I love this album, it's in my top 5 best EXO albums. About Forever and Diamond, they sound better live, so I won't be surprised if you start to like them more after checking out their performance. With the month of Christmas approaching, do you intend to react to EXO's Christmas/winter albums? I highly recommend the albums, especially the first one, which is the most Christmassy, but if you don't like Christmas songs, I recommend Universe, it's much more of a winter album than a Christmas one.
The War was definitely an experimental album, their second most after Exact. That was D.O. in What U Do doing the "you do" adlib lol, I think you'll love Forever after a couple listens, with Diamond? I still am indifferent about it lmao. But this album is def a journey, you may not get it on the first listen but give it another go and YEA.
Songs performed in concert LIVE like 'Diamond' you should see. Every track LIVE adds a different feel to the song. Even ones you dislike, you love the live version because it sounds better, due to their vocals. This is a great album and their B-sides always win. Vocal flex for real. If you ever react to the LIVE concerts these MV's deliver. The music sets are just phenomenal, you may have to blur the video. Great reaction.

I've always thought it was experimental first time I heard this album way back, Diamond I fell in love with for some reason, and Going Crazy killed me, experimental and fabulous in my ears...thank you Pat. 💙🌺
Plsssss I loved your reaction!! I was laughing so much after you finished Forever and then Diamond😂😂I actually appreciate when you're honest with your reactions, and those two take a few listens to get into, but boooooy once touch it came on, I knew you were gonna love that one. I don't think I hear many people talk about Walk On Memories, but it's one of my favorite songs of theirs too! Fun Fact! Chen wrote the lyrics to Touch It (mhmmm, he fully grown and knew what he was talking about lmao), Chanyeol wrote lyrics to Chill, and them two together with Baekhyun wrote Kokobop!
Forever live is the best!! Diamond, yes me too i had to hearing it again to in to it. There is EXO song that i have to hearing it more than once to vibe and Diamond is one of it. I want to see your reaction to Sweet Lies, its my numero uno EXO song. Thank you for the reaction
this album is one of the albums when i think about the essence of kpop, like if there was just one example of kpop music i could share with someone it would be this one. the war is probably exo's best album in my opinion and has aged very well. any kpop fan could see how it's pure exo, but any random person could listen and hear what makes them stick out musically. i hope this makes sense lol but i just love this album... forever, chill, and going crazy have been my favorites ever since i discovered exo all those years ago
I have recently marathoned your Exo playlist and as a Soondingie (Chen bias) it’s been an absolute DELIGHT watching him bewitch you starting with your Killing Voice reaction all the way til now. Congratulations on your excellent taste 🤭. Fun fact he wrote the lyrics to Touch It and Exo have a great live concert stage for it. Anyway I was wondering if you would react to Chen’s latest solo album Polaris. The title track Light of my Life has an mv and when I tell you it has some of Chen’s best vocals… well you just gotta see for yourself! You know how you like to say that Chen doesn’t sing he SAAAAAANGS? Never has that been more true than for his vocals in Light of my Life. And the album itself? Well if you haven’t heard Chen’s rock side, then you best prepare yourself. (Well… Even those of us who HAD heard his rock side were not prepared….) Chen has been coming for you in every reaction since Killing Voice and I feel confident that the deal will be sealed if you react to Polaris album 😌
The War Album had a lot experimental music, like kokobob it self, diamond, Chill and forever. The first time I heard this album I also not a fan of it, but after watch their concert, this album become one of my favorite exo album 😂
There are live performances on RU-vid for going crazy, chill, diamond, forever and touch it. They are so good. And this album was an experimental one, that’s why most of the tracks were a lot to take in
I understand why you think Forever was messy. Personally, it overwhelmed me on my first listen but it became my favorite as I continued listening to the album. Don't Mess Up My Tempo listening is exciting. That album is crazy crazy good.
My Ranking: 1. The Eve 2. Forever 3. Going Crazy 4. Touch it 5. What u do? (This is because Sehun couldn't get the part) 6. Walk on Memories 7. Kokobop 8. Chill 9. Diamond
Kokobop, Chill and Going Crazy, the Eve and Sweet lies are produced by my ultimate favourite producer MZMC and his team!! I cant wait for you to hear Exos Universe album!!! My favourite winter album of theirs!!! And again my favourite production team made my favourite songs on Universe "Been Through" and "Fall". I just love love love The War and Universe albums so so much! Tbh I love all their albums 😂❤ Exo is the greatest!!
if you encounter an Exo song that you don't like on first listen, then you should definitely check the live version of it. then you will absolutely understand what they are doing.
This is my fav EXO album.. I heard Diamond live 1st from their Golden Disc Award and made me a fan. The War showcases how the album is full instrumental and explosion of vocals... You'll appreciate this album if you watch the full concert EP 4. Thanks for the reaction.
Love to watch your album reactions to EXO, this is my second time watching this 🤭 I feel like you just get it! It’s like I’m listening to them for the first time with what you point out and the parts that you appreciate or pause at like the parts that are overwhelmingly busy or experimental. Touch It lovers we rise! Very excited for you to react to Exodus soon hopefully, I think it’s really up your alley. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit these 🤍
WOW!! Walk on Memories has been my favorite exo song for many, many years. It would always be my #1 played song on Spotify every year. I am delighted to see another fan share the same feelings for that song 😊
I love this album so very much and starting off with What U Do? Oooh, one of my absolute faves ❤️🔥 vibing and good timing 😊 I really think you’ll like Forever and Diamond better live, these songs slap harder Live.
This is still my favorite album. It tells a full narrative from beginning to end. "Forever" was not my favorite song on first listen, but now it's in my top 10. "Going Crazy" is such a trip (and I love how many sounds are in it)!
The War isn't my favorite EXO album (honestly this entire era was kind of eh for me), but it has a lot of fun songs on it, Touch It and Chill especially. I also think between Forever and Chill, it has two of Chanyeol's best rap performances with the group and it's not even really close. He absolutely DEVOURS the rap on Chill.
Really enjoyed your reaction ! Thank you❤️ Can you also react to the repackaged songs of this album like you did with the other EXO album reactions? Sweet Lies, Boomerang and Power are missing
Tq for yr insightful comments of the songs. I used to feel that way too. H/ever, the live performance of them: the vocals n choreos, blew my mind out. Hope u react to some live performances too in the future.
War is my favorite I wanted to say that but the Tempo album crossed my mind...and then Obsession and DFTF also appeared. All different flavors how do I pick?
Tbh, the War album is destined to be performed live, like you should really check out the MMA performance with kokopob and forever + the eve and I think the other one is SBS Gayo daejun (same year) AND of course they performed all the song in their concerts. Also you should really check out their winter albums, they are MAGICAL, if it's not the instruments then the vocals and the emotions will overwhelm you 😅
So I would like to preface this by saying I am not trying to convince you to like a song. But your critique of Diamond made me go back and listen to it because it is top 5 B side for me. Exo harmonizes with the rap line so I was like...there is no way the production is flat. I would suggest listening using itunes or Spotify. When I listen to it, during the chorus, for example, I can hear Kai, the layering of Kai's voice, harmonies in the back, the track and the bass line. We all know the audio on RU-vid isn't the best. Love your reactions!!!!
I love to see many people havung different taste in music. I know someone who really REALLY likes Diamond and just like you, I don't get the song the way she gets it! Haha! Btw my favorite from the album is What U Do? I love how you appreciate Chill and Touch It. I don't vibe with them when I first heard them but I learned to love both of them now ❤
I remember how during the first few times I listened to "diamond" I didn't understand this song at all, this song seemed to me very weak and generally strange, compared to the others on the album. But then suddenly this song became a musical dr*g for me. I remember going to another city, it was a few days after the release of the album, the road lasted about five hours, two hours of the way (maybe more) I listened to "diamond" in a circle, I literally could not stop 😅
You need to listen What u do in concerts, with Kyungsoo playing with "You do" line, Is my favorite thing haha. Also, maybe you can react to live concerts with The war, pleaseee
Your reaction to Walk on Memories is me. First time I heard it was actually a live performance where they’re all wearing white suits and singing on high af platforms. It is life changing please watch the live.
Wait I’m so shoook that walk on memories is your fav song!! I liked diamond and forever more than walk on memories but it’s so interesting to hear your opinion! Diamond does have a performance tho so I think it makes the song 100xxx better
