I think Jekyll is not underrated especially among EXO-Ls. Most of EXO-Ls choose Jekyll as their best song from Obsession album. For me, Nonstop is the underrated one because I find it so rare to see people liking Nonstop. Personally, my favourite songs from this album are Trouble, Nonstop, Groove and Ya Ya Ya. If I need to add one song as Top 5 top tier song in this album, then yes I will add Jekyll as well.

[@allyciastott2038]

Kai’s voice has always stood out to me in EXO, like you said, even among some of the best vocalists I’ve ever heard. His tone is so unique and yet fits so well with the others. I’ve seen his voice get mistaken as Suho, Baekhyun, and even Kyungsoo in lyric videos over the years and I think it was because people really underestimated what he can do with his tone and range. It’s so nice to see people recognize his vocals 💕 Love your reaction as always! I’m always hoping the artists see your videos because of how much you really appreciate the music and hard work 💕

[@ying5322]

Chanyeol and Kai did surprise me in this album. Kai has more lines and Chanyeol has more singing parts. "Jekyll" is my favourite, but I also love "Obsession", "Trouble" and "Groove". In terms of music genre, this album is different compares to other EXO albums.

[@janmyka332]

[@parkkloeyypcyy9300]

The only thing missing in this masterpiece of an album is that there's no Kyungsoo (for me personally). Just imagine how good he'd be in YaYaYa.

The album is a bop for sure - I recommend the Exodus album (personal favorite for any music album) or The War album: I feel like these two albums just HIT IT. You just...can't skip and even the track order is perfection. Keep doing you xoxo

[@denize2953]

Yess exodus is my favorite too, it's too underrated!!

About kai, he got a unique vocal tone as u may noticed, his voice is like a warm honey and i say always that his voice to me is like a drinking hot chocolate milk powder while looking on the rain, don't ask about it haha🤣😅 those are the vibes I'm getting from him

[@chun5892]

[@tea_jayy]

Caitlyn is all of us when we heard YaYaYa. I'm BEGGING for a live version one day with all 9 members.

[@yourstruly342]

Ahhhhhh exo has THE BEST b-sides in the industry….every album is a no skip. So glad that you’re getting more into their discography. My fave off of this album is Jekyll, I love how dark it is and the chant-like chorus is *chef’s kiss*…blasting it on a late night drive through town😩

[@eseoefe_]

Exactly! Jekyll is basically based on "Jekyll & Mr Hyde" so that's why in the chorus you've got the more "agressive" parts (Jekyll singing a.k.a x-exo) and the softer parts (Mr Hyde a.k.a exo). The song also implies that exo and x-exo are basically two parts of the same person hence the "I'm in control", "I'm already in you" or " Your voice that cries out in my head" lyrics. It's so cool how they made this song because you can pin point the moments exo transforms into x-exo and how they warn us that they are coming

[@EXO-L-ls8qj]

It's actually reversed. Dr. Jekyll is the more timid, kind man, and Mr. Hyde is the dark, evil man that comes out after he drank his own test drug. Hyde is the dark alter ego that only comes out at night when Dr. Jekyll relinquished control of himself, or something like that.

[@ahandlebar]

Kai's voice is just to smooth

[@sunitarawat1974.]

idk why im crying cause my group is 9 years old and people still reacting to them and stanning them like they just debuted!!! I mean the hype for exo is still there and its crazyy!!!! People still fall for them..Since 9 years no one came like kai who can dance better than him, Baekhyun, chen, kyungsoo remains the top 3 vocalist in kpop! Chanyeol - multitalentedddddd is still one of the best rappers..xiumin still looks like the youngest in the grp and hopefully gonna debut with his solo album, sehun multi talented king..the way he supports his hyungs😭✋and i couldn't find and i don't think i'll ever find better leader than suho🤧 and don't let me start with lay- He is on another level. uff feels like nothing has changed😭 and ofc exols patiently waiting for exo is most purest thing i have ever seen😌 Love y'all

[@xoxokdyo]

Trouble is THAT ho'e song, i love it so much and i scream so hard when i saw your reaction to it. AND YES suho's voice is freaking incredible and underrated, i love him. Thank you so much for appreciating Kai's voice 🥺❤️ This album is insane from start to end.

[@karl9eli]

I love how the Jekyll chorus sounds like it’s a conversation between their EXO and X-EXO sides!

[@ashleym5440]

When I first heard this album it wasn’t my favorite and then I noticed that the first song Obsession ends with them saying ‘disappear’ and ‘go away’ with them breaking their necks and ending with butterfly effect saying “saving my life” and we are angels and finally “dont leave”. After that I realized how amazing this album is, so unique. It’s really a masterpiece album.

[@Ms.Shahad9]

OBSESSION ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS EVERRRRR

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

Baekhyuns 'ooh' at 13:40 gets me everytime haha I'm ready for an EXO CBX reaction

[@doodlemunchkin2222]

Oh YES the Obsession album-YESSS I was quite literally obsessed with this one when it came out and had it on loop, and quite frankly-not much has changed. Can’t believe it was released in 2019, yet I’m still not tired of any of the songs. Also Grove? And Kai’s part on that second verse??? Yes put some respekt on Queen Groove’s name~! They all ran that, but I’m telling u-that song was perfect for Kai and Suho’s vocal colors. (And FYI: Ya Ya Ya is basically the black EXO-L national anthem now lol. They really had the balls to take on a sample from a 90’s r&b girl group like SWV that was meant for Ceradi, and said: “yeah, I think we got enough soul for this”, and delivered?! EXO finna be invited to the BBQ if they don’t chill lol)

[@trancedoutkid]

D.O. already had an invite and the rest of the boys were like "let us slide on in here too...."

[@diw9938]

I was laughing loud at 01.45 a.m seeing your reaction when kai said "Girl your my godess "..omg caitlin...you are so cute...

[@yamicharles]

yayaya is in fact in the top 3 of exo songs!

[@withchanyeolalways]

Chanyeol’s voice shines through this entire album. The extra level of spice that his husky vocals give to songs, IMMACULATE! And you can hear his harmonies so clearly in the background! Also, the way he switches so easily between tapping and singing, a rare talent!

[@jssana8325]

God I love his voice so much!!!!

[@cynthiaarcher3345]

That SWV sample was EVERYTHING! That beat and EXO's lyrics made this an ultimate bop!!! At first I was like, nah they ain't sampling what I think they sampling, and then that bum bum bum bum came in and I was like OKAY OKAY we going there, alright now!!😂🙌

[@Loey-sd5cu]

Obsession is just them flexing their individual vocal colors while creating wonderful harmonies plus the production of each songs are just topnotch. 🤧

[@nalalala7584]

I will NEVER get over ya ya ya.. I would give a lung to hear a swv x exo colab, drowning in honey😍 but them harmonising with them in the song was just so ivdjsnsosnsjs🤧

Remember that Billboard choose Obsession as the best among the best song that was release in 2019 making it number a month after it was released ❤ it beats all the song that was released on 2019 so yeah obsession supremacy ❤

The way I'm excited for you to check out "The War"😭😭 it's my favorite kpop album EVER alongside f(x)'s "Pink Tape"😌

[@exomylight3265]

Obsession's concept is superior and unique in whole kpop industry, i miss obsession era i wanna go back.

[@yulinakriswandari9422]

OBSESSION is my top 3 of EXO albums to be honest even tho there's no D.O. which is my ultimate bias, in this era. The flavor of each song is just chef's kiss.

[@havok97818]

Watching people react to Ya Ya Ya has been one of my most favorite things since this album dropped. Nobody is ready lol. EXO really came through with the SWV sample and slayed it so effortlessly. I can only imagine how much more incredible it would have been If Kyungsoo wasn't in the middle of his military service at the time.

[@Baekkie_bae]

EXO is definitely on another level all the discography is insane!!!🔥🔥

[@bklyngirl913]

Ohhhh I like this translation video. They even put in who does the adlibs. Love this album because Channie, Kai and Sehun had the opportunity to show more vocals Ya Ya Ya is just perfection and nostalgia. Love It! Your reaction to it was all of our reactions!! LOL
