BTS kinda doesnt have many fans on this website.

It's a good album, definitely better than MOTS: Persona-7 and BE, but not as good as HYYH and LY. I think it'll grow on me.

My only problem for now... Swim. It's a decent song, but this is their first album in 4 years. It should've been Body to Body with a choreo

expected, still hasn't entered US chart

So, first of all, I'm pleasantly surprised by how cohesive it is. It's a rare thing for a k-pop album. The instrumentals throughout the album are really strong, like very very good. I like that they experimented with different sounds all throughout. We've never heard BTS like this before. " Arirang " made many people have expectations are obvious traditional Korean music sounds but BTS didn't do that beyond the Body to Body sample; they took Arirang concept or meaning instead. As in the literal meanings and symbolism for the album. Also, this album is kind of dark and serious in comparison to their previous works.

As for Swim, the song got better as it progressed. At first it was like ok this cute but I start started grooving as it went along it peaked at Suga part. Agree the song is safe, but I don't dislike it. MV was visually stunning. Everybody looked good and Lili too. The first half of the album is more rap focused and the second is more vocal focused so everybody got what they wanted I think. Maybe that "No. 29" interlude was meant to symbolize that.

NORMAL is the best song overall, and easily has strongest chorus. Body to Body is also very good, banger beat and great raps! I LOVE the Arirang sample towards the end, it's so intersting and well done. We need a sickening video for Body to Body and to promote it as a single.

Overall Arirang for me : 8

My faves

I loathe how every single song has a word that they just repeat 26927262 times so lazy in terms of lyricism.

The chills I got listening to Body to Body, pray for a second single or at least an MV like they can't let this masterpiece waste as a bside

I... enjoyed this album?

album is really good, every song hits, even though at first i thought second half is better, and omg that outro song wow
