In 2019, Korean netizens voted Red Velvet as the group with overall best discography in Kpop. And it's only gotten better. If you only buy ONE album from a girl-group, this is the one to have.
for me it feels like nightmare is a lot like "nightmare before christmas", in a way that kinda looks like spooky christmas haha, i think its the chorus
9:58 You're right, only Joy sings the post-chorus/2nd chorus section at first, then passes it on to Seulgi. The others handle the overlapping (what you called) anti-drop section of the chorus and they actually sing it this way live (you should watch their Killing Voice, where they perform it in full). I think it was a lyrical choice to emphasize the anti-drop. (A 2/3 division would be less impactful.) This song has so many moving parts: different verse structures, that bloom of a buildup, a brisk two-part chorus, an almost-anachronistic three-part bridge, and of course the superimposed final chorus. At 3 & half minutes, it's really condensed. 14:21 Knock Knock samples Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (like their Japanese track Marionette), Birthday sampled Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, & 24:23 Nightmare is waltz-like & 24:35 they could've sampled Shostakovich Waltz 2 maybe? They also cribbed from Fur Elise on their 2022 b-side Bye Bye, and of course sampled Bach's Air on Feel My Rhythm. It works bc RV has the gravitas to interpolate from these sources. 😊 26:45 I share the ambivalence & it's this ambiguity I love abt it. I think it's bc the chorus is giving some sort of reassurance in medias res & the nightmare is ongoing. It's still very ominous & menacing in the background, so there's an uncertainty whether one wakes up at all. We ofc do & Iced Coffee is like the glimmering of dawn, the 'sunlight starting to kiss you,' the end of the 'black night,' but it's still chilly (after all Nightmare said 'Darkness is cold.') 29:4531:23 Yes! That was sublime. From crust to the Karman line real quick. I combusted. 38:08 From bay, the lyricist of Bulldozer: "When I listened to the demo version, I was thinking that the 'um.. Maybe you can't' part in the post-chorus and the 'Sorry you got in my way' part in verse 2 would go well with Wendy. And the pleasure of when her voice matched well with the vibes of derision was beyond description." 40:06 As mentioned in another comment, poet vs pain: someone who inspires vs wrecks, offers illumination vs lays waste Nobody marries orchestral music & trap/drill beats so gorgeously like RV. I'm glad you're liking Wings lately! It soars. It's that, One Kiss & my theatrical oddball Nightmare for me. /sry this comment got super long
Album of the year 🎉!!! Enjoying your RV reaction 🤗. Please watch Red Velvet perform “Chill Kill” live on the recent episode of Killing Voice👍. And a short solo version by Wendy on LeeMujin Service. Sounds even better than on the MV.
Another no skip album from my girls cant pick my #1 but itd between Nigtmare-One Kiss-Bulldozer..and knock knick I guess lol..ty for ur reaction..Im your poet Im your pain for me means can give the nice side of life and the bad too, and yes its the album of the year...even when people doesnt get her music ..
I just came to the channel after I watched your reaction of COSMIC... just love how your reactions are...when I first listen this album, I felt in love of Nightmare (I think because the christmas creepy vibe it has) but right now, Bulldozer and Knock Knock are my favorite and follow close for Chill Kill.
Yaaay I’ve been waiting since I didn’t get the chance to see pt 2 before it got copyrighted thank you thank you for your work will definitely enjoy the video 🤍🤍🤍

If you only buy ONE album from a girl-group, this is the one to have.
May I suggest you buy three albums: The Red, The Perfect Red Velvet and Chill Kill. 😁
@@LightSoundGate I have them already.
I bought "The Red" back in 2016.
I think Nightmare is a mini Chill Kill, which also switch from dark to bright. And it's my favorite song in this album.😌

OMG my favorite album❤ It's such a Red velvetic one🤭
The gorgeous duo of creepy sadness and a happy craziness
