it’s time to talk about exo’s music cuz they have one of the best discographies in kpop

— a thread

• we gotta talk about exo’s bridges!!! they don’t alw follow the typical structure: some examples would be the extended climax in ‘gravity’, the a capella bridge in ‘tempo’, how the bridge in ‘forever’ misses out on the beat drop, AND the bridge in promise always tears me up https://twitter.com/eternallyixing/status/1058732221551468545

• superior b-sides notable ones even many non exo-ls heard of would be ‘the eve’, and ‘el dorado’

• solo tracks/ albums!! the quality omg- baekhyun’s ‘UN Village' is a chill, R&B melody that showcases EXO's main vocalist's refreshingly smooth voice at its best

suho’s self portrait with 6 rock- oriented tracks, lyrics all composed by himself (it’s basically a no-skip album) and chen’s soothing, beautiful ballads

IU praised D.O.'s song ‘that’s okay’ saying, " This song reminded me of my trainee days. I cry & sleep to this song.

• live albums!! not only do the live albums showcase their vocal abilities, it also consists of remixes (e.g. the eve- live!!) and here’s the flawless live acoustic medley in exo’rdium!

i’m gonna add to this thread lol we still gotta talk about the winter albums, sub units n more but i’m *listening to exo’s ballads going to sleep hehehe

• each album has its own unique colour/ musical style: ranging from pop, acoustics, ballads, latin pop, acid house to hip hop, r&b, edm and more
