B-Sides are just all the songs on the album that aren't the title track, which are usually the title of the album. For example, the title track on this album is Mama, which is their debut song as well. What is Love and History, that you just reacted to, are both B-side and are actually both pre-debut songs amazingly! For the rest of the B-sides on this album, there's no MV's but you can find lives of it. Usually reactors that do B-Sides, view the lyric videos if there aren't any MV's, if you wanted to save the lives for later. Once you get into the lives, you'll see how even more amazing they sound vs the studio versions :) ENJOY the journey. Much respect!
Lol for all of you music fans who don’t remember when music only came out on records (44 yr old EXO-L here, I’m from the cassette tape era), when an artist released a single, it came out on a record, with one song on it. But rather than waste the other side of the record, they started recording a second song which they called a B-side. This commenter is correct in saying that now, B-sides refer to all the songs that aren’t the title track.
Am gonna subscribe to you cuz you've got a long long way to go reacting to EXO, and speaking from experience, you'll be addicted to them...don't forget their reality/ variety and awards shows plus their dramas and movies especially Kyungsoo's...am 70 years old and and I can't get enough of them...
@@jgelien21 oh yeah 8/9 them are professional actors....5-6 them are theatre musical actors....D.o one of the main vocalist of EXO is the NUMBER ONE IDOL ACTOR rn he already won near 20 awards just for his acting skills ....All of them are BRAND AMBASSADORS for famous brands like GUCCI ,PRADA ,BURBERRY ,LOUIS VUTION ,TOMMY HIFIGURE .. .not as a group they are very successful in their solo careers too.....6/9 are successful soloists and one of main vocalist BAEKHYUN He was the one broked 19 years of record becomes most sold out soloist ....not only that EXO holds a GUNIESS WORLD RECORDS for two times WORLDS FASTEST SOLD OUT CONCERTS TICKETS just 0.2 secs ...till today it's a RECORD .......it's not too late for get to know them ....like they always said that it's no matters which way or which year you recognize them it's not going to changes how much they love their fans ....that means they loves us EXOL'S EQUALLY ...... Once you get to know them it's not easy to not falling in love for them......so don't hesitate .....just dive in......good luck for ur EXO journey .....
EXO are credited with starting and defining the 3rd generation, so this would have been at the end of the 2nd. Whatever, most of their music was ahead of its time which is why it stand up so well even now - with a few fashion choices excluded! From the very start, they did not fit in boxes and they continue to find their own journeys in group and solo work. It is part of what makes them so exciting.
Now that means Wolf is next in line, idk if you'll like it because it's that kind of song that grows on you after listening to it more than once, tho it has ones of the best highnotes battle between our main vocalists, but we do suggest to react to Wolf remix live stage in Japan, it's a hundred times better than the original studio version
I’m excited to see how he’ll react to wolf cuz that was the Mv that got me hooked onto EXO cuz it was so unique to me So I wanna see his reaction to it haha Im sure he’ll love those high notes and the dancing is pretty unique too!!~
Up. Wolf got me after listening to the concert remix version. Now, I'm in love with that song. I'd sing it just about everywhere like, "Geurae wolf naega wolf AWOOOO!!! (Ah saranghaeyo) nan neukdaego neon minyeo!!!"
Felt the same way..i didn't like it at first when I watched the MV..but after watching it few times it gets stuck on your head and you catch yourself singing it 🤣🤣🤣 Plus watching the live wolf remix awww i love this song now! 😁
EXO's "History" MV is supposed to be an introduction for EXO and it was meant to begin to establish their storyline and concept as a group. So to understand their "History" MV, here is what you need to know: As aliens from Planet Exo, the members are about to be sent to Earth on a mission. "History" is thought to be about how EXO are still on Planet Exo and they are preparing to be sent to Earth. So that is why it has a very futuristic look and feel to it. There isn't a whole lot of story because it is a pre-debut MV so this was meant to just introduce the members and establish their concept. "History" is EXO's second pre-debut track. It was released in 2012 -- about 2 months after their first pre-debut song and MV "What is Love," and about 2 months before "Mama," which is EXO's official debut -- so this is more than 9 years ago. "History" is the introduction of the storyline and it explains what led up to the events in "Mama." In the EXO-K version of "History" you only saw the EXO-K (Korean) members -- Kai, D.O, Suho, Sehun, Baekhyun and Chanyeol -- singing, and in the middle of the song you see them flash to the EXO-M (Chinese) members -- Lay, Kris, Chen, Luhan, Xiumin and Tao -- however, if you watch the EXO-M version you will see that the EXO-M members are the main characters in the story and they only show the EXO-K members briefly. This establishes how the two groups are separate and yet still are all part of one group as EXO. Both versions of their MVs may look the same on the surface, but the story is slightly different because it is being told from a different angle or different perspective in each version. Fun fact: if you compare the English translation of the Korean and Mandarin lyrics, you will see that the songs are slightly different. Because, as the intro to "Mama" points out, the two halves of EXO stand on the same ground and see different things and they stand on different grounds and see the same thing -- they are separate groups and yet they become one, etc. Hence, their songs and story are the same and yet different. To understand the story in their "History" MV this is one time where it is helpful to look up the English translation of the lyrics. The song is called "History" and in the lyrics they talk about making history. It's about failing at something and trying again to make it right. So, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. They are trying to prevent "History" from repeating itself. And they want to make "History" here on Earth. It establishes the whole reason why EXO are fighting against the Red Force and why they need to find the Tree of Life and restore peace. They can't let whatever happened on their planet happen again on Earth, etc. The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story. However, just so you know, we didn't fully understand that was what the MV and song was trying to tell us, until several years later, after we had more context to go on after we had several other MV stories and more information. But that is why we say, if you want to try and follow EXO's story you have to pay attention to everything and you have to remember as much detail as you can about everything you have ever seen and heard from EXO. Because although you might think you understand one piece of EXO's story, with every new release from EXO, we get a little more information, and, sometimes it helps to confirm what we thought to be true and sometimes it turns the whole theory on its head and makes us realize what was happening wasn't what we thought after all. What complicates this even more is the fact that almost nothing in their storyline is in chronological order, so we EXO-Ls (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline. And I literally mean everything, from their teaser videos, to their MVs, to their song lyrics and live performances, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at their concerts) and even some of their choreography, as well as their sub-unit and solo work. Everything EXO does is connected. And now that story has branched out even further to include all of SM Entertainment's groups and artists storylines. Everything that SM Entertainment produces is all part of one giant story, like a giant graphic novel or mystery movie series, and it's all connected to the SM universe storyline, that all started with EXO in 2012. Each new MV or project is another chapter in the story, and it's up to us fans to figure out where it all fits in the larger storyline. To see their dancing better, if you haven't already, check out the dance practice for "History," the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice. And it's one of their few choreographies where the two groups are not combined because they were completely separate groups in this MV.
EXO was created to be different! They don't follow trends, they carve their own niche which clearly sets them apart from other groups. EXO can slay any genre as proven by their impressive discography. Their vocal and harmonies are unmatched. While their studio recordings are first rate, EXO live is a totally different experience altogether. So proud to stan them!
I love your reactions to EXO and I'm so glad to see you becoming an EXOL and giving them the love and recognition! You really should listen to the EXO-M versions of the songs too because 3 of the members that originally were in M are still in EXO and they shine in M. Then you can really feel the extent of all of the members talent, even during the early days! Xiumin, Chen, and Lay aren't featured in the Korean songs until the combined the two groups into one so you don't get to experience their debut talent if you don't check out the EXO-M versions too! Plus some of the story is included in the EXO-M versions of the MVs so if you don't watch them you'll miss some stuff!
A bside is just a song that doesn't get promoted as much. A title track or aside will usually get an mv, choreo, and will be promoted often on music shows, interviews, etc.
Subscribed because it's been a while since I've seen a reactor actually be serious about getting to know EXO. You're in for a ride because every single member is extremely multi-talented! As always, thank you for your attention to EXO! You're going to have the most amazing time getting to know EXO and I'm really excited for you!
EXO in their younger days were already slaying like these. Although History and What is Love are included on Mama, they are actually pre- debut songs and were initially released as singles, so was Mama the song. Their vocals were already amazing even before debut. I really love it especially when they sing together. Their voices are so different but you couldn't tell when they sing together
If someone hasn't already said, the term "b-side" is a reference to vinyl albums, where the "a" side would have the main track(s) and the "b" (or reverse) side would have additional songs. 😊
The others songs in the Mama mini album "Angel" ( is sing only by D.O, BaekHyun and Suho. *The Michael they talk in the song is ArchangelMichael) "Two Moons" (sing Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun and feat Key from Shinee) and "Machine" B-sides are the rest songs of an album that doesn't have Music videos. In the case of Mama album, "what is love" and "History" are B sides, but they were chosen as pre debut songs to represent exo. Most albums have 1 title track ( Mv and promotions are done with this song and sometimes 1 B side will be used I live for music shows) but their album "Ex'act" has 2 title tracks "Monster" and "Lucky one". They both have mvs. You should also know that Exo for full albums they have something called repackaged album, is the same album with 3 added songs, and from those 3 songs they get a new MV. For example "Tempo" is the title track of their album "Don't mess up my Tempo" the repackaged album is "Love Shot" Mini albums like "Mama" and the winter specials ("Miracles in December", "Sing for you", "For Life" and "Universe"), "Obsession" album, and the special album "Don't fight the feeling" Don't have repackaged versions.
My friend and I had a whole thing about what kpop calls title tracks and b-sides. Title tracks are not always the song named after the title of the album. (In the exo album exodus, the title track is call me baby even though there’s a song called exodus on the same album). Title tracks are the promoted track of that album, meaning it has a music video and they perform it at music shows. There can be multiple title tracks usually two that are usuallh equally promoted. (Monster and Lucky One were double title tracks of the album Ex’act where both getting MVs). B-sides are not the lesser quality songs nor are they songs that are merely added onto an album. B-sides refer to the songs that are not the title track meaning they are not promoted.
B-sides is simply any song that is not the main title track, all of the other songs on the albums , there is no music video for most of them and they are not used as promos like the title track is , great reaction as always, if died when you shake your pants with them 😂 I do that too
The B sides for EXO besides the EXO M songs are any song that isn’t promoted as their title track. So many don’t have MV’s but are popular for their dance practices or performances. The EXO M title songs will have MV’s that mirror the EXO K ones but with the other members. To search type in “EXO M History or Mama” and you’ll get the other version.
They actually MADE the HISTORY with HISTORY .......HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY to HISTORY the song celebrated ten years of released .at march 8th...... And i never get enough of their showcase performance of HISTORY ...... ICONIC SUHO's SARANGHEE .....😅 EXOL'S are you agree with me....... What a song ........hard a f pre debuted ........... Just amazing ...... EXO NEVER DISAPPOINT ........... That beat never getting bore ....even it's surpasses more years ahead....and chanyeol' we are EXO M ,EXO K.......... EXO FOR LIFE .....❤️ ........FOREVER .......❤️
IM ENJOYING THE EXO JOURNEY WITH U AND ALL CO-EXOLS ❤ B-SIDES R NOT TGE MAIN SONGS THEY R NOT PROMOTED AND DOSEN'T HAVE ZN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO BUT HONESTLY EXO'S B-SIDES R NO SKIPPING..
B side is every song that is not the title track on the album. Title track have music videos, b sides usually don't with few exceptions like double title track (two title tracks) or pre debut songs or special releases) Hope that helps :)
B-Sides have no m/v but are other tracks on the album. Usually b-sides are better than m/v songs. Consider checking for a live, dance practice, or lyric video for them. Thanks as always for your reactions to EXO!!
Eeehhhh bsides being better than title track is very arguable tho. But honestly it all comes down to personal taste at the end. But musically speaking? Not always.
B side means not a title track so exo only performed at concert. Most of exo L could watch exo’s every single of songs performing if they could went to concert. Exo released 6 regular albums and had have a 5 times official exo planet series tour concert. ( exo planet #1,2,3…#5 until 2019 December)
B-sides are all the Non- title tracks. usually albums will have 1 or 2 title tracks with MVs. All the rest are b-sides. Back in the day, when you had a 45 album, the a-side would be the hit song, then you flip over the 45 to the b-side would just be another song on the album
B side of the album is songs that is not the title track..its actually the rest of the songs in the album. For this first album the title track is MAMA (you've reacted to that already) the rest of the songs are WHAT IS LOVE, HISTORY, ANGEL, TWO MOONS and MACHINE. Not all songs have MV you see so to listen to them you can check out lyric videos or do the live performances..they still perform their old songs in their concerts so if you want to see them perform it live with choreo and everything 😉😊. Either way enjoy discovering their songs..let us know which one is your favorite song(s) in each album 😊
@@ABtheKreator 👍👍👍😊😊😊 Oh in case your reacting to the next album XOXO..the other tracks of that song that does'nt have MV there is actually a video from their concert with 4 songs from that album in one video..they performed it in their exoplanet#2 concert. The songs were PETER PAN, XOXO LUCKY and 365. If in case you'd want a live performance reaction of those songs 😊😁
In "Mama album " I like" two moons" the beat soo nasty everytime I heard that song, I stop working and dance, 😅😅😅 I played 3times before I stop dancing, luckily my boss is not around so I can dance awhile im working, hahaha
B sides are all tracks that aren’t the title track. I can tell you where the name comes from! Back in the day, singles were sold on 45s, which were a smaller size than a vinyl album. The title song was on one side, always marked with an A, and another song off the album was on the flip side, marked with a B. 45s rotated at 45 rpm. Full albums were 33 1/3 rpm (though they were just called albums). You set the speed on your record player for whichever one you wanted to play. Source: I’m really, really old.
The bsides is what songs comes in the album they usually don't have an mv only the title song of the album have an mv but some times one or two bsides have an mv just like what is love and history in the album mama they are bsides
Never really heard of EXO before til your reaction videos…uhhh now I’m hooked and I’m here for the journey and learning with you lol (originally here for NF )
Please, at some point, PLEASE listen to the Chinese versions of their earliest MVs! You are literally only hearing/seeing half the group in these early releases because they had a split group concept. MAMA, What is Love and History literally only have 6 out of 12 members, and Wolf, Growl and Overdose have all 12 but the parts are shuffled to strongly favor one side of the group over the other, so it really makes a difference. After Overdose is when some of the members of EXO-M start leaving, so they don't really do the split group concept after that. So many reactors get through EXO's entire discography having barely heard Kris or Luhan perform and it makes me so sad!!!
I've listened to most of the EXO-M versions too, but it always throws me hearing it in Chinese instead of Korean since that's how I first heard it. And I listen to a lot of Chinese music too, so it's not the language that throws me. Just not what I'm expecting sound-wise. Like how you get used to radio/studio versions and live can sound different. The M versions are definitely worth watching and listening to though! Not least of all to get more Lay content.
I stan them since I was 17 Y.O now i'm turning 26 this year and still with exo. Exo forever. I subscribed thank u for reacting to exo more albums, mvs, live performance to react . Thank you
You're now my favorite content creator. It's fun to look at you react. I've seen other reaction videos and they're just frozen, no body movements. But you my friend is jam!!
I remember when this song/video dropped. I’m a hardcore 2nd Gen kpop fan so I was a little jaded when the newer groups started coming out for 3rd Gen. No matter how hard I didn’t want to like them, I fell in love with EXO and have been in love with them ever since 🩷🩷
Enjoyed your awesome reaction. I told you that you’re in for a wild ride on EXO’s journey. Watch their live performances and you’ll fall off your chair when you hear their live vocals. Enjoy the ride, m’fren. Thanks & Cheers! 👍🏼😄🥂
Seriously, your channel is how I am finding and adding new songs and kpop groups to my spotify play list. Love your reactions and the fact that you take the time to learn about the group and the members and share than information with is is amazing! I found kpop last year.
B-sides are just all songs on an album.. They are not title tracks that are usually the most famous song on an album, but are considered honorable mentions, which we may or may not like.
thanks for the effort AB. i think after this you can straight move on to 2nd album.. because others have no music video/live performances.. 2nd album is fire! el dorado!
As a reference A-side and B-side was a term started back when a record or cassette was used to record music. The A-side of a the record or cassette used to contain the tracks that were to be heavily promoted or that were the most likely to become hits.For example, the title track would be on the A-side of the record or cassette. The B-side would then generally contain the lesser known tracks and or tracks that would have little to no promotion. So now stepping into the year 2022 when cassette and records are pretty much a part of history lol, B-sides are the tracks that are not the title track and have little to no promotion. No Music video and are generally not promoted in music programs and no choreography attached to them. Now this does not mean that the songs aren’t good because as a general rule at least where EXO is concerned their B-side are fire.
In every album, there's the title song which has an MV and there are the other songs that are called b-sides. What EXO-Ls mean when they say they're great, it's that in some albums, you can only focus on the title song as it's the most catchy, but when it comes to EXO, their b-sides are all as catchy as the title songs!
B-Side for me is where some of the best tracks are, the Soul of the album. The non-commercial tracks that have the most artistic freedom. It's the hood section... Blackity Black Black Black.
Boy just wait till you hear their ballads!! Since you're starting Exo journey from the beginning I think you should react to *Chen and baekhyun - I really didn't know (immortal song)* next which they performed while they were rookies.
I’m 74 years old..hard stan for Exo. So happy that your enthusiasm matches mine for this group🥰❤️🥰
Same here, I am 60....
🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's amazing!
65 this year!
Im EXOL hard stan and im 57, turning 58 this yr,waiting for their comeback.

For example, the title track on this album is Mama, which is their debut song as well.

So I wanna see his reaction to it haha
Im sure he’ll love those high notes and the dancing is pretty unique too!!~
Up.
Wolf got me after listening to the concert remix version. Now, I'm in love with that song. I'd sing it just about everywhere like,
"Geurae wolf naega wolf AWOOOO!!!
(Ah saranghaeyo) nan neukdaego neon minyeo!!!"
Felt the same way..i didn't like it at first when I watched the MV..but after watching it few times it gets stuck on your head and you catch yourself singing it 🤣🤣🤣
Plus watching the live wolf remix awww i love this song now! 😁
yes for WOLF definately go with the live in japan.. 1000000x better than mv/studio version
Yes please watch the remix one instead of the mv or watch both together

The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story.

What complicates this even more is the fact that almost nothing in their storyline is in chronological order, so we EXO-Ls (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline. And I literally mean everything, from their teaser videos, to their MVs, to their song lyrics and live performances, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at their concerts) and even some of their choreography, as well as their sub-unit and solo work. Everything EXO does is connected.
And now that story has branched out even further to include all of SM Entertainment's groups and artists storylines. Everything that SM Entertainment produces is all part of one giant story, like a giant graphic novel or mystery movie series, and it's all connected to the SM universe storyline, that all started with EXO in 2012. Each new MV or project is another chapter in the story, and it's up to us fans to figure out where it all fits in the larger storyline.
To see their dancing better, if you haven't already, check out the dance practice for "History," the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice.

You really should listen to the EXO-M versions of the songs too because 3 of the members that originally were in M are still in EXO and they shine in M. Then you can really feel the extent of all of the members talent, even during the early days! Xiumin, Chen, and Lay aren't featured in the Korean songs until the combined the two groups into one so you don't get to experience their debut talent if you don't check out the EXO-M versions too! Plus some of the story is included in the EXO-M versions of the MVs so if you don't watch them you'll miss some stuff!
Watch their practice videos too, History and Electric Kiss...
👀🔥🔥
B- sides are the tracks from the album, not released as singles. ie: “Angel”, “Diamond”, or “Artificial Love”.
Thank you
Yess more Exo!!!!!💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
3rd gen kings of kpop
A bside is just a song that doesn't get promoted as much. A title track or aside will usually get an mv, choreo, and will be promoted often on music shows, interviews, etc.
More Exo reaction please, i really love Exo, the King of Kpop
I really like their choreography. Adds so much to the song.
Subscribed because it's been a while since I've seen a reactor actually be serious about getting to know EXO. You're in for a ride because every single member is extremely multi-talented!
As always, thank you for your attention to EXO! You're going to have the most amazing time getting to know EXO and I'm really excited for you!
Thank you!!! I appreciate that
EXO in their younger days were already slaying like these. Although History and What is Love are included on Mama, they are actually pre- debut songs and were initially released as singles, so was Mama the song. Their vocals were already amazing even before debut. I really love it especially when they sing together. Their voices are so different but you couldn't tell when they sing together
Thank you for your reactions... EXO ❤️
If someone hasn't already said, the term "b-side" is a reference to vinyl albums, where the "a" side would have the main track(s) and the "b" (or reverse) side would have additional songs. 😊
The others songs in the Mama mini album "Angel" ( is sing only by D.O, BaekHyun and Suho. *The Michael they talk in the song is ArchangelMichael) "Two Moons" (sing Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun and feat Key from Shinee) and "Machine"
B-sides are the rest songs of an album that doesn't have Music videos. In the case of Mama album, "what is love" and "History" are B sides, but they were chosen as pre debut songs to represent exo. Most albums have 1 title track ( Mv and promotions are done with this song and sometimes 1 B side will be used I live for music shows) but their album "Ex'act" has 2 title tracks "Monster" and "Lucky one". They both have mvs.
You should also know that Exo for full albums they have something called repackaged album, is the same album with 3 added songs, and from those 3 songs they get a new MV. For example "Tempo" is the title track of their album "Don't mess up my Tempo" the repackaged album is "Love Shot"
Mini albums like "Mama" and the winter specials ("Miracles in December", "Sing for you", "For Life" and "Universe"), "Obsession" album, and the special album "Don't fight the feeling" Don't have repackaged versions.
Waiting here
EXO kings ♥️
Thank you for reaction, next exo love shot 😊
Subscribed! Loving your reactions to my KINGS EXO! Enjoy your journey as we EXO-LS did!
🙏🏾💙✅ thank you
My friend and I had a whole thing about what kpop calls title tracks and b-sides. Title tracks are not always the song named after the title of the album. (In the exo album exodus, the title track is call me baby even though there’s a song called exodus on the same album). Title tracks are the promoted track of that album, meaning it has a music video and they perform it at music shows. There can be multiple title tracks usually two that are usuallh equally promoted. (Monster and Lucky One were double title tracks of the album Ex’act where both getting MVs). B-sides are not the lesser quality songs nor are they songs that are merely added onto an album. B-sides refer to the songs that are not the title track meaning they are not promoted.
OMG!!!! WOLF IS NEXT or GROWL?? WHATEVERR.. BOTH ARE SUPERB. They can blown your mind..
🙌🏾👀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✅
@@ABtheKreator ✅✅
Omg I can't wait kills me when u get up and dance love it 😍
B-sides is simply any song that is not the main title track, all of the other songs on the albums , there is no music video for most of them and they are not used as promos like the title track is , great reaction as always, if died when you shake your pants with them 😂 I do that too
Yaayy!! More exo plss.. especially their Live stages😉
Already an EXOL.I'm enjoying this journey. Subscribed to go on a ride with EXO through you.Thank you
Oh wow thank you 🙏🏾
The pants move takes me out every single time 😂
EXO trend 😎
The B sides for EXO besides the EXO M songs are any song that isn’t promoted as their title track. So many don’t have MV’s but are popular for their dance practices or performances. The EXO M title songs will have MV’s that mirror the EXO K ones but with the other members. To search type in “EXO M History or Mama” and you’ll get the other version.
They actually MADE the HISTORY with HISTORY .......HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY to HISTORY the song celebrated ten years of released .at march 8th......
And i never get enough of their showcase performance of HISTORY ......
ICONIC SUHO's SARANGHEE .....😅 EXOL'S are you agree with me.......
What a song ........hard a f pre debuted ...........

EXO NEVER DISAPPOINT ...........
That beat never getting bore ....even it's surpasses more years ahead....and chanyeol' we are EXO M ,EXO K..........
EXO FOR LIFE .....❤️ ........FOREVER .......❤️
Can't wait
Next Reaction Exo Elyxion in Seoul 4# Diamond, Run This, Drop that, Power.
He want to React all the track first before he do the live
IM ENJOYING THE EXO JOURNEY WITH U AND ALL CO-EXOLS ❤ B-SIDES R NOT TGE MAIN SONGS THEY R NOT PROMOTED AND DOSEN'T HAVE ZN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO BUT HONESTLY EXO'S B-SIDES R NO SKIPPING..
Hi. Glad you're enjoying your Exo journey and I'm following it too. 🥰🥰🥰
B side is every song that is not the title track on the album. Title track have music videos, b sides usually don't with few exceptions like double title track (two title tracks) or pre debut songs or special releases) Hope that helps :)
B-Sides have no m/v but are other tracks on the album. Usually b-sides are better than m/v songs. Consider checking for a live, dance practice, or lyric video for them.
Thanks as always for your reactions to EXO!!
Eeehhhh bsides being better than title track is very arguable tho. But honestly it all comes down to personal taste at the end. But musically speaking? Not always.
You are one of my favorite reactor now! Thanks for reacting to our boys
B side means not a title track so exo only performed at concert.
Most of exo L could watch exo’s every single of songs performing if they could went to concert.
Exo released 6 regular albums and had have a 5 times official exo planet series tour concert. ( exo planet #1,2,3…#5 until 2019 December)
B-sides are all the Non- title tracks. usually albums will have 1 or 2 title tracks with MVs. All the rest are b-sides. Back in the day, when you had a 45 album, the a-side would be the hit song, then you flip over the 45 to the b-side would just be another song on the album
B-sides are other singles from one album without MV but all songs very good to listen and you can hear that only when they do concert or live stage.
Exo songs never get old or stale. I bop everytime I hear any one of their songs.
B sides are just the songs that aren't singles, with no videos
B side of the album is songs that is not the title track..its actually the rest of the songs in the album. For this first album the title track is MAMA (you've reacted to that already) the rest of the songs are WHAT IS LOVE, HISTORY, ANGEL, TWO MOONS and MACHINE.
Not all songs have MV you see so to listen to them you can check out lyric videos or do the live performances..they still perform their old songs in their concerts so if you want to see them perform it live with choreo and everything 😉😊. Either way enjoy discovering their songs..let us know which one is your favorite song(s) in each album 😊
Oooooohhhhhhhhhh ok ok got it now!!! So I’m doing it right by reacting to every song it’s just some may not have a MV! Got it 🙌🏾🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🙏🏾💙💙💙💙💙
@@ABtheKreator 👍👍👍😊😊😊
Oh in case your reacting to the next album XOXO..the other tracks of that song that does'nt have MV there is actually a video from their concert with 4 songs from that album in one video..they performed it in their exoplanet#2 concert. The songs were PETER PAN, XOXO LUCKY and 365. If in case you'd want a live performance reaction of those songs 😊😁
In "Mama album "
I like" two moons" the beat soo nasty everytime I heard that song, I stop working and dance, 😅😅😅
I played 3times before I stop dancing, luckily my boss is not around so I can dance awhile im working, hahaha
@@ABtheKreator
If you heard TWO MOONS get ready hahahah, I know you dance hahaha the beat so nasty,
@@songsong2158 yessss pls react all Exo song in each album
Exo song never dissapointed, they're b-side song is a gem 😍
B sides are all tracks that aren’t the title track. I can tell you where the name comes from! Back in the day, singles were sold on 45s, which were a smaller size than a vinyl album. The title song was on one side, always marked with an A, and another song off the album was on the flip side, marked with a B. 45s rotated at 45 rpm. Full albums were 33 1/3 rpm (though they were just called albums). You set the speed on your record player for whichever one you wanted to play. Source: I’m really, really old.
I REALLY think you should do a group guide before continuing this journey. It will hit different knowing their concept and the members names!
The bsides is what songs comes in the album they usually don't have an mv only the title song of the album have an mv but some times one or two bsides have an mv just like what is love and history in the album mama they are bsides
Never really heard of EXO before til your reaction videos…uhhh now I’m hooked and I’m here for the journey and learning with you lol (originally here for NF )
Welcome to EXO Planet Olicat77
The line. Please, Love me, love me. That 6 guys appear that is the member of EXO-M
I look forward to your reaction to EXO WOLF and TO THE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF EXO MAMA MONSTER WOLF LIVE IN JAPAN
👀🙏🏾💙👀🔥🔥
@@ABtheKreator 👩💻🤳👀🧔🏾😍💁♀️💋
And I found myself watching your journey about EXO. And here I am so proud with my precious boy. I always proud with these vocal kings.
Please, at some point, PLEASE listen to the Chinese versions of their earliest MVs! You are literally only hearing/seeing half the group in these early releases because they had a split group concept. MAMA, What is Love and History literally only have 6 out of 12 members, and Wolf, Growl and Overdose have all 12 but the parts are shuffled to strongly favor one side of the group over the other, so it really makes a difference. After Overdose is when some of the members of EXO-M start leaving, so they don't really do the split group concept after that. So many reactors get through EXO's entire discography having barely heard Kris or Luhan perform and it makes me so sad!!!
I've listened to most of the EXO-M versions too, but it always throws me hearing it in Chinese instead of Korean since that's how I first heard it. And I listen to a lot of Chinese music too, so it's not the language that throws me. Just not what I'm expecting sound-wise. Like how you get used to radio/studio versions and live can sound different. The M versions are definitely worth watching and listening to though! Not least of all to get more Lay content.
Ohhhhh this was good!
Great reaction as always AB!
❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Thank you ...more exo please ...
When you got up to dance, I was right there with you. Loved it 😊
I stan them since I was 17 Y.O now i'm turning 26 this year and still with exo.
Exo forever. I subscribed thank u for reacting to exo more albums, mvs, live performance to react . Thank you
EXO по настоящему изменила историю k-pop a и повисел стандарты фанатов k-pop...
Очень горжусь ими 😍😊
What amazed me when i heard it at first is that they blend or harmonize while they rap.
The babies EXO,vocals since they started!
You're now my favorite content creator. It's fun to look at you react. I've seen other reaction videos and they're just frozen, no body movements. But you my friend is jam!!
I remember when this song/video dropped. I’m a hardcore 2nd Gen kpop fan so I was a little jaded when the newer groups started coming out for 3rd Gen. No matter how hard I didn’t want to like them, I fell in love with EXO and have been in love with them ever since 🩷🩷
Enjoyed your awesome reaction. I told you that you’re in for a wild ride on EXO’s journey. Watch their live performances and you’ll fall off your chair when you hear their live vocals. Enjoy the ride, m’fren. Thanks & Cheers! 👍🏼😄🥂
Loving your reactions! Thank you for apreciating our kings! This is a proud Exo-L. Waiting for more.
Oh my gosh‼i'm so happy watching your reaction to this AMAZING boys. They are the best that happend in K-pop music industry‼They are LEGEND😍🤩
No B sides MV's ,just in lyric video if you wanna react or in live concert
Btw thank you for your lovely reaction
Oh ok thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for these reactions!
Seriously, your channel is how I am finding and adding new songs and kpop groups to my spotify play list. Love your reactions and the fact that you take the time to learn about the group and the members and share than information with is is amazing! I found kpop last year.
B-sides are just all songs on an album..
They are not title tracks that are usually the most famous song on an album, but are considered honorable mentions, which we may or may not like.
EXO insuperables 🤩🥰
You're one of my favorite reactor when it comes to exo's video. Keep it up and dig deep more about exo♥️
thanks for the effort AB.
i think after this you can straight move on to 2nd album.. because others have no music video/live performances..
2nd album is fire! el dorado!
El Dorado isn't on the second album. It's on their fourth album Exodus.
I love how you enjoy analyzing EXO they are unique 👍👍👍
Done subscribed for more exo content!
Brace yourself because aside from the main albums, EXO has winter songs/albums too. 🥰
OMG 😱
@@ABtheKreator don't worry, we're here to guide you through. I know it's a lot to take in but you can keep up. 🤗
Exo is the famous kpop boygroup in 3rd generation. They belong in 3rd gen.
Next exo wolf
Thank you for reacting to EXO. I hope you enjoy the journey. 😊
Appreciate you so nuch checking EXO 😊
As a reference A-side and B-side was a term started back when a record or cassette was used to record music. The A-side of a the record or cassette used to contain the tracks that were to be heavily promoted or that were the most likely to become hits.For example, the title track would be on the A-side of the record or cassette. The B-side would then generally contain the lesser known tracks and or tracks that would have little to no promotion. So now stepping into the year 2022 when cassette and records are pretty much a part of history lol, B-sides are the tracks that are not the title track and have little to no promotion. No Music video and are generally not promoted in music programs and no choreography attached to them. Now this does not mean that the songs aren’t good because as a general rule at least where EXO is concerned their B-side are fire.
yes! they're from the 3rd generation. it started from them and other groups. KINGS
EXO my very favorite!!
In every album, there's the title song which has an MV and there are the other songs that are called b-sides. What EXO-Ls mean when they say they're great, it's that in some albums, you can only focus on the title song as it's the most catchy, but when it comes to EXO, their b-sides are all as catchy as the title songs!
B-sides means there album♥️🇵🇭
I clicked subscribe cause i'm in the ride with you today starting from the first exo video.
I'm late
"Every song has a different sound" ... for the last 10 years! Me: Thank you. EXO: You're welcome.
Hope you will start reacting to their live performance and albums.
I’m doing the albums now and getting some live also
I see EXO i click right away!
B-Side for me is where some of the best tracks are, the Soul of the album. The non-commercial tracks that have the most artistic freedom. It's the hood section... Blackity Black Black Black.
Exo dftf album
EXO the war album
It's Just all their albums always on top
I can't wait for the day you listen to Jekyll, EXO B-side from Obsession album. It is epic.
What M/V is next? I'm excited. Diffinitely in WOLF or GROWL!.? Maybe
Great reaction. ❤️❤️❤️
Exo is my life ❤
Have you seen the acoustic parts of their concerts?...
I got to subscribe, I have to see your EXO journey. I love your reaction, do some more EXO please ❤️
Boy just wait till you hear their ballads!!
Since you're starting Exo journey from the beginning I think you should react to *Chen and baekhyun - I really didn't know (immortal song)* next which they performed while they were rookies.
