aespa's Armageddon is probably the best K-Pop album released this year so far (well, I have emotional attachement to Everglow, so behind ZOMBIE for me, of course :D ): SUPERNOVA, ARMAGEDDON, Live My Life in one discography? WHAT THE HELL, SO DOPE! Thank you for you reaction, Anthony. I hope, you will poste your LA DI DA and ZOMBIE reactions, I very enjoyed these reacts. :)
@@blueCatSu Of course it had been released so many good albums this year; SEVENTEEN: BEST ALBUM, NMIXX: FE304 BREAK, TEN's and Chungha's solo albums, NAEYEON, wooah,...-and like you mentioned ARTMS and plenty more great discog. But overall, aespa's full album is really highlight for me. Such a piece of great art.
I rarely comment on videos. However, I had to run here to commend you on your insights between Korean vs Western music. You are BANG ON! I am truly jaded by the Western industry and only leaning towards Korean music. The variety and the structure are incredibly engaging! Every point you made I was furiously nodding my head in agreement lol. Keep up the incredible reactions, Anthony! Really appreciate the time and energy you put into these 🙏🏼
You're 100% right on the "AI = Armageddon" theme. There's a poster in one of the sets that says almost exactly that "Incoming danger. Armageddon or manipulation?" Your insights are always spot on.
About the story of song you asked; aespa has a very developed storyline about virtual realities, different world's dimensions (KWANGYA) - B. Mamba and clones. I'm not 100% sure, but a new storyline started since ending of song "Girls". Drama, SUPERNOVA and Armageddon is about these clones. aespa members broke a border between worlds, they met their evil clones (Drama/SUPERNOVA) from other spheres and in ARMAGEDDON they even don't know, if they're real. It's very shortened by me and maybe some parts don't fit accurately (so someone could correct me, or add better details).
@@itsyaboichilde5397 Aespa defeated Black Mamba in "Girls". There is a new storyline since "Drama" - about evil clones and other reality. Clones are their enemies.
02:50 Kpop usually just use structure in their songs the verses pre choruses and chorus usually are different the bridge often is an advanced replica of the pre chorus
Omg thank you so much. I had been waiting for this after watching your Girls MV reaction. You may like their Supernova MV too. It's trending more than Armageddon but I still love this one more.
100% agree with you about Kpop vs western music, it seriously blows my mind. You should also check their pre release supernova and zombie by everglow next
By the way, I totally agree with you about difference between K-Pop/J-Pop,P-Pop music and western. You know I'm from Europe, so this is not cloudy view from me - that quality gasp between eastern asia music industry and US is huge. In every aspect; music, productions, choreography, mixing of genres, musicality, etc. Just HUGE.
You are not wrong. I'm 51 and haven't listened to music for over 10 years because the music here really sucks (I'm talking about pop/hip-hop/rap). Then I came across XG. I'm now a "stan" and checking out other Asian music, though the language barrier can make it difficult (which is why I love XG).
aespa always surprises me with their songs, they hit me in a different way and are addictive. All the b-sides in the Armageddon album are nice but my favourite would be Mine, Live My Life & Prologue. I feel like you would like Mine & Set The Tone the most aside from the double title tracks (Supernova & Armageddon).
Have seen a litte bit of their current tour videos that have been posted online - its epic. their dancing is on point (and mirrors the music video choreography) - for over 2 and a half hours LIVE. They are quality, thats for sure.
This album has a song (Supernova) which is making me doubt my all time fave song from them, which is "Drama"! I still like Drama more, that song is literally peak, but Supernova is SOOOOOOO catchy and good.
@AnthonyRayKPOP FYI: Both of the following title tracks were produced a couple years ago (as with most SM production camps) so the overall track selection for the aespa release schedule was really a thought process that weighed heavily on their tour schedule.

It's so interesting how Armageddon the song was poorly reviewed by many critics. I didn't like it the first listen but I really find it complex, beautiful, maximalist, and the video itself is insanely gorgeous. They went 300% on creativity.
So true, when I started listening to kpop 4years ago, i realized how much the western mainstream is lacking (for me), and slowly my playlist got more and more krnb, khiphop, kpop (dont get me started on all the old school samples from the US that I found out thru kpop as well)
G idle not a innovative group though, their music is too western style, if u say about the meaning of lyric, i agree, but on music, most of their comeback is not sound like kpop, but aespa always keep their music uniqe, they are them most innovative group out there
after a months still gave me goosebumps when i hear this bop its so amazing thank u so much for reacting thissssssss aespa never make u dissaponit with their bop hitt songs whats about react for SUPERNOVE next or please next time smoothie by nctdream😫
Please @anthonyray reaction to karina from aespa new solo songs is UP it's the song track for aespa concert in korea.. her performance solo.. please reaction to Karina okey 😭🙏
My Theory is that in Apocalypse there is 4 Horsemen so Aespa is like we will create our 4 Mythical Women to fight for the Evil in Armageddon. In Which Apocalyse and Armageddon is very similar.
We know you usually don't do a reaction video for the first 24 hours, so hopefully we'll see you reacting to Lisa's Rockstar song tomorrow. We missed seeing you react to Lisa. 🙏⭐

You forgot ARTMS' Dall

It is truly the MV of the year. The creative team are just beyond. I still get goosebumps watching and listening to Armageddon to this day.

I thought the clones were on their sides? Isn't the villain Black Mamba?

This is their best track & performance EVER
Salty & Sweet and Illusion don't have music videos but performance videos 🔥
02:50 Kpop usually just use structure in their songs the verses pre choruses and chorus usually are different the bridge often is an advanced replica of the pre chorus
Without looking at the lyrics, their outro chorus sounds like "I'mma Get it Done" Arma-ged-don
Omg thank you so much. I had been waiting for this after watching your Girls MV reaction.

signed ... I almost completely stopped listening to US rap, even though those are my music roots.

This is why I love your reaction. Great deduction brotha! N taste in music as well.

Maaaan I haven't heard anyone count like that since I was in high school counting out the measures. Good shit AR.
I would like to suggest SUPERNOVA OF AESPA TOO, this is AMAZING🔮
Awesome insights bro ! I literally can't get this song out of my head and it's already been a month :D
You should totally react to Supernova by Aespa 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kpop MV of the year
Have seen a litte bit of their current tour videos that have been posted online - its epic. their dancing is on point (and mirrors the music video choreography) - for over 2 and a half hours LIVE. They are quality, thats for sure.
The MV 💯💯
The track 💯💯
"Constant dopamine hits" got it in one. The supernormal stimuli is crazy with Kpop.
This album has a song (Supernova) which is making me doubt my all time fave song from them, which is "Drama"! I still like Drama more, that song is literally peak, but Supernova is SOOOOOOO catchy and good.
Definitely their best song
Top-notch track !! Top-notch MV !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
AESPA finally ❤❤❤
What a song !! 🔥🔥🔥
Aespa's Supernova is good as well! Actually, Supernova is hitting more than Armageddon.
you should react to all songs from the album, the songs are dope🔥
Nice to see you have SADE on your playlists! 🔥👏
Talking about country, I believed MCND are adding elements of country into their latest songs of you wanna check them out. Odd-venture and X10

lmao i like the way your expression keep changes seeing every scene 😭
I totally agree with ur reaction
this is art
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️🔥
This song imo is the best kpop song released in like the last 2-3 years
It's so interesting how Armageddon the song was poorly reviewed by many critics. I didn't like it the first listen but I really find it complex, beautiful, maximalist, and the video itself is insanely gorgeous. They went 300% on creativity.
It sounds wayyyyyyyyyyy better then sings here in the US
Keen analysis, Anthony 👍
This song is the best and innovative song in 2024
So true, when I started listening to kpop 4years ago, i realized how much the western mainstream is lacking (for me), and slowly my playlist got more and more krnb, khiphop, kpop (dont get me started on all the old school samples from the US that I found out thru kpop as well)
In my opinion Aespa and G-Idle are the most innovative groups in kpop, and that's why they are at or near the top of the heap!
G idle not a innovative group though, their music is too western style, if u say about the meaning of lyric, i agree, but on music, most of their comeback is not sound like kpop, but aespa always keep their music uniqe, they are them most innovative group out there
Dont Forget SUPERNOVA bro, it was trended for weeks because of its Weird Music video and strong catchy music
Hyoyeon - Wanna be , its freaking naystee as well crayzy
Aespaaa Queens
This is G-Funk influence. Listen to Dr. Dre’s- Dre Day song and listen to the beat.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤aespa❤❤❤❤
In case you never got the answer Armageddong was produced by No I.D
