Ateez 'Into The A To Z' & 'Fever Epilogue' Album Review

Comments

The kingdom songs in the epilogue album actually all include Mingi unlike the performances. So I'd def suggest listening to them.

Lintu Uchiha

All of these songs are in the same album actually lmao it's hilarious how you kept thinking it's two diff albums.

Lintu Uchiha

Nigel stay ruining the damn recording 😭😭 jk jk

Emma

boys planet is genuinely the best competition show that has ever been. 😭 the connection and bonds the contestants formed, how they genuinely got to be so close and how they ALL supported one another whenever anyone needed it, the pure talent, the judges actually forming bonds with them and allowing for some fun even during evaluation challenges, the amount of iconic stages we got and everyone was so unapologetically themselves. nothing will ever top it. 😭

sincerely, nai.

The Real mv is a nod to the movie Volcano High which is kind of a cult classic in Korea. It even has a US version with Snoop Dog, Lil Jon, and Tracy Morgan! The more you know....😄

Sinbad

Still here and Better are japanese comebacks actually ! You should definitly try them out !

mangos

Yesss this is such a good albummmmm! Cant wait for the next album review!!!

Victoria

For a better perspective (no pun intended) Actually ‘Better’ and ‘Still Here’ are songs on fever epilogue just the Korean version. The original tracks were Japanese and the album A to Z is a Japanese release, so technically it was one album you listened to therefore you can go back and give it a rating if you’d like! beyond zero is also a Japanese release with songs from other albums just in Japanese, there’s only two exclusive songs on there called ‘The King’ and ROCKY (boxers version) and ROCKY is a song from Fever Part 3 so do with that what you will. The one you were suppose to do is Fever Part 3 bc it’s after Fever Part 2! Also I believe you missed one of the songs on fever epilogue it’s called Answer (Ode to Joy) (Feat. LA POEM). So to make things less confusing the next album review you’d be doing it’s Fever Part 3 (+answer (ode to joy) (feat. LA POEM) & The King & Rocky (boxers version) and after that you are done with the Fever series! The next album(s) are like singles 1. DREAMERS. [has an exclusive song called ‘Blue Summer’ and the single ‘Dreamers’ the other two songs on the single are remix’s basically] 2. BE MY LOVER [it has 3 songs ‘Be my Lover’ ‘white love’ (which is like a Christmas song) and the one you know ‘The Black Cat Nero’] 3. DON’T STOP [a single with no other songs it also has an MV you should check out!] after those you’d be onto the next series which is THE WORLD series! which the first of them are THE WORLD EP.1 : MOVEMENT! I hope this helped some if at all 😭

Ateez typically performs The Real at concerts, and they switch up who does the dance breaks at the end. I remember seeing the members vs their back up dancers (bbt) at the end of one The Real performance and it was soooo fun to watch

Tee

Really loved your reactions. Definitely amazing songs!! 🏴‍☠️🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🏴‍☠️ Can't wait for Fever 3 now. 🤭😅

Maribeth Bristol-McCord

One thing I would always say about ateez is that the climax of their songs is always GOOOD!

Jennika Acosta

I loved him too!! So glad he debuted in a group, love their debut song!!

Jennika Acosta

I've been waiting for you to listen to Better and Be With You!!!! Be With You is one of my top 5's!

Madelyn Moye

lovin you singing along to Turbulence at 22:22 - I'm cryin

Cele B

I always loved Wumuti!

Beth Edwards

I’m not gonna jump on your for the out of order as you’ve already got your lashings for that 😭 but, you’ll soon find that Seonghwa is actually technically a member of the rap line!

Alph

PLEASE STOP USING APPLE MUSIC OR SPOTIFY TO GO THROUGH ALBUMS THEY DONT LIST THEM CORRECTLY

Shishi

I acc cant explain how excited i am for the outlaw album

Jdrury101

Nigel please remember to check out Don't Stop!! It's very lore heavy, the MV is on DailyMotion since it got deleted off Youtube

Kokitrees

Finally someone understands me, in my opinion Better is one of their best songs, it is beautiful and one of my favorites, both versions in Japanese and Korean, Fever Epilogue is also one of my personal favorites, I love ballads and this album has the best ones, before moving on to THE WORLD series don't forget to react to Fever Pt3, it doesn't have many songs and it has 2 music videos that I love and I'm sure you'll like them

Micaela Caceres

When you get around to reviewing The World Series… I need you to lock tf in Nigel 😭

Brit

I have that tier but I already gave my limit recommendations lol

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

Dreamers is one of favorites and MV

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

YESSSSSS I was waiting for an album reaction!

Gaia Piazza

Yes this! It’s impossible to judge an Ateez song off of just one piece

ripperella

Still Here is one of those songs kinda like Guerilla. It needs to be seen live to fully appreciate it.

itscdmess

Someone else I watch do reactions explained it as ATEEZ are the Kings of the anti-drop. A lot of their songs have that perfect build up that leads to nowhere so you appreciate the drop at the end.

itscdmess

Same. I love Be With You and I love watching the live performance of it. It just hits different

itscdmess

I love their entire discography but The World Series as a whole is my favorite era. I realize now that Nigel calls their albums “projects”. They are mini-albums. Each era is just one long concept album cut into smaller chunks. Everything flows together.

itscdmess

It is build up: vocal boy group survival for me. it wasn't created to build a regular Kpop boy group, rather it focuses more on the vocals, and they have amazing singers! One of them including my favorite Jay Chang.

Jennika Acosta

I think he’s using apple music to find the next albums which doesn’t show them in order with the eps but yt music has them in order if that helps nigel

no1likevaeh

I agree with this comment and just wanted to add that, Nigel when you circle back to FEVER part 3, could you add in their Dreamers album? Dreamers is a Japanese release that came out a month before FEVER part 3, and I think the three songs on it are your vibe. And I beg you to listen to Still Here (acoustic ver) on that album it's really good. Note Mingi was on hiatus during the Dreamers album.

Sarah Belmont

I would kill for a Kingdom rematch with Mingi and Hyunjin included this time

Samantha Miller

Seriously! There could be a whole deep dive just into The Real performances. It is one of my favorite live songs.

DigitalGlitter

They have some similar chord progressions. Stay Gold is a beautiful, beautiful song. I am Atiny, but Better is not one that I seek out. I do love the ad libs at the end.

DigitalGlitter

Yess!! I hope someone in recommendation tier recommends some of their Japanese tracks

joongsparrow 🏴‍☠️

Nigel my guy, you know I love you to death and I appreciate everything you do, but you really gotta double/triple check what you’re reviewing before you review it, king. Not only did you skip Fever part 3, but you also forgot one of the tracks on Fever epilogue (Answer - Ode to Joy ver). Granted, you’ve heard that version before on Kingdom, but STILL. It would’ve been legendary to revisit that performance through the perspective of a baby ATINY. Also, for clarification, the original versions of Better and Still Here were released in Japanese on Into the A to Z, but they were re-released in Korean (the versions you listened to) on Fever Epilogue. So they WERE technically part of the same project. Hope that helps. Again, I mean absolutely no disrespect here. All love!!

Séraphine

I know atinys already said Fever Part 3 is missing still, but anyway what I wanted to say is before you jump in the World series, is a complete series of eps all based on lore. Since I know you love lyrics, I am a bit scared about it. Honestly the world series is amazing and with amazing lyrics, but they are inside a context of a group of people fighting for freedom, dealing with fear, flaws and hopes, so is based on what is going with them into the lore as black pirates fighting. They are very human but also dark because of the whole situation >.< Since you love bright lyrics, the context is needed T_T

Coelha Coelha

Fever Pt 1 Fever Pt 2 Fever Pt 3 Fever Epilogue Nigel you missed one😭😭

Shishi

Pleaseee make sure you go back to Fever pt 3!!! I would advise you go off the lists atiny gave you in your post awhile back to make sure you don't accidentally skip an album. The mv for The Real is based on a Korean martial arts movie called 'Volcano High'. Like you said, Mingi is the new kid, and the clubs are fighting to get him to join, but also test his strength. Yeosang is the true leader of the school, the peacemaker. You've gotta watch live performances of The Real and Wonderland (versions after Kingdom). The choreo goes crazy for The Real and the members always change in the dance break. For Wonderland, we get Mingi in the performance and they're still as show-stopping as the Kingdom perf.

teetiny48

Fever Part 3 Nigel 😭😭😭😭

Jade S

The Real MV is essentially high school cliques. Mingi is the new student. WooSan are the jocks, Jongho and Yunho (2Ho) are the bikers, Matz are the rich kids, and Yeosang is possibly the principal? Lol Please watch any live performances you can of this, they are so fun!!!!!

StaytinyJiniretWoo

"There will never be a competition show like kingdom" Two words: "Boys Planet" (iykyk) 😭

Beth Edwards

A to Z was a Japanese release, that's why the majority of the songs are from previous albums, just their Japanese versions. 'Still Here' and 'Better' are originally Japanese songs, but they re-released them as Korean versions on Fever Epilogue. The original 'Still Here' doesn't actually have Mingi's part because it was while he was on hiatus. But for me at least, the Korean version is way more touching because of the back-and-forth with Mingi and Yunho for the outro and the meaning of the song. It just feels like Yunho is specifically telling Mingi that he's still here, whenever he needs him. And they're in this together. Pretty sure both songs are messages for themselves/each other. I might have to listen to Turblence on my own after this reaction... There was an unknown 9th member during the performance...😏

teetiny48

Sir, you skipped Fever Part 3!!

Sarafina Forsythe

Am I tweaking or did he skip Fever part 3??

Séraphine

A to Z has songs you've heard before because it's a Japanese repackaged album and if you were going the way you've been (ie: skipping Japanese albums) you would've skipped this one. You listened to the Korean versions but A to Z has the original versions which are in Japanese. You would done Fever Pt 3 then Fever Epilogue which is when the Korean versions were released. I'm not complaining though cause I love Better and Still Here. You gotta go back to Part 3 for my queens Eternal Sunshine and Not Too Late.

woospresso

I think he's following Spotify and only filtered by Albums instead of All at this point. Because if so he'll miss The World Ep. 2: Outlaw too.

itscdmess

WAAHHH i really wanted to watch your ateez album reviews today and i come here and there's a new one?! im so exciteddd

stan stray kids

Wait tell me if I'm the only one that thinks this but 'Better is giving 'stay gold' by BTS vibes!

Beth Edwards

No actually I'm so excited

Beth Edwards

Fr😭

Beth Edwards

Just wondered why he’d react to fever epilogue before fever part 2

ATINY4EVER

Yesss I know and I love the songs

ATINY4EVER

A to Z is a Japanese album

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

Him and always skipping albums and music videos SMH

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

A to Z is a Japanese album most reactors I've watched always skip Japanese b-sides 😕 I hope he doesn't miss them

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

https://kprofiles.com/ateez-discography/ ↑ Just in case you might be following the wrong order or want to listen to their single releases along with their albums!

Essi

I love Don't Stop mv

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

I hope he reacts to their Japanese songs and watch Utopia mv

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

My favorite favorite albums are Treasure ep. 3 One to All and The World ep2 Outlaw

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

Yesss this is so true! The 30 seconds at the end of their songs is what ties everything together

Essi

Nigel how you skip fever part 3😭😭

Bryah Hudson

I've been watching other content (BTS & SKZ) while waiting on another album review. Finally glad that we're closer to The World Series. I think that is one of the best. I hope that we do get to see Fever Part 3 because I think it would be up Nigel's alley. At least Not Too Late will be for sure.

itscdmess

Now waiting for fever pt.3 you will love it!

Melissa Aguirre

Twin we gotta talk about you skipping over albums!!🤣 All jokes aside, I can’t wait for you to get into The World Ep 1: Movement, it’s one of their best!

joongsparrow 🏴‍☠️

Be With You will always be in my top 5. As far as ballads go, this one makes me emotional every single time!

AmomTiny

Zero fever part 3 crying in the corner 🥲 I loveeeee “still here” and “better”!!!! Nigel make sure you dont skip the Japanese albums!! Their Japanese title tracks always SLAP!

Em Whit

Yea but fever part 3 came before the epilogue. It would’ve been better to just combine the 3

Pizza Abby

I think A to Z came before part 3

Andi

the way nigel ALWAYS loves the songs that are skips for me (so sorry to better and still here) and hates the songs i love (justice for the leaders) (jk jk) also before we move on from the fever series don't miss out on the king and don't stop (especially the mv!)

Rain S

Right?? I was hoping he'd listen to the Japanese versions :(

Mimi

Nigel what you will start to get used to is the way Ateez build to the chorus, but throughout the song the chorus gets harder and harder so the whole song turns out to be the buildup that leads you to the finale (end of song). Once you get used to that and appreciate it, go back to some of the older ones you weren’t sure about and hear them again…I promise your perspective will be different!! That’s what happened to me the more I listened to their songs. Always looking forward to your reactions thank you!! 🫶🏻

AmomTiny

Nigel dont forget bout fever part 3!

jessica Clifford

I was confused I thought I missed the reaction

Mrs Choi

Wah! Such a fun reaction. Nigel you never disappointed.

smiles always

Mingi is on the studio versions of the kingdom performance songs in the album!!!!

Shaina

Nigel the album version of wonderland symphony number 9 had Mingi feature too as he wasn't there for kingdom, same with answer

LoveMeKnot

Same 😭

ATINY4EVER

No way bro just skipped fever part 3😭😭

Pizza Abby

You gotta watch some the real stages, they change up the dance break every time, for better etc they were actually released as Japanese singles and then later got the Korean versions on this album

LoveMeKnot

What did Fever Part 3 ever do to you?!? 😭

StaytinyJiniretWoo

I bet you had so much fun!!! 🤗🎉

StaytinyJiniretWoo

nigel you skipped fever part 3 😭

mvo.02

Wait did we skip Fever part 3?!

onthestreetw_maya

You would probably like Still Here in Japanese version

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

Loved the fever series so much! but I’m so excited to get into the world albums!! 🥰

Nina

You forgot Utopia

𐒐ᎥᎶᏲᎿ•𐒀ᏇႱ

I’m so glad you’re going through all the albums, there’s so many songs people don’t hype up enough😭 "Better" is also one of *in my opinion* their best songs

Andi

Also! About rhe real: heung version. This is the version that wasnt made in kingdom and is the version made when Mingi came back AKA the full song for the MV . The kingdom version is a different version where mingi is not included.

jessica Clifford

i might have you beat friend 😭😭

ripperella

I think u missed rocky box version

Faiza Norain

I manifested this earlier

Oneandonlydai

okay i dooo get the kingdom to mama comparison for the other groups but i am now begging you to check out ateez’s concert clips bc the wonderland performance is an every night kinda thing for them, except they have two kraken arms now 😭😭

ripperella

I can’t wait til you get to the world ep 1-3

K_euphoria

if you ever get around to it, they do freestyle dance circles with different members for every the real performance and there’s so many compilations and they’re so fun to watch

ripperella

The reason better and still here were on A to Z first is because they were Japanese only releases at the time because its a japanese remix album. The versions listed here are the korean versions rerecorded in korean for fever epilogue ^w^

jessica Clifford

Watching this on fun volume coz I’ve just got out of ateez concert and my ears are ringing is so fun! Got my priorities tho

Fei

Also! Nigel you should really check out the Beginning of the End concert! The full dvd with English subs is on YouTube! It’s a great place to start seeing Ateez’s live shows and the full vision they have for the songs from the Treasure and Fever eras. Plus songs that they don’t perform anymore or that they didn’t perform at Coachella

missie.mani

I think you skipped an album Nigel😭

Rock st☆r mingi

omg yes😭 i was so excited to hear it live

yeosangwoo

Fever part 3 is crying in the corner

SARCASTIC Panda

You skipped Part 3 🤣

yeosangwoo

ripperella

Dont nobody love still here like I love still here

Unc Nigel

Still sad we got robbed from turbulence for the Europe tour 😭

ATINY4EVER

Same 😭

Nailah

I really I hope he don’t skip the album completely though 😭

ATINY4EVER

Ohhh okay that makes more sense now

ATINY4EVER

Yeah fever pt. 3 T-T. But I kinda get it bc Into A to Z released before pt. 3 (March vs. September) and some of the Korean vers. of some songs on A to Z album are on the fever epilogue album. If that makes sense lol💀

Nailah

STOP I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HE THINKS OF BE WITH YOU

Jodi

He skipped an album again😂

Maria

Wait, what about fever part 3? I think you accidentally skipped it

Deja

i’m glad you realized you were tripping about my queen still here’s chorus

ripperella

Nigel I so DESPERATELY need you to watch a live version of ‘Still Here’ and understand the deep love for that song - seeing the members play off of eachother. I was lucky enough to see ‘Turbulence’ live and it really is so beautiful - that harmony between Jongho and San moved me to tears fr.

onthestreetw_maya

I’m soo excited but I think u skipped an album Nigel

Ma'Niyah Walker
