[@ying5322]

"Obsession" is the most underrate EXO album, and I don't think there will be an objection. "Jekyll" is my favourite, and it has live performances in their concerts with "Obsession" costume (not in high quality unfortunately) Chanyeol and Kais' vocal is the biggest surprise in this album. Chanyeol's soft rap in "Groove" is as sexy as hell

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

This album is truly one of my favorite Kpop albums. Of any group. It’s just really well made. It’s got a specific sound I love and not one song feels like filler. It’s not a trend. But it’s timeless good songs. Exo as always but this specific album is really unique.

[@alicesus3863]

I think DMUMT is leaning on the more Pop/mainstream side while OBSESSION is the most experimental, but they are both no skips albums (duh, it's Exo)...unless someone loves to hate for sport it's almost impossible for someone to dislike Exo, they literally have every freaking genre on their albums! I personally love DMUMT the most, but tbh there isn't a single album I didn't like! (ps: I get why day after day might sound weird at first, but after a while, it ended up being one of my favourites! give it another chance in the future!)

[@resurgingflame]

DMUMT is experimental as well. At least half of it.

[@katclymer9007]

Bro when you started talking about Kai’s vocals I was like just WAIT till you hear his Groove lines 😍

[@groseexo-l7982]

All 6 members shined incredibly.

Truly one of my fav albums 🥺💓 especially Trouble!!!

[@SirAustin]

❤️. It’s soooo good 😭

[@saywhatreacts]

Yay!!! Glad that you got around to this one!! Can’t wait to watch! 🥰❤️

[@cantabilekai5307]

Butterfly Effect is one of my fav. song in this album. EXO dedicated this song for EXO-L and the lyric is just beautiful. Anyway thank you for this reaction, can’t wait for DMUMT album reaction - it’s A BOP!!

[@groseexo-l7982]

Chan Yeol's singing voice is everything I am telling you all 🤧🤧🤧

[@thea.25]

Exactly. 😭 I love his singing voice so much.

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

I hear you when you say Kai's voice is so unique. One of Kai's names is Voice Colour King. And a lot of reactors, vocalists, performers and people with a good ear for music also name Kai's voice as the most unique and favourite! I love it the most too, I can appreciate all of their voices (Baekhyun's makes me cry at particular notes), but you can never miss Kai's and it's so obvious for what reasons they put him as second voice in particular llines. I don't know if there's any other singer with such unique timbre.

[@ChanSooBromance]

Exo winter albums are: Miracles In December, Sing For You, For Life and Universe 🥰 Can't wait for your reaction of them! When you have time, of course 😍 I know you said you don't like Christmas music but hopefully these albums will result to a change of heart ❤️

[@lovesong8102]

Baekhyun in this album is crazy. How this man sing like this??? Best vocalist thing.

[@ryanpaulpitel1601]

Kai's vocal really stand out on this album. Ofcourse we have suho, chen and baekhyun but the absence of kyungsoo and xiumin give rise to the ever outstanding vocals of kai.

[@shklljm]

My fave Exo albums are: "DMUMT", "UNIVERSE", "OBSESSION", "EXODUS" but honestly all of their albums are masterpieces lmao. Btw if you wanna react to their winter albums I recommend you to start with "Universe". It's just so good and it doesn't sound like other regular winter/christmas albums at all lol I feel like you'd like it! And if you wanna react to DMUMT, there's a repackaged ver of it that you can check out if you want to. Anyways! It's nice to have you back again. Thank you for the reaction 🤍

[@groseexo-l7982]

Sir I know, EXO's vocals are so satisfying to listen to, I am feeling the same I am a student it take me awhile to have a chance and listen to music and damn when I play EXO's songs I feel so satisfying. Those hight notes and law notes just everything

[@groseexo-l7982]

How come I forgot the best part🤧 their harmonies as well

[@liveriah]

20:37 That was surely Chanyeol. Their lows are different.

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

There's a fancam of Kai during Jekyll live performance, by Mr.Destiny (best Kai's fancams), I don't know if there's another video of Jekyll live. Jekyll for a long time was my favourite in the whole world, then Groove, then Baby you are, then... Aaaah! All of their songs are the best period.

[@kunterborn1]

"Trouble" is my favorite song on this album, and the first time I listened with headphones, I got so into it that I slipped on black ice and busted open my knee at "Good feels bad, bad feels good," lol. Obsession is in my top 3 EXO albums, but my personal favorite is The War: The Power of Music repackage.

[@mariefemadrid3036]

[@khaleelnelson8424]

Just a heads up, if you’re planning on doing the tempo album and love shot b sides, the channel “Oohmaya” is the most accurate. They are probably the most accurate and show who’s doing all the adlibs, harmonies, and high notes

[@TheMayan99]

Yes it’s Cesar Ohs’ lyric video channel ❤️

[@Clumsy_Hearted]

I feel like a teenager sitting in my room listening to my favorite album with my best friend. 💗

Everyone dreaming about reaching the perfect production of OBSESSION album !

[@TY_Track]

Literally this album is one of the best albums EVER. There are NO skips. Even the title track is amazing, normally I find that some b sides are better than the title track, but the b sides in this album compliment the tt so much. A masterpiece indeed ✨

[@anisarirah8048]

their winter album especially UNIVERSE aahhhhh it just *chefkiss literally all of the bside are bop! 'Lights out' that chen's write make that album more special to me 😭 the calmest album indeed! And 'Fall' aahhh isso gewddd, cant wait for your reaction sir!! 🥰

[@exos1bnetworth]

ahh it's been a minute! Obsession has definitely been an experimental album for sure one that I had to listen to a couple of times but I can confirm is a non skip album~ Jekyll does have a live performance you should def watch it!! I will never get over Kai's vocals and I'm glad you always mention how much you like his voice don't know why you get hate for saying so when it's true the beauty of his vocal tone is so unique and colorful I can't help but be in awe everytime I hear his voice on the tracks. My faves on this album are groove, jekyll, yayaya and day after day (I do love this song very much but I can see where you come from when you mean it seems a bit out of place) overall the exos never disappoint when it comes to bringing amazing music 🖤

[@theclichedgoodgirl5455]

20:10, it's definitely Chanyeol, and in 21:12 That's Suho, I'm 1000% sure. Most lyrics video on KZbin got Groove wrong. Sir Austin, Oohmaya channel (Cesar Oh's second channel) has the most perfect lyrics video, it shows all the lyrics in meaningful way and all the members are correctly matched to their lines, including high notes, harmonizations, ad-libs

[@natalee_a7]

7:35 Omg I saw an edit like that but it was the other way around. I think it was Mmmh in a higher pitch and it sounded just like Haechan, I was so shocked

[@nargesmsv9999]

I’ll be honest I LOVE EXO’s DISCOGRAPHY l mean every song, their album production is insane even if there’s song which is not that GREAT for me they’ll make it THAT GOOD with their vocals 😩💕 If i have to choose one from this album is butterfly effect for sure Thank you for the reaction ❤️

[@natalee_a7]

9:54 yeeeees. It’s definitely about that, even in the song you have like the screaming bit and then exo almost replies to themselves. I’m not very good with theories but I read somewhere that it was connected to the whole exo xexo thing. The song is like a conversation between their dark and good side. Omg I’ve commented like four times already, I’m so sorry hehe 😭😂

Let's wait when Suho, Chen, Baekhyun and/or D.O. release a rap album. Since we all know that EXO's rapline can sing. Maybe it's time to hear the vocal line rap (more)too?🤧

[@prescillasabalbarino4601]

Lol Baekhyun and Chen, besides Xiumin already do the rap in CBX album, live performance, for example Baekhyun in Horololo, go watch it, lol!

[@mcrygbrllmsngy]

@@prescillasabalbarino4601 I know all of that! I've watched it. 😆 Because I know that EXO can literally do anything. It's just that sometimes as an EXO-L, I tend to imagine things that are waay bigger than what was given. And one of them is to hope that the vocal lines would release a rap album. It's gonna be funny (and lit) to see the vocal line rap and the rap line sing though (in an album where they exchange positions😆). It'll gonna be something beyond any others decision and expectation 😆. I didn't say the members above didn't rap. I even saw them rap (as a game) during EXO's showtime. And even on others side tracks. It's just different to see/hear them only rap in an album🤧 though it may not really happen. I'm just saying. I still love them more when they sing since it's their in-born talent.🤗

[@preziousparkx9292]

My favorite b-side in this album is Baby You Are and Butterfly Effect. IDK why but I got chills everytime I listen to those 2, just like when I listen to Runaway. AND Sir Austin, you look blooming today

[@fanchenworld]

I get into fandom last year and obsession was the full album I first listened to because atthat time this was the latest album Chen was my favorite since before I got more attracted to him specially his low note parts ,his emotional delivery ,ofcourse highnotes too. And other one who got my attention most was Suho.Sometimes their voice sound so similar well now I can differenciate . Chanyeol's rap are crazily attractive too.

[@yaneluizchelsea]

so happy to see this today!!! i thought you forget EXO and i'm a bit sad so thank you for reacting again to EXO ;)

[@lxo2670]

Love your hair ! didn't notice that earlier but yeah thank you again Sir Austin for giving us EXO content. For me "Obsession" is their best album for the reason that it doesn't sound like k-pop to me and I think it has everything I look for an album. Before I was torn between Obsession and DMUMT so I think these two are the best including The War but my personal top 3 favorites are 1st Obsession 2. DMUMT and 3. XOXO but seriously there's no album that I didn't like. As for winter albums, I think Universe tops all hehe. Lastly, I want to thank you again, your reaction video is what I like the most, it's honest, you vibe with the song and you have so much inputs - you pointed out things I didn't even noticed in the songs.

[@feedingsfrenzy]

1st: I thought it was your back in the intro xD always love the hair. 2nd: the only thing that makes Obsession not my top 1 album, subjectively, is because some of the members are not there...but...OBJECTIVELY, as someone studying music too, OBSESSION IS THE QUEEN. The music production! Very expensive. The vocals. not a question. DMUMT, The War, Universe (Winter album one with Kyungsoo forehead pc) are top albums. 3rd: The sample in YaYaYa is from a 90's RnB trio SWV 👌(thanks to Pia and Mercedes) 4th: This album encompasses genres from dif era from 70's to present if you noticed you said it feels like a throwback. 5th: I was one of those who suggested to watch Jekyll live even i dont know if there's a clear video coz o only saw a fancam and it's CRAZY. It's also my favorite bcoz of the concept Y.Y the contrast in the chorus Y.Yi cri Lastly, your feelings for Day after Day is understandable. And i know, you probably love it by now...specially if you put all your songs in shuffle 😂 i love Day after Day bcoz it's my type of genre,the blues chords harmony and jazzy progression.
