Fun fact : Chen's "Woo" at the beginning of damage 31:07 was actually just to warm up his throat and the producer ( I guess ) liked the sound and they put it on the song 🤩
Each song represent a member (except Tempo) Sign Chanyeol Oh la la la Kai Gravity D.O With you Baekhyun 24/7Xiumin Bad Dream Sehun Damage Chen Smile on my face Lay Oasis Suho theit powers appears in the lyrics
I was searching if someone have written this ❤ yes the album was special for many reasons and this part was absolutely one of the best special things about it ❤
It's difficult to choose a favorite EXO album, but this... it's flawless. Full of emotions. Love it so much. By the way, the songs are linked to EXO superpowers (Oasis for Suho because of water, etcetera), I don't know maybe you already knew. By the way, happy you are feeling 100 percent, sir :)
If I remember correctly, when they were recording Damage, Chen was warming up his vocals and did the yelling note and the producer liked it so much that they added it to the song
Ohhhh my goshhhhh 'Wait' is on the repackage and just... the vocals.... it's like chocolate for your ears.... Tempo/Love Shot really is some of their best music
Smile on my face is Lay's song 🌈🦄 our healing unicorn. It's as great as Wait and 24/7. I have been on a Lay mood for the last 2 months and it is sad how people shrugged on Lay's effort. Only supporting him when he is with EXO but not supporting his solo works. When I watched his series Street Dance, back in the fields, idol producer, and CZR2, my respect and fondness for him grew. Sorry if I am rambling but Lay deserves the same love as all other EXO members. He is the healing unicorn for a reason. And I feel like there is always something missing when Lay is not in an EXO track. EXO's album are all great but somehow XoXo have a special place in my heart. Maybe because its the bright and youthful side of EXO. Most of the tracks also highlighted their vocal capabilities which I love the most. That is why I love all the albums they have released this year. They went back to the basic but showcasing how much they have grown through the years.
This album is A BOP! they surpassed 1M sales from the pre orders alone, the first ever sm group to do so (if I'm not mistaken) and taking the crown of Quintuple Million Sellers💜
Smile on my face is Lay song. So I guess it makes sense that he is healing us/EXO. I love Gravity and Damage live. Oasis has a special place in my heart, it has helping me go through my depression and anxiety. Personally I find Oasis, Cosmic Railway, Paper Cuts, Bird and now Runway so emotional, for me at least. They are my favorites. 😊 Enjoy your weekend. ❤
I love your videos because you actually appreciate the music and actually listens to it! Because any other channel pauses and makes 30 min jokes with 1 minute of actual reviews. Been watching for awhile think it’s time I subbed ❤️❤️
Gravity is my absolute favorite EXO song, and that's hard cause I love them all, but Gravity is just... omg i love it sososo much. Also Damage is so good, Ooh La La La is a masterpiece. I mean, EXO always gives us perfection P.S. Loved your reaction as always!
Yesssss!!! Oasis my top 2 exo song. Thank you for this ❤ i'm really enjoying you exo album reactions. For me 1. EX'ACT/Lotto 2. The War/The Power 3. Universe
The producer of Oasis and Run away is the same. That's why it sounds so unique and we love it !! Thanks for reaction ♡ also the live stages of these songs are MUST! my fav one is Damage ( thirsty sexy choreography :) )
"With you" is a really hard song yet it's really calming and EXO's vocals slayed it. The song was really underrated I'm in love also with Chanyeol and Sehun's vocals in Bad Dream.
Oasis is my fav song in this Album and because of this song I fell in love with Kai's voice so for me is: Oasis Oh la la la and 24/7 Smile on my face Signe Damage Bad dream Gravity with you
actually each song in the album was representive of each memners power smile on my face -> lay oasis -> suho gravity -> d.o. damage -> chen sign -> chanyeol oh la la la -> kai with you -> baekhyun bad dream -> sehun 24/7 -> xiumin
31:07 don’t forget that the intro of “damage” chen was just warming up his voice and getting excited but he sounded so good so the producer decided to add it in the song🤣🔥✨ (LDN confirmed this themself)
Listen to Hello Stranger, Runaway, and Oasis in a row. They sound great together. Lately I’ve been making playlist mixing Exo songs and Exo member’s solo songs that have similar vibes or work well together. It makes for really dynamic playlist and listening to a song in the context of different songs than you usually do and not in the context of the album it’s a part of can be super interesting and make you hear different things in the song that perhaps you didn’t catch before.
2:46 that's where most of his lines go i guess 😭 3:54 I'm pretty sure that's sehun if I remember correctly (and also the slight lisp) As a Sehun biased, although I feel down because he often doesnt get enough lines, I really loved this album because of how iconic his lines are, Bad Dream and Gravity (you NEED to react to the live stage for a better life quality) are the songs that imo he shines the most.
No?? He did longer lines in that song & also in the background?? Smh this is why Austin should've done the Cesar's version bcus she actually showed the harmonies, adlibs & background vocals as well there. This channel that he reacted missed a lot of that so Austin & his audiences like u might also missed their lines too. The audio excuse isn't even that bad tbh.
Why am I smiling like stupid and then get tears in my eyes during each song? How can someone be happy and sad at the same time, want to dance and to just freeze to listen?? They drive me crazy 🤪
Funny you say that “Smile on My Face” is a healing song, cause each song in the album minus the title track represents each member in the lyrics. •“Sign”’s lyrics mention fire, linking to Chanyeol •“Ooh la la la” mentions letting someone travel in your imagination, linking to Kai’s teleportation •“Gravity” mentions “weight” linking to D.O •“With You” mentions light, linking to Baekhyun •“24/7” mentions the cold, linking Xiumin •“Bad Dream” mentions storms, linking to Sehun •“Damage”’s theme and the mention of “flares” relates to Chen •”Smile on My Face”’s theme of healing relates to Lay • And “Oasis”‘s whole theme of an oasis of water links to Suho
EXO-L who loved Oasis have the same feeling when we heard Runaway. Your theory about Oasis and Runaway might be right, since both were produced by Rice N' Peas.
For me Exodus, The War, Exact, Obsession and Tempo are the best, my top 5 without count Winter Albums. It's so hard to choose when all albums are great~
Yeah, you've heard Gravity on Kai's day 1 in compilation of his best singing live. There were only 6 of them so the parts were distributed differently. But it's my most favorite Gravity live 🤷
This is soooooo goooooooood ! It made me question myself if "Obsession" is indeed my favorite album ! I got goose bumps, a looooot whenever I hear "Smile On My Face". Thank you for this Sir Austin !
gravity probably reminded you of power because it's made by the same producers LOL ldn noise actually said in their video about this song that they did do a little power reference in the instrumental
I am happy sir Austin, you got to connect Run Away and Oasis. So far they are one of my top 5 EXO songs.^^ It gives the feeling of being free and that whatever situation you in now, there is FREEDOM one day. God bless everyone.^^
Each live performances of these songs are a must to watch. All of them are fire. You will like them more after watching those lives.. Note: Oasis has the same producer as Runaway. And Love Shot album has Love Shot, Wait and Trauma. Wait is one of my favorite ballads from EXO (VOCALS+Acoustic)..
I love the two other Love Shot songs so much. Trauma is such a VIBE with a really cool rap verse, and Wait is just gorgeous. The Wait live stages are EVERYTHING too, even if it is only 6 of them ❤
the first part in damage we have chen actually it was not part of the song and that was just chen warming up his voice but they put it in the song things like this really make me proud
Tbh, the very first time I heard Runaway of EXO, I literally screamed and feel like crying. I mean, Oasis is a song that has a special place in my heart. I REALLY LOVE THAT SONG! And then they gave me another song like its version 2.0 at their Don't Fight The Feeling album (which is the Runaway), I JUST REALLY REAAALLY WANT TO EMBRACE AND KISS EXO. Like I also want to extend my deepest and sincere gratitude to whoever produced it, compose it, just to whom are part of making those songs. Both songs are my comfort songs as well that's why I REALLY LOVE BOTH OF THOSE SONGS.
this is one my favourite album i feel like.. the war is my favourite, but i think its largely because of my personal experience with it (it was my first comeback after ulting exo, its the CB that made me fall in love with my ult bias jongdae (blondae changed my life..), and i was on the road a lot that summer and every road trip, i listened to the entire album on repeat.) with you is SO underrated, it calms me down and turns my heart to mush, its a beautiful song and the lyrics are sooo sweet. my favourite track on the album is gravity, but honestly this whole noskip album is filled with amazing songs. everytime i listen to one, it becomes my new favourite temporarily
I definitely think this album is so underrated in the rating exo 's full albums discourse, even though this is easily in their top 3 best full albums. My personal ranking would be 1) EXODUS (2015) 2) DMUMT (2018) 3) The War (2017) Honorable Mention: XOXO (2013) but for this album I prefer the EXO-M versions for a lot of the songs. If you do listen to EXO's earlier albums and EPs I highly recommend also listening to the Chinese versions because EXO-M harmonies back in the day >>
Yup, Sir Austin, DMUMT is pure gold and GRAVITY IS FUEGO!!! Here's a link to the live stage of "Gravity" from the SM Town Tokyo Concert: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pcgnezlG2wM.html
Although I love all of the song on don't mess up my tempo buat my first love always ALWAYS THE WAR, I love the war album 😭😭 But.. But.. Plis universe special winter album, sir!!
Love Shot album is the repackage album of DMUMT. It includes 3 new songs Love Shot, Trauma and Wait. You may react to Trauma and Wait. Wait has a Exploration concert live version
Ugh loving your sweater Sir Austin 💚 I like Tempo album because Xiumin and Sehun has a lot lines 🤗💚 The war album also, I like that. And Universe Album 🙂💚💚💚💚
..same for me..i really like sad songs, heart break songs, ballad songs..that's why i really like..exo's ballad songs..group or solo..the Kdrama ost's sang by EXO members..esp. the paper cuts of EXO-CBX?..God!.that song made me cry so many times..listening to that song hurts..it's painful..it's sad..but i really can't explain..you feel bad but you like it at the same time?..it's wierd right?..haha..i'm really looking forward for the reaction video of paper cuts..that 1 in japan was better Sir Austin..i bet you'll also cry..
23:33 🙌 I love every song of EXO albums, like you, we all can make many many playlists of EXO for nighttime, power boosting, etc. EXO members are just amazing that they pull of all kinds of song together into EXO'. 🧡🧡🧡
Glad you heard the resemblance of Runaway and this song. Wait until you hear been through. Runaway is like the product of Oasis and been through. The melody, I mean.
