Katie: Build---three--- two--- one Jarod: cre-scen-do
Umu: next is super junior Both: yes Umu: okay
Charlotte: YAAAAAS
Umu: All right, so today we are starting off with a boy group called Super Junior
We've actually reacted to them once last year. We reacted to Mamacita, the one with the watermelon
this is their
2017 comeback after a huge hiatus where all of them went to the military to serve for two years and then this isn't actually the
whole group only seven members were able to
Come back after the hiatus and six members were able to promote cause the seventh is injured
They're missing two out of the three main vocalist
So a lot of fans see this as a song to showcase, you know
Like the vocals of people who don't normally get a lot of vocal lines Isaac: I think I need more black suits Kevin: I'm excited for 2017 Super Junior
Kevin: This is not part of the actual song, oh it is? Noooooo :OOO
Elizabeth: oh
Henry: they don't really waste any time with the with the intro there Elizabeth: they really did not
Davis: aww they're so cute
Lindsey: the moneys? Davis: no the musicians
Lindsey: oh yeah
oooh they're harmonies are like killin' it
Henry: WOAH a 9 chord Kevin: that's a James Bond chord, they literally use the James Bond chord in this song
Henry: *gasp* No
a vi 9 chord (sixth chord with 9 in it)
Davis: Oh, yeah
Lindsey: that's how I feel about the harmonies Davis: this is very involved ohmygoodness- oh wait--- okay
Katie: Build---three--- two--- one Jarod: crescendo
Isaac: aw this is good, yesssss
Lindsey: whoo, here we are, we're groovin', we got them trumpets Davis: heyyyy, yeah, we got yeah, was not expecting those brass instruments (L: no)
Davis: to come in there Lindsey: not at all
Charlotte: I like how they play a lot with going up just like chromatic tones really playing with those Peyton: yeah
both: [sing along bassline]
Charlotte: it just steps down and does the same pattern, it's so nice
Lindsey: this like just sounds like classic KPop to me like in a good way Davis: yeah it has like that little
Davis: like little spicy--- yeah lindsey: oh yeah like the little Latin feel a little bit?
James: ohhhh I like The quarter note, it's a kick drum
but it really- doens't have any reverb. It's just on the attack. Hugo: Yeah
Jarod: these guys are like the Justin Timberlake's of kpop
Cuz they got that sexy voice and they got that sexy choreography like
Kevin: you got doing the 9, no, doing that 7
it's the add 7 which means a major 7th in a minor song and that makes it really sexy
Elizabeth: i don't think it's real brass Henry: I don't think it is too...
Elizabeth: it's disappointing Henry: get people jobs!!
Henry: It's a good song though, I dig it so far.
Peyton: Wow, this is like a totally different thing C: yeah
Davis: the heist--- man this is like, this is like a movie man
Lindsey: yeah, I'm enjoying it
Lindsey: they're also kinda hot so...
Charlotte: it's like chromatic tone just when you're like not expecting it to go there and it just does and you're like oh, that was nice
Charlotte: it's tasty Peyton: mm, delicious
Davis: yeah
Lindsey: they like almost did the aju nice thing where it like
Skips a beat but instead it like kinda came in and then fully came in
Henry: I really feel like there's like a supreme balance between
vocals and extra like musical parts, you know
The thing is that they do is that all the instrumentals that they have to pare against them are typically really annoying
But because they have switched the balance
I feel like they did the music
Part pretty well
Charlotte: ohhh i thought we were gonna be done
They're like just kidding, coda!
Ohhh charlotte likes this one
Umu: Yeah, what do you think of this song overally musically Charlotte: nice jam I like the bassline particularly like
it had a particular pattern and I think it was like four measures and then they just moved it down a step I think and
then it was in another four measures of the same pattern just down a whole step
I also liked all the chromatic like random just little color notes they were just think, have some of that have some of this, sprinkle some fairy dust on that note
its tasty
Umu: you guys were awfully quiet Hugo: d*mn, I dig that sh*t man
James: it was good Hugo: it was- it was it was real good. it was well made
Hugo: it was really well made
James: yeah although I still don't understand the power that this black suit has.
made everything explode and people go insane
James: Can someone please explain
Hugo: I thought the music was awesome though, voices sound great. James: Oh also that one guy belting right on the top
Hugo: was like a [demonstrates] way up there
It was hella dope Umu: you guys talked about in the middle of your reaction. How you
thought that the video and the music might have been totally separate so you could enjoy or maybe because they were like that you
couldn't enjoy both equally, do you mind expanding upon that? Elizabeth: I really appreciate when the editing to the music is very tight and the
Images complement the different sections of the music the harmony of the music when something changes
It's important to have something in the video change as well
You can say a lot by putting images with a certain sound or a chord or a certain
motive you can you can say a lot and you can give a narrative by doing that but because a lot of the sections of
the video where they had one of the characters doing something specific or they have like the slo-mo at the beginning where everything is
Going back to the way it started, the chorus came in before they finished the slow-mo backwards
reverse images so it didn't quite feel like it made sense what they were trying to say how the
Music was supposed to compliment the video or how the video was supposed to compliment the music because they didn't line up thematically
Which was my issue with it. I mean it was it was a jam. I was digging the brass at the end
That was that was what I was saying and that may just be me watching too much Wes Anderson Henry: musically, though
I thought it was really interesting. It was a little bit less vocal heavy. I definitely noticed that a lot of the
harmony, and the supporting material came from instrumentals as opposed to like 8,000 tracks of vocals, which is cool sometimes so
Yeah, I really liked it. Isaac: I really liked the contrast between the really upbeat parts to the slower parts
And there's just so many things that attribute to like the instrumentation like the trumpets. They're just so nicely blended and.. i think they're synthetic right?
Maybe it's recorded. But then it was just--- Kevin: it has a lot of reverb in it. Like it's very fluffy
Surprised but it works. I like it. Isaac: Well regardless if those synths were real, the trumpets and the voice they just mixed so well
so like that just that added effect of the forward punch and it really it's really
Really good contrast to all the mellow... like their voices can be so mellow sometimes and it's like really good
Kevin: the bridge was too long and the way the
Chorus was introduced after that
it felt rushed it didn't it didn't feel like we were
anticipating it and that first whatever the first percussion was of that last course the very first beat there's something very
Underwhelming about it and I feel like they were trying to do like a delay thing like a boom
But it doesn't didn't work because it wasn't set up right. Lindsey: It was so good
It was like perfect everything about it was so good
It matched the video so well
and it was all just like very high-energy and
Head that like Latin jazz kind of feel but very subtly
So it was a very upbeat pop song but then it had subtle hints of jazz, Davis: you know
How like whenever...
You kind of like guess at something and then you like you're like this is gonna go like this and then you're right
but then like something else happens too and they're like
Oh, I didn't know that that was gonna happen too, that happened while I was watching this video LIndsey: me so many times
Davis: I was like, okay
Like I know that this is about to happen in the music and it's gonna like sound like this but then like they would do
Something like with the brass instruments. I didn't like know they were gonna do that
but I knew every other component except that. so having that little Lindsey: element if surprise
davis: curveball
Definitely did it for me musically. Umu: So this is the b-side song that came out on the same exact album as black suit
So this is a fan-made lyric video and the same seven members. So this is runaway and was composed by the company monotree
they actually composed several of the songs that we've already reacted to
And a song writer named 적재
Isaac: play Kevin: Run away with me babyy oh
Davis: oh-- boom Lindsey: that just came right in
Davis: this is korean rascal flats dude
Lindsey: Yeah this is the Davis: life is a highway
Lindsey: omg
yeah
ohhh davis: this is good, that like screaming trumpet
again with the brass instruments. I'm a fan. L: yeah
Kevin: That tickled me that little flat seven chord tickled me Davis: there's like a surprising amount of acoustic instruments in this
Lindsey: Yeah, like the guitar. Yeah, you can hear like the strums of the guitar I love when you can hear that like
Peyton: b7 to I
Ohhh
ohhh
Oh
lindsey: were they like the he's killin' davis: that bass players diggin' right now
Kevin: that flat vii chord is well played
Oh my god, you're kidding me, you're kidding me--- [sings] I see you travelling down town
This is Cee Lo Green chord progression, that's why it sound so sunny
Davis: oh and then surprise rap verse Lindsey: your surprise triplelet rap verse
Jarod: yeah ladies and gents music is broken up into two or three
this is metrically in two but what made that sick is they took that three and just f*ckin smashed on top. and you're like sickkkkk
charlotte: it's got like early Michael Jackson vibes Peyton: yeah, honestly
Charlotte: like almost Jackson 5 early Peyton: this is like probably just a little fast but like you could probably do like electric slide to this dance
Henry The heavy use of brass
and also I just think that like the harmonic little evasions that they do every now and then those little
chromatic things that they do it's cool, I think it's cool
Elizabeth:o their talking about a butterfly so it's softer and we got like the little shaker going on
Henry: so just that, the little Elizabeth: exactly
Kevin: [sings along]
Okay, okay
Kevin: aww of course. yeah, it settles on the dominant of the minor then it goes straight back to major
Charlotte: just letting the vocals sit on top of everything. It's really nice
Henry: See the horn writing is pretty interesting actually
Hugo: I love that bass , oh mmm
Peyton: You know one thing that would make this perfect it's a really big black women just like
[sings]
Lindsey: that was high! Davis: yeah those were definitely real instruments. I like them.
at first I was like, oh that's a really good simulated trumpet
and then I was like No, that sounds like a real person like playing those notes
Umu: Yeah, so overall thoughts on this one musically Davis: I was I was pretty amazed by all of it
Lindsey: Yeah, it was like just like sensory load
I don't want to say overload cause that makes it sound like it was too much but I don't think it was so I think it was
sensory perfect load. Davis: Yeah, I appreciate everything just the just the music with that not the music video
Lindsey: Yeah, I love that bass. Like it was like you could tell the bass player was so into it. He's grooving and the
Like acoustic sound on the guitar. it was just so good. That was so good
Hugo: It was interesting because a lot of the song is spent with just like hits and the vocal line It's the only like
real sustaining line, gives you a lot of [sings]
And then like added the bass in a little bit and then
You had two bridges which was dope and you're right the cong the congos were in there
Yeah, they were there. They were congon James: really upbeat really major-y the big summertime. Hugo: Yeah, maybe summertime hit
Katie: um, it was really fun to listen to its
Had it was very jazzy
had influences of CeeLo green and Bruno Mars that we heard Jarod: yeah some the use of acoustic instruments
you know makes us feel really good whenever we hear like actually just being used and stuff because you know
It means that we're gonna be employed. , you know, it's a good feeling suhhh
Isaac: Wow, thank you CeeLo green. Kevin: It was a fun song. It just sounded too much
Like, you know too much sound like too much CeeLo Green Isaac: cee lo greennnn
Kevin: All the chords are like the same but that when he goes [sings]
that's what Cee Lo Green does in his song Isaac: I thought it was interesting the
transitions between the sections of the songs because there was like at the beginning they would just do the hit you with the one time two
time, and then three times and then they would do it again and then later
Kevin: Yeah the opening was pretty good thinking back on it. Isaac: It catches your attention
Isaac: Cause it's just very simple 1 2 3 1 2 3 and then the whole Union of the instruments, they slowly come together
And then later, it's like there's this is one part. I forgot either it's in the bridge going into chorus
you you you rise up, but then it just goes into a clap a simple clap reminds me of I don't know like musicals
or even just like Kevin: yeah
Kevin: so like musicals or like gospel the part where they start the rap
for like two measures and then they just end it they just go no
We're gonna sing through it and the counts gonna play an arpeggio
Like what was the point of that?? like
Musically, that was just not, it didn't do anything like an entire rap section over this song
What would have would have separated it from Umu: so what do you think of the two super junior songs?
Could you maybe tell why runway was a b-side song or did you feel like it fit with the same mood maybe?
Elizabeth: oh no i can tell why that was a b-side song it was not nearly as interesting as the first one
the first explored so many different textures and styles and this one just felt like they kept repeating the verse
Henry: See and that makes me feel like for that reason
It makes me feel like the first one you listen to should have been a b-side cause like honestly like
Most popular song, and this would just be an American thing and something that I notice with American pop groups
all the time is that the less interesting song is always the a side because it appeals to the lowest common denominator and
So people who are like really listening for groups sound and not listening for a groups single
Typically are the ones who are more interested in the b-side
There's so much more to a group than their a- side singles
And so this felt to me really poppy and thin
And lightweight and aerodynamic and could have just been by any group by anyone at any time
And it would have completely passed the you know, big machines pop song a-side perfect, you know
And the other one seemed a little bit more ambitious and I to me that made it feel like it should that
Like it would not have gotten the spotlight as much although I'm glad that they gave that the spotlight
Charlotte: they're totally different vibes liek
One's like poppy whoo summer and the other one is like get down yas work yas
Hugo: I like the title track a bit more, but it was more of a sense of style than it was like of
Objectively good or not. Good between the two like I thought they were both good songs. James: They just contrast each other Hugo: exactly
