Diamond is MY JAM!! it makes me feel like I'm on some island and twerking on a surfboard

[@soo3950]

you make me laugh :')

[@nameisamine]

Jenn P. Omg I didn't like diamond I feel like there's something wrong with me, I literally like every other song. I'm so glad Karen questioned the same bit I didn't like. I thought I was the only one.

[@kaioshinn_]

Jenn P. My favourite off the album :-D

[@raynee6668]

Jenn P. GURL😭😫

[@nhudao2772]

"twerking on a surfboard" best fucking comment 😂😩

[@seoulrainme]

Karen acted a fool LMFAO, She wasn't readyyyyyy XDDD I'm glad that bed was there lol.

[@genessismendoza3640]

😂😂😂

[@ActuallyAnanya]

Glad to see someone have the same exact reaction to What U Do! That song makes me feel happy to be alive tbh

[@ActuallyAnanya]

PS Happy Birthday to your mum

[@onlycb__6149]

ActuallyAnanya that song is my fav ever...i was so addicted to it...😭

[@yhofofifj5474]

You are my spirit animal!! I am pretty sure every song on this album could be a title track tbh EXO are literal legends EDIT: Happy Birthday to your mum! 😂

[@elvergalarga384]

I literally died when she was reacting to 'What U Do'. Starting in the minute 4:20

[@89ceilidh]

Oscar Caro Alcantara I love her so much! She just dances and throws herself on her bed and 😍😍😍 Such genuine reactions and joy!

[@genessismendoza3640]

[@9niverse]

Btw MZMC is Marz Music who is a bop-making producer! He worked on Taemin's 'Drip Drop', NCT U's 'The 7th Sense' and EXO's 'Artificial Love', 'They Never Know' and 'One & Only'

[@afrominx]

I knew that name looked familiar! All my fave bops! Yes!

[@hibadebbaghnour8960]

I KEEP REFRESHING YOUR PAGE JUST TO GET THIS OMG YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF FIRST LISTENS The eve is my favorite track btw

[@AwesomeWay]

Hiba Debbagh I agree with you !!! "THE QUEEN OF FIRST LISTENS" 😉👍

[@sa___runn7528]

yeas i love the eve and chill second fav is Touch it

[@irsps2949]

yaaaas! the eve and going crazy

[@Sol-sc6xg]

YAS the queen of first listen thats how your name should be

[@marcelagabka7181]

Hiba Debbagh Eve is my fav too😁

[@AwesomeWay]

This is the first EXO's album when I love every song in there ❤❤❤

[@thegoldentb7596]

I agree! Trappy, R&B Kpop is my favorite music genre and that was practically every single song in this album!

[@coffeeespresso6082]

Me to

[@victoriajaimes5905]

SAME. I hardly buy whole albums on iTunes but this one was just so GOOD

[@lthb]

You are the kind of people I want to hangout with and fangirl about exo lol

[@lambinabush]

This entire album was a bop, such high quality music, we've been blessed by EXO my, What U Do and Touch It are my two favourites, they're amazing.

[@teenagefirework1]

I notice everyone likes the album BUT people either hate or love 'Diamond', there is no in-between. I love 'Diamond' but I've seen a few people that have it last on their list of ranking. That middle eastern feeling Diamond's bridge evokes is giving the gays everything they wanted.

[@choikai8500]

Search 'EXO KO KO BOP MV' on KZbin To Climax! honestly i hate diamond , when i first listen to it. but the second, third.. i actually love it

[@teenagefirework1]

'Diamon' is one of my favorites, that bridge gets me every time. It's so sexy.

[@oshado]

diamond is a bop like that beat drop and kai vocals?????

[@devinitii]

"Giving the gays everything they wanted" you damn right 😂

[@CosmoQueen2900]

Watch EXO 'KO KO BOP' MV on KZbin To Climax! People sometimes judge too fast. It took a few listens cuz it was so different for them but damn I loved it!!

[@bambibam5009]

You are the queen of First LISTEN. I actually think this album is in the same level as exodus. But not one song did beat my all time fave "El dorado" Going crazy and forever are my fave but I love each song of this album. And happy birthday to your mom god bless you and your family. Love u. #german_exol

[@kyoongies863]

LOL WHEN YOU FELL ON YOUR BED

[@malena6580]

The eve is my favorite

[@budilesmana5203]

THAT'S WHY KYUNGSOO (D.O) IS MY BIAS!!!!! HE'S TO BEAUTIFUL TO HANDLE!!!! WHEN EVERYONE GOES CRAZY ABOUT CHANYEOL,SEHUN,OR KAI, I GOING CRAZY OVER D.O!!!!!!!!

[@mirela23b75]

your first listens are giving me life!!!!!!!!!!!!!and yes 😭😭😭 Sehun is singing in the eve

[@zazi_555]

you dont know how much i waited for this !! thank you

[@nikol966]

EXO KILLIN US LIKE IT AINT NOTHING WHO ALLOWED THEM DAMMIT

[@TheJileyProduction]

What U Do is a BOPBOPBOP. Your reaction was so relatable 👏👏

[@elpart2374]

my fav part was when kyungsoo ruined karen @ 12:37 with his angelic vocals but then chanyeol resurrected her straight after by spitting fire, same girl same

[@elpart2374]

the queen of reactions

[@anki_yt]

I was so happy watching this video.. Glad someone enjoyed it as much as me. It topped every exo album for me.

[@remstage586]

I love RnB slow songs so Exodus has that but unlike Exodus I actually now like every song on this album. I had to listen to Chill in my car before I liked it. I almost had to stop playing it on first listen. Now I really enjoy it. They are both great. I still play Exact in it's entirety because it was connecting with me. However, I do skip a couple of songs here and there. You know what only time will tell but The War might be my new fav.

[@KpopLovers4eva88]

OH MY GOD I HAD TO PAUSE AT WHAT U DO BCS YOUR REACTION HAD ME LAUGHING ON THE FLOOR IM CRYING 😭

[@l.c.6282]

I'm impressed at how you recognize everybody's voices. It's also great that you acknowledge writers, composers, producers etc.

[@abi-yx5wl]

Omg this first listen made my dayyyyy ❤️

[@windhashiira]

Your thumbnail is the most relatable thing I've ever seen tbh.

[@sizoui3548]

Xiumin asking Chanyeol if he feels good now in Touch it make me have some 19+ thoughts when I understood the whole song. Thank you Chen. This album is amazing! I actually like all the songs. ALL! And your reactions are the best! shimmy shimmy kokobop I really like it

[@glennadamreisch]

Finally did a full listen and my. god. Forever's gotta be my #1 because the musicality with the chromatic scales is just _high level_. And Going Crazy is the runner-up b/c I don't think I've ever heard anyone actually use the bottom key of a piano before. Actually. Ever. :)

[@nikol966]

YAAASSSSS GURL GET IT

[@xzzkat]

I've never related to anyone on such a level before wow

[@safak7029]

omg you're so cute as always you made me burst into laugh every single minute 😂

[@danieloshu]

Always when I watch your reactions , first listens, twitter, etc... You always take the words right out of my mouth, it's strangely amazing how much we are alike 😅 Love U girl 💙

[@AwesomeWay]

Love your reaction ❤❤❤ Awesome as always !!!!!

[@dearvernon]

My top 4: 4. Walk On Memories or What you do? (Idk) 3. Forever 2. Going Crazy 1. Touch it

[@kyungsoo_-cx3si]

.You're not alone😂😂😍

[@RoyallyPrincess]

GIRL!!!!!! Your reaction was basically my reaction. Not even kidding. I resonated with this so much. I can't... EXO wants to kill me. Seriously. I love all of the tracks. I feel you on that twerking to "Forever". I don't know if this album beats EXODUS. Honestly, I think it ties with it. I know that my first reaction to EX'ACT wasn't as good as my first reaction to THE WAR is, so that's definitely something. Full album (not minis) order for me is probably THE WAR/EXODUS, EX'ACT, XOXO. My favorite tracks from this album are: 1. *What U Do?* (honestly, this should be their second title track. IT'S SO GOOD!!!! I mean "Love you right"? XD) 2. *Ko Ko Bop* (I love the chill vibe. Even the breakdown is chill to me) 3. *Forever* (this song is title track material tbh. The rap Chanyeol & Sehun did is _everything_! Would love to see a performance of this.) 4. *Diamond* (the chorus is so hypnotic to me, I luv ^_^) 5. *Going Crazy* (I like this track. I love the bits of EDM, gives it color. The song gives me HURT vibes) 6. *Touch It* (my 90s R&B jam, a nice classy sexy tune) 7. *Walk On Memories* (this song is so beautiful. I like the feeling I get when I listen to it. Reminds me of Cloud 9) 8. *Chill* (I love the song _now_, but I thought the WHOLE song would sound like the teaser =.=) 9. *The Eve* (I like this song, just not as much as the others. Plus, I think it's too short.)

[@laula9158]

D.O. rapping in Chill got me so shook! This whole album was like a full experience! The teasers were really tricking us 😂 I really can not say if this beats EXODUS since this album was really good but I was really hoping for a song like What If 2.0 since that it is my all time favourite EXO song

[@yrblue1955]

The War Album is so great Perfect for Wet Summer Night 🌃

[@ymz25]

I agree with you on Forever - Chen is coming to steal my heart recently but I have to stay loyal to baby Baekhyun!!!

[@ariadnedollx]

I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS YOU'RE HYPING ME UP AGAIN OMG I'M CRYING 😭😭💗💗

[@kimmemegyutheclumsypuppy7762]

I'm living for "What U Do" ;w;w; It's so good !!!!

[@moccaslova]

Your comment about Forever really matched mine. It's my favorite song in the album. I absolutely love how unpredictable it is. I couldn't guess where it was going in the first listen. In the teaser I thought it sounded so theatrical almost like Overdose but then it took different form and morphed into this electro beats. And yes about Diamond. The shining shining part doesn't really fit in the whole atmosphere of the song. It feels like it simplifies the other glorious parts but not in a good catchy way. I love your reaction. It's so genuine and funny and relatable. 😍

[@milicamilosavljevic5563]

Am I the only one whose fav track is Diamond??? And I think that this album was VERY good,but in my opinion nothing can beat EXODUS... ;)

[@moonh1737]

I always enjoy a lot your first listens because they're so relatable and you pay attention to aspects like production, writing, etc. Your first listen to this album is exactly the same as mine, btw. The Eve and Forever are my absolute favs.

[@jujuwu9991]

Your first listens are life

[@duncanewe]

really love ur reaction. is so real. u really recognize all the member voice and understand they music! Subscribe!

[@Leillanny]

Can't believe people aren't liking the bop that is diamond, they missing out

[@suganeedssomekookie9658]

I'm an Army. I think DO's vocal slays!!! My favourite song is the eve, then forever, title song and the last song.

[@chronos6259]

YOU ARE LITERALLY MY COFFEE - THIS REACTION GAVE ME LIFE

[@EdgarRodriguez-sq8io]

You're reaction video are so fun!! Keep being you 💯💯

[@the_sojourner8756]

Exodus was honestly such a monumental album for EXO like El Dorado and Exodus. But yeah EXACT was okay for me, but I loved The War it was absolutely amazing! Forever, The Eve, Chill, Walking on Memories just amazing. Exo evolved so much from 2012 to 2017 and I'm so proud of their growth and being an exo-L

[@amesakurako1]

Fav songs on first listen are What U Do and Chill, I feel like Walk on Memories will grow on me bc of the Moonlight and Love Love Love feels😍😍😍😍

[@amesakurako1]

Also same here not sure if it beat exodus, bc that album is the holy bible of everything exo. Mostly because we all waited like 4 years for el dorado to drop!!!

[@bouncycoconuts2151]

Usually I only like a few songs in an album, but this had me SNATCHED. Chill is my favorite song

[@linrnmd4921]

I love that you point out who’s singing. ❤️❤️❤️

[@livvydx9871]

You truly are the queen of first listens your reactions got me crying 😂😂

[@syazwina21]

This is my first time watching your reaction video and I really love it! 😍 I love the way you enjoyed this album coz I'm too! 😁👏 Honestly, I thought no album will beat or be at similar level with EXODUS but I'm really surprised when I listen to The War! I can't choose my favourite songs in this album coz all songs are masterpieces! 💖 My favorite full albums : 1. EXODUS/The War (can't decide coz both are really really good!) 2. XOXO (so many feels in this album, OT12, EXO Showtime (I listened to most of the songs through this show first and I fell in love deeply with all the songs when I listen to the album), and this album made EXO becomes hit in both Korea and worldwide mostly in Asian countries) 3. EXACT. Probably coz it took quite some time for me to actually enjoy all songs and love EXACT. Anyway, I really love all EXO's songs including the ones in their winter albums and Japanese album! 💖 Universe and Countdown are so amazing! I'm excited to see what else can EXO bring to us coz they have released so many bops for these past 6 years! 🤩

[@LaDawnDawnny]

Girl I feel the same as you EXACTLY!! I just heard for the first time yesterday! I always love your first listens. And girl you was getting it! GO GIRL! 🔥🙌🏾

[@baekm0ng]

Girllll... your mind! we intelligent really loves What U Do

[@pumpkinhead1997]

Exodus is still my favourite album ever BUT The War definitely killed and destroyed Exact!! Right now I think my order would be Exodus, The War and then XOXO

[@bjce222]

karen i fucking love you

[@kmf4967]

I couldn't help but jam out with ya girl!!

[@kijibacon6972]

WE HAVE THE SAME REACTION AT KAI'S PART IN CHILL OMGGG I'M ALSO SHOOKT AS FCKK

[@giftb3438]

The album was fire. It was lit, not one bad track or a track that was not as good.I think my favs are forever and eve besides ko ko bop. Everything was great, it's gonna be on repeat for me for a while. Great first listen by the way, I was dancing the same way you were, I was going off cuz it was so good.

[@majidx3586]

I just wish they did a music video for The Eve & What U do .. I don't understand why in Kpop they only do like two MV for each album

[@taizidianxia385]

OMG THIS IS THE BEST FIRST LISTEN OF THE WORLD ASKJDHAS I LOVE IT

[@raquelreqz]

thanks for this reaction :) btw loved the thumbnail haha

[@Catlady29]

hahahaha you're a doll. This is the first album since XOXO where I've loved EVERY song. SO good. Love Diamond.

[@SuperStarfire88]

YES!! Sehun and Xiumin finally got lines! D.O., Baekhyun, and Chen stayed slaying with the adlibs in this album!

[@nameisamine]

YOU WERE LIVING LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM. IMO EXO will never top Exodus and they should try. Just like MJ shouldn't try to top Thriller. Exodus is their thriller imo. I agree with you ex'act took a while to digest and didn't have high replay value for me as a full body of workout but this album I instantly hooked me. 1.exodus 2.the war 3.exact 4.xoxo

[@ilona2438]

GIRL IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FIRST LISTEN FOR THE WHOLE DAY!!!! Im so happY your reactions are always one of my favorites - especially first listens because youre always so into the songs which i LOVE. And this first listen is the best omgsggsgs i can see how much youre liking the album and i loved your opinions on the songs too (we shared kind of the same thoughts hehe)! (: My current ranking of the songs would be like: 1. Going Crazy 2. Forever 3. Chill 4. Touch It 5. The Eve 6. Walk On Memories 7. What U Do 8. Diamond and i honestly dont know where to put kokobop but i love it as well! Overall this album was very good in my opinion. The songs were very well producted which makes me so happy because ngl exact was a little bit of a disappointment to me because all of the tracks sounded like there wasnt much production and as if the songs were undone so this definitely topped exact for me. But i still dont think this topped exodus for me either! That album will always be my fav~

[@otakuriser]

The amount of heart attacks I had while listening to this album were TOO MUCH.

[@NGermaineN]

YESSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ! LIKED BEFORE WATCHING IT

[@Catlady29]

I watch this every year because I love your reactions

[@callmeminseok4855]

was waiting for this video hahaha going crazy is my favorite track i really love chanyeol's rap in it i think it has the smoothest transitions!! i would say the touch that the war is missing that would have pushed it over exodus would be lay's vocals. he would have been perfect in walk on memories :/ that being said the line distribution was really good and xiumin killed it (also love your hair it's so cute)

[@suikalabsICHII]

I prayed for your neck but my own neck was in danger of falling off coz I just kept on nodding my head with all the comments you had for the songs and the entire album. I agree that it definitely beats EX'act in my books but I guess EXODUS just had more mid-tempo songs and ballads that I really, really love (Hard to beat El Dorado, What If, Promise, and My Answer). BUT since they released this with summer in specifically in mind, I'd say it's perfect. THE PRODUCTION IS AMAZING that at some parts, it's kinda hard to wrap my head around what's happening hahaha. And I love it because I was totally slayed in the way I didn't expect.

[@macipiink]

my girl YOU were me sjsjs I can't with the vocals in what u do the layered vocals KILLED ME they went off this album the rapping the singing the PRODUCTION WAS INSANE.

[@carlybwago1351]

Diamond is a bop. It reminds me of Danity Kane for some reason. I just wanna body roll my way to Egypt.

[@spudette3088]

YASS, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

[@vyuni9220]

i'm so early the only quality available is 360p haha. i'm so excited you did a first listen to this! i love your reactions the most you're literally the cutest thing. for me personally i don't think it's as good as exodus or even ex'act, but it's still a really and truly solid album. kings really did that. also i see you wining karen! get it girl!!

[@vyuni9220]

and happy birthday to your mum! i keep editing and stuff as i watch haha ;;

[@msmultifandom9810]

[@jadelee7411]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! This album is sO GOOD and the line distribution deserves a round of applause.

[@TheDrumsofDharma]

I absolutely love your channel. Your breakdown and analysis on the track is always on point. I like how you give credit to the producers and the people behind the scenes of the music. Your accent is so cute! Style for days, as well. 'What U Do?' is my favorite cut too, so of course, I loved your reaction to it. XD

[@ninabalante3698]

the best and most legit reaction ever

[@ingrid5944]

18:17 receiving the holy spirit hahahahahaha omg I'm dead with this, this is so me 😂😂😂😂😂 I WAS ALMOST CRYING WHEN I FIRST LISTENED TO WALK ON MEMORIES, IS SO FUCKIN PRETTY, OMG 😭😭😭💕💕💕💕

[@juilianamello]

THIS WAS THE BEST FIRST LISTEN I'VE EVER SEEN FOR THE WAR I was smiling the whole video watching you jamming to every song bc I relate in a spiritual level

[@elsemr]

I just had to come back and rewatch this hahahaha! It's still one of my fave reactions ever!! 🙌🏻😂

[@chanarlyyhydude5366]

I swear down you are acc me omg - when you dropped on that I said "she's gone"😂😂😂😂😂

[@467loveu]

I'm pretty content living by myself, being single but when I hear this album I. NEED. TO. MARRY. WHAT U DO.

[@lucygrant6022]

You are so cuute, SUBSCRIBED! 🤗❤😗

[@fnu2381]

let's watching Kai's drama "Andante" eps 1-5, u can see the real Kim Kai

[@IveHope87]

This is the greatest 1st listen of all time, I’ve watched at least 10 times 🤣💖

[@Jade-oh5tl]

we all got shook by the quality of this album the kings never disappoint ;))

[@Yarnah1]

I was about to say that The War is better than EXODUS, but then El Dorado played at the end and I felt so guilty for thinking The War is better. I think she's right by saying that The War nearly dethroned EXODUS by a small touch. Even when you search "The best k-pop album of all time" on Google, EXODUS is the first to be shown. EXODUS IS LEGENDARY!!!
