Is it possible for the video to be fixed? This is my favorite album from them so far and I'm so excited to see how you felt!

OK so yes, this album is just... incredible. <3 I'm still obviously hopping around looking at reactions haha - I have a hard time with ranking songs because I love them all and considering how many different vibes and sounds they gave us that is difficult. I actually put Good, Bad, Ugly as my go to top song when I was first listening and Rainbow Halo was also my kind of least impactful? But Rainbow Halo reallllly grew on me fast, it's hard not to like it because it's just...got such a great groove to it. The sax! Bamboleo's bass line is sooooo killer, so I love it as well and I'm a major sucker for disco/retro/city-pop vibes. Red Velvet's disco tune Ladies Night has been one of my on repeat phases in the past, I just can't help myself. Beg For Me... is so overwhelming. hahahha :D I like as you mentioned how the chorus gives us a lighter kind of less intense kind of a vibe musically, that feels very refreshingly Red Velvet after such a go hard sexy verse moment - the lyrics though WOW haha :D And rapper Wendy on this album!!!! Wendy brings us every possible voice, and that is why she is our queen. <3 In My Dreams and Feel My Rhythm are both in the category of indisputably epic songs that I find it less likely to casually listen to so they don't get as much regular play time but are well loved and admired by me if that makes any sense? I'm not always in the mood to want to cry at In My Dreams, dangit. But I do agree that it is the perfect closer - closing an album on a feeling of longing is just ideal, to me. Like ok let's just start the album over again at the beginning, please. Good, Bad, Ugly just feels like a hug. Beg For Me feels like badass o'clock. Sexy Wendy o'clock. Joy is killing me in this era as well. Rainbow Halo is time to dance and I want an actual Rainbow Halo dance please. Bamboleo is the best sway vibe. So you know. They're all incredible, no skip album unless I am just not feeling the epic moment of Feel My Rhythm and In My Dreams but that is because I am not prepared for that feeling not because of any defect hahaha All the songs are just perfect.

I love 'In My Dreams' my fave on the album I think. I'm just really glad the title track was more out there than 'Queendom'. 'Bamboleo' being the objectively best B side, of course lol.

not surprising LOL. what you said about "Beg for me" viralling on tiktok and all socmed frankly is a no brainer.

Literally 30m after posting this I saw one on Twitter of Haseul from LOONA using "Beg For Me." I nailed it!

This is one of my favourite reactions you have ever made! your comments were hilarious and accurate! Spot on. the alice in wonderland thing - absolutely! but the line that i cannot stop cackling over: "do you know how much this is gonna be used on... tiktok your favourite idol being all horned up? [pause] i applaud them." ROFLMAO!!! 100000% "In My Dreams" is insane. i have nothing to say, it it insane.

For me personally, even though Stayc’s album is a masterpiece, this one tops it. This is a no skip album and like you mentioned, this comeback is more of Red Velvet’s essence. Queendom over time I did not enjoy it so much. It is a very good song, but a bit generic (and that’s okay). Every single song got me teary either by the amazing vocals or lyrics or combination of both. The emotional impact this had on me makes it my favorite so far. I feel it would be really hard for anyone to top this album for me this year. (I know I mentioned before their comeback that Idle’s album was propably going to become my favorite if the year but that was me just being excited and I myself don’t pay attention to what I say pre-comeback 🙃)
