Thank you so much for this reaction, This album is amazing, my fav song is Cinderella, it's so good, also the choreo for Cream Soda is crazy intense and hard, it's so good.
sadly you are not going crazy and they got so many parts wrong in those coded lyrics vids🥲 thanks for the reaction as always, this was a treat! and yes, this album does feel very fresh, I definitely didn't expect some of the directions these songs went to
Cream Soda is one giant euphemism. I mean, Suho and the girl in the car with the foamy liquid running down the windshield? 😏 Kyungsoo in Hear Me Out is so fine. The way he’s vibing keeps taking my attention away from the others. Also, Chen holding his hand in the photo booth melts my heart. Sehun has been coming for me this comeback. It’s the hair, I think. Normalize male idols having short hair. I’m also in love with his singing voice.
I missed your exo reactions! Thank you for listening and reacting to their comeback :)

Gosh I have so many thories about Let Me In, but this is one: The rock represents the hate they receive. We can safely assume those haters are not mature people (hence the kid?), they make a little comment over the internet (throw a rock into the ocean) without thinking much, just like an everyday fun play and then they go away, but the members receive the huge ripple effects of that little comment in their world. Even if they are not on stage, each of them living his own life, but they all, each one of them, are shattered by it. I am not sure about the time reversing, it might be their determination to not allow that to happen anymore. If anyone has a different theory, I'd like to hear. Because it breaks my heart so bad.
OMG finally! It's been so long since you react to EXO. I thought you drop them when i didn't see any video on EXO since Kai's solo. Also in your patreon there's nothing EXO related not even the EXO ladder episodes you reacted to on the webside. But finally it's here. Welcome back to the EXO rollercoaster❤
Yes, the songs with translation are badly done when they place the parts of each member, like placing in one of the parts that Baekhyun sings to Kai, or in the parts that Sehun sings they placed Chanyeol, etc., hahahah 🤷🏻♀️ Anyway, thx u very much for reacting again to EXO 🥰💕.
The first time i heard this album, i couldn't put my thoughts together or more like i went blank ... I mean, the sounds are so prominent that i needed time to digest it i guess. This album overall is bright( i don't know how else to explain). So after 2-3 listens, i can definitely say i really like this album a lot.
same thoughts the first time i listened to the album. i didnt have the vibes except for no make up on, but as i listen to it again i was like okay?? a no skip album, exo always DELIVER
Glad to see you again! I love Hear Me Out from first listen, but my current fave is Another Day, it's so different. You're right, this does feel like a throwback album, I felt that too. Some late 90s vibe.
Hiiii Sir Austin, I’m so happy to see you back! I Absolutely loved this album! I am soosossosos happy that EXO is back! They will forever be my favorite group, they always deliver🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
This album screams "only exo can pull it off" like even the producers are so excited working on it and are very hands on in hyping the album because they are just happy working with these men 🥹 it's also one thing to say: nope our fans are grown we makin grown music xD throwback memory lane and pop off those vocals 🫨😂
Beautiful EXO ❤ Sorry, but those lyrics videos are sooooooo wrong! You realized that during Cinderella, but the others had quite a few mistakes also. Glad to see you react to EXO again. 👋🏼
There are a ton of theories to go along with EXO's "Let Me In" MV, but what makes the most sense to me is that the lyrics are all about EXO's connection with their fans and their teaser images are connected to EXO's powers and storyline. For example, Kai says, "Here I am and everything I do for you is for us ...", which I see connected to the fact that his power is teleportation and it's his job to travel wherever the other EXO members and fans are in order to connect all of us together -- plus, it also could be connected to the scene in their "For Life" MV, where we see a sign that says "You Were Here." Xiumin's teaser highlights the line, "For long-lasting love, I will freeze my heart," referring to his power of frost. Baekhyun says, "To the Future with us who resemble light," referring to his ability to control light. Chanyeol says, "Don't worry if the darkness approaches, I will shine the light toward you, which could refer to his fire power, etc. D.O. also mentioned in their behind the scenes video, that the "Let Me In" MV is a worldview of EXO's lore. If you watch the MV carefully, when time rewinds, D.O.'s notebook showed that he knew the meteor was going to hit Earth. We saw in his notebook that he has drawn a picture of the meteor, which seems to show that he already knew it was coming. And as the MV goes on, it's revealed that actually all the EXO members knew that the meteor was on a collision course for Earth and that it would hit at that exact moment. One theory is that EXO is traveling through time and space and they are trying to prevent whatever happened in the past from repeating itself or they are trying to stop or reverse what happened from happening in the first place, etc. The whole "Let Me In" MV has a feeling like they all are aware of what is happening, as if they have been through this hundreds of times, but they haven't been able to do anything about it yet. The story in "Let Me In" could all be a big reveal of what they were talking about way back in their pre-debut "History" lyrics and MV, because in that song they talk about wanting to prevent history from being repeated. "History" is about failing at something and trying again to make it right. The theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. Which now we may have discovered is the meteor that crashes into Earth and destroys humanity. In "Let Me In" we see Sehun and D.O. sitting at the same outdoor cafe, and they make eye contact but they don't interact because it's thought that EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks on Earth incognito, and so they don't want to be noticed by whomever might be watching them or to reveal their location to the Red Force, etc. Some speculate that when D.O. and Sehun are looking at each other they are silently questioning whether they could use their powers to save the world. But, as we see, D.O. choses to walk away and let everything happen because he knows nothing they have tried in the past has prevented disaster, and they have no better solutions at this time. We also see Sehun sigh and continue talking to his friend, even though he knows what would happen. We then see D.O.pause and stand there, watching Sehun and possibly thinking about what is about to happen. In the next scene, we see Baekhyun is standing at the exact spot where he knew the meteor would hit Earth. We see that everything is dark and void of light, which seems to indicate that he is unable to use his power of light and he is unable to stop the meteor as he watches it hurtle toward him. Then we see that as the meteor hits Earth, the end credits of the movie that Chen was watching started playing, which possibly could be happening in the movie theater we saw Chen and the other EXO members sitting in in their "Love Shot" MV. In "Love Shot" we saw Suho trying to prevent the members from watching the video by covering Chen's eyes. The scene with the end credits seems to be saying that this is the end of the world. However, as we see in the next moment, this was where time rewound and, as they say in EXO's "Call Me Baby" MV Pathcode teaser videos, "The beginning = The End." However, there is something more going on with Chen in the theater, because when Xiumin entered the movie theater, Chen squinted at him. Something seemed off about this scene. If you notice, when you see them laughing together, they seem to be watching a replay of a scene starring themselves before the meteor hit, but why? Another thing to note, is the references to all the rocks. The ones we see the members have seem dormant like normal rocks, until time starts rewinding, then they appear to come to life. The interesting thing is, we only see Chanyeol, Suho and Kai with the rocks. This may symbolize that these three had already experienced the meteor hitting the Earth at some point, and they each kept a fragment of it to help them remember in the future or in another time period what had happened. (Kai, Suho and Chanyeol were also the only members in the "For Life" MV.) When the story focuses on Chanyeol, it looks like he may be standing at the epicenter of where the meteor may have hit the first time it struck Earth or he has traveled back in time to right after the meteor first hit Earth. He looks confused and alone, which seems to parallel his "Call Me Baby" Pathcode teaser and he's recalling what happened. Then we see the stones start to float once again, which looks like it might be the pieces of the original meteor being reactivated like they are coming back together as time reverses. This also reminds me of D.O.'s power, which is the manipulation of Earth elements that give him super strength. In some of EXO's early teaser videos and concert VCRs from the early days, we see that D.O. is able to use his power of force to take giant rocks and use them to stop missiles from hitting their targets. So, was D.O. involved in helping to prevent the original meteor from causing destruction? And nothing in an EXO MV is ever random. For example, I think the child throwing the rock at the beginning is shown for a very specific reason. Many think the fact that he throws the rock is meant to be a metaphor for how the meteor wasn't a natural occurrence, but was actually caused by something man-made. As part of SM's Culture Universe storyline, it is thought that the underlying message the story is trying to address is all the things that we as humans are doing wrong that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, the destruction of the environment, governmental control, greed of money, etc., which is revealed through the interference of the Red Force and their influence on humanity. Therefore, it is thought that someone or something has directed this large rock toward Earth or caused the rock's trajectory to be directed toward Earth. There's also one scene in EXO's "Lucky One" MV where we see Kai in space with lots of meteors, which could be a foreshadowing of things to come. Therefore, some now think "Let Me In" is taking place after EXO has escaped in "Lucky One", which could explain why the members no longer have the ability to use their powers in "Let Me In". The Red Force stopped EXO's ability to use their powers when they were experimenting on them in "Lucky One". We originally thought that the story in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV took place right after "Lucky One," which would explain why they were loopy and unable to control their powers in "Ko Ko Bop", but since their "Obsession" MV part of the story was introduced, we now think that "Ko Ko Bop" is actually all about X-EXO's storyline, EXO's alter ego clones. That's why it is now thought that "Let Me In" is where EXO's story picks up after they escape in "Lucky One." "Let Me In" also could be taking place in conjunction with "Obsession's" part of the storyline, because we see the world being destroyed at the end of "Obsession." Maybe EXO are rewinding time to try to prevent whatever happened, in order to stop the destruction of Earth, which could be caused by the battle between EXO and X-EXO or the Red Force, as we see come to the boiling point in "Obsession". Also, notice how when time was turned back, only Xiumin and Chen, who were in the house, rewound, and everyone else stayed where they were. There are two theories to explain this. Either they are in parallel universes where they can see what is happening, or maybe one of them or some of them aren't EXO members, but they are an X-EXO member in disguise. In another scene, we see time rewind and the rock that Suho had disappears. We think that could be because the "disaster" never happened or hasn't happened yet. Therefore, it is thought that in this reality, EXO must be the only ones who know what happened in a previous time and place because the timeline has been altered or changed. Something must have prevented it from happening, or has changed the events which lead up to the meteor striking Earth, etc. As the time reversed, it gave them another chance, but they have to relive it all before they can figure out how to change things. The most interesting part of this MV storyline, is that there is no eclipse or sun in the video. An eclipse/sun and moon are where EXO gets their powers from. Some speculate that this means that in their next MV there will be an eclipse, which will allow their powers to return. It's pretty clear that the EXO members are unable to use their powers in "Let Me In" because, for example, why wouldn't D.O. just use his power of force to break up the meteor and why would Kai need a car if he is able to teleport wherever he wants to go?
hear me out - fell for the vibe immediately, like it has become a jam song Cinderella - no makeup- another day and then love fool - i love all these songs alot. i'm happy that they gave new good music that's how it was in90s and 2000s and well well, cream soda live is my fav version - like there is something exo do their live songs are better than studio version if that makes sense
Hey Sir Austin, long time no see! I hope you’ve been doing well 🤍 I felt so nostalgic watching you react to exo again. Thank you so much! Exols still love you and are thankful for the support you’ve shown our boys over the years. Looking forward to the killing voice 😊
Is it alright if i ask why sir austin doesn't consider himself an exol anymore? I might be entirely late about the news 😭 and i haven't watched the whole video yett
@@stuckonexoplanet pretty sure he said it on Twitter when he was getting so much hate and then he stopped reacting to anything exo or exo solo. But I could be wrong, it was awhile ago
@@unfoundedidentity he got a lot of hate on Twitter from exols when he started reacting to bts and saying they were his fav, so he stopped doing exo. I don’t blame him. It was awhile ago so I could be remembering it wrong though, but he removed and unfollowed a lot of exo stuff since then
@@stuckonexoplanet He has never stated on Twitter or otherwise that he is not an EXO-L. Unfortunately there were a lot of toxic EXO-L’s attacking him both publicly and in DMs when he choose to start reacting to BTS. It’s was pretty awful and disappointing to say the least. It definitely made things uncomfortable for him but he has never stopped loving EXO! I’m hoping people stop being petty and just let him enjoy whatever it is that he wants to check out on his channel. 💕

It must be mentioned here that the song Cinderella is a work in progress because SM "forgot" to add drums. The producer of this song is playing a short demo on the live stream. It's really awesome ！！！！ Kind of like the winter edition EXO released. But even though it's a work in progress, I still really like it!!!
I did notice that you haven't uploaded much lately and not much interactions on Twitter in terms of EXO updates so I thought you just watched the mvs without recording it. Nonetheless, thank you for this reaction video. I enjoyed it. Watch killing voice and dance practice you'll like it for sure.
and youre back! I am actually waiting for your reaction vids of exo's new album. You should watch Killing Voice. They really did a great job. Exo's back 😁❤
Hi Sir Austin, It's been a while. . To be honest with you, I got upset cause' you are the first person that I am expecting to first react to this comeback ,but knowing just now that you took a long break makes me look stupid. 😢 I'm sorry. I hope you understand, it feels like I miss my best friend for a month and for the entire time that you are not with us I always re-watch all you EXO related to content. I even hide on your exo content during cbx issues and left little notes for you incase. 🥲 thank you for this wonderful reaction. Glad to see your eyes became happy while the this vid progress,your eyes look gloomy on the first part - For whatever reason of you leaving for awhile, I hope and pray that you are okay and safe. If you need someone to talk to, we are always here just tap us ,just like what you said "not all exo songs are flowers and rainbows" ,same goes with life. We are just here for you, were family after all. 🥹✨️💚 huggsss .. love lots , -eri P.S looking forward for EXO Dingo killing voice ❤
I think the length of your hair is wonderful! It gives your hair extra BOUNCE! I hope you've been well. I'm not big on social media but it feels like something happened? Whatever it was(is), I hope it's been resolved and more importantly, you're doing well. Thank you for the EXO reaction. I haven't seen any EXO reactions here lately so this is a really pleasant surprise. Thanks again and take care of yourself. Oh, check out a few EXO live CB stages if you like Cream Soda and have time. They're pretty fantastic and full of energy in their performances. Apparently, Kyungsoo is the talk of the town. PS - Yes, I got a Boy is a BOP! Iconic as heck!
I get what you're saying. It was similar for me as well. I was expecting Monstr / Obsession style & this caught me completely off-guard. But now it's been on repeat since the time it dropped! Cream Soda has taken over everthing to the point that I wake up & it's playing in my head😄No Makeup reminds me of the 90's early 2000's music that I loved (and still love). The Cream Soda dance is insane & their LIVE performances with steady vocals is straight fire. I don't think you're ready for D.O.'s LIVE performances AT ALL. *cue Sehunie saying WARRRNING in Jekyll*
Thank you for this Sir Austin. We have been waiting for you to react to Exo. 🎉🎉 No matter how many groups we love, we will still come back to them... soothing voices and layerings and harmonisatiin.. not all about bang bang bang
The only thing I could think when I saw the Black Tie cream soda outfits was Lord Vampire. Exactly like the male leads from the webtoon and mangas I tend to read. Anyway, I loved that they included Kai's voice in Cream Sodas, the first chorus, the bridge and the outro with Sehun.
The more I listen to the songs, the more I love them. No Makeup was definitely a love at first hear. But I love Cinderella and Love Fool too. Regret It and Private Party are those songs I can't help but 🕺 when they play. But I also got to say that it's always good to listen on Spotify or whichever music platform because the audio is better and with no distractions like wrong lyrics, members etc. It's just music and you. Cream Soda is also really really good. It's my favorite..just a little bit more than the b-sides. My sister likes Hear Me Out more so I guess it just depends on each and everyone's taste and mood.
OMG that is why I love your reactions. Literally no one payed attention to the phone exploding and here you are trying to work out the brand/model/year. And also you always get as excited as me when you hear Kai's singing voice.
Thank you for the video, Sir! It's really nice seeing you back, and seeing EXO back! I love the album, I needed to listen to it a few times before getting really attached to it. My favorite is Hear me out. Please check out also the Dance practice and live performance if you have time :)
I had the same sentiments with this album. The first parts of the songs in this album made me skeptical. The further I listen the more I liked it. For me the vocals and top tier adlibs played a huge part in me liking these songs. If it was another k-pop group who sang these songs it would pretty sure sound awkward in my opinion.
Thank you so so much for the reaction. I usually watch your video of album listening party before checking the whole album myself so yeah thank you so much for this
Same. Still my #1 fav in this album. Especially when i know who the producer is, no doubt that song is my fav. All EXO's songs from LDN Noise are my top favs
I think they had literally just finished filming Let Me In and Hear Me Out right before Kai got the notice, so that's why he didn't get to the chance film Cream Soda.
Thank you thank you for reacting to this!! No Makeup is definitely my favorite out of the b-sides. And Cream Soda completely stole my heart, I think it’s such an awesome and mature song, and there’s this amazing MV to top it off! I can’t waitttttt to see you reacting to Killing Voice ‘cause we know it’s live where EXO shines the most. Back to the album, I’m glad to see them experimenting and not being afraid while showing their improvements vocally (they sound even better if that was even possible). Anyways, I’m so proud of them!! Idk if you’re familiar with all of the CBX drama but I think our boys are so brave and strong, and really dedicated to being artists. Glad to see you back reacting to them, it hits home ❤
Only reactor I’ve seen so far that forgot about Kai’s dog in Let Me In and was just like “Lol there’s no saving your car Kai you silly pie” The rest of us were like “NOOOOOOO, DOGGIE!!!!!” 😂 lmao
thanks Sir Austin for this reaction to Exo.. has been following you since your first song Love Shot where you started to love them.. but i guess things just changed as there are more and more groups out there.. still appreciate your reaction to Exo😢❤ Not all Exo-Ls are bad and put off
Hi sir Austin, we miss you so much I've been coming back to your channel for 2 weeks now to check your reaction, finally I'm so excited and I can't wait for the killing voice Dingo reaction.
So i like this album i kinda understand what do u mean that any of these music dont really caught ur attention i agree bcz for me it has a similar feeling between the songs. The songs are different but the vibe is same. For me let me in really killed me when first release a beautiful ballad. But no makeup and cinderella are really great! ALSO DID U SAW KYUNGSOO CHEST? OMG CREAM SODA IS SPECIAL BCZ WE’VE BE ABLE TO SEE THAT . HE IS REALLY DIFFERENT. PLEASE CHECK THE DANCE PRACTICE AND IF U CAN THE OTHER CONTENT THEY DROPPED REACTION, DANCE PRACTICE AND OTHER STUFF TOO
Hello Sir Austin, wow, it's been ages. I don't remember when was the last time I checked reactions on a daily basis. Recently, I've checked certain here and there.
About Kai, yeah we (and him) were really bummed out that he didn't get to film Cream Soda or participate in the comeback! He was going to, but then he got called to enlist with only one weeks notice. 😢😢 It was annoying too since the comeback had been pushed back.

Cream Soda is one giant euphemism. I mean, Suho and the girl in the car with the foamy liquid running down the windshield? 😏
Kyungsoo in Hear Me Out is so fine. The way he’s vibing keeps taking my attention away from the others. Also, Chen holding his hand in the photo booth melts my heart.
Sehun has been coming for me this comeback. It’s the hair, I think. Normalize male idols having short hair. I’m also in love with his singing voice.
Nice to see you again, Austin! EXO's comeback is everything 😍
Austin you knew damn well they weren’t talking about carbonated soda 22:54🤣🤣
You mean there's sexual innuendo??? I had no idea...
No Makeup is also Baekhyun’s favourite song on the album ❤
Nadooo
✨taste✨
Baby don’t cry is also my fav Exo song of all time!
I missed your exo reactions! Thank you for listening and reacting to their comeback :)

Sir Austin!!!!! It's been too long. So nice to see you again reacting to exo! ❤
I know it! If there is one grup that make you come back that must be EXO kings
Yes, the songs with translation are badly done when they place the parts of each member, like placing in one of the parts that Baekhyun sings to Kai, or in the parts that Sehun sings they placed Chanyeol, etc., hahahah 🤷🏻♀️
Anyway, thx u very much for reacting again to EXO 🥰💕.
The first time i heard this album, i couldn't put my thoughts together or more like i went blank ... I mean, the sounds are so prominent that i needed time to digest it i guess. This album overall is bright( i don't know how else to explain). So after 2-3 listens, i can definitely say i really like this album a lot.
I have been waiting for your reaction😢 I thought you stopped reacting to them altogether I am so happy for this!!!
Thank you for your reactions and always supporting EXO! I’ve been patiently waiting for this!🙏🏻🤍
Another Day, Regret it, No Makeup and Let Me In are my favorites from the album.

Welcome back! but no pressure for you Sir Austin 🤗✨ We're just happy to see you well
There are a ton of theories to go along with EXO's "Let Me In" MV, but what makes the most sense to me is that the lyrics are all about EXO's connection with their fans and their teaser images are connected to EXO's powers and storyline. For example, Kai says, "Here I am and everything I do for you is for us ...", which I see connected to the fact that his power is teleportation and it's his job to travel wherever the other EXO members and fans are in order to connect all of us together -- plus, it also could be connected to the scene in their "For Life" MV, where we see a sign that says "You Were Here." Xiumin's teaser highlights the line, "For long-lasting love, I will freeze my heart," referring to his power of frost. Baekhyun says, "To the Future with us who resemble light," referring to his ability to control light. Chanyeol says, "Don't worry if the darkness approaches, I will shine the light toward you, which could refer to his fire power, etc.
D.O. also mentioned in their behind the scenes video, that the "Let Me In" MV is a worldview of EXO's lore.

Then we see that as the meteor hits Earth, the end credits of the movie that Chen was watching started playing, which possibly could be happening in the movie theater we saw Chen and the other EXO members sitting in in their "Love Shot" MV. In "Love Shot" we saw Suho trying to prevent the members from watching the video by covering Chen's eyes. The scene with the end credits seems to be saying that this is the end of the world. However, as we see in the next moment, this was where time rewound and, as they say in EXO's "Call Me Baby" MV Pathcode teaser videos, "The beginning = The End."
However, there is something more going on with Chen in the theater, because when Xiumin entered the movie theater, Chen squinted at him. Something seemed off about this scene. If you notice, when you see them laughing together, they seem to be watching a replay of a scene starring themselves before the meteor hit, but why?
Another thing to note, is the references to all the rocks. The ones we see the members have seem dormant like normal rocks, until time starts rewinding, then they appear to come to life. The interesting thing is, we only see Chanyeol, Suho and Kai with the rocks. This may symbolize that these three had already experienced the meteor hitting the Earth at some point, and they each kept a fragment of it to help them remember in the future or in another time period what had happened. (Kai, Suho and Chanyeol were also the only members in the "For Life" MV.)
When the story focuses on Chanyeol, it looks like he may be standing at the epicenter of where the meteor may have hit the first time it struck Earth or he has traveled back in time to right after the meteor first hit Earth. He looks confused and alone, which seems to parallel his "Call Me Baby" Pathcode teaser and he's recalling what happened.
Then we see the stones start to float once again, which looks like it might be the pieces of the original meteor being reactivated like they are coming back together as time reverses. This also reminds me of D.O.'s power, which is the manipulation of Earth elements that give him super strength. In some of EXO's early teaser videos and concert VCRs from the early days, we see that D.O. is able to use his power of force to take giant rocks and use them to stop missiles from hitting their targets. So, was D.O. involved in helping to prevent the original meteor from causing destruction?
And nothing in an EXO MV is ever random. For example, I think the child throwing the rock at the beginning is shown for a very specific reason. Many think the fact that he throws the rock is meant to be a metaphor for how the meteor wasn't a natural occurrence, but was actually caused by something man-made. As part of SM's Culture Universe storyline, it is thought that the underlying message the story is trying to address is all the things that we as humans are doing wrong that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, the destruction of the environment, governmental control, greed of money, etc., which is revealed through the interference of the Red Force and their influence on humanity. Therefore, it is thought that someone or something has directed this large rock toward Earth or caused the rock's trajectory to be directed toward Earth.
There's also one scene in EXO's "Lucky One" MV where we see Kai in space with lots of meteors, which could be a foreshadowing of things to come. Therefore, some now think "Let Me In" is taking place after EXO has escaped in "Lucky One", which could explain why the members no longer have the ability to use their powers in "Let Me In". The Red Force stopped EXO's ability to use their powers when they were experimenting on them in "Lucky One". We originally thought that the story in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV took place right after "Lucky One," which would explain why they were loopy and unable to control their powers in "Ko Ko Bop", but since their "Obsession" MV part of the story was introduced, we now think that "Ko Ko Bop" is actually all about X-EXO's storyline, EXO's alter ego clones. That's why it is now thought that "Let Me In" is where EXO's story picks up after they escape in "Lucky One."
"Let Me In" also could be taking place in conjunction with "Obsession's" part of the storyline, because we see the world being destroyed at the end of "Obsession." Maybe EXO are rewinding time to try to prevent whatever happened, in order to stop the destruction of Earth, which could be caused by the battle between EXO and X-EXO or the Red Force, as we see come to the boiling point in "Obsession".
Also, notice how when time was turned back, only Xiumin and Chen, who were in the house, rewound, and everyone else stayed where they were. There are two theories to explain this. Either they are in parallel universes where they can see what is happening, or maybe one of them or some of them aren't EXO members, but they are an X-EXO member in disguise.
In another scene, we see time rewind and the rock that Suho had disappears. We think that could be because the "disaster" never happened or hasn't happened yet. Therefore, it is thought that in this reality, EXO must be the only ones who know what happened in a previous time and place because the timeline has been altered or changed. Something must have prevented it from happening, or has changed the events which lead up to the meteor striking Earth, etc. As the time reversed, it gave them another chance, but they have to relive it all before they can figure out how to change things.
The most interesting part of this MV storyline, is that there is no eclipse or sun in the video. An eclipse/sun and moon are where EXO gets their powers from. Some speculate that this means that in their next MV there will be an eclipse, which will allow their powers to return. It's pretty clear that the EXO members are unable to use their powers in "Let Me In" because, for example, why wouldn't D.O. just use his power of force to break up the meteor and why would Kai need a car if he is able to teleport wherever he wants to go?

Great analysis. I usually just scan these super long posts, but yours kept me engaged to the very end.Good job!!
@@judycasley108 Aww thanks. I try. ;)
Bingeing your exo reactions while on the treadmill 😅 thank you for the Exo love, really resonate with your sentiments as well ❤
It's been awhile since you've done an EXO reaction. We've missed you.
hear me out - fell for the vibe immediately, like it has become a jam song
Cinderella - no makeup- another day and then love fool - i love all these songs alot.
i'm happy that they gave new good music that's how it was in90s and 2000s
and well well, cream soda live is my fav version - like there is something exo do their live songs are better than studio version if that makes sense
Hey Sir Austin, long time no see! I hope you’ve been doing well 🤍 I felt so nostalgic watching you react to exo again. Thank you so much! Exols still love you and are thankful for the support you’ve shown our boys over the years. Looking forward to the killing voice 😊
Is it alright if i ask why sir austin doesn't consider himself an exol anymore? I might be entirely late about the news 😭 and i haven't watched the whole video yett
@@stuckonexoplanet pretty sure he said it on Twitter when he was getting so much hate and then he stopped reacting to anything exo or exo solo. But I could be wrong, it was awhile ago
@@unfoundedidentity he got a lot of hate on Twitter from exols when he started reacting to bts and saying they were his fav, so he stopped doing exo. I don’t blame him. It was awhile ago so I could be remembering it wrong though, but he removed and unfollowed a lot of exo stuff since then
@@stuckonexoplanet
He has never stated on Twitter or otherwise that he is not an EXO-L. Unfortunately there were a lot of toxic EXO-L’s attacking him both publicly and in DMs when he choose to start reacting to BTS. It’s was pretty awful and disappointing to say the least. It definitely made things uncomfortable for him but he has never stopped loving EXO!
I’m hoping people stop being petty and just let him enjoy whatever it is that he wants to check out on his channel. 💕

ooooh where have you been... miss your reactions to EXO. Kyungsoo is really went crazy for this comeback.
It must be mentioned here that the song Cinderella is a work in progress because SM "forgot" to add drums. The producer of this song is playing a short demo on the live stream. It's really awesome ！！！！ Kind of like the winter edition EXO released. But even though it's a work in progress, I still really like it!!!
They added the drums already lol, well at least on Spotify and TH-cam Music
I did notice that you haven't uploaded much lately and not much interactions on Twitter in terms of EXO updates so I thought you just watched the mvs without recording it. Nonetheless, thank you for this reaction video. I enjoyed it. Watch killing voice and dance practice you'll like it for sure.
OMG.. i've been waiting for you .. thank you for your reaction... yesss, i'll be waiting for the killing voice
Thank you for reacting to EXO, EXO is back.❤️
and youre back! I am actually waiting for your reaction vids of exo's new album.
You should watch Killing Voice. They really did a great job.
Exo's back 😁❤
Hi sir austin, welcome back!
Hi Sir Austin,
It's been a while. . To be honest with you, I got upset cause' you are the first person that I am expecting to first react to this comeback ,but knowing just now that you took a long break makes me look stupid. 😢 I'm sorry. I hope you understand, it feels like I miss my best friend for a month and for the entire time that you are not with us I always re-watch all you EXO related to content. I even hide on your exo content during cbx issues and left little notes for you incase. 🥲 thank you for this wonderful reaction.
Glad to see your eyes became happy while the this vid progress,your eyes look gloomy on the first part - For whatever reason of you leaving for awhile, I hope and pray that you are okay and safe. If you need someone to talk to, we are always here just tap us ,just like what you said "not all exo songs are flowers and rainbows" ,same goes with life. We are just here for you, were family after all. 🥹✨️💚 huggsss .. love lots , -eri
P.S looking forward for EXO Dingo killing voice ❤
I think the length of your hair is wonderful! It gives your hair extra BOUNCE! I hope you've been well. I'm not big on social media but it feels like something happened? Whatever it was(is), I hope it's been resolved and more importantly, you're doing well.
Thank you for the EXO reaction. I haven't seen any EXO reactions here lately so this is a really pleasant surprise. Thanks again and take care of yourself.
Oh, check out a few EXO live CB stages if you like Cream Soda and have time. They're pretty fantastic and full of energy in their performances. Apparently, Kyungsoo is the talk of the town.
PS - Yes, I got a Boy is a BOP! Iconic as heck!
I get what you're saying. It was similar for me as well. I was expecting Monstr / Obsession style & this caught me completely off-guard. But now it's been on repeat since the time it dropped! Cream Soda has taken over everthing to the point that I wake up & it's playing in my head😄No Makeup reminds me of the 90's early 2000's music that I loved (and still love). The Cream Soda dance is insane & their LIVE performances with steady vocals is straight fire. I don't think you're ready for D.O.'s LIVE performances AT ALL. *cue Sehunie saying WARRRNING in Jekyll*
NO Makeup, ANOTHER DAY, LOVE FOOL
SON MIS FAVORITAS
Hello sir Austin,,thanks for reaction EXO new album ❤ don't forget to react killing voice EXO ,please 🙏
Sir Austin I missed your reactions on Exo, thank you for coming back
this album is for the grown folks and i love that lol. honestly might be my favorite album of theirs tbh
I missed you reacting to EXO. It really sucks that your website is gone too. I used to revisit you watching EXO Next Door. lol
Thank you for this Sir Austin. We have been waiting for you to react to Exo. 🎉🎉 No matter how many groups we love, we will still come back to them... soothing voices and layerings and harmonisatiin.. not all about bang bang bang
The only thing I could think when I saw the Black Tie cream soda outfits was Lord Vampire. Exactly like the male leads from the webtoon and mangas I tend to read. Anyway, I loved that they included Kai's voice in Cream Sodas, the first chorus, the bridge and the outro with Sehun.
The more I listen to the songs, the more I love them. No Makeup was definitely a love at first hear. But I love Cinderella and Love Fool too. Regret It and Private Party are those songs I can't help but 🕺 when they play.
But I also got to say that it's always good to listen on Spotify or whichever music platform because the audio is better and with no distractions like wrong lyrics, members etc. It's just music and you.
Cream Soda is also really really good. It's my favorite..just a little bit more than the b-sides.
My sister likes Hear Me Out more so I guess it just depends on each and everyone's taste and mood.
OMG that is why I love your reactions. Literally no one payed attention to the phone exploding and here you are trying to work out the brand/model/year. And also you always get as excited as me when you hear Kai's singing voice.
Been waiting for your reaction for a long time. Nice seeing you again. ❤
You were right during cinderella, theres a lot of mistakes in these lyric videos about whos singing.
Thank you for the video, Sir! It's really nice seeing you back, and seeing EXO back! I love the album, I needed to listen to it a few times before getting really attached to it. My favorite is Hear me out. Please check out also the Dance practice and live performance if you have time :)
It's my happiness to share EXO with you.
I love you so much!! from JP🇯🇵
Hello sir austin... exo releases are awesome and also shows their versatility.. cant wait for the killing voice....
They said they had so much fun filming these videos ❤
I’ve been waiting for your reactionssss!❤❤
I had the same sentiments with this album. The first parts of the songs in this album made me skeptical. The further I listen the more I liked it. For me the vocals and top tier adlibs played a huge part in me liking these songs. If it was another k-pop group who sang these songs it would pretty sure sound awkward in my opinion.
Thank you so so much for the reaction. I usually watch your video of album listening party before checking the whole album myself so yeah thank you so much for this
No makeup is my favorite!! 🤭 Thank you Sir Austin!
Same. Still my #1 fav in this album. Especially when i know who the producer is, no doubt that song is my fav. All EXO's songs from LDN Noise are my top favs
I think they had literally just finished filming Let Me In and Hear Me Out right before Kai got the notice, so that's why he didn't get to the chance film Cream Soda.
Actually, Let Me In was filmed during Kai's Rover promotions back in late March and early April.
i miss ur exo reactions. i dont get exos lore too i promise u just gotta just listen to them and chill. welcome back!
"None of y'all have a Samsung?"
Chanyeol does! He has a Galaxy S23 Ultra ☺️
Thank you thank you for reacting to this!!
No Makeup is definitely my favorite out of the b-sides. And Cream Soda completely stole my heart, I think it’s such an awesome and mature song, and there’s this amazing MV to top it off!
I can’t waitttttt to see you reacting to Killing Voice ‘cause we know it’s live where EXO shines the most.
Back to the album, I’m glad to see them experimenting and not being afraid while showing their improvements vocally (they sound even better if that was even possible).
Anyways, I’m so proud of them!! Idk if you’re familiar with all of the CBX drama but I think our boys are so brave and strong, and really dedicated to being artists. Glad to see you back reacting to them, it hits home ❤
I'm glad you are back with EXO. ❤
I really miss your EXO reaction❤❤ Glad to see you reacting the full album🥰
Only reactor I’ve seen so far that forgot about Kai’s dog in Let Me In and was just like “Lol there’s no saving your car Kai you silly pie”
The rest of us were like “NOOOOOOO, DOGGIE!!!!!” 😂 lmao
Exo do it every-timee for mee, they can’t release bad music with vocals like that😭 I don’t think I’ll ever love a group this much
Was waiting for this so much, I kept checking out your channel haha
Wow, its been a long time since an EXO reaction. Enjoyed it as always.
I've been wondering if you're ok. Welcome back Sir Austin, love you and your videos so much
vocal kings!
Thank you for this and finally the comeback is worth to wait and a cure to us exol #CreamSoda #EXO #EXO_EXIST#weareoneEXO
First time I heard this album, I vibe with it altogether thank you for your reaction
Thank you for loving EXO ❤
Yes sir, follow your you heard and your heart 😂 you were right for Cinderella about which member singing 🩵 thanks for react to EXO again
Thank you for reacting to these. I really missed your EXO reactions ❤😢😊
thanks Sir Austin for this reaction to Exo.. has been following you since your first song Love Shot where you started to love them.. but i guess things just changed as there are more and more groups out there.. still appreciate your reaction to Exo😢❤ Not all Exo-Ls are bad and put off
Been waiting for ur reaction! Thanks!
I'M HERE BESTIE!!! 🎉🎉
this makes me happy, thank you😭❤
29:16 yes, they filmed the mv for cream soda days after kai enlisted :(. he is still in the album tho
Hi sir Austin, we miss you so much I've been coming back to your channel for 2 weeks now to check your reaction, finally I'm so excited and I can't wait for the killing voice Dingo reaction.
So i like this album i kinda understand what do u mean that any of these music dont really caught ur attention i agree bcz for me it has a similar feeling between the songs. The songs are different but the vibe is same. For me let me in really killed me when first release a beautiful ballad. But no makeup and cinderella are really great! ALSO DID U SAW KYUNGSOO CHEST? OMG CREAM SODA IS SPECIAL BCZ WE’VE BE ABLE TO SEE THAT . HE IS REALLY DIFFERENT. PLEASE CHECK THE DANCE PRACTICE AND IF U CAN THE OTHER CONTENT THEY DROPPED REACTION, DANCE PRACTICE AND OTHER STUFF TOO
Nice to see you again Sir Austin..
Thank you for reacting!
No Makeup is my favorite out of the b-sides 🔥
Hello Sir Austin, wow, it's been ages. I don't remember when was the last time I checked reactions on a daily basis. Recently, I've checked certain here and there.
About Kai, yeah we (and him) were really bummed out that he didn't get to film Cream Soda or participate in the comeback! He was going to, but then he got called to enlist with only one weeks notice. 😢😢 It was annoying too since the comeback had been pushed back.
EXO dingo killing voice please!!!!!
