@ReacttotheK pleaseee react viviz Bop Bop
Omg pls u have to show everyone muddy water and charmer
Pleaseee react Ive Love Dive
Please react to their oddinary album b-sides! Venom, Freeze, Charmer and Lonely St are dope!
please react LOVE DIVE by IVE
can jason read 3racha's mind? he's so on point EVERY TIME. ALSO , the violin and keyboard bit was PEEERFECCCT. catches all the nuances of the sounds.
I hope Bangchan watch this sometime :-)
@@camoo4346 he 1000% will watch this. Man’s everywhere 👀
@@camoo4346 bang chan have been vocal about watching this channel’s reaction to their songs so yeah he’d probably watch it
@@cheolluvr2951 Chan’s always watching 👀😂 but yes Chan watches a lot of reactions so he for sure will watch this considering how in depth they go into the music!
@@camoo4346 i mean he alr did some sort of shout outs to them couple of yrs ago so.. yep.
Listening to this explanation, we can see that producing a song is really hard. But 3racha nailed it as always 👏 super creative 🔥
Yea....makes me wonder. Does 3racha tackle songs the way these classical musicians do? Or do they just go with their gut?
@@moodyblue_ bang chan is the one that produces the songs along with another producer and then 3 racha writes the lyrics so i guess bangchan and the other producer change ideas
STUMPING THEM IS TOO EASY = BECOME A STAY AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT ALL
congrats to 3racha. They have made something that has stumped classical music students and forced them to revisit and reanalyze the same part multiple times just to get it.
It's really interesting to see the growth of Stray Kids' production and the deep interest the entire cast of CMR has in these videos. Wonderful job.
More like versachoi and bang chan because they made the instrumental
HA HA, MANIAC
i, too, am never prepared for felix's low voice
seeing people react to his voice and being surprised by it gives me an unhealthy amount of serotonin!
I have grown used to hearing his voice now
@@brytz9231 same their reactions are so priceless
about the song not being as loud/explosive as maybe expected: I don't think Stray Kids have talked about this directly but you could also interpret it as fitting in with the album theme. As in not being ordinary and subverting expectations, most people (especially those not as familiar with the group) associate Stray Kids with "noise music" which they also played on with the title of the last album, NOEASY. It's really smart to go away from that and do something more subtle this time around
This. I don't think it's meant to be crazy. Instead of the play on ordinary meaning CRAZY I think it's like "your ordinary is that... my ordinary is this. YOU think my ordinary is weird, but that's because you are a drone and I'm an artist." Artists are kinda used to going through life knowing everyone thinks they are a little off. Once we embrace that though and just run with who we truly are some pretty amazing things happen.
And not to go off on the whole 'Korean culture is suppressive' thing but as an artist growing up in a conservative family I imagine that message is not only more poignant where they are standing but also much more important for people to hear. Often I sort of feel like my responsibility as a creative is to hold space for the 'B side' personalities of normal people. Like if you're an accountant because it's the responsible choice or because your family expected it of you and you've always wanted to know what it's like to dress a bit crazy, or go to a music festival, or paint something... but it's super outside of your comfort zone... I can create that space for you and you don't even need to tell anyone if you don't want to. Some people are legitimately afraid of their creativity. I think as artists they aren't just saying HEY LOOK HOW COOL WE ARE, WE'RE IDOLS ...I think they put a lot of effort into saying Hey, look how cool being creative is. Doesn't this look like fun? It's totally ok to have fun too sometimes.
@@LaughingInTiny Wow, what a description. Thank you 👏👏👏
Yes! I see it this way as well. If i remember correctly, Hyunjin said that they wanted to show yet another different side of stray kids, more of a "cool" side of them with this comeback.
I think it's pretty cool how they took the message of their album and title track and went in an "unusual" way, not the way people would expect them to do it, like you (op) said.
The question is. What are we gonna hear next time? 👀👀
8:03 everytime he tried to play the melody but had it wrong and just went "no-" I just died laughing KAHSKAHDKAD
I love when elements (esp melodies) of a beat are offset from the grid! Super common in hip-hop and bounce music, I noticed Stromae was doing it in his recent album as well. Also I'm so obsessed with the birds/drill thing - it's almost cartoonish as a motif but simultaneously badass. I feel like 3racha have really stepped up their game lmao
They also used some animal sounds in Miroh
@ibrahim off topic but I was wondering why your yt channel looked familiar, then I came across world at peace on your homepage. your music is fire!
Oi Bangchan, if you're lurking, here's a reminder that we see and appreciate all the work you put into these tracks. Stray Kids, 3racha and Chan's room literally gave me a deeper understanding on the behind the scenes of making music
And channels like React to the K are a gem for this industry! Sending lots of support
Lmao...I really love how you casually just assumed that Chan would be lurking around here somewhere...haha
@@faihashirin8547 I mean, he has pretty much established that he watches most reaction videos done on their comebacks, and with RTTK he
1) has met and recognized Umu
2) shouted out the anniversary medley
Meaning he’s likely subscribed :)
I think it's like that he has already read this comment 😂
I just read this in Australia accent just coz jt said oi first😂😂😂
I'm a proud stay. They produce new things without running the thing they are making. They are the true meaning of talent and creativity.
Just the fact that every single SKZ title track is interesting enough (from a musical standpoint) to be reacted to on here is very high praise 🥰 I'm so proud of them for making music that's so creative and out of the box!
And the fact that members actually work on making the music💪
Maniac is soooo addictive! I really love how even after streaming it a lot it just doesn't get boring. Not to mention that I love the lyrics.
*Lmao that transition from Umu to Ju young at **3:07** is HILARIOUS*
As someone who plays by ear (piano) and dabbles in guitar and some string instruments, and as someone who has synesthesia (auditory related) it’s so satisfying to hear the Classical K reactions that explain why these songs are so good or how they layer sounds in music to create an effect or response to the listener! Thank y’all for these because it puts words to my experience (which I can’t explain musically only in colors and sensations)
THAT CHORUS ooohooooo makes me howl at the moon; phrygian dominant used at best - they made it sound sooooo cool and not cheesy or too ethnic. FANTASTIC WORK, SK productions are always incredible. Probably my favourite release this year! Sorry I had to react to your reaction cause I love this song so much 🔥🔥🔥
RIGHT?! 🙌 haha happy to see your reaction here~
"too ethnic" ???
@@aliensuperstar1689 i think they mean not a fully ethnic song using culturally relevant instruments and stuff like that
@@aliensuperstar1689 Phrygian dominant has so much flavour and you'll immediately feel you're in some Arabic country listening to their folk music, if that makes sense, but SK blended it in with their own hip hop style so well
I just know Bang Chan will be watching this as soon as he finds the time to check his youtube notifs~
I can already tell Chan is going to LOVE watching this reaction 😄
The thing for self produced songs are more of like stanning a literal all rounder group of artists. Like if you stan the artist you alrady stan the producers, because i know everyone likes some songs because of the instrumentals that the producers produced but you don't necessarily stan tne producer.
The poppin part of Changbin, your reactions are the same with almost all reactors. Im so happy you reacted to this. Because the intrumentals are so perfect for you to react.
This is so SATISFYING cause here i am bored inside the bus going back to my hometown, and THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR AND YOUR REACTION IS SO INSIGHTFUL AND AMAZING, AS USUAL. Hopefully bang chan already watch this before his weekly vlive 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Safe trip!
Selamat mudik
a whole new maniac challenge with felix voice 😂😂😂🤭
New tiktok challenge
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work and effort goes into making and especially editing these videos? From the wonderfully insightful reactions and analyses of the reactors to Umu's research into the song beforehand and whoever does the amazing editing. Everything is such high quality. Thank you so much for bringing us such entertaining, educational and awesome content. Love you all so much 💜
🙏❤️
3racha and stray kids as a whole is very talented!
Just when you think every reactor has imparted every thought and detail on this comeback, rest assured R2TK just blow my mind with reaction and comment on the structure, the techniques used, the form of musicality and sheer detail on the composition.
I doth my cap once again....
Definitely BangChan needs to react to all this reaction!!!!
And SKZ drop a total genius album.. Every song is a classic, no filler, all thriller !!
this album made me so so proud it's a masterpiece. they're always amazing but this was so next level
13:30-14:10 is probably my favorite part of this because it feels like he's concisely highlighting one of the most distinct and satisfying characteristics (for me) of SKZ's overall approach to music. It's _not_ safe. It's _not_ standard. There's risk in deviating from the norm. And they not only make it work, but embrace is and make it a core element of their sound.
Outside of all the amazing insights and musical analysis… the EDITING on this had me hunched over laughing so hard 🤣🤣 props to Umu you did a mighty fine job here 👌🔥
I need ReacttotheK crew and Stray Kids in the same room so bad!
*They'll probably imitate Felix's low voice in chaos*
Praying that it will happen when they're in the US between tours! 🙏🙏🙏
They spent 3 days deconstruct Maniac while I pictured 3racha deconstructing Maniac for year end special stages (SKZ specialty and trademark).
Y'all need to react to Venom and Charmer. The bsides in the oddinary album. The instrumentals are crazy.
i feel like 3racha's process on music creation starts with a dot then gradually expanding that dot into a whole painting if that makes sense. It's like, they will use one sound or object as the core and then expand that core by cooking it up, combining, layering it with a more complex beats in the same range and then interchanging one another to create a more complex sounds but still within the core. I hope i'm making sense. And i love that they use actual sounds of things from the environment.
The jumpcut between verse and chorus to show swung/not was so jarring like, I knew they were obviously quite a change but it just hits different hearing it that way!
I was waiting for this and as always your reactions don't disappoint: the analysis and thoughts are super interesting and your editing is so so so funny, I died from laughter!!
Honestly I love the different parts of the song, the production and the synths especially. I love also that they always have a clever use of FX.
Musicians: It goes hard...
That's all folks!
I agree with Kevin, that I was expecting a little more from the last chorus the first time I heard it. But still I love this song and I can’t wait to hear it live this summer! They never cease to amaze me with their writing and production.
Update: Just scored tickets to their Seattle show! See y’all in July baybeeeeeey
The editing is sending me to the moon lmao. I do love watching you all replicate songs with your instruments and I love how y’all interpreted the song’s message. I loved this whole album but this song was definitely a fun title track.
I ALWAYS DEAD ON THE HILLARIOUS EDITS OF THEIR DISTORTED FACES 😭🤣😭🙏🏻
That Felix-but-with-Kevin's-face edit is SICKKK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It is when you guys react to Stray Kids that I start to miss Charlotte react with you guys.
we miss her too 🥺❤️
It does sound very middle eastern, which is so interesting. It’s cool to learn about phrygian dominance, I didn’t know there was a specific concept that gave off this specific sound.
19:11 that melody on keyboard sounded soo good! i wish we had instrumental covers from you guys😩😩 i would listen to it all day😩
6:52 "More authentic when it goes straight 8s" coincidentally SKZ are a 8 member group. Idk why i'm pointing it out but I just found it interesting
they are gonna kill the bird with that thing I- 😭
When I saw skz is their own genre I mean skz is their own genre. They’re so creative and always thinking outside the box when making music it throws musicians, including me, off in a good way! 3racha and skz you will always be famous 😌
Is Jason the fourth hidden member of 3racha? He's always on point with the interpretations!
Extradinary 😆😆 Kevin. anyways the whole review is so cool specially the explanation on the separation of music between the verse & chorus. 12:52 I always watch your reactions cuz it was very educational for everyone who is interested in music.
THE EDITS YOU ALL HAVE GIVE THIS SO MUCH FLAVOR 😳 3:06 I LOVE IT
completely lost it at 9:20, i love how much they were clearly enjoying that, and the editing was hilarious
Omg I've never been so EARLY. Hyunjin slayed this so hard. Also, I loved your bird-and-drill edits 🤣 got me snorting so hard lol
EDIT: Jason seems tired. Is he ok?
Sent this comment to him! 🥺 he says it's been a rough semester at school but things are slowly getting better ☺️
@@ReacttotheK aww, that's relieving to hear! Hope he can rest soon :)
Their explanations are so educational. I always learned something from them. They not only react, but they also discuss.
- I wish that you get to interview 3racha in the near future.
- I wish that you also react/discuss Stray Kids song CHARMER from the same album ODDINARY.
Yeah please react to Charmer.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTIONS. THANK YOU UMU FOR THE QUALITY CONTENT
this song goes so hard the prechorus is like perfect anticipation building and then the chorus is just completely subversive i love it
p.s. ik ur watching this bang chan
as a muscian who also likes breaking down music w/ my brother (also plays) every time we break down music or just talk about we geek over and then run to grab our instruments (me piano and alto sax, my brother guitar) and we geek over chord progression and what not and its so fun- so everytime i see you guys run to grab your instruments to play and understand the music makes me giddy too because im also geeking out lmao
Honestly I wish I had one frickin’ ounce of passion and sense for details like they have. It’s fascinating to watch how they’re so invested in what they do, really looking forward every time they react to stray kids 🙏
13:02 it was introduced by a bird then a drill
Idk why it cracks me up skjdksjsjsjs
Just found you but love the sheer musical analysis , so fresh perspective
Umu saying Bang Chan, Chan, Han but the image is Han covering Changbin's face ㅋㅋㅋ. And that Bang Chan's way of censoring fck hahaha. (Hello Chan if you're reading comments and see this 👋🏼)
SKZ music always good sht 👍🏼
this comment is bang chan and umu blue hair appreciation post
Stan Talent Stan Stray kids
As someone who has no idea about music theory and production this was super interesting. I'd be lying if I'd say I understood everything you were saying, but I learnt a lot of new things about a much loved and listened to song, so thanks
Skz world domination 🙌🏼♥️
This album is so amazing. Refreshing. Fun! Cool. DEEP and meaningful!
Best album of 2022 so far and one of my faves from Skz!
I always end up feeling like such a genius after watching your videos. The way you explain everything is just so mindblowing to me. I always feel like im learning something. Also top notch editing!
just wanted to quickly point out that Umu and Chan are matching hai colours! it's very cool
as someone that have synesthesia (taste related) it’s so interesting how these different flavors are explained in a musical standpoint to me. and somehow it clicks in my mind! Kudos to you guys & 3racha for all these hard work! Really amazing piece, the whole album is a whole buffet (for my senses, literally!)
ReacttotheK reaction videos are always one of my most anticipated reaction videos whenever a group I like has a new release. Its amazing how you guys can break down the song in such a short time and come up with new interpretations of different parts of the song. I watched all of your skz reactions (and rewatch them every now and then too) and I feel so oddly proud (?) to see how much this channel has grown just from that time. Thank you for the time and efforts you guys put into these videos!!
"How about the follow-up album EXTRA-ddinary"
Xdinary Heroes reaction confirmed jk
I’m so happy you reacted to this!!! I learn so much from it
Everyone: (knows it's good)
Classically-Trained Musicians: Tells us _why_ it's good.
This is why I love listening to an analysis done by trained musicians.
Thank you for reacting to this!! I hope you'll dp the whole mini album too, such a well put one with interesting sounds
OHHH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!! THANK YOUUU 🥺💗
The editing is so so satisfying to watch along with these analysis from these amazing musicians. Kudos to the editing team too.
Love how the tactile methods of the music excites this reaction. Thank you so much for appreciating the talent behind Stray Kids and their messages which their music relate to the listener.
Loved the reactions, Thank You all.
I really wanna see the musicians reacts to venom, freeze and charmer 😭 i really enjoyed how they went deep with every sound that i wanna hear it again with the other songs in the album.
I've watched the MV dozens (if not hundreds) of times, but I didn't realize until it was in a tiny video on my phone even tinier that a couple members are clipping CG thread with their choreo in the MV (specifically Felix)
I watch so many reacttothek vids but this is one of those amazing ones that really makes me appreciate the song even more.
I can also picture Chan’s little giggle smile watching this video.
See, when I started listening to them in Back Door era (and finding CJMR reactions on it is a gold mine) they wrecked me hard. God’s Menu had the same effect.
But come Thunderous, AND THEY STILL SLAY ?! Like how can 3RACHA specifically be this genius ?! (again, your CJMR reactions made me realized I really am gonna stan them for the long run)
AND THEN MANIAC COMES 🫠
They’re basically releasing amazing stuff every single time, without fail. Sometimes I do wonder if it’s because they get to work on their own piece, unlike other JYP’s artists.
Thanks for uploading this umu 💙
description of the song: - goes hard
thank you wall
Really been looking forward to this video
I love your reactions, you really help me appreciate more the work of this boys!
I so love watching you all geek out on these reactions. I learn so much, and it's so much fun.
Will and Jory playing Maniac on their instruments is really nice! It would be really awesome to hear a full version of it!
This is such a good reaction! You can always trust classical and jazz musicians to give a musical perspective 😌😌
YESSSSSS THANK YOU THANK YOU!! BEEN WAITING 🙇🙇🙇
i had been waiting for this reaction since you tweeted about this !! thank you for this reason and I enjoyed so much ( but to behonest i don't understand all the technical knowledge you said here) yet love to know why and which part you think is cool from your perspective. And SO GLAD you saw Chan's reaction !!
AHHHHHH. I've been waiting for Maniac-(in felix's voice) for today's video! :3
Thank you for reacting to stray kids! I would love to see more reactions to other recent releases like venom, freeze, lonely st, and especially charmer!
This was so insightful. I love stray kids and this was an awesome video!
I already arrived dropping a like cause I know the video will rock
we waited for this, thank you reacttothek
I always learn so much from your videos! Great work, keep it up!
Love love love having a more detailed and analytical insight into how the technicalities of 3racha's composition lends to the creative concepts.
Thank you so much for your analysis of Maniac!! I was really interested in what made the synths so unique and catchy since I first heard the song and watching the students try to figure it out in terms of music theory was super cool
FINALLY I WAITED FOR THIS THANK YOU
Umus humour is immaculate it's hilarious. Loved this 🙏🏻
And as always Umu's editing getting more and more funny informative and entire training :)
Thanks for this reaction :)
I love the reactions, as always. I especially like how Jason react to this, not only about the musical aspect but also the whole meaning of the song. Also Will is so hilarious lmaooo. Oh and Umu, good job on the editing 😆
Absolutely love it! People who do completely different type of music and have no idea what they're about to listen to - that's amazing! So interesting to hear what they got to say. Thank you so much for sharing.
5:20 When the guy thought they will kill the bird using the drill 😂 that made me laugh so hard 🤣 and hissss faaaaaaceeee OMG 🤣
Finally 🎉🎉like I’ve been waiting this since the mv came out ❤ just love it when you guys reacted to it❤
the meme edits getting better. Good fun lol thanks for this.
Will you guys do an album reaction that would be so cool as all the songs sound and feel so different :D
Watching reaction videos makes me realise there is so much to everything. Literally even just breathing, walking, eating, singing, music, dancing and other stuff. There is a whole world that people have studied and perfected on it and I just love how people are able to explain how things work and why i get such satisfaction listening to it
