RV I&S Monster is SM's most well thought releases this year. A super solid title track and the superb album as well. I've never a subunit that debuted as strong as them.

[@Frandahab]

Facts

[@jessicajones9223]

All those efforts, only for SM to de-hyped them though. With the one late MV release. But it begs the question of why tf it was late?? Some said due to the CG. Some said it's because the original scene is way spicier so they had to cut and tone it down...

[@Frandahab]

@@jessicajones9223 I don't think it was spicier as in gayer or anything like that. I was reading through some stuff and people were mentioning how Irene's scene with a knife on the teaser wasn't in the MV and about the age classification of the MV. My thoughts as of now are that mainstream media wanted to make it rated R because of some of the more edgy scenes, but that's bad for business for SM, so they toned it down so they got the PG13. But it's all speculation.

[@strawcheriwijeon1911]

Can’t agree more, cause surprisingly i love all the songs in the album. It was just so good. It suited my taste so well im not even exaggerating

[@DoubleMonoLR]

I was disappointed in it personally, it pretty much just followed the current trend at the time. I think Naughty would've been a better choice as the title track, I also thought the 'Irene'/Episode 2, and definitely 'Uncover' were better songs. It was certainly a better title track than Queendom for the recent full group comeback though, that was very weak, basically just a routine kpop song. That album seemed clearly the weakest so far, as the previous ones were very good.

[@MatthewGaither]

My take on Monster has always been that Irene and Seulgi are two devils/demons/monsters living inside someone's brain and they fight for control over their host in their own seductive and sneaky way. The sexiness is there because both "monsters" see themselves as seducers rather than the type that would overpower someone physically. They want the host to give up control of their own free will because they have been completely taken in by the monster's charms. The song and MV for Monster is about which one will ultimately end up in control. Seulgi is in control in the opening scene but Irene eventually wins and is seen in control at the end. That's my take.

[@dindapu3]

I love this group of reactors. The different focus each pairing had was refreshing and opened my eyes to aspects of the song that I never noticed before. I also like how they show more about their personalities when they talk about parts they noticed or liked/disliked. Thanks for another great video!

The two guys' breakdown of the snaps and claps and chicken was very good. Really interesting stuff.

[@redvelvetcore]

i think this one is actually one of my favorite videos of this section, they were all so well spoken and had actually arguments and not just 'i dont like it and thats it' vibe, loved this one!

[@figgynewts56]

So I absolutely love that you try to simplify what they are saying, yet still don't dumb it down so much that it is boring. I still have no clue what they are talking about... even with the little explainations underneath. I love learning new terms even if I dont understand them right off the bat. As someone who enjoys music a lot, but knows very little about it, this gives me an idea of what to look up to understand more. Quality content as always.

I love when they go to the piano. It's like the weather person going to the weather map, to let you know what's going on.

[@rogiecortez6904]

[@rogue8059]

I just think Monster is one the most well thought music released this year. Everything was done so well, the concept was new, they have to train for 4 months just to do the choreo and the production wasn't done spontaneously but with actual purpose and according to concept and their voice fits so well together and fit so well with the song

[@jmeind]

its amazing how much detail each of them got from 1 sitting. Like wow.. goes to show how each of their backgrounds are not just for show ppl. Great content. would love more of it

[@jafnaazzahra8930]

It feels good to see this account active again because none of the other reactors can explain in detail about a song. I mean I don't just want to hear "oh this song is good" but I want to know why it can sound good. I miss the funny reactions of the old reactors, but I also like seeing new faces. I think they will give a new perspective on kpop. and btw, I hope you guys react to the new Seventeen song titled Home Run because I think the song is very unique, they take a vintage retro concept. I can't wait to hear you guys opinion :D

[@gee.e7644]

monster is such a taunting song everything about it is so strong and powerful but it reminds me of almost like a child mocking you if that makes sense, like a sort of “i know something you dont know” and i think that because of the chorus part with the little noises in the back is what gives it such a deathly curious vibe, it also plays into the story of there being a almost like an imposter within the two of them, one of them thinks they hold the power of this monster within the two (this also shows in the choreo and lyrics too) but the other one knows that its just a facade to trick the other and they are actually the ring leader of this 1 monster being so called controlled by “two”.
