This album *blew my mind* - I first listened to it while driving and literally almost caused a traffic accident because I was bopping so hard!

You are right to say Key is your favorite solo SM artist, because he's my SHINee bias and god, he is so slept on. This album was SO GOOD. I played it to death. I'm really glad you took the time to listen to it. Key had made one of THE best pop albums in general, aside from kpop.

lol Key is the English speaker of Shinee.

Timestamp: 1:08 show me 6:09 good good 9:24 honest 13:18 imagine 17:43 chemicals 22:14 I will fight 27:26 easy to love 30:53 duty of love 34:30 this life 42:05 cold

Honestly, it's impossible to not be biaswreaked constantly by SHINee members. They keep pulling out all the stops and you just kinda sit there kinda confused about everything tbh.

Key is a really versatile singer, depending on the type and genre of songs he’s singing, but ofc I have fave genres for his voice. Adding that he’s also like SHINee’s triple threat, dance and rap.. scary!! Scary good!

PD: Taemin has been wrecking my ass-- Me: PD: PD: That sounds wrong Me: PD: Taemin has been wrecking my SOUL PD: *smirk* Me: *smirk*

Love it! I feel like you would really like Jonghyun's more upbeat songs! He is known and loved for his ballads but the She Is album is just a very fun, upbeat, cheeky ride!

And key just posted on Instagram too. Perfect timing

You were right. "Cold" was added to the repackage. "This Life" was the original last track

Idk if someone has mentioned this to you, but Key mentioned that he specially arrange all the songs in his album somewhat like a story. So you can feel there are like a continuation/flows from each song. Fun fact: key use this life as ending song in his concert and he put all the memories he has. So your interpretation of the song is close to they way key see it. Thank you for reacting to Key. I am happy that more people can see the colors of each member of SHINee. SHINee has a lot of good bside songs. Try to give it a try of SHINee’s latest albums..maybe you’ll find something to your likings 😊

SAME about being album of the year for me too. It’s so good!

PD: WOW A RAP FEATURE THAT RAPS MORE THAN ONCE *proceeds to knock down everything on their desk*

Let's be honest. This album is one of the best album that SM ever released since its creation

The thing is when it comes to sm, their b-sides are GOLD. Thid include all their artis. If anything, listen to the b-sides and you will never regret it. Also, SHINee's b-sides are amazing. I hope you will try to listen to it pd-nim.

please do more listening parties for shinee! they have fantastic albums and i feel like if you gave them a try you would find some songs you really enjoy! :,)

I feel like SHINee's titles (even their solo stuff like Gulity Pleasure and Forever Yours first come to mind) can be hit or miss but their bsides for the most part knock it out of the park. I really hope you do a diving deeper with Shinee one day because there are some GEMS there. If not I'm satisfied with this. Key's album is amazing and I really hope people appreciate it more.

All of the song in this album is easy listening, and Key is one of my favourite SM artist. He's almighty and all arounder.. thank's for react to this masterpiece album..😊

I’m not sure how you feel about 90s ish rnb but if you like it and want to get more into SHINee I recommend listening to their first two albums

Yeah, idk why Cold became the last track in the repackage because This Life was originally the last song (and it was Key who wanted it that way. He also closed his concerts with the song, with pictures of himself through his childhood, growing up and with SHINee, being showed on the big screens while he sang, which fits perfectly with the way you described the song). He's also got a japanese mini album out, if you want to listen to that (and a song with Years & Years, idk if you've heard it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8eRq7hq0JjJZJc.html) And if you want to watch some of his performances I highly recommend Good Good (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9Nyh8KLktHeYWg.html), Imagine (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aN5gl8uX2NnMhXU.html) and Honest (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9pgeZd5urSpnIk.html).

I strongly recommend you to take a look at all of Shinee's (both group and solo!) B-sides. As a long-time SM stan, I guarantee you that SM has a habit of making their B-sides a lot more interesting than their titles and that is very much the case with Shinee as it is with other SM groups. Since I'm hella excited, here's a break down of their discography: Early shinee (2008-10) consists of lots of R&B and ballads as well as the weird electronic rap typa shit that was popular in kpop at the time lmao. Def recommend their earlier albums if you're into R&B. 2012-13: shinee becomes a lot more experimental and lives up to their "contemporary" brand. They try out more pop music in areas of funk and rock. 2015: mix of new and old sounds. I often recommend Odd/Married to the Music to new fans bc of this mix. Songs from this album are also easy to differentiate due to the various blends of music genres. During this time, shinee helps to popularize house and funk in the kpop scene. they play around with hip-hop and other experimental electronica. 2016-18: plz check out 1of1 the album is a damn masterpiece no words needed as well as The Story of Light. Both are incredible contemporary albums that I highly recommend As for their solos, to briefly sum it up: Taemin = gradually gets hornier with every release 10/10 i recommend all of his solo albums Jonghyun = nighttime horniness as well as the care and comfort we all need during our lonesome late hours. his music's honestly not for everyone but i highly recommend Poet|Artist Key = ya already what's good but basically electronic dance pop but better Onew = ballads. not for everyone tbvh Minho = stream I'm Home after a tired day of work and toil. Yet to unleash his full potential. Probably would be horny on the main tho. so sorry for the long post, but Shinee are five of the most versatile artists i've ever seen as a group and as individuals and their title tracks are barely even scratching the surface (don't get me started on their Japanese discography). My music tastes have expanded immensely ever since I started stanning shinee and shinee only continue impress. Definitely give them another chance; I'm absolutely sure there's going to be something you like ;)

As amazing as this album is, it only scratches the surface of what Key is capable of. I saw an interview with Key talking about his album and how this album was for easy listening for people to enjoy and that he enjoyed making it. He said that Taemin's advice to him was to make the music he really wants to make as an artist and he would never regret it. And Key said that yes...he would do that ...but not yet. So as good as this album is, it's still not Key's ultimate vision for his music. I expect we will have more solo music from Key in the future that will really be a reflection of Key as an artist. I think Key's talent is immense ...like a sleeping giant ...and I look forward to when it completely wakes up.

PD: Is Key my favorite solo SM artist? Me: HELL YEEAAHHHHH Thank you so so much for this! Key is my 1st kpop bias since 2009 and i feel like he's underrated and many people didn't discover how precious Key is 😭 I'm so so sooo happy u like his album, i'm not trying to be biased but Key's album really suit my taste the most among other SHINee solo albums, 2nd is Jonghyun's album ❤ I honestly just dislike 1/2 songs in this album, dislike is not a perfect words but yea only 1/2 songs that not my taste And i recommend you to listen to 1of1 album and all the story of light series IT'S A MASTERPIECE I TELL YOU, U WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED

If you aren't that into SHINee songs, does that mean you haven't heared any of their B side tracks? Because if you haven't I really pity you. SHINee has the best albums.

When Key performed This life they actually played a montage with his childhood photos and early SHINee photos.

SM has very strong b-sides and I highkey think that every song from this album could also be the title track! KEY has become my 2nd favorite SM solo artist right after king Taemin! ❤️

Thank you for this listening party! I wanna add some informations. Key actually co-wrote I Will Fight, Easy to Love and wrote The Duty of Love, This Life. You're right in FACE This Life is the final track and it's the last song of his The Agit (concert). When you said This Life could be a good tribute song for Jonghyun I think you're on something there. The album was released almost one year after he left us and I think it's in Key's personality to want to empathise and cheer us up but not forgetting the cruel reality of life. He already did that through his solo stages or when he shared us his story of being a chicken among swans. If you keep an eye on him I want to add he's a great dancer too and an amazing performer because he has that charisma like he was born to be on stage. At my first listen I was not fully liking this album because I felt he could do "more", like it has his flavour but not fully? I don't know how to explain it but knowing what SHINee, and he on his own, were capable of my expectations are always so high. But Good Good was and still is my favorite, exactly what I wanted from him. I really loved Imagine and This Life, the others grew on me over time. What surprised me was he didn't rap but had many feats instead. I think this album is kinda a test and maybe the next will be more experimenting. Experimenting (with genres for example) is what I love in SHINee, and you can't really appreciate that with only their title. The hidden gems are in the B-sides so maybe a dive in deeper in SHINee could be a good idea.

Out of all the kpop groups I like, I can easily admit Kibum is my favorite artist, and this album easily takes the #1 spot in my life. It’s truly a masterpiece and I cannot believe how long we had to wait to finally get it, but it was totally worth it. Thank you for reacting,

key loves old british pop/rock bands, he's obsessed with eighties pop and european electronic music. and it shows in the songs he choose and complied in his album

I can relate a lot to what you said by SM sounding a bit too westernized. But SHINee really took my heart because they are diverse, creative, and just unique. Sure, their title tracks are that typical SM sound, I mean i really sing to them alot because they are catchy. But their B-sides are really gold. I think individually their creative sides are more shown in their solo albums because they have more creative power and control over the tracks. Hope you can do a listen to a SHINee album as well (misconceptions of me/you/us is good, and Odd as well, and the story of light epilogue too!) but if you won't I'm content with repeating this video over and over again. 😁

You really should give the story of light and 1 of 1 a listen too, I think you'd enjoy them!!

This Life is really one of those beautiful bittersweet songs. I'm sure Jonghyun would have loved it.

With just 3 songs he went from 'im willing to give this album a chance' to 'is Key my favourite solo SM artist ?' *and that's on kibum's talent*

I looooved this album, so glad you reacted to it.

I really hope he does a listening party for one of Jonghyun's albums in the future

You can’t let yourself be jaded by their title tracks. Shinee’s b-sides are phenomenal and are worth a listen. Just because you can’t vibe with their title tracks doesn’t mean who should dismiss their other songs. They aren’t called one of Korea’s most versatile boy groups for no reason.

key's album is criminally underrated. i know he made it specifically for shawols but i really wish it would've gotten more attention.

I don't know if you'll read this!! But SHINee mainly work with Korean, English & Swedish artists...that doesn't mean the American artists are less or sth they are talented too but you just judged SHINee's whole discography based on one or 2 songs & the main stream of SM which isn't justice :( Anyway I'm glad that you liked Key's album Also if you ever gonna listen to Onew's solo just a hint most of the songs are composed by the same artist so there is similarities also Shine On You is for Jjong ^^ Anyway Minho also has a station so we have FIVE solos ♡♡

i literally laughed so much when This Life was playing... i was sure that he would like the song but god dammit his expression 35:17- 35:38 is like i cant deal with it.... he raise his eyebrow waiting for the drop and then that awww and also i can't find a reason why he don't like 'one of those nights'....i m addicted to the bridge of that song..

This video just made me want to go back and listen to this album again. Such a quality album!

Cold was from an SM Station so I think it really was just a bonus song.

Wooow. Finally a reaction to SHINee~~ when I saw the notification I couldn't believe it! Maybe you would like more songs from them~~ please do another listening to SHINee next time~~~

What I noticed is that when SM gives their group members a solo album opportunity their albums are very organic in a way. All of them have very individual feeling that makes me believe that I listen to those singers music that was produced taking into consideration their own style. Also, all of them are very well made and nothing is forced even though they produced quite a lot of solo albums recently. Can't wait for Baekhyun's album.

yeah cold is an sm station song that they just added to the repack, this life was the original ending song!

I keep coming back to this reaction. I hope for future listening party with Key's Bad Love album too!

20:55 PD U OKAY AHAHAHA i love that you're enjoying Key's album so much! hope you react to Key's Bad Love toooo ~

shinee easily have one of the best discographies in kpop, i hope you delve deeper into their discography in the future !!

Yeah I agree that "This life" is the best album finisher. "Cold" is not in the album, it's a bonus track for the repackage

I had the biggest smile on my face watching you react to Key 😭🙌🏻💜💎

This upload made me so happy omg, this was my favorite listening party and I was wishing you would upload and now is here!

It is SO NICE to see you listening my favorite artist on k-pop. SHINee is my favorite group and Key have so much talent, I really love this album.Key's voice in each song sound so different, beautiful, amazing... Sorry for my english, i'm brazilian.

Woo... this was intense. From PD going into turkey mode over PD wrecking their equipment to an excursion about treasuring 'la tristesse', memories, positivity, basically everything in between, and life in general this was one hell of a a ride. Thank you so much for a more than adequate reaction to my, for several personal reasons, album of the year 🤗 Probably needless to mention: my favourite B-side is the whole album.

This album is the perfect album. I can never listen to a whole album without skipping and I didn’t skip once with this one. I love how versatile Key’s voice is, he made me feel a thousand and more emotions with every song. My fav has to be this life but also show me, mmm okay and I will fight. Ugh it’s too hard to pick!! That’s how you know how good an album is lol

PD you did react to Good Evening, I remember being so happy to see it in your videos.

Tbh, I was waiting for those songs that always break the streak of great songs in the album but it Key never delivered it so I found this album perfect to keep on repeat for long road trips 👌

this album is hands down my favorite solo artist album, and one of my favorite kpop albums in general. it's so beyond amazing. i've always loved his voice and i love that he really got to let it shine here

You should hear SHINee’s b-sides they're very versatile you won't be disappointed. also you should check out Jonghyun's poet artist

Key songs are so versatile well we are talking about the most versatile Idol in the industry. The Guy is a vocalist, rapper, lyricist, actor , fashion designer, model.

This really is a stellar album that flew under the radar so I’m happy to see you reviewing this! And even more happy to see you love it haha. Honest and Imagine are definitely my favourites personally, I think This Life is amazing but every time I listen I feel a little blue balled, it feels like there should be another drop at the end, but there isn’t

I always blast Key’s Face album whenever I’m driving. Even when I’m stuck in a bad traffic, I never lost my cool because jamming along Key’s songs, it’s never boring. 😎

Vinxen: raps again PD: totallly destroys his setup

I agree with the old school Daft Punk sounds so much. It was my first thought when I listen to Honest and Imagine. I love Daft Punk since a long time ago, since Around the World actually (I sound particularly right now) and the Discovery album is probably my favourite so of course I like both songs a lot. Well the whole album. It's really Key's style. Very western and diverse. This Life was the final song of the album. I also agree with Cold, it was a station song and added in the repackage, the way they place it doesn't feel right. This Life was really the perfect way to finish the album.

Forever Yours is such a bop!! It's what introduced me to Key and turned me into a Shawol LOL I guess everyone has different tastes!!!!

I really love this album and I'm still listening to this every song is good on this album❤❤❤

You're totally right about Cold , it was an SM station and they just shoved it into the repack , originally the Face album ends up with This Life and i also think it's the perfect wrap up for the album

Late to the party, I recently discovered Shinee and Key. Imagine is my fav track. Love this review

His album really surprised me. I listened to it without any expectations as, aside from Taemin's last two mini-albums, I don't really listen to Shinee. However, his album was really, really good.

A thing about Shinee is that you always end up loving their b sides rather than the title track. At least that always happened to me lol their b sides whether it's for Shinee or their solo works are gold!

you should check out Taemin's latest japanese album

So glad you finally uploaded this. This Life was definitely my favourite song on the album aswell.

I just love all the album but my top 3 are chemicals, I will fight and this life.

It's funny how I just got this notif right after I saw Key's post on Instagram 💀😂

😩 we need a diving deeper for SHINee

I listened to this album when it first came out, and then forgot about it for a while. When I watched it again with you, it literally made me cry all over again. I have a really similar music taste to you, and seeing your favorites off the album just made me really happy. thank you so much for listening to this album💕💕💕

Thank you so much for appreciating Kibum music. I hope he watch this mv on his break time from military.

This Life hits the top for me but all the songs are great. It's one of the best album I've heard.

actually some of shinee's singles are not the best songs in the albums , i can assure you that they have HIDDEN TREASURES! for example in the holy trilogy MOY/MOM/MOU, they have a really contemporary style so they have r&b, pop, ballads. Talking about key I WAS REALLY WAITING FOR THIS thank you!!! THIS IS HIS DEBUT AND HE IS OUT THERE WITH A FULL ALBUM AND A REPACKAGED!!! one of the BEST pop albums of 2018 !a combination between old and modern pop also synth wave and EDM & like you said A FULL JOURNEY for every taste , really versatile, also keys vocals on point! the whole vibe of the album is a groovy progressive pop

key is actually such an underrated vocalist and dancer, you should see the live concerts for these songs, it's so impressive

jonghyun has AMAZING b-sides, all his albums are gold i would highly suggest you listen to all of them

"good good" choreo is really good good 😉

I'm so happy that you are enjoying it so much. keys music releases have been completely unclockable. It's always a banger. I wish the Korean public gives it more attention. Huhuhuhuhu

This Life made me feel exactly the way you've described it. It's so beautifully bittersweet and it means so much to our fandom. Honestly this album is my favorite from last year and one of my favorites from SHINee's members solo careers. 💙

This is the best debut album by a soloist imo! BTW Imagine is GOD

At 16:56 you've said it's very rare for an album to have to more than perfect song, but it's not rare when it comes to SHINee as a group or as solo artists

this was album of the year for me last year and I’m not even a hardcore Shinee fan

I love this album so much....key is such a brilliant artist and i am happy he is coming with a album in August....i can't wait for bummie's another bop

not to leave a comment on a 3 year old video, but-- since you liked This Life so much I would highly reccomend Key's collab "Hold On", it's another hard-hitting EDM style song

You should try to listen on SHINee albums. Their misconceptions and odd albums are beyond amazing.

Glad you liked it man, it's a bop album and people have been sleeping on Key for far too long ❤️ hope more people will be able to appreciate him after your reaction ❤️

Yay you were able to save the footage!!! This was such a fun stream, I’m so happy you love this album too 💖

Lmao I just realized that PD was wearing a shirt with their face on it lol

"obviously, taemin has been wrecking my ass… that sounds wrong." oh, well :^)

Please react to Jonghyuns ‘She is’ album!👁👄👁

i just love how the whole album has a lot of guitar elements. literally drove me crazy

I have been waiting for this upload! Thank you.

SHINee b-sides are truly where is at. Im so glad you gave this album a chance. It's definitely contender for album of the year for me too. I think you'd really like the b-sides of the 'The Story of Light' album. All the song are the same quality, or better, as Good Evening. 1 of 1 too. And Odd. Definitely give their b-sides a chance. You won't be disappointed.

i would love if you do this for more of SHINee's albums and even their solo albums, Jonghyun's music is just amazing, i feel like starting with his first mini, BASE is great to know his style, and i really love the Press it album from Taemin. Hope you give it a go!

Thank you so much for this. I needed you yamming to this album yeehaw

“I imagine acid rain coming down” 😂 Omg PD

Watching you happy makes me happy! Great video
