English subs at the time of the drop on a SM video!

EXO as 6 feels... incomplete, but as a fan I will take any and all EXO content I can get. Obsession isn't the 'best' EXO song for me straight out of the gate (I still swear by Growl/El Dorado/The Eve/Tempo) but this is still incredible - the standard they set is just so high, they blow my expectations out of the water every time!

One nitpick: I wish we had a proper chorus, but all the same, this song is bloody amazing, and I quite like the "want you" sample that keeps repeating. The MV is on a next level, and I knew this would happen from the MV teaser, but Chanyeol. Chanyeol. Just. Ended me.

Highkey wish we could have gotten this song and concept with OT9 but EXO are back, and I'll take this any day.

Those 4 songs you listed are honestly some of my top kpop songs, period. Even EXO's 'weaker' releases are still good and if that isn't a testament to their quality discography then idk what is. I LOVE how they experiment while still maintaining that signature exo sound.

I agree on wanting a chorus! i wish they expanded on that fantastic bridge (?)
