i wish they included in one too 😣
I agree with this a lot. The chorus is just so good and the last bit Baek+Ten highnote to Mark to final chorus and outro...that's just prefect. I can't stop listening
Same!! They actually combined my favorite parts of Monster and Infinity and put it into one song! And I love the hectic nature of it! But them separately hit really well too
OMG JUST LIKE MY THOUGHTS ALL OF THIS ㅠㅠ
I'm really with you for all of that opinion sis because daaamn Monster prechoruses are heavenly (THANKS TO OUR BAEKTAEMTEN) but Choruses in Infinity are SUPERIOR and to give One the bridge of THE MOST WONDERFUL PART of Monster and Infinity (Taemin's Monster and Baekhyun's Infinity) AND THAT EPIC OUTRO OF LUCAS ㅠㅠ
But I like Infinity's rap verses part waaaay more than Monster but I think they keep Monster's verses because it was more even line distribution than Infinity and to keep the prechoruses harmonies perfectly with the verses so the rough transition only when it hits choruses. AND THAT'S TOO BAD huhu because they can't keep the EPIC Intro it's really sad because that Infinity intro can pulled people just from listening to 10s of the song seriously.
I hope you might consider making a listening party for the b-sides of their first mini album too, because I think you might like them better than Jopping. Their song I Can't Stand the Rain is amazing.
Yess. I can't stand the rain is a boppp
i can't stand the rain is my absolute least favorite from their mini album lmaoo
Yes! He should definitely do one for their first album.
frrr the b sides are art
and here I am still waiting they released full version of mark teaser for super car ;(
At the end of the music video, on the phone Taem was holding was *æ* which in old english and scots usually means 'one' so yeah fun little easter egg (?) there.
Ten's voice is so beautiful, he needs more lines!
infinity is the most epic thing I have heard in kpop this year.
Its like Shinees Sherlock, which was a hybrid mix of Clue and Note.
he said that before watching the mv
That high note duet with Ten and Baekhyun was one of my favorite parts of the song. Ten got so many lines in this song and that made me so happy.
"..I'm the other one, chilling with the other ones."
"..no pressure but we pressing so you better run"
"..we was coming in.."
Lyrics 😂
"You ain't got the moves or the fuel"
I like One, but I like Infinity and Monster more seperately and I agree that MV is not very cohesive, which is a shame really. But the album is just amazing! I love all of the songs so much, I have it on repeat since it came out.
I'm really excited for your listening party.
I would also love to see your reaction to their previous mini album, because the b-sides are really good. I Can't Stand The Rain is such a bop. It just 4 songs, so it wouldn't take much of your time.
Ughhh the underlying superhero theme give me chills everytime. So fulfilling.
i like how you released this on superm's one year anniversary 🖤
I really like 'One', the only weird thing is the transition from the pre-chorus to the chorus, but once you get used to it, its just fine. I think 'One' hits way harder than the two songs separately and the outro with Lucas also hits harder than the 'Infinity' outro. But I do love the two songs separately too, they are soooo good, the whole album is amazing!
This is the comment!!! Monster pre- chorus + Infinity chorus =SOTY material...... Not to mention, Lucas' outro
@@yolopug3889 yees!
Exactly! It's the same as Sherlock. Clue and Note are great on their own but combining them makes it AWESOME
@@ot7biasedmashups yeees! That's the best example
please check out their album !! its amazing, no skips
THIS
TRUE
Truuueeeeee! THIS ALBUM IS GOLD
Yes, but why they're underrated in korea
SuperM so amazing, im so sad about that
I like all of them, they're songs really good 💜💜
@@kimnara716 yes because mainstream underappreciate unique music, that's why.
I think because we already knew One was going to be a hybrid that I went into the song with an open mind and expect something to not be cohesive. I think it's good and I love listening to both songs separately, all 3 are really good.
The whole album is really good, a lot of variety, better line distribution, just overall greatness.
SUPERM ASSEMBLE
Taemin chose that 'Infinity' as his favorite song to the point that he should have chosen the song as their title song.
One of the best album releases of this year
People on my tl were actually surprised when they found out that One is a combination of 2 songs haha like they didn't think it was a hybrid nor it sounded messy. SM personally asked the producers to mix the two songs btw. I think One is the best choice for a title track for SuperM based on the group's image and concept. They're just sticking to their concept and I think they did well in that part. But in SuperM;s recent live, the most voted favorite song was Wish You Were Here haha and Taemin was like 'This should've been a title track!!'
I really loved monster and infinity separately but I actually preferred one I thought it mixed the best parts of both songs really well
The most impactful part as you said was Lucas's outro and for me it was even better in one than infinity
yeah it was calmer in infinity probably bc the rest of the song is really intense, which makes sense bc one builds from marks part where he says i’m the one making the song slow
Also found it interesting how they changed the tempo and energy in Taemins bridge from Monster. It's much slower in One, but way faster and higher in Monster and each version fits it's song perfectly.
Honestly feel like Super M is really underappreciated they delivered a masterpiece of an album and this mv and combined song was phenomenal! I wish I could see them live again.
no one :
my brain 24/7 : I'M THE OTHER ONE CHILLIN WITH THEM OTHER ONES
Maybe it's because I love fan mashups, but to me One is perfection: combining the best of both songs into one banger and the title track that finally does SuperM justice. Don't get me wrong: I think both songs are awesome on their own, but I just feel like something is lacking when I hear Infinity or Monster by themselves. To me, One is greater than the sum of its parts.
When I first heard one I was like "ok this is cool, sounds like a normal superM song" THEN I heard the two tracks separately and BOIIIII THOSE TWO ALONE ARE WAY BETTER! I have to agree with you on that!
did anyone else mentally insert an "EEE EXX OOH" right before Mark's rap at the end, because god damn for a moment I thought we had our Boys back for a second...
i miss EXO :")
We have to wait till' 2025 for a full OT9 comeback
Moonshine did these songs JUSTICE 😤✊
Moonshine just keeps producing bops!! We stan
Rhitma Kemala They ONLY know how to create bops 🥰🤩
Were Infinity also produced by Moonshine?? But I also found Kenzie as One producers??
@@alifiakanyadibya461 yes, moonshine took part in producing all 3 songs (one, infinity & monster), but they're not the only one making it. Most of SM songs have several number of producers and writers involved. If I'm not mistaken kenzie usually writes the lyrics. Tiger Inside also produced by moonshine 👏🏼
Alifia Kanya Dibya Moonshine were the main producers of “ONE, Infinity, Monster, and Tiger Inside” and Kenzie wrote part of the lyrics for “ONE, Infinity, and Monster”, took part in composition for “ONE” and helped with the arrangement along with moonshine for “ONE, Infinity, and Monster”
I would LOVE a listening party for this album, I truly enjoy all the songs 😭 Happy 1st anniversary today SuperM!
Edit: just got to the part where you said you're going to, yay thank you PD!! 😁 And I agree, I prefer them separate rather than together, but I don't hate the hybrid version
One is actually my fav. Also i love the fact that its overwhelming cuz it just excites me. I also liked the line distribution (even tho its not necessarily equal) i think every one stood out and had a highlight
lucas' voice is everything in this song i cant get over the last part his deep voice and his accent is everything
I respectfully disagree, One is better than Monster or Infinity by themselves. Verses in Monster are great but the chorus is lacking, and Infinitys chorus is 10/10 and while the versus with that choir sound is dope, lacks energy. Its my 3rd favorite song of the year currently (subject to change)
I disagree.
PropfetMisfit09 ok
Yess, i think infinity has such a great chorus and monster lacks a lot, the chorus look like don't match with the energy
Agree
I actually have to give credit to sm and super m for trying out a new formula to Kpop groups. Combining a variety of members from their actual groups to other groups is something that I’m not sure has been done before ( don’t quote me on this) and who knows?!! 10, 20 years from now this could be a new type of group that people will see more often in the kpop scene.
Although I can see how some might find 'One' jarring, I really like this Frankinstein, this hybrid works for me, both song and video are fire but listening to the songs separately again was definitely a good thing as it has given me a new appreciation for them as stand alone tracks. Please do a listening party/review of the album. Wishing SuperM a happy 1st anniversary.
the one combines all the best parts of the both songs and i love it
This is my first time hearing a hybrid type of song and to say I'm actually mind blown.
I've listened to One (not knowing about it being a combination of 2 songs) a billion of times since it's one of my fave but this.... I'm actually experiencing so many emotions it's like amazing. I love Hybrid songs! If anyone knows any other hybrid songs except SHINee (I'm gonna check that one now) then let me know!
There's also "black or white" by CROSS GENE, I think
@@markedin_red
Thank uuu ill be listening to it
like both MONSTER , INFINITY AND ONE (MONSTER AND INFINITY) 🤯
The B-sides of the first album, in jopping, are SO GOOD. I can’t stand the rain, and others are great great great
YOU NEED TO DO A LISTENING PARTY TO THIS ALBUM IT'S A MASTERPIECE!!
In the Twitter blueroom that they did the other day Taemin said that the end scene is a spoiler for the next SuperM era.
I actually like One a lot. It's probably my fave SuperM title. It took the best parts of each song, the amazing Monster verses, with one of the best chorus' I've ever heard of Infinity and put them together. To me, it really worked. Infinity in general is one of their best songs. It's so incredible and it really could have worked as the title. However, when Lucas' last verse kicks in to end One, with the strong instrumentals of Monster, the impact is insane. Idk, I really just love One. The whole album is incredible. Please do a listening party.
18:45 " i don't know why SM feels the need to.. with superm, every time they wanna to do something gimmicky. " let's create this new hip word! jumping and popping = JOPPING!" "
I laughed so hard at this part😂😂
OH MY GOD you definitely check their debut album's bsides, they are INCREDIBLE especially no manners and super car.. they are just -chefs kiss-
I think that the hybrid part of it is the charm of "One" and I love it, it's just different. I really love "Infinity" and "Monster" as well and it's so cool to have a selection, each one hits different. I love listening to all 3 of them.
I really waiting you listening party for The Album
I like One but after listening to the album so many times I did feel like Infinity and Monster flow more naturally. Now I just hear 2 songs thrown together in One. Sherlock never had this problem (SHINee), because Clue and Note are so similar, it was like the same song in two parts so putting them together sounded completely natural. With One it doesn't sound as natural. Taemin thinks Infinity should have been the title track and somebody needs to do an MV edit for Infinity because I wonder how that would've looked. I think it also would have been a hit for sure.
Taeyong: Taemin hyung is always right.
Shawols keep quoting that, but when a man went against his company and pushed for Move as a title track instead of Love, and Move became one of the most iconic Kpop songs of all time and Taemin's turning point, maybe it's true?
So apart from SM possibly showing off as people say, I have to wonder why they chose the verses of Monster and the chorus of Infinity. If they have different stories, what's the intent to put them together? I notice in this video the green on their clothes gives a 'monster' effect and at one point Baekhyun looks lizard-like with the way he moves his fingers (never seen anyone else notice it, though), and then Taemin in the bridge seeming to embody the anguish and turmoil of an inner monster which is the kind of thing he's always naturally good at... I wonder if it's just because they're being fancy with two songs in one or if they're moving the story. Are they supposed to have powers ? We still don't know. But I'm one of the minority that's really more interested in the storyline that SuperM seeeems to be doing since last year, if they're doing something like The Matrix. Maybe Infinity has the obvious Matrix themes and lyrics and Monster has... something else?
Or maybe I'm talking fantasy nonsense because it's what I want and Taemin is actually right and it should've been Infinity. I actually think Infinity and Monster could make very good MVs separately. Infinity could've been the title and then Monster could have followed to continue the story. Monster could've been an extra a bit like WayV's Bad Alive. I really just want a story and movie I don't care about anything else-
That powerful dance on the outro is really satisfying, I feel the chill
From all super m’s songs, I like this song and tiger inside the most. The songs are so good like how can it’s not recognized by kpop fans. So sad 😭
PD jamming to Infinity is me every day since the album released
To me, Infinity is amazing and I get goosebumps every time I hear it. And I prefer One over Monster.
I can appreciate both Monster and Infinity on their own. They're great songs, but it's something about the loudness and the combination of the two together to create One that I love the most.
I love the whole album. It's so damn good.
Lucas was just so powerful at the end. I could just sit there and listen to that part over and over again.
I totally agree!! Infinity should've been the title track it is AMAZING
the prechorus is underwhelming tho.....i think monster prechorus is better
I like seeing you mind blown listening to Infinity cuz same
I really like One but Infinity is just so great I kinda wish it was the title track. What I really liked about One is that we got more Ten and Lucas. I felt like all members got a time to shine. Personally I’d rank the MVs they released like this:
1. One
2. Tiger Inside
3. 100
(Song wise, I think Tiger Inside is the best out of the three)
Sitting in the comments feeling like the only one who liked Monster’s chorus and find it just as catchy as infinity’s...👉👈
I love ONE but Infinity's opening vocals and rap with the harmony was phenomenal!
SuperOne definitely deserves an album reaction! That album is full of bops!
I highly recommend the B-sides on their 1st mini album as well, they're all very good and Taeyong wrote and composed one of the songs on the album (No Manners) and it's probably my favorite track on it
I love the songs individually but together its still amazing
the album it’s so so good, is one of my favs of the year together with neo zone
From One to With You, for me, this is the first Kpop album that every songs are famous & well-known.
Sometimes in 1 album, i only know/familiar with 2-3 songs.
THIS ALBUM HAS NO SKIPS. YOU MUST LISTEN
One is chef's kiss but I gotta admit I cried when I first listened to Infinity. It's 10000000000000% my style!!!
You took the time to listen to monster and infinity separately and this is why we love you!
your initial reaction to infinity was PRICELESS. honestly infinity is the first song i go to when i shuffle the album. when i first heard one, it didn't really do it for me until the chorus and bridge 🤍 i honestly wish infinity was the title!!
I really wished they would've had infinity as the title track and had one (monster+infinity) as a b-side bonus. The idea of combining two songs is super cool and Sherlock by Shinee was amazing but One is just lacking in cohesiveness.
I loved loved loved infinity the most for sure, one did grow on me!! And hearing you say you’ll a listening party and a review made me so happy hahaha!! Thanks for all your hard work!
One is a freaking great song. and when i listened to the songs individually i really enjoyed them especially infinity. i enjoyed monster but was always expecting Infinities chorus to drop every time. One gives me that powerful satisfaction by putting together each songs best parts. Lucas's outro in one just hits better and is more epic. One brought out the shine in Monster and Infinity and the move to merge these songs together was a freaking great idea. When it comes to the music video i really enjoyed it very much. its like they are trying to break out of whatever prison they are locked in and its coming apart . in the end of the video it becomes peaceful maybe signifying that they got out.
The chorus was what made me like the song, but that ending doe..the icing on the cake!
Idk but I love both songs together. I like them seperately as well, but together it sounds epic
Can’t wait for the full album review. It’s a solid body of work and in my opinion one of the best releases this year.
The final chorus and the outro in Infinity might sound same to the ONE version, but if you listen to them carefully, the instrumental is pretty DIFFERENT! And it sounds epic in the ONE
