@@tonystocco absolutely bought mine on black Friday since I had run my old nose headphones into the ground. It was a completely different experience listening to this album on these headphones than listening through my TV.
Je m'en doutais je l'avais teaser avant qu'on sache qu'elle soit dans l'album en lui disant : "normalement tu vas aimer mais elle n'existe que en concert pour le moment" 😅
“as we are” is seungmins song and it sounds nostalgic for a reason! it’s a song about his childhood; he loves baseball so much and he dreamed of being a player when he grew up but he quickly realised he would be suited for something else and became an idol instead! as every other solo song it’s written by the member who sings it , he also plays the guitar while singing it on stage and it’s just such a nostalgic song, seungmin is so talented even if the whole song is in korean u can really feel what he’s conveying
May be mentioned later but he was PINNED on MLB TT acct recently - he threw out the 1st pitch (STRIKE) last spring in a Korea/LA Dodgers exhibition game & they were acknowledging his accomplishments.
Chan was making comments recently about if any reactors could pick up some unusual but hard to pick out sounds in Railway and it made me wonder if he knows about you Tony. He said he loves watching reactions.
Tablo is a Korean/Canadian rapper and he made a cameo appearance on Megaverse. I think he was first gen K-pop. We’ve been waiting to see the collaboration since he wrote his name in the crossword puzzle in the MV.
Yes Tablo is also from a group called Epik High who is still going strong 21years now so so proud and he always knows how to spit bars his discography speaks for itself I am so so proud of Tablo that he got to do this collaboration
He's a member of Epik High. Who are not technically kpop , they're more a k-hiphop group . Technically they would be early 2nd gen i guess ? ... And they have the best lightstick in the history of lightsticks 😅
Stray kids love wordplay lol. In Bounce Back Felix said “come and say it in front of me, i dont give a 쉿(swit) move if you wanna live“ swit which means shoosh in korean, theyve used the same phrase in some of their previous songs as well, Han also said that Bounce Back was meant to be even more aggressive and explicit, but they had to tone it down a lot lmao
I almost wish the HIP version of Walkin on Water was the title song. I know not everyone is a hip hop fan and they wanted their title song to be more accessible to a wider audience, but the HIP version just SLAPS! It really brings the contained chaos that I love in Stray Kids songs.
The solo songs weren't in age order, or concert order. I think they were divided by vibe, with Youth & As We Are to change the mood in between. And Seungmin's solo is a great way to end a album, as the song is about going through the hardships of life & finding your roots to get through it all "in our own way."
15:20 The one rapping here is Felix Han also mentioned in the intro video that this song was originally a lot darker when they first made it,he said they toned it down A LOT
Han has been pretty open about his struggles with anxiety and depression and Hold My Hand is a song that was made this year when he says he’s finally healthy. The song is about him talking to his younger self. (The song Alien which he released several years ago is the precursor to this which is about his feelings of isolation.) When you consider that, the line “You said it’s fine but no I’m not” is so heartbreaking because he knows his younger self was lying. 😩
I said exactly the same about Bounce Back! It's a masterpiece, I want to kiss Han's brain. It makes my heart flutters how AWESOME it is. One of my favourite songs of their whole discography. This whole album makes no sense. I can't believe how they can be SOOO good. They lift the var every fucking time. Is insane.
Han and Chans masterpiece. Lyrics - Han, Bang Chan Composed - Han, Bang Chan Arranged- Bang Chan Instruments - Bang Chan Computer Programming - Bang Chan Background vocals - Bang Chan Digital Editing - Bang Chan
One of the things that I love about the way that Stray Kids uses autotune in their songs is that they use it as a tool, as an instrument in its own right; they use it to enhance and amplify the vibe that the song is setting. They have never relied on it or used it as a cruth, which was a *big* issue when autotune first took off and why I think there tends to be a stigma around it now.
i just know Tony would be in love with most 2018 tracks, just wait until he listens to I am not! awaken, mirror, district 9, so many tracks I'm almost sure he's adding to playlist as soon as he hears them.
Omg, queen noeasy has been dethroned. That’s not an easy feat, but as you suggested this album has grown on me with every listen. It’s so cohesive i love it
BOUNCE BACK IS SO GOOD everyone thank the kings Han Jisung and Bang Chan😌 Edit: yall stop fighting in the comments I just made a mistake, I'm human and it happens.... I didn't mean to discredit Chan, I would never
Bang Chan is in the credits, in fact he did a lot for the song and it was was mentioned how he was the one who added the whistling STOP DISCREDITING BANG CHAN
ig that han wrote the topline and wrote most of the lyrics but chan is first in arrangement bc this is the song he made for han to work his magic. its not just hanpop its both of them.
You taught me, after 50+ years of living, to really experience the music and absorb each and every sound. This album is another flex for Stray Kids. Their talent is top tier. Tony, No Easy, that diva, may need counseling after your new queen, HOP, takes over the world!
There's something about Chris's voice and that he uses it to highlight his vocals not mask weakness, that makes me okay with SKZ using it too. I'm a singer and normally I hate it too. Also the way that "why is it so good?" was so real and relatable. I think I drove everyone I know crazy going "NO, you don't understand how GOOD this is. Put your preconceived ideas of what Kpop is because it's going to surprise you" And it ALWAYS does
I JUST got comfy with a drink, a snack, my blanket, the works... then open youtube to see Tony is live and he's telling me to get up and get my headphones. Just for the record I did it for you Tony
after you said railway is up there with red lights, 3racha and taste, i realized chan was the main producer of the instrumentals of all those 3 songs ❤
Tony!!! They perform all the solo songs in the concert. I'm a hardcore Lee Know- Seungmin and Han biased but Changbin's solo got me screaming so bad. 😂😂😂 It was my favorite solo from the concert.
If you want to know about how they plan the album I will recommend you to watch the video named "intro (hop)" they explain the idea with they make the album. Sorry for my bad English ❤️❤️
Tony is better than me 😭 i have their whole discography on my playlist I just add whatever skz drop on my plate whether it’s good or bad (I mean they have no bad songs)
That's kinda like me, I have Skz playlists based on vibe/genre and I add every single song to one of them regardless of how much I like it--although like you said, there really are no bad songs
I made a Fave SKZ playlist way back when I first discovered them and then slowly added to it and now it has every single one of their songs on it including some covers 😂 even if I don't love a song at first, it always ends up growing on me
For skz replay the solo songs were in age order but this time it seems like they went with the vibes for the order! Thank you for making the comeback even more fun! I looked forward to this and listening to the songs again with your reactions. You did not disappoint!
I can't believe how versatile Han is this much. Bounce back and hold my hamd both of them are mainly his songs and he's like giving totally different vibes
1:05:00 Hold my hand's live performance fits have been inspired by the Nana anime often (I love that anime, Han also loves that anime) so this song is kind of important to me T^T
As We Are evokes so many feelings. Seungmin is one of those singers that absorbs you with his style and has the ability to convey feelings that transcends language. Even if not all of them were your cup of tea, I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciated all the tracks in some way. :) Thank you for your reaction! It's always fun to listen with you.
I did chuckle when you said you weren’t sure about the first version of Walkin on Water, couldn’t wait till you got the Hip version! That one was also an instant playlist for me 😂 I’m also finding it funny how I’m waiting for your reactions to my fave tracks, Ultra was one that I’ve been waiting for since I saw all the concert clips! Great reactions!
When hearing Walkin on Water Hip verison.. 1st thought: I love this (started dancing) 2nd thought: Tony will LOVE this!! Definitely check out their intro for HOP video, they take you through their thought processes for this album When other artist use autotune:🙅🏼♀️ When Stray Kids use autotune :✅ Unfair is all Felix, which is incredible. The song is about Beauty and the Beast from the Beasts’ perspective. Disney, give that man a voice acting gig already!!! Always love your reactions, they are top tier!!! This album is absolute FIRE 🔥. There are going to be multiple MVs for this album too along with the Walkin on Water title track MV. They never disappoint!!
This album is very special, because it beautifully expresses every member's color since everyone has their solo song, and even the other three songs are so good, truly the album of the year for me, also i think you'd really enjoy to watch the intro video they made for this album
I gotta say, i almost wait more now for your album reactions than the actual album! You have given me such a different appreciation to their music, and i always find new things that i missed listening back. You have such a unique skill identifying the different sounds and effects on the tracks and that is so freaking cool. Thank you for your content Tony :)
It was so awesome to see Tony getting progressively more overwhelmed with how good the album is, like it already started with Bounce Back but later with Walking on Water Hip ver. you could really noticed how overwhelmed he was getting with all the weird sounds at 25:31 and finally with Ultra he just died for a second at 57:22 with how good it sounds, he looked so tired after hahaha i really love it 😂❤. And i loove that he finally noticed Felix's multiple voices (and at 13:37 in Bounce Back it's Felix followed by Changbin). Also i didn't expect As We Are to be his vibe so i love that he liked it and noticed Seungmin's beautiful voice a lot.
Awe i had the same thoughts since i was sure Hold My Hand and As We Are would definitely not be Tony’s thing, but I’m so pleasantly surprised that As We Are had that nostalgia factor for him 😊
I've been so excited to hear your reaction to Ultra since I first saw a tiny clip of it, and you did NOT disappoint :D I also got out my big headphones for my first listen (usually I do my car), and it DID make a huge difference. Fantastic
30:48 Exact same thought for me. I genuinely think they outdid NOEASY and MIROH, which is skz peak for me. The first three songs, especially bounce back is a very clear foray into hiphop and different from their other songs, which I love. Each member's solo track has their own mood and it sounds absolutely amazing. This may be my favorite skz album (or one of) and it's an absolute no-skip. I'm glad we're on the same page🤣 Love your reactions
stray kids never fail to surprise with each comeback, and how they pull me in and make me listen to each release obsessively every time. i can't get over how good this album is, and loving each and every song. my favorites are without a doubt hold my hand (han's my ult bias, and i'm a hanpop enthusiast always so his songs always hit me a certain way), bounce back, as we are, so good, and then everything else because it's impossible to choose a true favorite. i just love this album so much, and it already means a lot to me. skz-replay might still be the album that holds the most special place in my heart, but this is up there now as well. and if/when we ever get a skz-replay 2 (I NEED VOLCANO ON AN ALBUM LIKE YESTERDAY), then that will be another album that will be very special for me as for favorite albums, i really can't choose a true favorite because it's just increasingly impossible for me to do so. all their albums are amazing
I live in South Africa so its summer here and this song Youth is perfect!!!! So glad you like the Album. The first 4 songs as well as the last are my favourites🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Calling "railway" outstanding makes me so happy ♥️ easily my favorite song on the album! The whole song just gives me chills and the intro is so haunting.
Came here to say that ever since your first Stray Kids reaction video, you've made me pay attention to every detail in the songs and I appreciate it! Seriously felt like I was able to truly admire every layer put in their music. Having that perspective change with this album for my first listen felt like a game changer! So, thank you! Secondly, Bounce Back gave me a bit of Beastie Boys vibes but also a bit of Limp Biskit as well? Regardless, this scratched the 90's hip hop/grunge nostalgia itch I didn't know I had. (Didn't grow up listening to much hip hop/rap in those days)
Tony, there is a full mv for Railway coming out soon, you must watch it because Chan is so intrigued of his interpretation of the song that sounds like a twin of Red light.
bounce back is so good its one of my faves too i really wish it was the title. han wrote the topline and the lyrics (with chan) and chan made the arrangement with versachoi! its probably my favorite arrangement bang chan's ever made.
I can only watch a reaction this long (1hr+) cuz his reaction is very genuine and it's JUST about the song!! And not reacting for views I love you reaction and watching, listening to it I learn a lot
so glad you loved the album! it's quickly become my favorite too. not a single skip. i adore the direction they went in with this one. thank you for sticking with stray kids! ☺
This reaction was great! Love this album so much! And to think it’s full of solos, not full of Stray Kids, the group, music, but music tailored to the tastes and preferences of each member. Yet still such a fantastic, no skip, album. Only SKZ. 🔥🔥🔥
Bang Chan is in the credits, in fact he did a lot for the song and it was was mentioned how he was the one who added the whistling STOP DISCREDITING BANG CHAN
Bounce Back credits since you want to be stupid: Lyrics: Han, BANG CHAN Composed: Han, BANG CHAN Arranged: BANG CHAN Instruments: BANG CHAN Computer Programming: BANG CHAN Background vocals: BANG CHAN, Han Digital Editing: BANG CHAN
@@onlybngchan calm down please they didn't mean to discredit chan, they are just not mentionning him as we KNOW that he is the genius behind all of their songs, they probably didn't mean any harm so don't insult please. I'm sure they just meant that Jisung played a big part in the lyrics and the vibe as he said in the intro video.
@maiaioudesbacsasable and he managed to do that because chan made the beat as you can see in the credits. And not mentioning Chan IS AND FOREVER WILL BE discrediting Chan. It's because of stays like you and op that people assume only han made the song since a lot people don't check the credits. I've corrected people constantly and A LOT of them have been suprised to learn Chan also worked on a song you chan antis call "hanpop" you all cause a lot of harm actually and don't realize it and don't care because it's Chan.
Bounce back is also my favorite SKZ song ever, it really rocketed its way up there. Han wrote it, and he said in their Intro for this album that the original version he wrote is actually even MORE aggressive (I’m assuming lyrically) and they had to tone it down keeping in mind they have young listeners too. What I would give to hear the original full aggression version… 12:20 Also the person rapping in this moment you highlighted is Felix!! He’s also the one who does the intro - “I don’t give a shit, move if you wanna live”. I’m living for his dark gritty vocal tone in this song
If no one's suggested it yet, but I think you might like Tablo's group Epik High. They're one of the o.g. Korean hip hop groups and are a major influence in the k-pop industry.
I think Han's songs are a special genre, so I feel that if you want to listen to more Han songs, the one I recommend could be "maybe" or "13" they may be rare but I think that in the background is very good, thanks for one more reaction Tony, stay loves you hahahaha 🫶🏼
I had so much fun listening to this with you today. I listened to the whole album probably about 10 times before your video went up, but I just find myself laughing as you say out loud everything I was thinking all along. And to be honest all of the solo songs are not new to us because they've been playing them at the concerts, but to hear the studio versions with such an immersive experience. And I'm with you on the auto tune, I've never been able to tolerate it but for some reason I don't bat an eye at how Stray Kids uses it. Thank you again for the wonderful entertainment!
One thing I love is feeling good and for some reason every time I see a reaction from you, regardless of whether you like it or not, I leave happy and watch the video with a smile.
I'm fine with auto tune if its being used as a vocal effect to achieve a certain ambiance. I have a problem with auto tune when it's needed because someone can't sing.
i always get jealous when the reactors can go to their concerts even tho they just started listening to stray kids but since div1 makes sure skz comes nowhere near me i can't
As soon as I heard this album, I knew you would love it. I love your reactions. You joke that it takes you time to get it, but you are really amazing and insightful at picking up so much from SKZ music. You have pointed out so much in songs that I have heard a million times, and didn't notice.
Bounce Back is one of my favs. Don't get me wrong, loving the others too, but Bounce Back just hit different. That aggressive, dirty, distorted beginning had me hooked hard. ❤🔥

"oh, hanpop?" ladies and gentleman, theres no way back for this one
We got him deep into it, he got tickets, he avoids spoilers to go into it blind, and he uses stay slang 😭
Tony Stocco breaking up with NoEasy for Hop is my new fav k-drama
LOL :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol😂😅
“Oh it’s hanpop?”
Tony you’ve come so far, I’m so proud.
My exact thought lol 😂
And so quickly.
I was like, "Did he just say Hanpop!?" 😊
@@OkieDoak19 SAME!! I was like no way
I mention han pop in the comments last time I feel so proud now lmao
started from the bottom (“I don’t know who these guys are”) now we here (“I avoided all the spoilers and trailers”)
NOT YOU TREATING “NoEasy” LIKE THE SIDE CHICK NOW. You broke up with her!? That’s how you know the album is good. lol.
Gotta have “the talk” with NoEasy. The it’s not you, it’s me talk. The heart wants what it wants.

It's ok. Eventually, you'll go back to her...they alway do. Lol

It’s crazy how now when I listen to music I make a prediction on if it is going to be on Tony’s playlist or not.
Same
real cause same!!
The live ended and I’m proud to say that I got a 100% on which songs would go directly to playlist
Hahah sammmeee, and i think we’re all pretty accurate by now huh??
Me too
If 3racha heard you linking walking on water to old school hip hop they would be so proud because that’s exactly what they were going for haha
Love that what helped change your mind about auto tune was Chans ✨laptop energy✨
He does that to people ❤
samee i started liking autotune ever since i have seen how well stray kids uses it
tony i recommend watching the intro to this album! it really gives more into detail with what they did and how they made this album
Yesss
Agreed!!!
Yes!
agreed!!!
yes I`D LOVE THIS
I laughed so hard when you said you got chills when listening to Railways because I got full body chills too. Chans a menace to society 😂
I have something really inappropriate to say but I won’t write it on UA-cam just to be sure🫣
Wait until he sees it live 😂

Tablo is a Korean/Canadian rapper and he made a cameo appearance on Megaverse. I think he was first gen K-pop. We’ve been waiting to see the collaboration since he wrote his name in the crossword puzzle in the MV.
that explain why the song get some old k-pop vibes (by old k-pop one i mean group just like TVXQ!) the choice of music background remember me this era

The studio recording will become known as the only time Felix says “swit”. We all know what he’s going to say if they perform Bounce Back live 😂
@@4mygrls3he would pull a Han🤣🤣🤣
Felix said it on Lalalala because everyone was like dis he swear and cc translated it to shhh. Also Han said in on Comflex.
Tony needs to make merch with just the word ‘Playlist’ on it
And "Grab your headphones" maybe a Shirt with ollie with headphones ❤
Ollie with headphones on...that's such a cute idea! Gets my vote!
I would buy it instantly!!
Also “let’s fuckin go”
And ”Ridiculous”😂
I almost wish the HIP version of Walkin on Water was the title song. I know not everyone is a hip hop fan and they wanted their title song to be more accessible to a wider audience, but the HIP version just SLAPS! It really brings the contained chaos that I love in Stray Kids songs.
Me too.
Same, I prefer the Hip version
I immediately loved the HIP version
Same. I enjoyed the beat changes and aggressiveness more😭
same the hip version put the original into the abyss of oblivision
I swear Channie knows you now.... Walking on water hip version was made with you in mind.....lol
I think so too ahaha he also wrote on bubble that there are weird sounds in Railway and he hopes (he doesn't lol) that we don't find them
You’ve really stanned these guys at the perfect time. They’ve been releasing so much music this year, call it fate.
I'm still floored. And I've lost count how many times I've listened to it since release. Bounce Back owns my soul at this point
This track and album are gonna make me re-visit my grunge and hip hop favs soon.
@@CeciliaO20 share some of your favs, please, and I'll listen along! 🥰
@Tinseltess I will once I can tear myself away from re-listening to HOP and finish up the live hang out. I'm fully invested. 😅
@CeciliaO20 💯 same. Enjoy!! Every comeback is a thrill, but this one is something special
LITERALLYYY
38:05 YES all the voices in Unfair are Felix. His vocal range is insane. His other solo song on the skz replay album (the one with FAM) is Deep End!
Railway is Bang Chan's (The Guy With The Laptop's) solo song. Just wait until you see it live 😅😳
His bias’ song gave him the chills! I think he’ll laugh when he realizes lol
I have never, ever, done this, but I truly love your videos. I think you are now a part of SKZ lore.
Wow, thank you!
Remember when you were shocked that my SKZ spotify playlist was 6,5 hours long? You get it now? 😜
The solo songs weren't in age order, or concert order. I think they were divided by vibe, with Youth & As We Are to change the mood in between. And Seungmin's solo is a great way to end a album, as the song is about going through the hardships of life & finding your roots to get through it all "in our own way."
15:20

Han also mentioned in the intro video that this song was originally a lot darker when they first made it,he said they toned it down A LOT
what a shame. they should SPILL
@HJasmin I know right!!
I love how Tony just whispers playlist for Railway by Bang Chan😂😂😂
He didn't want to ruin the mood 😂
Han has been pretty open about his struggles with anxiety and depression and Hold My Hand is a song that was made this year when he says he’s finally healthy. The song is about him talking to his younger self. (The song Alien which he released several years ago is the precursor to this which is about his feelings of isolation.) When you consider that, the line “You said it’s fine but no I’m not” is so heartbreaking because he knows his younger self was lying. 😩

You're gonna love the concert because their solos are on the setlist :)
Not necessarily. Alot can change between now and then
One of the things that I love about the way that Stray Kids uses autotune in their songs is that they use it as a tool, as an instrument in its own right; they use it to enhance and amplify the vibe that the song is setting. They have never relied on it or used it as a cruth, which was a *big* issue when autotune first took off and why I think there tends to be a stigma around it now.
Exactly!! Because their voices are so stable and fantastic on their own, the autotune works to just tweak the sound.
i just know Tony would be in love with most 2018 tracks, just wait until he listens to I am not! awaken, mirror, district 9, so many tracks I'm almost sure he's adding to playlist as soon as he hears them.

I made a Fave SKZ playlist way back when I first discovered them and then slowly added to it and now it has every single one of their songs on it including some covers 😂 even if I don't love a song at first, it always ends up growing on me
I waited with bated breath for your reaction to ULTRA……I was not disappointed lol
This song is PHENOMENAL!
As We Are - Seungmin's song - should be in a movie.
For skz replay the solo songs were in age order but this time it seems like they went with the vibes for the order!
Thank you for making the comeback even more fun! I looked forward to this and listening to the songs again with your reactions. You did not disappoint!
Bounceback is a gorgeous cacophony.
Ultra is my catnip for the day. perfection.
I can't believe how versatile Han is this much. Bounce back and hold my hamd both of them are mainly his songs and he's like giving totally different vibes
1:05:00 Hold my hand's live performance fits have been inspired by the Nana anime often (I love that anime, Han also loves that anime) so this song is kind of important to me T^T
As We Are evokes so many feelings. Seungmin is one of those singers that absorbs you with his style and has the ability to convey feelings that transcends language. Even if not all of them were your cup of tea, I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciated all the tracks in some way. :) Thank you for your reaction! It's always fun to listen with you.
It seems like you are a fan of Changbin. He wrote Hallucination and Ultra.
I did chuckle when you said you weren’t sure about the first version of Walkin on Water, couldn’t wait till you got the Hip version! That one was also an instant playlist for me 😂
I’m also finding it funny how I’m waiting for your reactions to my fave tracks, Ultra was one that I’ve been waiting for since I saw all the concert clips!
Great reactions!
I also couldnt wait for ULTRA. He is not my Bias but this song, this beat, this poformance. DAMN BINNIE 🎉❤

When hearing Walkin on Water Hip verison..
1st thought: I love this (started dancing)
2nd thought: Tony will LOVE this!!
Definitely check out their intro for HOP video, they take you through their thought processes for this album
When other artist use autotune:🙅🏼♀️
When Stray Kids use autotune :✅
Unfair is all Felix, which is incredible. The song is about Beauty and the Beast from the Beasts’ perspective. Disney, give that man a voice acting gig already!!!
Always love your reactions, they are top tier!!! This album is absolute FIRE 🔥. There are going to be multiple MVs for this album too along with the Walkin on Water title track MV. They never disappoint!!
that beat in the second chorus of the HIP version scratches my brain so nicely, it's crazy
This album is very special, because it beautifully expresses every member's color since everyone has their solo song, and even the other three songs are so good, truly the album of the year for me, also i think you'd really enjoy to watch the intro video they made for this album
I think this is my favorite Stray Kids album! It's collectively excellent in every way.
Hold My Hand is a special one. As are most of Han’s songs.
That's my feel good song from this album.
I gotta say, i almost wait more now for your album reactions than the actual album! You have given me such a different appreciation to their music, and i always find new things that i missed listening back. You have such a unique skill identifying the different sounds and effects on the tracks and that is so freaking cool. Thank you for your content Tony :)
It was so awesome to see Tony getting progressively more overwhelmed with how good the album is, like it already started with Bounce Back but later with Walking on Water Hip ver. you could really noticed how overwhelmed he was getting with all the weird sounds at 25:31 and finally with Ultra he just died for a second at 57:22 with how good it sounds, he looked so tired after hahaha i really love it 😂❤. And i loove that he finally noticed Felix's multiple voices (and at 13:37 in Bounce Back it's Felix followed by Changbin). Also i didn't expect As We Are to be his vibe so i love that he liked it and noticed Seungmin's beautiful voice a lot.
Awe i had the same thoughts since i was sure Hold My Hand and As We Are would definitely not be Tony’s thing, but I’m so pleasantly surprised that As We Are had that nostalgia factor for him 😊
I think one of the reasons I enjoy your reactions so much is because they don't feel forced
Dude Chan made walking on water hip version just for you I know it
Love the entire album. Bounce Back is my favorite.
I've been so excited to hear your reaction to Ultra since I first saw a tiny clip of it, and you did NOT disappoint :D I also got out my big headphones for my first listen (usually I do my car), and it DID make a huge difference. Fantastic
30:48 Exact same thought for me. I genuinely think they outdid NOEASY and MIROH, which is skz peak for me. The first three songs, especially bounce back is a very clear foray into hiphop and different from their other songs, which I love. Each member's solo track has their own mood and it sounds absolutely amazing. This may be my favorite skz album (or one of) and it's an absolute no-skip. I'm glad we're on the same page🤣 Love your reactions
stray kids never fail to surprise with each comeback, and how they pull me in and make me listen to each release obsessively every time.
i can't get over how good this album is, and loving each and every song. my favorites are without a doubt hold my hand (han's my ult bias, and i'm a hanpop enthusiast always so his songs always hit me a certain way), bounce back, as we are, so good, and then everything else because it's impossible to choose a true favorite. i just love this album so much, and it already means a lot to me.
skz-replay might still be the album that holds the most special place in my heart, but this is up there now as well. and if/when we ever get a skz-replay 2 (I NEED VOLCANO ON AN ALBUM LIKE YESTERDAY), then that will be another album that will be very special for me
as for favorite albums, i really can't choose a true favorite because it's just increasingly impossible for me to do so. all their albums are amazing
I've literally been hitting refresh on my YT home page waiting for this to pop up. Happy Friday, Stay!
Happy friday back 😊
I live in South Africa so its summer here and this song Youth is perfect!!!! So glad you like the Album. The first 4 songs as well as the last are my favourites🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“So good” is indeed so good 😭 can’t stop listening to it
Calling "railway" outstanding makes me so happy ♥️ easily my favorite song on the album!
The whole song just gives me chills and the intro is so haunting.
Came here to say that ever since your first Stray Kids reaction video, you've made me pay attention to every detail in the songs and I appreciate it!
Seriously felt like I was able to truly admire every layer put in their music. Having that perspective change with this album for my first listen felt like a game changer! So, thank you!
Secondly, Bounce Back gave me a bit of Beastie Boys vibes but also a bit of Limp Biskit as well? Regardless, this scratched the 90's hip hop/grunge nostalgia itch I didn't know I had. (Didn't grow up listening to much hip hop/rap in those days)
Tony, there is a full mv for Railway coming out soon, you must watch it because Chan is so intrigued of his interpretation of the song that sounds like a twin of Red light.
bounce back is so good its one of my faves too i really wish it was the title. han wrote the topline and the lyrics (with chan) and chan made the arrangement with versachoi! its probably my favorite arrangement bang chan's ever made.
Thank you for not discrediting chan
I can only watch a reaction this long (1hr+) cuz his reaction is very genuine and it's JUST about the song!!
And not reacting for views
I love you reaction and watching, listening to it I learn a lot
Tony whispering playlist had me screaming 😂😂
so glad you loved the album! it's quickly become my favorite too. not a single skip. i adore the direction they went in with this one. thank you for sticking with stray kids! ☺
Yessss I loved Bounce Back first listen too it's definitely in my top 3 for this album so far. I love the Tablo colab too
This reaction was great! Love this album so much! And to think it’s full of solos, not full of Stray Kids, the group, music, but music tailored to the tastes and preferences of each member. Yet still such a fantastic, no skip, album. Only SKZ. 🔥🔥🔥
Bounce back is han’s song! I knew I had to look forward to it as soon as I heard it was a han song
His songs always shock me!
Im glad you liked it too
chansung song...
Bang Chan is in the credits, in fact he did a lot for the song and it was was mentioned how he was the one who added the whistling STOP DISCREDITING BANG CHAN
Bounce Back credits since you want to be stupid:
Lyrics: Han, BANG CHAN
Composed: Han, BANG CHAN
Arranged: BANG CHAN
Instruments: BANG CHAN
Computer Programming: BANG CHAN
Background vocals: BANG CHAN, Han
Digital Editing: BANG CHAN
@@onlybngchan calm down please they didn't mean to discredit chan, they are just not mentionning him as we KNOW that he is the genius behind all of their songs, they probably didn't mean any harm so don't insult please. I'm sure they just meant that Jisung played a big part in the lyrics and the vibe as he said in the intro video.
@maiaioudesbacsasable and he managed to do that because chan made the beat as you can see in the credits. And not mentioning Chan IS AND FOREVER WILL BE discrediting Chan. It's because of stays like you and op that people assume only han made the song since a lot people don't check the credits. I've corrected people constantly and A LOT of them have been suprised to learn Chan also worked on a song you chan antis call "hanpop" you all cause a lot of harm actually and don't realize it and don't care because it's Chan.
Whether Tony posts another SKZ reaction I like to go back to the start and watch the progression
"Unfair" is all Felix. The other song you're trying to remember is "Deep End," and it was all Felix, too. It really showed his vocal range.
Bounce back is also my favorite SKZ song ever, it really rocketed its way up there. Han wrote it, and he said in their Intro for this album that the original version he wrote is actually even MORE aggressive (I’m assuming lyrically) and they had to tone it down keeping in mind they have young listeners too. What I would give to hear the original full aggression version…
12:20 Also the person rapping in this moment you highlighted is Felix!! He’s also the one who does the intro - “I don’t give a shit, move if you wanna live”. I’m living for his dark gritty vocal tone in this song
for the gazillionth time, I find myself shaking my head in amazement --- how do they do so many different things so f***ing well?!?!
Ahhhh! I have been waiting for this all day!!
Resisted listening until you were ready, i kinda mirrored your reactions. What an awesome album. Cheers Tony
Thank you!
If no one's suggested it yet, but I think you might like Tablo's group Epik High. They're one of the o.g. Korean hip hop groups and are a major influence in the k-pop industry.
Thank you for saying so it is so sad to say but Epik High is unfairly underrated it doesnt make sense honestly
Tony I absolutely KNEW you’d lose your mind over Ultra. Your reaction was so satisfying to watch!
I think Han's songs are a special genre, so I feel that if you want to listen to more Han songs, the one I recommend could be "maybe" or "13" they may be rare but I think that in the background is very good, thanks for one more reaction Tony, stay loves you hahahaha 🫶🏼
Hanpop we stan
I had so much fun listening to this with you today. I listened to the whole album probably about 10 times before your video went up, but I just find myself laughing as you say out loud everything I was thinking all along. And to be honest all of the solo songs are not new to us because they've been playing them at the concerts, but to hear the studio versions with such an immersive experience. And I'm with you on the auto tune, I've never been able to tolerate it but for some reason I don't bat an eye at how Stray Kids uses it. Thank you again for the wonderful entertainment!
I’ve had the album on repeat today to get a good feel for it, loving that I can cap that off with Tony to let me know what I missed ❤
One thing I love is feeling good and for some reason every time I see a reaction from you, regardless of whether you like it or not, I leave happy and watch the video with a smile.
If there’s one person who loves Youth, it’s me. If there’s nobody who loves Youth, I’m dead.!
I grew up in the 80’s so I absolutely LOVE it!!! Plus leeknow is my bias, so there’s that 😉
I'm fine with auto tune if its being used as a vocal effect to achieve a certain ambiance. I have a problem with auto tune when it's needed because someone can't sing.
I'm jealous! You'll see Railway in real life soonn🥲
i always get jealous when the reactors can go to their concerts even tho they just started listening to stray kids but since div1 makes sure skz comes nowhere near me i can't
As soon as I heard this album, I knew you would love it. I love your reactions. You joke that it takes you time to get it, but you are really amazing and insightful at picking up so much from SKZ music. You have pointed out so much in songs that I have heard a million times, and didn't notice.
Bounce Back is one of my favs. Don't get me wrong, loving the others too, but Bounce Back just hit different. That aggressive, dirty, distorted beginning had me hooked hard. ❤🔥
