Umu: It's only 3 of them Peyton: HEY MAMA ONE TWO THREEEEE
Kevin: Good, filter! Naoki: I'm liking the set!. Gwen:: This is your captain speaking
Kevin: Wow, that is how you place the bass Yunyi: even more bass than the guitar, yeah
The duo: (jammin' out)
Jarod: Now this is pretty bluesy-ish, blues-esque, blues inspired I love that
Lindsey: the harmonies again!
Jarod: ooh that falsetto! that false-do! woah Peyton:(singin along)
Fiona: *sings* whatcha think about that
The Duo: (dance fest) Hugo: Oh God I'm such a bad dancer compared to them
Gwen: They're not dancing oh now they're dancing

Naoki: Oh nice Shimon: (agrees)
Kevin: It's so good
Hugo: yeah Gwen: woahhh
Hugo: Smacks me the face (sound effect)
Davis: Aw this is lit though
Kevin: on the I to IV Chord Progression
Kevin: It's such a typical retro thing, it's definitely better than the last song Yunyi: I like it though I really like the chorus
Jarod: They got like this mission music in the background gonna go save the world gonna gonna go save the world
Henry: are they hijacking the news!?!??
emiel: I think they are
Fiona: Fighting the power!!! their fighting Censorship
Naoki: oh nice
Emiel: Good rap
Jarod: This is like a sophisticated rap, ya know like, very calculated rhythm very straight 16ths
Henry: bruhhhhh Fiona: disco ball, mmm funky
Henry: This is good, this is funky as shit
Naoki: Yeah I'm liking the contrast between the sections and the timbre of his voice is pretty nice
Shimon: you can say that about the set as well. there's so many different sets.
Emiel: Yeah this is good group Henry: Yeah for real Fiona: OHHHH
Fiona: That guy was ridiculous..that's so extra
Yunyi: it's always EXO and these very intent
Yunyi: stares
Yunyi: at the camera kevin: *agrees*
Jarod: One thing that's really good about exo that I really notice is that all their songs you can are like really
Jarod: Kind of dance-oriented both visually and what I'm feeling like I just want to dance and that's what I feel get from their music
Jarod: It's not like something to put on and like listen to but it's something that I would get up and move to
Fiona: YEAH YEAH YEAH
Fiona: Okay that guitar is FUNKY as FRICK Henry: did everyone of them just dab?!?! Emiel: i thought i swear everyone just dabbed!!!
Kevin: Cowbell Yunyi: cowbellll... cow bell man!!!
Davis: this is turning me up right now.
Yunyi: I feel high note coming on.
Naoki: Ohhhhhh
Naoki: Nice nice nice nice nice nice
davis: nice
Shimon: he has a really high voice Naoki: yeah shi: holy cow
Kevin: but it's a good drop Yunyi: that was good that was really satisfying
Lindsey: *sings* wow x2
Lindsey: I like the... *demonstrates*
Davis: They have some pretty impressive voices
Lindsey: Yeah, definitely
Emiel: these guys are really insane Henry: yeah
Henry: they are- I also feel like this song is going on a little bit too long
Naoki: Oh That's cool
Emiel: and about 2 minutes and 45 seconds of material
Kevin: whoa
Shimon: Mmm I like that ending! Naoki: yeah!
Jarod: Oh, I like how they start with the guitar and then they finish with the guitar a little fallout Peyton: sound effect
Peyton: Yeah, overall it was a good tune.
Yunyi: I love that guitar. where the pitch bends a little bit? it's just so nice
Naoki: even though that wasn't like a proper ending to me it still worked pretty well I think
Umu: You know it didn't resolve Naoki: no yeah, but it still felt
Naoki: Appropriate and I thought the contrast between like the spoken rap and then the high singing that was pretty effective Umu: all right
Shimon: I really started to notice how
Shimon: Good Korean Rap sounds compared to like Japanese rap Naoki: he's only saying that now because Ben isn't here to say it otherwise
Shimon: No, but Japanese rap. I heard it like the other day like oh Naoki: it's not as succulent
Naoki: Maybe succulent is the right word Shimon: succelent...
Naoki: Yes Umu: all right, okay?
Umu: Right so after your comment on the social commentary I looked at the lyrics Davis and like the first half is just saying like yo
Umu: Girl, let's just get together at night
Umu: You don't have to like change your going to look hot no matter what you wear, let's just go have fun
Lindsey: I wish I had a man that would say that to me Umu: and then later on it says
Umu: Everybody put your hands up now 1-2-3 change your daily life
Umu: Every day is a party day change the whole world until everything falls down all night everyone standing up everybody stand up now
Umu: Let's make a night just you and I hey mama lets have a special night because we're together so like I don't know whether there's social commentary or not
Davis: but tear the world down...
Davis: What that okay?
Davis: I see you CBX. That's good. Good stuff. Yeah
Henry: like like with all songs that could use Fiona: more bridge
Emiel: Yeah, rap was pretty good Henry: or more rap! honestly that wasn't that much rapping. Yeah, it was really good really good
Umu: It's the first time I've ever heard you say more rap
Henry: Well I mean you know just like to break up anything I don't disliked rap.
Umu: So what'd you like about this one?
Kevin: [air guitar]
Umu: Okay [heh] Yunyi: like it wasn't it wasn't too spicy in the sense of like kinda like for example, red light
Yunyi: in which is just you know just
Umu: That was everywhere Yunyi: like shock factor everywhere like this is like
Yunyi: you kind of knew what was coming, but everything was delivered really well really really well, so it was clean exectution you know
Yunyi: It's really funny Kevin: this is how I feel after your comment
Yunyi: You know I was thinking about how we sit here
Yunyi: And we analyze pop music like we do with classical pieces because like pop music isn't like meant to just be like
Yunyi: Focused on necessarily. whereas classical music is so
Yunyi: It's not necessarily like you know Kevin: that's cause most people think the opposite. they think Pop music is the stuff that they focus on; classical music is studying
Kevin: music so Yunyi: yeah
Yunyi: For all y'all who think that, do yourselves a favor and go listen to some
Yunyi: some Ravel
Umu: So we can move on to the next one which is
Umu: Actually, this is still a subunit and this is a non-title track song meaning it didn't originally come with a music video
Umu: this is only two minutes long
Kevin: Oh, what a short song
Umu: Yeah this isn't the full song so basically they cut out a few things and they put a music video to it Kevin: that's pretty cool
Umu: it's still worth your reacting you ready?? KEvin: all right!!!!

gwen: i can do that move!
fiona: I'm so glad i'm watching this right now xD henry: wow emiel: yeah

Hugo: I love how the dancers in the background are just literally standing there
SHimon: Is that what it sounds like when they're filming?!?! Naoki: That is hilarious shimon: that's so awkward
naoki: Yeah
Naoki: they were rocking it though shimon: yeah good for them!
Lindsey: that was fun!
Lindsey: I liked it. I liked there were just so many different styles, and it was only a sample of the song like that's crazy
Umu: there's even more! I think one of the verses they cut out is also totally different
Davis: they packed all that into like three minutes of stuff
Lindsey: Yeah
Davis: and they like still were like that's
Davis: That is a good indication of what the entire song sounds like so I'm going to go ahead and assume, that it's really really good
UMu: So what do you think of this one musically Jarod: it was cool
Jarod: I like to I my favorite part was when the one guy was like *pretends to rap in korean* like
Umu: hemiola? Jarod: yeah, it was like 2,3,4 [continues]
Jarod: There we go Umu: nice imitation
Shimon: It was really different Naoki: Yeah, it was nice and short and was interesting like it's good to have variety
