Trouble is my absolute favorite on this album and definitely top 5 from EXO.

[@aanginsepoy]

"Jekyll was sexy, but that was like _sexy_ " - PD, 2020

[@e.mpathy]

the fact that no one appreciated Suho's vocal on Groove is a crime

[@notmyname3556]

He carried the whole song imo. While others add the flavours with their vocal colour

[@SUKURA2810]

Its Suho ´s problem, he takes the weight of most of the songs but is severly let him Shine in the High parts, so many dont appreciate the good artist that he is

[@rayaaquino2256]

trueeee :( His chorus part is literally my favorite. He’s an amazing vocalist

[@anzelatte6993]

Who says that! Omg like Suho has the most soothing voice I have ever heard! Like an angel it makes me cry. 😢❤️

[@therearenogirlsontheinternet_]

suho's voice carried this album but people aren't ready for that conversation yet 😗✌️

[@Setetoto]

PD looked so confused at the beginning of jekyll. If that wasnt basically all of us at the first listen 😂

[@thechigirl2498]

We shouldn't have been surprised with the name being jekyll...yet we were lol

[@mssmia04]

Big Facts! I saw his face and screamed "SAME SIR!" Lol

[@janelmacugay6427]

HAHAHAHAHAHA TRUEEEE

[@beatriceevita8591]

and after few listen of it I used to repeat the song so many time

[@haladriels]

The amazing thing about EXO is that their releases never feel stagnant, each album shows how they are improving musically as well as how they can utilise any genre.

Honestly, they are the STANDARD for progress in discography among 3rd gen kpop artists.

[@ryusinclair8706]

They said "KPOP IS EXO"

[@nctzenid8973]

So true!

[@ashleym5440]

This album is actually such a masterpiece because you can hear the good and evil sides singing to Exo-L’s like in the Mv. All the light tone songs are singing about for us to stay while the other songs about leaving and not to stay. It had to grow on me but once I figured it out it’s one of my favorite albums from them.

[@Alie_R]

YES UP UP 🙌🏼

[@w.s.p.y9756]

Wow now that you mention that ... 👏👌😌

groove kinda reminds me of elevator music, it’s such a good song omg

[@sa.kuzya_]

Omg yes it does! This music is so amazing

[@notmyname3556]

From what I checked, it's a mix of various genres and elevator music is definitely one them

[@kyungso_o126]

I think the instrumental would definitely make a great elevator music lol

[@lasubsub7578]

[@fawnicism]

Lmao what 🗿

[@user-ox6bi9qi1y]

the thing about EXO is that if you listen to their albums, they touch all the genres - rock, rnb, ballad, jazz, hiphop, etc. there is basically nothing they can't do _in short : stan EXO if you want quality_

[@AI-bw3bh]

Well, actually they have one thing that they can't do. Cut a cake, especially a birthday cake.

I was waiting for you to lose your shit when you listen to Jekyll and Groove. Especially the flute part in Groove. 14:29 Your reaction was exactly how I imagined it would be 😂

[@shannonthewiseaprilfool9044]

I was thinking the same thing...PD's facial expression during the "jazz flute" as he called it...priceless

[@kjid5992]

I mean only true intellectual can appreciate the Masterpiece Groove and Jekyll. All album is amazing and one of THE BEST

[@maesymae]

13:40 Sehun raps with some distortion while Chanyeol has the velvety rap

[@5lovelycarrots]

What i love about the album is it ties in with the X-EXO vs EXO concept, the first few songs are quite dark and seductive which ties in with the concept of X-EXO and then the second half of the album sounds lighter and more positive like EXO

[@ohoratkkaebsong]

13:20 yes that was sehun rapping at first and then chanyeol did the light and velvety rapping Honestly that rap verse was so good! Both sehun and chanyeol complement each other so well

[@farahfranco7149]

it was actually chanyeol at first with the "come on shine" line then sehun part came after and it went back to chanyeol

[@kwangyagal]

faeri well it was sehun then chanyeol doing the velvety part then sehun then chanyeol

[@OhMeeno]

Come on shine was chanyeol then sehun chanyeol sehun chanyeol respectively. Sehun did both the sultry sounding raps

[@odetowren]

I didn’t know pd giving a chef’s kiss to exo was what I needed in life till now

[@Cla226]

This album is a masterpiece, the songs have a clear R&B influence, it’s so sultry and nice but at the same time it goes hard, they did an amazing job, also their vocals are incredible.

[@TheKaber19]

I'm a new k-pop fan but old enough to be the mother of EXO members. It was this group that introduced me to this musical genre through their vocal virtuosity, their choreographies and above all their musical diversity. I believe this album demonstrates their maturity even at such a young age. EXO remains my favorite band and I regret the lack of investment from SM to make it the k-pop group in the world. Thanks.

[@horanghaenation]

How can I like this 1billion times?

[@Sam-yk4zq]

Groove is my absolute favorite song on this album. Sooo good.

I remember when he said he never listened to a shinee album... he's missing some gems. Specially 1 of 1 album, story of light and misconceptions of us.

omg 1 of 1 is a must, I hope pd will get to it eventually there’s probably so many listening parties lined up though ....

[@alexvryzakis]

Light and velvety rapping in Groove was indeed Chanyeol! His barritone is perfect for the smooth sexy tones in that song 😍

[@angelinepunzalan2134]

Every album that is coming from EXO really shows about how versatile their musicality is They keep improving and never stays in one genre.

Same. It was like listening to everything for the first time. Ahh 😌

[@ayushijain5582]

Obsession is by far the best EXO album. They've put everything into it. All their experience and growth as an artist is showing in this masterpiece. Even the music gives the vibe of both classic and contemporary. I can seriously go on and on about it and it won't be enough.

[@lindango6678]

I think we all made the same face when we heard the chorus of Jekyll the first time lol *SUCH* a damn good song. I recommend you watch their performance of it from Exploration Dot. Sexyyyyyy. And Groove is a masterpiece- vocally, instrumentally, everything.

When i first listened to Groove my first thought was Victoria Secret Runway. And the song i compared it to was Chunky from Bruno Mars. I then visualized them performing this song on a Victoria Secret Runway where most kfans (probably) would very much disapprove of them performing there. And i’m just in my thoughts Vibing™️, thinking about how much they could prosper in this environment 😌

Glad you enjoyed. Trouble's chorus is so satisfying, I like Chanyeol's singing there a lot. I didn't like the chants in jekyll at first but it actually makes sense it's like a dialogue btw exo and x-exo. Sehun and Chanyeol's rap and singing in groove bridge is my addiction
