Post "STRAY KIDS 'MAXIDENT' ALBUM REVIEW " by "NigelBaker"

Jimika Shuler

I'm gonna find you at the ATL show based on your gas and eczema 🤭

Heather Allen

I think maybe for “Can’t Stop,” the distortion in the guitar was throwing it off for you. It certainly threw it off for me, but it’s okay.

Mickey Ross

awe okay, i couldnt find it. gonna look again, thank you!

Tayla

He's already listened to that !!

Mickey Ross

what abt “taste”??? :(

Jules Bucciarati

As someone who is aromantic (and just finally came to terms with it) songs like I Like It (I can explain yall..) and Chill are really relatable. Chill still one of my faves to this day

Na’Jae Martin

Nigel needs to watch the full performance of Taste (if you’ve seen it then you know why)

Brittany Multhaupt

Right! I was screaming at my TV saying" That's Hans line!!!!"

Dandelion

Did the best song on the album just get swept under the rug with no lyric video?

Alice

Can't Stop really gave me a picture of a storyline in an anime and I like the melody alot I can ALWAYS vibe with it，but I do get what Nigel you were saying about the accompaniment being I guess not Clean enough？ But if I'm right this was the only song in the album that Chan didn't get a hand on and left it completely up to Seungmin and Innie，so that could be the reason，I'm still proud of the little ones for making this lovely song though！

Makayla Hall

ngl i wasnt paying 100% attention and all I heard was "so they turned him into a pimp"

Em

Can someone pls recommend "Finding SKZ Get edition"? I'm missing maxident era and rewatched it recently. Would love to see Nigel react to it!! https://youtu.be/zt2Aa5QAIlM?si=de9WoXxOAw8JTcKc

Ashia Walker

Bet, TY!

leeknowbias

he has already reacted to it!

Ashia Walker

U think taste a crazy performance by Danceracha.. u should look at Danceracha “wow” performance 🤝🏽.. boys stay slaying

liliflqwer

Can’t stop was such a cute underrated song in the album :(

Estelle S

REAL. Sweet! lol

ColieGuacamole🩷

Watching your reaction to 3racha made me think you'd really like Just Breathe by Sky-Hi ft. 3racha! I hope you check it out!!

Isaac

might as well be with how often skz try to kill me 😭 Ghost Stays unite

Estelle S

you and me both. Ghost Stays? Is that a thing?

Harley

I can’t remember if you’ve actually listened to the full song for Taste as the performance is only a cut version just like the others, but if not you should definitely check it out! It still absolutely blows my mind that it’s FELIX singing that falsetto(?)/high notes at the end!!! And his rap in the song omg!! Love it.

Isaac

a lot of stays did not like Chill when it came out so ur not alone. can't relate tho if Chill has 0 fans it means i'm dead

mandasue

They did perform this at the GCF. You're right!!! It followed the speech from the boys explaining that they were 3racha...the ones responsible for all of Skz music. I think it was in response to all the antis right before the festival calling Skz liars for claiming they were self-produced when all their music was credited to 3racha. Ahem. 👀

CoolCrow

Case 143 is so fun, and Felix mentioned it was one of his favorite MVs to make because of how colorful it was. I forget about Chill sometimes :o I didn't realize it's really frickin good. That instrument you pointed out I think it was a saxophone. So neither a trumpet or trombone. Actually it's not even a brass instrument like the other two are either In Superboard, the "Nyooom" is Chan I believe lol I can't believe nobody talks about "Can't Stop"; I hadn't heard it before either. I think maybe the instruments were fighting the vocals a little bit which makes it hard to fully embrace but otherwise I like the upbeat rock style and it's still pretty fun. Vocalracha is too cute, and I think it was even better live (especially since you can feel I.N.'s smile) Not the standing in your chair during "Taste" hahaha

Emilee Bert

superboard is the kinda song that once you listen to it more it gets better. like its supposed to be catchy and it is

Micka Ajd

You missed Felix shirtless at the beginning of the trailer 😂

Shokojoh Jonh

Maxident is my favorite album because of how personal, diverse and different it is in only some titles. I myself don't know why I love it so much over the other ones. Most of the songs did have to grow on me (case 143, Chill, Super board, and can't stop) now I can't go without them 😭 only exception for can't stop and case 143 that are juste cool to me

Shokojoh Jonh

"Blew my cover" lmao you were never covered my boy

Shokojoh Jonh

Can't stop is really good for people who wants to sing with them. I also think Seungmin and I.N co-produced it so I am not that surprised that the beat is not perfect. I appreciate that this song exist, it's just not one of my favorite

Shokojoh Jonh

I feel the same about super board but I know it was like that on purpose because they were making fun of people like looking at people from above and being like "You can't catch me nananana"

Shokojoh Jonh

Laughing at super boards's "Nyyyyon" is such a stay thing

Shokojoh Jonh

I would not have thought skz going after a girl at this point of their career in the MV cause they were at that time really praised for being gender inclusive so all their fan can relate and feel like they deserve their attention. Regardless of their actual sexuality it's adorable

Shokojoh Jonh

TMI is a slang for when someone speaks about something too personal in a situation where it's not required it became a noun/adjective in current language

Shokojoh Jonh

Chill is actually a grower. Cause I used to really not like that song now I love its melody

Shokojoh Jonh

I know you did not call a saxophone a trumpet Nigel (I actually don't know neither if it's a saxophone or a trumpet)

Shokojoh Jonh

He doesn't but I cannot remember what it is 😭

Shokojoh Jonh

Nigel we know you like Lee Minho lmao

Shokojoh Jonh

Felix call Bbokari fried chicken and eats chicken in front of him

Serena

also Give Me Your TMI has always been my #1 on Maxident, it was my first comeback too after i learned about SKZ when Oddinary came out, its sooo unique and gas

Gabriella

Thank you!!

Gabriella

Oh you're right!! I can't believe I missed that. Thank you!!

Serena

Thank you for the review Nigel!!! also Day 24935735 of asking if you could watch the M/V's before the Lyrics video, switch the order. As thats how most people react to these songs the first time. More impact when u read the lyrics after watching<3 (this is a semi-joke as u can do what you want but i think its a good idea!)

Oneandonlydai

No frl just ate some pasta and ice cream🤣

Danielle M

Guys, does Nigel have a PO Box? I want to send him something that he’d get a kick out of hahahah

Emilee Bert

l laughed when you said give me your tmi mv was going to be a sweet love confession knowing there's a whole shootout

Reyn Walker

Good on you to re-listen before rating. I feel most Stray Kids songs are like that, they grow on you! At first you're like What the heck did I just listen to? But then I swear nanana shyouuummm Superboard becomes your favourite part hahaha! Btw the nyyyeeoonnn was Chan! And while you were focusing on your ice cream bowl, you missed Binnie and Hyunjin's faces coming up on the screen to do something cute with the sound. Or was it because you were focused on the lyrics? Anyway, if it's the ice cream I cannot fault you haha

liaa

REALL

Gimpo Butt Hunter ASSociation Board Member

They SLAYED it at the GCF, i was there lol was so worth being in the rain the whole day and getting sick the following day lmaooo

Itzel ❣️

Everyday we get closer to reacting to collision on the 5-star album….. 😈😈😈

Hethal

every time nigel stops right before the beat drop i genuinely feel like someone punched me in the face jfc 😭

Deja Reyes

Ong, be smashin yogurt, ice cream, cheese (Mac n cheese the fave) , cereal (w/ milk), eggs, etc.

Maria

Yes,guide. Thank you.

C

If you mean guides I'd say Teanosuga or the new 2024 one. Otherwise any funny video like from Dark Feathers or Katya Strom are great.

emily

i dont know if you've seen it yet, but if you liked 3racha, you should react to heyday by 3racha!!

Yaya

Superboard video always leave me in my feels because that video looked like it was soooooo fun to create and the last message they leave on the roof is “HAVE FUN” and that’s exactly what my final thought was of that video. It was so fun

Rhea Rhapsodos

I honestly loved this album, but some of the songs like Case 143 and Can't Stop, I had to listen to a multiple times before they properly grew on me. 3RACHA (especially) and Taste tho are my favorite unit songs tho. I'm absolutely addicted to 3RACHA.

Maria

Hi guys, which introduction video of Stray kids is the best?

Hannah🎸

Judging from the comment section I guess I’m the only one that got supervised in one listen😭 I literally loved every part of it, give me ur tmi not so much but I like it now

Britt Bratt

Same 🙌🏾

Britt Bratt

I was yelling at the screen 😂🤣

Britt Bratt

Yes he did Oddinary. It was fire 🔥

StayBae

HOT take... this is one of their weaker albums. But there are for sure great tracks and awesome live songs on it. Now watching the review, I can't believe Nigel was pausing in the MIDDLE of Chan's "bah bah bahs" on 3RACHA! Lol that's one of the best parts!

StayBae

Yes! It's a very good crowd/hype song live

redvelvetnerd

Yes. Closer and closer to 5star, which is album of the year in my opinion.

Kwestleo

Lol. I doubt anyone really reads my live comments but i always do them. No but imma need someone to send him the clip of the full taste choreo yo react to 🤣

Ashley Lawson

Taste hits mega different I and seungmins happy number 😈😂

Ashley Lawson

Taste hits mega different after I. N. and seungmins happy number 😈😂

_.moogsie_

REAL HIS WHOLE FIT WAS GIVINGGGG

Monica

I truly disliked Superboard when it first came out. When I saw it live during end of year performance and in concert I changed my mind. It just hit different. Hope you go to Lollapalooza to see them. This isn’t my favorite album and hard to place for me because I really like the songs on this album but it doesn’t give me the feelings like Replay, 5 Star and some my other favorites.

_.moogsie_

1 2 3RACHA GET SPOTLIGHT!!!!!!!

_.moogsie_

Super Board is like crack, respectfully. I need it injected in my brain or smth... HANS VERSE OMG PLEASEEE

_.moogsie_

THE BINTRO ON GIVE ME YOUR TMI GETS ME HYPE ASF EVERY TIME!!!! HE ATE THAT UPPPP... (just realised they're talking about how obsessed they are with this Person and how they want to know everything about them and then casually walks into a full arsenal they have tucked away in there closet... wtf HAHAHAHAH)

Jessica

nigel, you should listen to the ot8 version of can’t stop that they recently performed at their fan meeting!!

_.moogsie_

LOCK ME UPPPP

Jo-Anne

this was the album that got me into skz, those tiktoks of maxident fancams got me 😭

desi

i was WORRIED about give me your tmi holy shit 😭😭 im so glad you liked it bc i was ready for you to give the “ehhhhh its okay” speech lmao

gplebbs

i became a stay right before maxident dropped so this album has a special place in my heart. give it time she’s a grower nigel

dabadoo wasbo

Hans arms in Give me your TMI 😻😻😻😻

kelskiiz

I LOVE MAXIDENT WITH MY WHOLE ENTIRE HEART NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HER LIKE I DO 😭😭😭😭 i had a feeling you would love give me your tmi and superboard (chorus excluded), i’m so happy i was right! sonically, this album lights up every single part of my brain and scratches every single itch perfectly. it’s been a year and a half since it was released and i still genuinely cry real tears every time can’t stop comes on; it makes me SO happy, and the way you can hear vocalracha smiling and wanting to have fun with stay makes my heart explode 😭💛 also the way we got an mv/live stage video for every single song PLUS all the fun promotions they did makes maxident my absolute favourite era as well 🙌🏼✨

⛓️🥀👑RicanVirgoQueen👑🥀⛓️

Nigel needs to watch the Unveil version of Taste.... https://youtu.be/E2Mq3N3NuTE?si=3BQFtlOi_hCWE8AF

Heather Jenner

The artwork in the museum in Chill was Hyunjin's :)

Shellsey

Same. Also because there are so many great performances they have that include those songs like the Paris Gala, the AAA Awards and the Golden Disc Awards. And I know he’s probably avoided those performances because he hasn’t heard them. So he needs to hear the album already so he can react to those too!!

Kaitlyn

I literally don't dislike a single stray kids song

Kaitlyn

NA NA NA NA BOO BOO I love super board so much it is not okay

Xiaohan Yu

I’m still waiting for the 5 star album review haha

Shellsey

Nigel, you should watch the fancams for taste. Hyunjin’s fancam for taste will make you feel a different type of way lol

Dominique Brown

It’s a saxophone Nigel 🤦🏾‍♀️

Gabrielle72

No one tell Nigel that he's never seen the entire Taste choreography and it gets so much more rated R lmaooo

Strawbinnii

HOLD UP DID I JUST HEAR KINGDOMS INTRO AT THE END??? FINALLUYYYYYYYYYY

Kelli Emory

I feel like when it comes to Can’t Stop, I immediately put in mind OMG THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT ANIME THEME SONG!!! That’s the vibe it gives off and I can totally picture it!!

Tatfitmom B

I’m glad you finally reacted to MAXIDENT.. love this album. Did you ever do ODDINARY? The trailer and all on that is so fire too. It came before MAXIDENT

Madi

I was abt to say the same thing, so happy at least one person said something👏

Rachel Ross

Can’t Stop OT8!! NIGEL PLEASE WATCH THE FULL TASTE PERFORMANCE!! It was a life changer, it should be around the same length as the song. You’re missing a VERY important part of the choreography, if you know what i mean 🤭

mariha daberkow

I vote for Nigel to watch the fan cams of taste

Shellsey

I honestly cannot wait for you to get to 5-Star. Definitely a no skip album. I’m so excited and impatient lol

Vanessa D

Yeah, it was just a sort of generic statement about him watching a drama and the couple fighting. And he was like, "Why can't they just calm down and talk it out" essentially

Honey Sy

Didn’t hyunjin also write cover me? NIGEL

Britt Bratt

Also Day 7 of asking Nigel to react to ‘A day that Happened to be filmed” with SKZ

Britt Bratt

This album really showed that only Skz can cover SkZ. No other group can get away with saying ‘nyoooom” on a song like that 😂. No other group can have Seungmin stop the video in the middle of the video. This album marked my 1st ever comeback for my Skz journey and it holds a special place in my heart. It is an album that you have to relisten to over. You will find something new each time you hear each song, whether it be the beats or different instruments or the vocals. Love the reaction❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lauren_001

They like Can’t Stop so much they made an OT8 version. 🤣 https://youtu.be/oFpONcthTGE?si=Uk5ax_gGlVmFLvY8

Lia Roslyn

Nigel it would be really cool if you watched the album mash-up videos after the album intro, they're so fkn sick. They don't spoil the songs either, its an entirely different instrumental for the mash-up and a tease of the lyrics basically, but they're super fun.

Lucky

Finally someone gets down with give me your tmi as much as i do 😴🙏

TAMI

he said Seungmin sorry Leeknow is my guy I thought he already agreed on that.

TAMI

yes, his long note it was amazing. I wish he did that in the actual song.

Riiiah

Not them getting the memebers wrong on the ‘superboard’ color coded video.

C

I'm going through something bro like I have been sleeping on maxident. I already thought it was underrated but omg I love this album. Skz just showed so many sides of themselves. Case 143 is so addicting, GMYTMI is so freaking good. I feel like people usually hate it at first and then they realize how good it is. The mv is also one of their best but no one talks about it... Chill is also one of my favs. It's kind of like Collision's older sis who's wiser and a bit disillusioned. Skz is always so good at writing songs like this bc people actually feel these things. 3racha pumps me up every time and Taste is earth shattering. Almost cried when you didnt like Cant stop. It's such a fan fav and I think of it like an anthem. I promise it's so good live and the ot8 version goes hard. I.N ofc makes you want to love it, he looks so happy whenever he performs it. Overall I love Maxident bc of its uniqueness.

✮ℕ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕆𝕨𝕝✮

I knew you weren't going to like this one as much

Emily Kline

haha, I don't want to make you feel like an idiot but the instrument in Chill is 100% a saxophone. Although to give you credit both trumpet and trombone are also both very common jazz instruments.

🦔

Oh I can’t wait for your reaction to 5 Star it’s my fav SKZ album that album is crazy from the start to the end

C

This is amazing lmao. I hope Nigel reads it all. Also I agree we need a taste full choreo reaction. Because I was shooketh to say the least. Nigel thinks its insane now...

Vanessa D

Han and Lee Know in Give Me Your TMI...WOW! Talk about a double kill

Akira Flamez

JEEZ HAN BREATHE😭🔥

ranchsanch

i’m a lil confused as to why you’re not feeling the album overall rn bc all i heard from you was that every song is a banger except can’t stop and the chorus of super board 😭 my bad if i misunderstood :) but i always enjoy your reactions regardless !! i think you gotta rewatch 3racha @ the global citizens festival now that you know the song though 🫡

TAMI

I love Seungmin's voice almost addicted ahaha I hear Seungmin's solo songs, covers everyday except Can't stop. Can't stop is so bubbly and cute song for me. Most Skz listeners likes all type of songs except bubbly and cute songs from what I see. It's fun song to perform. I think twice fans would love to listen this song. In my opinion, all members of skz have so strong presence that they don't fit cute and bubbly song.

hannah owens

I really wanted you to like Can't Stop it is one of my favorites! I feel like Seungmin really enjoyed it because it has a Day6 feel which is his favorite group (Day6 is also one of my favorites I think that's why I liked it so much)

Lauren_001

So Han usually does a live to explain what songs are about and it’s generally related to like a TV show or an anime but…. We never got an explanation for Chill because he said he has no idea why he wrote it or what inspired it specifically. He’s usually pretty straightforward so I’m going to say whatever snippet of media inspired this was less impactful long term than it was when he wrote it. But yeah likely not a real life scenario. He also implied in the intro it wasn’t about him. 😂

Shellsey

Yeah he did. It was on the stream where he watched I’ll be your man.

Sarah

They recently did an ot8 performance of can’t stop at their fan meeting! it’s was really cute and fun!!

surem

you getting flustered after danceracha performance 😭 i’m dead

Reyna

No wayyyy Nigel😩 can’t stop is my favorite song on the album this hurt😭

mayween

damn nigel i really wanted you to like Can’t Stop🙁🙁💔

Lauren_001

Yep the intro was filmed in NYC right before the start of their Maniac tour in the U.S.!

Kaylee

Oh I'm so disappointed about Can't Stop for you Nigel I thought you were gonna love it because it's so silly and upbeat :(( however, there is now an ot8 version of the song! They performed it at the fanmeet!

Strawbinnii

Oh 5star is just one of those albums honestly

JasiriRaid

He should start reacting to the behind the scenes of the MVs!!!

Coco

I’m pretty sure he did on a twitch stream! He watched the same performance too but it was a while back! He posted the livestream on patreon so you can see it on here if you like!

Mal

This the first time i ever heard someone call chris christy XD

Kaylee

sidenote about 3racha! They said "keep constructing" as a dig to all the haters that just try to call them "construction music"

Jadaaa12

You haven’t heard the full version of taste yet that wasn’t the full song

Sienna Wideman

I have been waiting for so long!!! So happy 😁

Gabriella

Wait I dont think you listened to the FULL song of Taste. The live version isn't the full version

caaalli

You 100% should react to the ALBUM MASH-UP video after the intros/trailers!! THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST PARTS

Shyshy

Just finished the album intro 💕💕 so excited!!

Makayla Hall

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO FCKIN LONG

N day

💜Hi Nigel and Dozens💙 Was sleeping due to shoulder pain that’s why I’m late👍🏽

Alaisa Mapa

Case 143 has references of The Shining to tie into their storyline!! Loveeeee skz videos!!

Angel Gray

i wish nigel heard the can’t stop unveil so he could hear seungmin’s crazy vocals 😭💔 still so glad this was uploaded!!

jimins right earing

also eating ice cream 👆🏼😗

Millie b

Skz said that they started to find superboard annoying 😭😭 like it sounded annoying yet stuck in their heads so it was even more annoying 😭

Roq West

This was great and i don’t want to be a hater but are we going to finish kingdom? 😂

Millie b

I deffo recommend checking out the making of the mvs!!!! They’re so fun

Shauni Livingstone

I will never get over the live performance of taste with lee know in the red shirt, an extra spicy move added in the full performance

ℓєιԃувυց (ℓєι)

From a band kid , that was respectfully either an alto or berry saxophone. 😀

Coco

yesss omg 🙌

Kaylee

HELL YEAH (x2)

Ariana Orlando

you need to react to the 5-star dome tour solos by skz they were soooo good

AzzyAzz

Chan did the nyeroo adlib

Millie b

Fun fact some of the paintings at the chill mv were made by hyunjin :DD

AzzyAzz

1st time I listened to chill it was ok but then I listened again and loved it

Liyah

I just finished the intro vid… I’m here and I’m sat 🤭🤭

Rosi

Hhahaha NIGEL 10:17 we know Lee Know is your bias there’s no denying it at this point

Dana

Im sitting here watching Nigel take these big ass bites of icecream

Akira Flamez

I NEEDED THIS REVIEW🔥

Strawbinnii

I was gonna wash my hair mask off but I guess not I’m gonna watch this rn 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Strawbinnii

OMFGGG YEE

starrylanii (Leilani)

STOP.

bea

just sat down at my computer PERFECT TIMING

Kwestleo

Wait what? I didn't realize the MVs weren't in the intro vid 🤣 I'm so slow. Hyunjin is strong as shit. Hyunjin has been yoked ever since he started dorming with gymracha. Not you shadowboxinh the cold 🤣😹. Nigel, you aint have to call me out like that. Of course I would love to be arrested by bang Chan. Or any of them for that matter. Use them handcuffs on me. Please. It's okay Nigel. We want him to come through the screen as well. Chill is so nice. Like its very blunt but its so pretty. They are definitely the artwork. They are masterpieces. I don't think he really carved anything, it's just ice. Nigel, when I tell you I was trying to figure that out too when I first saw the title of the song. I was very intrigued to see your reaction to give me your TMI. Because the instrumental is very not normal. And I know how you are with the beat drops of songs. Oh that's funny! I could definitely see that too. The old R&B stalking the girl. But you are in for surprise my guy. So Nigel have you ever seen the movie The Kingsman? I'm so happy that you read the comments so you could get the reference. Bro, Super bowl is a holy Grail for us. Minute marker 2:37 just does things to me 😫. I'm very interested to see what you think of superboard. That's funny. I always wondered who was making the sound effect as well. I hear changbin. But it could also be hyunjin. The NYOOM is iconic. 😹🤣. It's funny bcuz Felix said this is the most annoying to perform for him. That's fair. Thats completely fair. I love I.Ns white and black hair in this music video. I love when you call bang Chan Christopher. Because it very much sounds like the delulu fans when we scold him or when we're upset because he did something really hot. Oh wow! When you made the beat I knew what song you're talking about but I also can't think of the name of it. The scene right before the bridge breakdown was so pop rock punk to me. It definitely does look very badass. Yes Nigel, this is the song that they performed at GCF. That's funny you said you're eating too fast but all I'm seeing is that the boys ate. They ate and left no crumbs. 3Racha is THAT BITCH. They are talking they shit on that song and rightfully so. When I first listened to this song and saw that it was Seungmin an I.N, I had not watched the intros so I expected a ballad. I did not expect this. And when I first heard it I very much got anime intros. You act like you don't want to see the video to taste as well. Exactly. Don't feel bad my dude. You don't like the instrumental. Hold up that Kingdom music reminded me we still haven't watched the last episode of Kingdom when we going to get to that. Nigel? Nigel, you didn't blow your cover, we've been knew. You act like we ain't know. You ain't slick. Nigel if you don't sit your ass down! You going to give me a damn heart attack doing that. Now I know you've seen this performance a bunch of times, a lot of us have. But have you seen the original choreography where they do the second verse as well? It's a fan cam so it's definitely not in 4K HD. But it's great. I think it's worth it to see. NAH NIGEL! i want your initial rating. I was guessing you would give it 5.6 or 6.1. I appreciate you Negrito 😹
