Thank you
Thank you!!!
Hello reacttotheK, wondering if you can check out Nam Woohyun's New song. The title song "Between Calm and Passion" if this suitable for you guys to give reaction. I appreciate if you can react to the song. Here is the link to the MV : ruclips.net/video/Bn__3gkWBto/видео.html ! Thank you so much, Umu and teams! 🙇♀️
Where's your another friends reaction?
Thank you I can't wait. Thank you for reacting to my new GG fave (Aespa) I really love your reaction.
there is nothing better than watching actual musically inclined and educated people react to good kpop
True. That's why I love this channel so much. Their reaction have some substance in it and not just the random "oh they look cool, pretty blah blah" .
And they are ReVeluvs. It proves that Red Velvet fandom really is musically inclined individuals.
@@jiedragonhub Ah yes, this holier-than-thou attitude again coming from reveluvs. Sean is more of a loyal meu and wendyluv. Umu was a dedicated moo until about 2018/19.
@@a.l.dvorak1841 i mean you gotta admit red velvet has worked with some of the most amazing producers kpop has ever seen
@@YokaiDoctor It doesn't exclussively apply to RV only, buddy. They work with most if not all SM acts too and even beyond SM.
Lucid Dream feels like you're going home from the airport at night, riding a taxi, looking at buildings with a lot of lights...
or maybe like an after party...
I honestly think this is THE BEST album we’ve got this year so far. It proves the ability aespa and SM hold. SM never disappoints me with their music quality.
Ikr...SM always have a pride in their music quality
@@jasmine_soo8839 but too bad people hate them a lot. :(
SM artists and the company deserves recognition aroun the world. SM is the future and revolution.
Yes, they are always nominated in every Album of the year award also Song of the Year 'Next Level' this girls hits so different.
@@cocolemon8942 well if only SM will start improving their management and stop wasting their idols potential
Not only in 2021, this is the best album I've seen in music as a whole. aespa cemented themselves of pushing the boundaries the kpop has to offer. They play with unconventional soundscapes in experimentation and metallic hyperpop textures. I can clearly understand what aespa cemented themselves in musical identity. This hyperpop mini shows how versatile this genre is and this whole album is reminiscent to Thatkid, Sophie and Charli XCX.
I'll Make You Cry is honestly SO good
it's musically tight, well composed, just about the right length too
YESSS
My favourite track until I heard Lucid dream !
I really love that song
fr I'm obsessed
"Every single song is extremely solid in my opinion ..." Indeedddd. I'm just a listener and I feel like this album is a great job and when I was listening to your opinions ... it's like- yes! They did well, Aespa did well, the producers did well, SM did well!
Exactly...
It took me some listens for some of the B-sides here, but now I'm just too addicted to the album 👍
about aenergy, the girls themselves asked producer Yoon youngjin for an introductory song similar to SNSD's beautiful girls & SHINee's The SHINee World!
Coool! :D
Omg yes ! I just commented this thing without reading that someone already explained it 😂
Ohh that’s cool!
It also reminds me of Brave Honest Beautiful by Fifth Harmony, they do introductions similarly
woahh
This reaction was incredible but Sean’s outfit ? Next level
🙌🙌
Because he came from flat😆
@@koizoraraira5847 he was *touched* by sm culture universe ✨
he is so beautiful 🥹
Seeing you guys so happy when listening to this album ... it makes me much happier than when I listened it alone.
Lets jam out to it together!!! ❤️
@@ReacttotheK SURE! 💕
Me too!! 🥰
Agree agree agree!
@@ReacttotheK y
The way I'll Make You Cry and Yeppi Yeppi are title material...SM was not playing in these 10 months, composers went all out. Trully a solid mini album, and the girl's did so well too.
True.only high quality songs for this expensive 4th gen representative and global monster rookie group. Facts.
ok? no need to bring other people down..
@@dbpx12 what are you talking about??? She didn't even mention anyone else
@@puricherry4798 She was probably thinking it though
@@dbpx12 lmao even if they did it's okay cause we're all allowed to think. The important thing is they didn't mention anyone. :) Have a nice day.
yeppi yeppi is so good and the lyrics is sooo good. the 'confidence and fun' of this song is so good.
My fav from the album...love the lyrics
New York Times just included aespa's Savage album as one of the best albums of 2021, a well-deserved recognition.
Aespa's first mini album really solidified their title as Monster Rookies. They killed it with this album, it's been on repeat since it was released. I dare say every song was a masterpiece.
I absolutely looove all the songs but one of my favorites are Iconic, Yeppi Yeppi, and Lucid Dream! Thank you for this reaction once again 💖
where are my iconic enthusiasts at?? i really love iconic especially the pre-chorus parts of winter and ningning. it’s so catchy I couldn’t get it out of my head
Yeeees
YESSSSS
Ikr! Plus, it reminds me of f(x)'s sound that made me love it! Everything in the album is amazing and they really did great!
The song is simply just I-C-O-N-I-C…
Im right here!
I’ll make you cry’s bridge is just sooooo amazing with winter’s highnote 😭✨✨
FACT😭
Imagine debuting album with this level of perfection ✨ I did not intend to stan aespa this hard when Black Mamba was released, but Next Level - Savage - mini album - who am I kidding, they did not come here to play 🔥
stan æspa for better life y'll
yoo young jin's daughters.
i remember how yyj co-compose the boys-snsd, and that was a big BOP.
Yup, I stan then after listening
Their 1st album...and that was so good
THE. BEST. ALBUM. RELEASED. THIS. YEAR. No like it's seriously so flawless I didn't expect it to be this good. æspa's hyperpop sound is bringing something new to kpop and I'm so excited for the music they will release in the future
Thank you for picking up the hyperpop influences in this piece of art. I have seen so few people who understand the sound so it makes me really happy when I see fellow fans of the genre.
@@Metyourmatch i love hyperpop now i understand why i am so obsessed with this album (also love the cyberesque visuals and imagery)
@@loverollcake I honestly believe that Sophie should have had a hand in this if she was still alive
Aespa has some of the most controlled vocals where it's not overwhelming and not to underwhelming it's just right like the high notes a pitched perfectly and the lower notes are controlled perfectly
There's a good reason why this group is reeling in many fans from previous gens of Kpop
And the others (Haters) still struggling. Me a MY already gave up and like "Come on this is the future board in"
Oh and I love how they're faithful to their lore. What I've just realized is that there's no 'boy' in their lyrics... Instead, they say, "Turn up girl!"
All songs give you a courageous, fierce, confident, and futuristic mood. They really made a statement!
Yup...
That's one of the reasons i love that song💗💗
@@angelwearsprada2990 So you're from the future? Did Naevis come back to life??
@@angelwearsprada2990 exo have a bunch of avant-garde and experimental songs too.
did you guys noticed the shinee reference on yeppi yeppi? when ningning sings "everybody" in the same way they sing
Oh dang I've listened to the song many times by now, and never though about that, but I hear it now. Good catch!
this is honestly one fo the bestest mini albuns out there
i had (and still have) so much fun listening to the songs over and over again. Aespa really released a top notch album
For me, it's the best album of 2021. It's not something that no one never made before, but it's just so well done and good (for example, this mini album feels like what Charli by Charli XCX were to me, changing my conception of what American pop can do)
aespa mamaes de mais ne gatinho chorando?
nossa sim amg
rainhas de tudooo
(e meu deus um br por aqui KAJDJASJ)
@@gatinhochorando7673 kkkkkkk sim! respondi por que vi seu nome e nunca tinha visto nenhum br aqui
Yes! I was feeling the same with the Charli XCX comparison! This is like the first successful delve into hyperpop in kpop (minus like two itzy tracks), and it works perfect for the futuristic outlandish direction SM is taking aespa's concept/storyline
ayyy Charli XCX is my everything. And I just dove into æspa and I totally see / hear what you mean now
“I’ll make you cry” literally f(x) material song 😭 it reminds me of them… miss my girls so much
So truuue. It could go well together with Pink tape album tracks (beside Pretty Girl, Toy, or Kick) or even Red Light album (in between Spit it Out and Boom Bang Boom)
@@aaronclariz6452 YESSS !! 😭
For real. SM wasted my gurls 😭😭
@@dagitabliwanag9057 IKR! Their concept, songs and style was unique. If they were treated and promoted them better they would more bigger
Even it is small chance ..I wish for their comeback
Yessw... So agree with you 😭
Winter’s killing vocal during the bridge in I’ll Make You Cry… makes ME cry for sure.
me too
I’ll Make You Cry is perhaps one of the most hypnotizing and amazing side track ive ever heard in a kpop album. That song is worthy to be the title track. From the first till the last second it’s a full experience! ITS SO GOOD.
2010s best Kpop album - f(x)
2020s best Kpop album - I pray it will be aespa and they can do it.
Thank you mentioning f(x). NO one mention f(x) now in their YT channels.
This is a reaction I've been eagerly anticipating ever since I gave the album a full listen on release! This EP is smart all the way through, a masterful way of bringing the old K-Pop trends back while transforming them into something uniquely modern and fresh. Easily one of my favorites from this year, only rivaled by Purple Kiss' "Hide & Seek" EP ❤️
2:19 - aenergy
6:19 - I'll Make You Cry
13:41 - YEPPI YEPPI

There's no Savage?
@@eunicebluu that’s in a separate reaction video, this is for the mini album tracks
@@riko3072 I cannot find that video, where did you see it ?
@@ayeon5609 Not sure, all I know is that this specific reaction video is only for the mini album tracks
@@ayeon5609 they’re just upload a savage reaction ^^ pls check out
aenergy reminded me so much of Shinee's The Shinee World because of how the members were each presented. I even said, "this is gonna be the next dibidibidis song" 😅
They said it in MMTG channel, that they personally ask Yoo Young Jin to make them song like GG "beautiful girls" and Shinee introduction song..
@@jasmine_soo8839 ohhh that's why it has the same feel
The best part about this album is all member shine equally, they had their most singing part on each songs, i can say that aespa is girlgroup with all great singer member
If this mini album is an indicator, then aespa will be the kpop group that will successfully merge kpop with hyperpop! And, its like a match made in heaven considering their concept & storyline is so outlandish and futuristic, but their vocals are reminiscent of SM's 1st gen girl group S.E.S.
And Boa style as well. I listen to few of Boa's songs and when I listen to Aespa's songs I always remember Boa.
Well...
hyperpop is something i can’t enjoy while listening but they changed that…they made a nice job with old kpop sounds i felt like i was in 2010 because of this album
Personally this is my favorite mini album and aespa is the perfect gg. They are all very strong and well-rounded. They can fit any genre really well and their vocals/harmonization/production of music as usual is A+ (its SM). But I agree, I really like how SM is finally getting it right with this gg!! Aespa has a bright future ahead.
SM group’s first mini never disappoints they always have that memorable bside
EXO Don’t Go
RV something Kinda Crazy
NCT Paradise
Aespa Lucid Dream
I can’t really remember senior groups albums in order
EXO Don't Go was in their first full album XOXO tho. EXO first mini is MAMA and Angel is that one memorable b-side. I do agree about Don't Go though. Honestly, EXO actually had so many memorable b-sides in general.
@@K0ko53 Angel my fairy song
@@K0ko53 you're right, i love exo's bsides so much i still listen to them to this day
I'd say it's moonlight from 1st mini debut album of exo. Cuz don't go is from full album
@@snowminL485 oh i’d say Angel or What is Love from the MAMA mini album, overdose was 2nd mini
Giselles voice is literally the most attractive voice I’ve ever heard- like how 😭
Main rapper who can pass also as a vocalist
🌙 Giselle 🌙
Yeah even though Giselle had a few lines those lines are ICONIC just so addictive.
Giselle has that badass tone. Karina too. But Giselle is straight up badass while Karina is a classy badass.
@@sweetpotato6529 this is such an accurate description of their tones 🙌🏽
@@sweetpotato6529 perfect 😍
So Æ (æ) is a Nordic letter, and in Danish it's pronounced like the first e in energy!
And when I googled it, a site I found say it's pronounced 'eee' 😭 english.stackexchange.com/questions/70927/how-is-%C3%A6-supposed-to-be-pronounced
I think maybe "eye" is a fine example of how to pronounce Æ. If you hold out the first e sound in "eye", you're not exactly there but close enough. Unrelated opinion to this matter, it's really weird to see the trend nowadays of using Æ and Ø as an aestethic, because my norwegian ass read it as it's written, and I'm here thinking "but wait it's not making any sense... Ooooh"
@@PopLover005 Twenty One Pilots being shortened to TØP always fucks me up😂
@@victorfugl bro same😂
In Norwegian it’s pronounced almost like the “a” in Apple in English.
Savage EP was like NCT 127'S baby sister babysat by f(x) and RV as their old rich aunt living abroad
honestly this album qualify as an album of the year contender! I dont often favor debut albums but this one is a solid AOTY
also hayley kiyoko also worked on Lucid Dream
I can say, Savage is the best album in 2021 so far. Its solid!!
Savage album is one of the Best Album in KPOP history.
You start the album with a aenergy with energetic song then at middle with Yeppi yeppi with very energetic to Lucid dreams to end the Album is a masterpiece. Also the song feels like a comeback the technique, experimentation etc... is just WOW very worth album to BUY.
Savage album reminds me NCT 127 1st mini album. They marked their sound with their 1st albums successfully. Actually aespa is NCT's sister group. They will have similar sound like NCT.
If anyone read doesn't know about SM sibling groups here a breakdown.
H.O.T. & S.E.S
TVXQ & CSJH The Grace
SUJU & SNSD
SHINee & F(x)
EXO & Red Velvet
NCT & aespa
These groups are musically similar.
p.s. I hope we'll get NCT Dream Hello Future and NCT 127 Favourite album review one day. Two solid albums.
Red Velvet is not exo sister group and they’re ere never marketed like that. In fact, Fx are the only ones who were marketed as sister group of shinee. Let girl groups have their own identity apart of men.
@@user-km6cx7gi8l why are you trying to make this into a misogyny issue. The op didn’t insinuate at all that the girl groups were lesser or copies of the boy groups simply that both groups have similar music style that are meant to compliment each other. There’s a time to be woke but this is not it
@@Metyourmatch The OP didn't meant doesn't excuse the fact that its is misogynistic every time the new gg debuts to give it a brother group. Girl Groups can have their own identities apart from bgs. Aespa outdid nct in every aspect, but still being called their little sister group? No thank you.
@@user-km6cx7gi8lyou are still reaching no where did the op insinuate that these girl groups only exist to be complimentary to the girl groups. You clearly thought that up in your head and then pinned that on them. Your not going to try and reprimand people for your own thoughts
im the biggest 127 fan ever but their first album was not good it doesn't remind me of their sound at all. so idk.
I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE INTELECTUALS ACKNOWLEDGING THE FACT THAT YEPPI YEPPI IS A CULTURAL RESET
I wonder why yeppi yeppi is a catchy song (Not just like a summer song) and now i really know the reason. I also really like the last part of yeppi yeppi 🔥 i think aespa deserve so many awards because of this album. Their 1st mini album is successful!
from a kpop fan, for a first mini album, this could potentially be the best debut mini album ever... a big statement... but musically and conceptually its the tea
It’s rare that the music , the concept , the lore , the album packaging are this amazing
@@Tryingtostoptheburnout literally !! and they avoided it becoming tacky, i feel like with this concept and style it could have looked cheap but it just doesn’t it feels so new and exclusive
I brought the digital album day one and I've been listening to it many times. There's a lot of great songs, but Lucid Dream is probably my favorite. It has that R&B & dance kind of genre, and Aespa really nailed the song. Hopefully we'll have more songs like this.
My favorite thing about this album is the differences compared to most kpop songs. Also the fact that Aenergy has the same base line thingy as Red Velvet's Peek-A-Boo and Yeppi Yeppi sounds like it was made with RV in mind
Yes when I heard it I thought they are red velvets little sisters and even got their own summer song! I was dancing while driving listening to this my daughter laughing at me!
yes!
omg yes
yeppi could be an RV bside
reminds me of power up era sound
yeppi yeppi more like reminds me of f(x) songs, but the chorus kinda red velvet.
@sehun omg agreed, i can hear Krystal when i read y'all comments saying Yeppi Yeppi sounds like f(x) XD
아 내가 앨범 처음 들었을 때랑 반응 똑같음ㅋㅌㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ aenergy에서 세계관 추리하는거 yeppi yeppi 마지막에서 둘 다 기절하는거 완전 처음 들었을 때의 나임,,, 아 너무 웃기다ㅋㅌㅋㅋㅋ
This is exactly what I did in my first listen 😂😂😂 And like you said, this album is so amazing that I can't wait to listen to their full-length album. Every song is so colorful and changes every moment, like moving through a portal(maybe p.o.s?😆)
I'll Make You Cry definitely makes me cry at how fucking amazing it is. It's top tier.
I'm sooo late to this but goddamn I loved this album. pure quality. SM is seriously at the top when it comes to sheer musicianship and variety. the sound is consistent (hyperpop, synthpop, whatever you wanna call it) but each song has their own quirks. I also love how it's not a typical set up where theres just a random ballad thrown in. I'm always a lil skeptical of kpop albums for reasons I'm sure other seasoned listeners will understand. but man this one is one I'll be returning to. wish I stanned aespa sooner the girls are so talented and their team clearly knows what they're doing!
honestly i was listening to this album and saw so many resemblances to some musical troupes used in 2nd gen kpop, especially with f(x), it’s like they took what made SM ggs great and really elevated it
This channel had been very consistent in their reaction vids and was always honest and detailed in terms of music. Not me being bias but SM music has always the greatest reactions from you guys and that shows how great SMent's music/songs are.
Where can i see their reaction on savage ?
@@hwyh5392 i think they did not react to savage yet
@@hwyh5392 they finally reacted to savage, you should check it out !!
Exactly, their reaction is so interesting to watch like the songs
Please tell me i'm not insane but I'll make you cry sounds like it could be an EXO track from like 2013 and I absolutely love it. One of the best kpop songs i've ever heard. The final "i'll make you cry" line gave me chills. Also the second part of the chorus, the call and response, feels so good to listen to. Also, it literally did make me cry. So intense.
Now i can’t unhear EXO could definitely sing it
omg yes i thought the same it gave really early EXO vibes
I TOUGHT EXACTLY THE SAME WHEN I HEARD IT!!! I actually feel I heard a different Sm group in each song
All of you guys have good taste just sayin
Yall this why im buying their album and following them fr they did sound like exo but female group and its a giving, they're also got unique rap voice just like sehun and pcy, andddd Winter vocal coach is the same as D.O das why her growl is d.o alike, omg.
Truly one of the best album released this year. A LITERAL NO SKIP
aespa wins the kpop for me, they easily became my ult group after Next Level. Need to get my hands on this album ❤️
Yey I have a long transportation time so this is perfect.
I remember when this album dropped I couldn't listen to it before bedtime and the sheer excitement of the first listening got me so filled with adrenaline that I couldn't sleep for 2 hours afterwards... ALL THE SONGS are so good
IMO Savage does end in G#, if you abide to the barely hearable sub base note, which is in G#, and Ningning’s last note ending on F#, which would fit well with the last few notes in her vocal run and resembles a vage G# minor 7th chord.
One of the best albums this year and the fact that they have this within one year of debuting is amazing!
These girls are so talented and if SM manages them properly, they can be absolutely massive!
I've been listening to I'll Make You Cry like it's a daily routine for me lol The song make me goosebumps when I first listened to it and Karina's vocal especially during the part "Your love was a lie~ so hypnotized" is so memorable to me. She's a good singer.
So that's why Giselle able to rap with the Robot on Dreams come true which the original on SES is an Alien. Giselle different CHICC confirmed.
This f(x) fan loves aespa... of course they're not f(x) but they're the closest we've gotten. Just praying they don't meet the same fate 🙏
Same here! As a longtime MeU this album literally put aespa on my radar. Their prior releases aren't my cup of tea though, so this was a great surprise for me
i was anticipating an album from aespa and they really blew away my mind each and every song is just so good! i liked lucid dream the most
2021 is SM's year without a doubt.
So many amazing albums and songs!
lucid dream and i'll make you cry legendary songs especially lucid dreams, one of the best songs i have ever heard.
As a musician this is the Kpop album that i had fun the most listening to.
I listen Yeppi-yeppi more than Savage. But the whole album is Incredibly good.
aenergy got me into thinking that I can sing
Yeppi Yeppi took me to an actual roller coaster so Umu, you’re not alone 🧚🏻♀️
No offense to any group bcs I am a huge SM stan but I suspect aespa is the most vocally completed group from SM in this 10 years.
Every SM group has the various type of vocalists and they are top-notch, but there are always some members that are considered vocally weak (and often have the least lines). Don’t get me wrong I like their voices, I’m just saying they are not VOCALISTS.
Then aespa? Wow. I’ve never seen a group that sing like them, in this early stage of the career.
i think that’s because they don’t have many members?
right. imo they're like snsd in terms of vocal, very very strong. still haven't reached taeyeon's vocal game ofc she's undefeated, but as a whole group, aespa vocal game is undoubtedly the best in their generation.
Yeah it's a little harder to judge because SM hasn't put out a lot of unambiguous live vocal (in the studio behind-the-scenes or clearly live mic performances), but between the encore stage after one Savage win and the most recent Savage stage where they were clearly making slight shifts in timing or moves between notes compared to the recording, their vocals sound extremely solid. And I am inclined to agree that they're even more so than Red Velvet were when they were this new. Yes, Red Velvet are more solid now, but they've been doing this for about 6 years longer than æspa. Once æspa have been around for several years, I think it's reasonable that they may even surpass Red Velvet in vocal skills.
@@AbhipsaDass I agree that it's because they're a smaller group. As a Sone, Aespa to me is basically TaeTiSeo+Jess. We can actually do this with every SM group and pick out 4 members and we'll have a vocally completed group. But most SM groups are usually larger with certain members being stronger in other areas like dance & rap rather than vocals.
I think it's because aespa is marketted as all-rounders. Every other group is marketted to be balanced in roles.
In one interview, Giselle explained that her weapon is controlling the light. Xenoglossy is one of her skills 😍
This is a very satisfying reaction. I love it when you guys touch the details of the song. The whole album is indeed really great with all those variety of sounds and the vocals are so insane. SM really introduced aespa's color with a bang!
Naevis is the one who made Kwangya and allowed the reality (real people) to synk with the ae or Avatars (have counterpart avatars. Synk: to be connected with the ae)... Kwangya is not really out of space like Mars, Jupiter and etc. but it's like a different universe - the virtual world that we are all in. And in the song "Savage" Naevis sacrificed herself to defeat the black mamba (see the bridge of the song) so probably in the next title track of Aespa, they'll resurrect Naevis.
This is the reaction I've been waiting for! I really love this album and this solidified my admiration for aespa. Also, Umu and I basically have the same reaction to YEPPI YEPPI. 🤣
In my opinion, ICONIC could easily fit into f(x)'s Pink Tape while Lucid Dream could be a velvet RV track. YEPPI YEPPI, on the other hand, is a fusion of f(x) and Red Velvet's tracks. Love all SM girl groups! ❤️
this was a perfect 6-piece debut mini album. my favorite one so far this year.
Aespa released their 3rd mini album. ♥️ I can’t wait to watch your reaction on that! xoxo
Lucid Dream is a masterpiece, one of the best b-sides tracks in kpop imo
Fx walk so aespa could run 🤧
I hear some SOPHIE / PC Music inspired elements in parts of this album. Some really interesting and captivating moments. The lyrics relating to the universe remind me of a musical or something, I think it's super cool.
Honestly this is the best album I've ever heard
THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT the different pronunciations of æ drive me absolutely nuts
I had that Loona feeling from Lucid Dream and I'm glad you noticed it as well
first time i heard it i thought it'd be an odd eye circle song
Aenergy make me cant wait for their concert. Anthem for Aespa.
Sameee
Came as soon as I saw the notification! Your outfits and Sean’s nails are gorgeous! ✨
Each song on this album is so good and reinvigorated my love for K-Pop. This album gives me 2nd gen vibes but still sounds so fresh and modern and is the epitome of hyperpop. aenergy is a great way to introduce the members, Savage leaves such a strong impression of the girls’ talent, I’ll Make You Cry is so hard hitting and intense, Yeppi Yeppi is super catchy and motivating, Iconic is as the title says iconic and distinct, and Lucid Dream is soft and melodic. Lucid Dream is my favorite though. It’s a nice way to end off the album since the rest of the songs are so high energy that something softer and calming was really necessary. But each song is so good. Super proud of aespa for already having cemented their signature sound. They’re like the girl version of NCT but they’re still distinct and different. This is an incredible first mini album and I’m so excited for what aespa will release next.
I'll make you cry sounds like an NCT 127 song to me. And Yeppi Yeppi is my favorite track, but I just wish they ended the song after that last chorus instead of including the post chorus. All in all, the album had my full attention from beginning to end.
aespa mini album savage literally so freaking good
THE NAILS MATCHING THE ALBUM'S COLOR WE STAN♥♥♥♥♥♥
Umu fangirling during I’l Make You Cry and Yeppi Yeppi HELL YEAH best songs on the EP periodttttttt
I'll Make You Cry is such the superior song fr! Thank you for the reaction it was really interesting to hear your thoughts about the Mini-Album!
Honestly I have to say this is probably the best album of the year. I haven’t been this amazed by a group with just a mini album in yeaaaars. I may not like all of Aespa’s title tracks, but this album just blew me away. Sure, this wasn’t the album of the year in terms of popularity, but it was the best one.
I wanna see the savage reaction sooo bad
YES YES YES but we have to wait unless Umu decided to skip turns for more recent songs 🤭
There's no savage reaction :((((
The bsides were so good that I might buy the album tbh. Make You Cry and aenergy just give me main character and villain energy.
I’ve got f(x)‘s pink tape album in this mini album. Both albums are really good!
SM is actually written as æs-æm now
i literally cried everytime the bridge of I'll make u cry starts playing
i think lucid dream's instrumentation lives up to it's title. like a weird/ dream like vibe
OMG FINALLYYYY!!!!!!
I'm living for this guys reaction 💖
Almost all the time I have the same reactions that she had when she listened to Yeppi Yeppi, and it's sad because when I get caught doing that they don't understand and sometimes even make fun of me. So... it's nice to see someone feeling the same about kpop or music in general.
it's aespa's style of a somewhat summer vibe song and people are probably expecting a red velvet type of summer song from them but keep in mind lot of people didnt like red flavor too at first and now it's one of their most successful songs
That was an amazing breakdown of how groups have their own specific HARMONY to separate themselves sonically from others.
I'd like to request a full written post on reddit for this by Sean please! and thank you!! edit:OR a youtube video (which makes more sense:) )
the drum in aenergy sounds exactly like the drum in peekaboo by rv. or at least that's what it sounds like to me.
i love this album so much because the instrumentals are so fun and the vocals are also top tier.
honestly for debut mini albums this and billlies billage of perception are the two best and the ones i revisit most often, such a good sign for the future of ggs and kpop
Both are SM Groups
Since I started being a kpop fan, this is the first album I listened to that I really love all the songs. All of the songs stood out but also they are all different from each other. It is just so good I can play the whole album and listen to it every day. All the songs are my favorite but Yeppi Yeppi and Iconic is my fav fav!! Iconic just gives me butterflies everytime 😫💖
Yeppi Yeppi is the best song on the album and my SOTY. When that chorus hits, I feel like the main character.
emma losing her mind during yeppi yeppi is SUCH a mood 😂
