I feel like the day I discovered EXO I completely went down the rabbit hole and it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
There's something about their music and their voices that’s just so special
I seriously get overwhelmed if I think too hard about how high the quality of their music is - they are my ultimate favorite group because their songs make me feel ways I never feel with other groups and singers.
They were the first group I really fell hard for and they’ve stuck with me since I found them! They’re on another level and ,in my opinion, have one of the most varied and high quality discographys in kpop
There’s something for everyone in exo’s discography, and i love the different genres they can all pull off. I love how it feels like all of their solos and subunits have their own distinction, you can’t mistake any of their music for each other.
They have almost all genre’s covered combined with different vocal styles and techniques, and harmonies also not to mention their amazing transitions in their songs
What sets EXO apart for me is definitely their group harmonies and B-sides. No one does group harmonies like them and they have a really diverse and extremely good vocal range.It's so easy to tell who is who
EXO also has one of the most impressive vocal lines in kpop. You just can't go too wrong with voices like that.
You can expect to like something from every single album of theirs, they don't put out bad songs at all. The quality is there, the vocals are there, there's lots of genres to pick from, each member has their own sounds that you can differentiate. I like that they come back with new sounds as well, you don't see a group releasing songs like Wolf, Ko Ko Bop, Obsession and then coming out with Winter Ballads like MID, Universe, Sing for you and For Life.
I think they have a good balance of more experimental and more crowd-pleasing songs. How many groups would use Gregorian chants and Scream in a song? Or do a song like Wolf? Especially Jekyll is a really experimental song
and Tempo are also a very special and difficult song. Not many groups can and would dare to release a song with an accapella part.
and here is the same part live
When it comes to songs like Growl, Love Me Right, DFTF and Love Shot, they‘re more straight forward and therefore easier on the ears so to say. But they‘re still vastly different from one another,well produced and executed and I wouldn’t call them generic.
EXO has proven how strong they are as individuals, I mean they are a vocal based group so i’m not suprised, that even their solo, and subunits are strong discography wise.
Each one of them have their own unique voices that set them apart from each other and everyone else and all of their voices play a different role in bringing the sound together. It cannot be based on one person.
There are some patterns like mood setting wise they tend to use Baekhyun the most and for heartfelt bridges they use Suho. Kai gets the chorus or pre chorus parts and he has been used to set the mood too in songs like Ya Ya Ya and Call Me Baby. I mean they know where to put which member's voice and tone.
I feel like EXO is one of those groups that everyone fits together no matter what combination they’re in and What’s great though is that they will always sound like EXO no matter who’s missing.
What I also admire is that no matter whether the members are vocal line or not, they all have powerful voices and the song arrangement and harmonising is one of the best in bgs.
I just rewatched their Baby Don’t Cry live the other day, the one they did in 2013. The only thought was they’re monster rookies indeed.
They really don’t produce rookies like this nowadays...
What I also love about EXO is how consistent they are with their music. like they've always had that certain style to their songs and they pull it off very well. I really appreciate them changing their style without losing their signature sound, actually their consistency over the years is really impressive.
Their sound and style has been long established.
They have pretty much mastered (and imo, have an unparalleled monopoly on in kpop) the heavily-R&B-influenced sound.
They do a lot of concepts and it's not just one particular sound. Every comeback, especially the diversity in their tracks, has a new sound without going too far that their own fans don't recognize them at all music wise.
They're a group that does classical rock with Mama, R&B with Growl, pop with Call Me Baby, EDM with Power and Ballad with their winter album.They don’t try to be trendy to stand out, or play it safe so the GP likes them. They’ve done their own thing since debut and were loved because of it
one of many examples for their diversity would be 2015, they released Call me Baby, Love Me Right, Sing for You and Lightsaber in the same year
They showcase a good amount of creative diversity within their work without deviating from their brand, rather than doing what appears to be trendy or safe to cater to the GP.
But really! Im actually very impressed with how they keep the quality and "EXO sound" despite them doing a lot of genres. I remember thinking before 2017 that they couldn’t pull a reggae but they just KoKoBopped 
There is actually one thing that is bothering me and thats people who claim that their voices and singing style sounds the same and generic
People often mistake harmonizing as sounding similar.
that's kind of the point there. They want everybody's voice to blend there. Also, blending means you are not supposed to over shadow the person singing or clash with them but just add harmonies to make it sound good. So yeah, they all specifically sing that way in those lines
Like of course they should sound like one. I don't need to hear 9 different voices in my chorus.
Good vocalists are supposed to be able to harmonize, so their voices don't stand out, so they can create a balanced, listenable result. When EXO sings together? Perfect harmony.
Honestly there are tons of groups with truly amazing vocals who can't harmonize that well. You need a proper voice, technique and musical understanding to harmonize with any given person.
Seems like people are mistaking harmonization for "generic" voices
And oh, their live performances. Do I even need to go into detail here? They radiate such powerful aura when they're on stage
When it comes to EXO, their music is what always makes me come back to them, and I would suggest everyone to listen to their lives because trust me they are even better
There won't be another EXO and we won't get EXOs music twice in our life. So be happy that we can listen to them for free.
truly the best boys ever
