SHINee 'Odd' album was an incredibly interesting deep dive into a K-pop group like no other.

55:30 Alive, just like many of their songs, talk about shine/shining and blue light which is a clear reference to SHINee and Shawols pearl aqua light/color. I understand it as SHINee feels alive and energized the most when they see their fans at concerts doing what they love the most - performing. Together with Trigger they are some of the darkest and most hard-hitting SHINee songs. 1:12:44 An Encore is one of fan favorite bside tracks that they tend to, as the title entails, perform at the encore part of the concerts. It's just so big and grand vocally and beautiful sounding, it also gives me OST vibes possibly even more than An Ode To You, but I like it very much. 1:15:30 actually, Farewell My Love is the 2nd one with the least listens/plays not Trigger, I do agree that both deserve way more, as well as Alive. One more thing about Farewell My Love, you both enjoyed it very much during the reaction and even said it was one of your favorite tracks but then completely ignored it at the end :'D I think it was the only song that you didn't mention at all haha. And sadly that's the unfortunate trend/reality with Farewell My Love even among Shawols, personally I really really like it and it's one of my favorite tracks on the whole album but it's super underrated and overlooked, maybe because it's sandwiched between songs such as Trigger, Alive and Woof Woof that are way more in your face, not sure. But I just really enjoy vocally-heavy and more melancholic songs from SHINee such as Farewell My Love. I think it's one of their best vocal performances ever. 1:16:56 I think major reason as to why Alive and Trigger doesn't have many listens is because even for SHINee, songs like these are not very prominent within their discography, like sure they have some other comparable songs but it's few and far in between, so I feel like most Shawols don't really vibe with them as much. Especially back then. Now a quite similar song 'Juice' on the Hard album got way more attention but it was also more promoted. 1:18:55 I'm pretty basic when it comes to this album, except Farewell My Love that as I said is very underrated, has gotta be my favorite song/bside on the album, I do like the other most popular tracks: An Encore, Love Sick and Odd Eye (in a similar but not fixed order). View makes the top 5 cut if we include it, if not then it's Alive then Trigger and then the rest. 1:21:06 maybe you could take notes when reacting to longer albums to look at and refresh your memory, because it seemed to me that Valen enjoyed Love Sick a lot during the listen and based on the comments after it :D but I will agree that Black Hole and for me Romance are a bit more forgettable, they are by no means bad but SHINee has many songs of a similar direction that I like way more. An Ode To You is beautiful, but a bit too slow for my liking, and actually I'm not the biggest fan of Woof Woof either (sorry Theo and other Woof Woof enthusiasts :D). Don't get me wrong I think that the live performance is quite enjoyable but the song itself is verging on the side of being slightly too cheesy for me. 1:23:57 I agree that albums shoudn't be compared but I'd also rate it a bit lower than 1 of 1 (1 of 1 has got to be close to a perfect album for me). I do, however, think that the songs on the repackaged/extended version elevates it to a 9 for me, while in case of regular 'Odd' I'd pretty much agree with Valen and rate it in the range of 8.7-8.8 lol, but 8.5 is a very valid score as well. Definitely check out the repackaged single 'Married To The Music' on Youtube! It's another classic, funky, feel-good SHINee song with a very fun and pretty grotesque music video.

As for the live performances with the songs from this album, they have performed most of them at SHINee World IV and V concerts, and as with most of their songs the best performances are from the concerts so I recommend watching these, with only a few exceptions that are Love Sick and Odd Eye. I'd say they are a bit better suited for a smaller stage or just looked better to me in these particular performances on music stages, they have even performed Odd Eye at one of the year-end music award shows. Love Sick + View at Music Bank: https://youtu.be/orMG3OJtSO0 Odd Eye at Inkigayo (Key's eye-patch is iconic): https://youtu.be/pPp9da0-Q_E Odd Eye + View at KBS Song Festival: https://youtu.be/WPzSbIKbI9o SHINee World IV contains Love Sick, as well as An Encore and An Ode To You. SHINee World V contains both Alive and Trigger in a singular set together with Sherlock which I'd recommend but you already included Trigger separately for your next reaction which is also fine but just letting you know, there's also An Encore but as I said earlier I think SWC4 An Encore is the best. They also performed Black Hole, Odd Eye, and Farewell My Love. The latter I'd very highly recommend watching as the full set: Farewell My Love, Aside (very popular, particularly in Korea, OST sounding slower song/ballad), Don't Let Me Go (that you loved from 1 of 1) and Please Don't Go which is a duet song by Jonghyun and Onew. It's an iconic set and I think one of the best vocal sets when it comes to their Korean vocal-heavy songs/ballads. https://youtu.be/GVo4BqXy-T8 starts from 1:40:00 They also performed all of the songs from the repackage at SHINee World V too: Married To The Music, Hold You, Chocolate and Savior.
