this album review is late because i had to perform some dark magic to stop the video from instantly getting copyright claimed by bighit entertainment LOL there's literally 4 entire minutes worth of BTS' music in this video because i wanted to show you guys the various parts i was talking about. i somehow accomplished that . . . scary. anyway, if i were to do another K-pop review as someone who doesn't care about K-pop, what group would you recommend?
“Its hilarious...basically just two grown men singing like a love friendship song to each other,,, what I’m trying to say here is like i literally love this song so much” u had me in the first half ngl
The whole album reflect his inner battle way on the beggining of his carrer, its very depth, talks about his anxiety and other issues. I hope he do a review. The reason I like BTS, its because of Suga, I first hear a couple of songs of BTS and got interested in him, found his mixtape and that was it.
@@soonidoognidori8477, nor does BTS lol, but yea. I actually don't mind the autotune in this album as much anymore (at first it was a little too much) because my ears have grown used to the album and all the songs are always on repeat :)
@@xxxxx8891 true! But sometimes there are some songs that i think would be perfect with their natural voices, I think they put too much effort on the autotune.
@@lastcoloroftherainbow9060 Aren’t they just normal questions to ask celebrities? And armies always ship BTS members together so the interviewer was trying to shed some light on it. And @Kiriuu it’s just a mistake yes the interviewer should know who each of them are because it’s their job. It’s an accident, a mistake right? Seems kinda toxic from y’all
@@craftypixel7992 The point is that all this wouldn't happen if the interviewers did a minimum of research. Those were normal questions to ask for the first 2 or 3 times but it's just lazy after the 1000th time. It's ok to make mistakes but it's just annoying that so many interviewers don't give a fuck about bts and don't even spend a second of their time to get into them a little bit. I mean thats literally what they get paid for.
As an old BTS fan, i find this video hilarious, respect bro, u did not hate on there looks, u did not hate on them, you criticized the music and u were honest about it, okay i just love the way u deal with this and yeah, also yeah ON ft. SIA isn't something we like either so go on.
He didn’t insult their looks, ethnicity, language, or accents of any member, he just did constructive criticism and I love it.. not being into their music is a totally ok thing, and only toxic army would think otherwise. Anyways stream “BE”🏃🏾♀️💨💨
OmG like 2 years ago I stop being an army and last month I heard they dropped a new album so I checked it out, and when I tell you it was an emotional roller coaster, it really was, the whole album was a masterpiece the only problem was "dynamite" and the Auto-Tune on some of yoongi raps which I'm not surprised because most if not all of the boy groups I "stan" now uses Auto-Tune alot in their songs now(I feel like it's going to be the new trend in the kpop industry) but after all this time they still have this special "gem" in their music considering the fact how huge they are now, but I think I'm going to go back to being an army...
@@simpalert2437 yeah dynamite was autotuned a lot, but I was thinking maybe because, it's a full English song, and it was hard for them to sing in English completely Also, glad you're back to the fandom 💜
@@simpalert2437 I liked dynamite, but ppl act like it’s their best song. Honestly dynamite is one of their most generic songs, it gives me those highschool musical vibes just something that the western audience (mainly America) will EAT up and boy they did. But I feel like they have so many more great songs than dynamite. Also, I can’t even listen to it anymore, it got so overplayed I just can’t😭😭😭 but ofc everyone is entitled to their own opinions
@@Plut0h0bi_ ngl dynamite did make me really happy when I first listen to it, I heard that is wasn't produced nor, written by them and they also had second thoughts about putting it out but they wanted army to be happy so they gifted them that as a "present", they themselves didn't know that dynamite would go well or big as it is now lol, I agree that it was generic but it's seem like people really loved it, they also got alot of new fans aswell during that era.
To the "army" who disliked the video because they felt attacked. He did his research on all the songs. He searched up the lyrics, knew the backgrounds of each song, the members' vocals and names. He didn't 'slander' the songs, it was more like constructive criticism. Yes, he did say he disliked some parts of a song but he gave a clear (and understandable) reason as to why. There are always going to be people to dislike their songs. We are ALLOWED to dislike their songs. As an army myself, I can confidently say that not all of their songs are 100% hits. I like some songs more than others. That's based on preference, and feeling attacked by it most likely means that you aren't being truthful to yourself. He was being honest and for some of the things he said, I could agree on as well. Thank you for this respectful review.
For example he said he didn‘t liked Dionysus that much and I share his opinion it’s definitely not my favourite song but I still like it and I liked his video and when I feel like I have another opinion about a song it’s okay because that’s your own style
no wonder why there are a lot of kpop fans here that respect him, ladies and gentlemen, we respect this guy and protect him at all costs from stupid people that just want attentions when they criticize him for being too cool to kpop fans
I agree with you I really love and respect his opinion and his channel and I really do agree with what he was saying I love how he was being honest not ignorant or toxic and even learned there names and other stuff Im just glad he tried to listen to them and gave his honest opinion (and yes protect him at all cost)💜
He’s actually how a non bts fan is supposed to be like, not just offending their looks, he doesn’t call them names or anything like that, he just doesn’t like their music but thx for being honest
i didnt like bts up until like legit a few days ago and even then i was shocked at how much people hated them like wow??? Like they are all very good looking the worst thing I said about them was that I couldn't tell them apart XD ( i can now lol ) but people really love to hate on them for no reason like can they stop
If you can say all this why cant you be a musician why come here blabering nonsence when you can do anything bts songs are the best more than that its better than love songs and sexual songs idiotic
As an ARMY with many ARMY friends, I’m constantly surrounded by people who have little to no criticism whatsoever towards the boys. I’ve had other ARMYs get mad at me for disliking some of their songs, someone was even upset with me for disliking ON (feat. Sia) which I thought everyone hated. It was really refreshing to get an outside perspective of their talent and all of the criticism was really valid and well thought-out.
It is hard to be open when with other ARMYs tbh. Just because you do not like a few songs doesn't mean you are an anti or something. You should just like more songs than you dislike...and imo being an ARMY or whatever other fandom means you like them beyond the music as well...they add some value to your life. Otherwise, there is no point. So, if you feel you are an ARMY, it could even be 5 very precious songs and an understanding of the message that you use to inspire you. They should bring some positive influence to your life and that is not really dependent on 50 songs. I do not think die hard rock fans like EVERY single song in their fave band. Just a thought.
@@etherean369 precisely. Most fans of any bands will have some songs they don’t like, that’s normal. But it seems that with kpop and BTS especially theres this expectation that all the fans should like all the songs and it’s just ridiculous. No one can make everyone happy with everything they do or create.
i like how even tho he doesn’t like bts he still gave them a chance. he took the time to actually read and understand the lyrics, even figure out which member raps or sings it. i always see people hating on bts’s music when they haven’t even listened to it. people always are going to have their opinion on things and some people are just going to have to deal with it. i like how he still appreciated their vocals and raps
AnDaA 9395 that’s what I was thinking the whole time, I’m glad he’s so respectful compared to haters who completely unacknowledge that BTS is actually talented
hilomona I think that’s the only way to give an exact opinion. Yes, army’s know a lot about BTS but aren’t we biased? He doesn’t like them but he tried to be as neutral as possible and explain his reasoning for not really liking them. By researching he made himself neutral and unbiased in the non army category. If I was giving my opinion on something I didnt like and still try to be respectful, this is exactly what I would do. If that’s not the way you would do it, don’t hate because he was respectful and unbiased in this situation. He knew he didn’t like them but he still gave them a try. We should be grateful. He gave us another pov.
HOW ? Map 7 lowkey sucks (the autotune is so annoying, BigHit is doing it with TXT too and it doesn't sound good) Persona had better side tracks and the MV was better
I hope the company stop the autotune cuz they literally don't need it. Also they always do V dirty like my guy has such a wide range and soulful voice..
The fact that he, who is not a fan, took the time to look up the translated lyrics to gain an understanding of the song, makes me feel weirdly proud because there exists fans who don't even do this.
i did that too when i heard bts songs! their music is not for me even though i enjoy it to some extent but they have some great lyrics even though they were in a language i dont know. i respect them for their honesty and sincerity and like them but dont consider them my favourites or whatever. they put their best foot forward and i wont bash them for that. but army stans scare me
Deadpool army stands are definitely extra... I stay clear of them too and I love BTS. I got into them in February but I’m not that obsessed with them...I’m starting to get into other k-pop groups
@@maliablossom7340 These stans need to understand that they are repelling people who may enjoy the music with their behaviour and turning them against the band
8:39 filter is actually a really dark song beyond its beyond sexy execution that discusses the nuances and troubles of going out of your way to constantly impress and win someone over because your version of you isn't ideal. jimin asking "is it still not enough?" and saying "you'l be wanting only me, because you are the one who made me" is actually very jarring and eye opening as we look into how he only version of him people accept and love and want is the one they've created themselves. that itself is actually really difficult to deal with and face and the way he was able to build that inte the choreo, adding to the metaphor is insane because people are so distracted by the sexy r the song that they don't even try l choree for looking inte it more. he can be controlled by you (Genie) but how about being in control (Aladdin)? jimin has many versions of himself he wants to show the world but you won't be happy until it's the version you picked out for him, a stereotype you have in your head, a prejudice. it's a very powerful metaphor
There is beauty in your soul yea but like it talks about heartbreak and stuff but then you have the cypher series and those are expressing anger so it makes them scarier y’know
In all honesty, this is one of the best bts album reviews I've seen because d'angelo doesn't sugarcoat and isn't afraid of speaking his own opinion, as he should. and to armys who disliked this video, he literally pointed out both good AND bad points about the album. this is one of the best reviews we can get at all.
Coming back to this video, i noticed that I wasn't objective about BTS. I just loved them so much that i didn't really got into a really objective perspective. Sorry for saying it, but not all of their songs are THE BEST and that's okay! No one of us are perfect and trying different styles helps a lot!
I couldn't not be objective lol. There are some BTS songs I skipped from day 1... and it's totally okay! I love that they experiment & grow...it keeps them fresh AND also exposes them to mistakes & the occasional ISH ISH song. The point is whether or not they have MORE GOOD songs than bad... There are BTS songs I listen to for the message....not the musicality. Others for both. Others cause they sound AMAZING. For me this is more important than a few total skips .
It is impossible to be objective. Saying something or someone is objective can even be dangerous. Many ppl take this man's thoughts as objective and therefore take it as there own without realizing some of his points can also be rightly critized.
I like how we just accept that "jungkook is just flexing" any time he does anything anymore. I mean, the only thing he cant seem to do is wear short sleeves 😂
@@bensophin no hahaha its just some reaction videos on youtube. its really obvious that they just want our clout bcs armys like when people praise bts. but they don't actually put them in their playlist, you know what I mean?
I listened to it. It was better than MOTS7, But still I didn't personally love it. One album I did like though, Was "BE". I don't think it's great. But, it's really good.
Because what one considers "informed" may seem to be completely lacking of knowledge to someone else who is more informed, and thus it's subjective. No one is knocking anyone for being honest, but thinking you're informed when you're not? Pretty easy to get mad at if you take the topic at hand seriously.
As an ARMY, I actually agree with many of the things you said. Like others said in this comment section, their voices can actually sound autotuned-ish naturally, but I still think sometimes the autotune (not only in this album) is too excessive, unnecessary and at times annoying. But the messages they spread in the majority of their songs and their performance are outstanding, you can't really argue with that. And yeah, Jungkook and Yoongi killed it (yes I'm biased)
@@paisleydotzauer6503 nope. By my logic you can't say something is overrated. without even knowing the body of work. He could dislike it but he can't discredit something he doesn't even know anything about. For me to say Elton John is overrated would be ridiculous. I think I've only heard one song. I have no idea his body of work. I can't make that evaluation on limited facts.
They sound alright. I could jam on it, but I am a dance music fanatic. I cannot bring myself to like the group though.. because of the cultism. It is a shame really.
I love the construction though. The album is written in precisely the same way I write.. everything. They even use similar terms, I think that I have written this album before in fact. Of course, it is not them writing it.
@@IfmoneycanbuyhappinessIwntall You are allowed to be an exception. However, you would have to he seeing the programming at work to avoid falling into the traps presented. The fanbase for this particular group is loaded with them. Cultism in general.. it is something we cannot tolerate. Unfortunately, it has become the underlying matrix for the human operating system at this point.
I’m so late even though I watched this a year ago Okay so in my opinion, I feel like- and this goes for other groups too- some of BTS’s songs aren’t like a good listen, not because they’re bad songs, but because they’re more performance songs. A big, good example is Dionysus! I like the song, but the vibe doesn’t match me and I don’t really listen to it on like Spotify (song alone). I find myself enjoying and getting the hype when I watch them perform the song lol esp MMA 2019... it was so hype... Anyways yeah this video is old but still I love this commentary and reactions haha
fr, there are certain times where I can’t listen to some songs bc it just doesn’t fit my vibe atm. but I also think that goes to show how diverse and experimental they are
I feel like this applies to a lot of kpop groups lol the music is only part of the whole thing its supposed to be enjoyed with the choreo and a vibe created
I agree dionysus and even not today imo are songs that are meant to be performed, I'd say the same thing goes to ON and even another Kpop Group called Seventeen. I never liked these songs no matter how many times I listened to them, but when I watched the performance I was so mind blown and whenever I hear these songs now the performance comes flashing back to my mind and I get hyped lol.
fr- i feel like if RM stumbled upon this video, i doubt he will but IF, he’d be taking this constructive criticism in a nice way cuz it’s actually helpful.
“Their style just isn’t for me - and that’s fine”. It is. People like to attack people who don’t like BTS’ music despite giving it a shot and just are persistent that listening more and more will make them like BTS. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. And more people need to understand that. (Before I get hate- I’ve been an Army since Dark & Wild, I’ve been to 5 concerts and love their music so much so please don’t come at me calling me an Anti)
Thank you, for an nice and honest comment. I agree with you, if someone doesn’t like BTS music is ok as in the same if someone stopped liking their music who is my case, but I still enjoying their live performance.
@@ilianabarrera5505 also there is still room for new music that might be ur taste srsly though if literally everyone loved their music I would be more concerned lol
I freaking Agree to this. Im not big fan of bts, and their style isn't really for me. but I know these guys are freakin talented, they have the best singers and rappers in the kpop industry, and I think they do deserve to be number 1 kpop group in this generation. I have no right to bash these guys just because lol. Im more of a got7 fan btw, and their friendship with bts is
He was wrong about one thing: ARMYs appreciate the fact that he did his research and gave BTS a fair shake. His opinions are his own and we may disagree but we respect his opinion because it was incredibly well-informed.
Right! So many people judge them based off toxic fans or their most poular songs without taking the time to get to know the boys themselves or their music. Even if people don't like it they shouldn't just openly disrespect. Some people are just blatanly rude and racist and it's disgusting. They have a huge superiority complex when it comes to k-pop and it makes me upset because not all music in the industry is that bad. Believe it or not I wasn't really into k-pop either. I thought it was manufactured and fake, but when I took the time to research I ended up liking a lot more songs than I expected. I just think people shouldn't open their mouths unless they're actually educated. So many people speak off prejudice and it kinda stings.
Even though he dislikes bts the fact he did so much research, looked into the lyrics, the message they’re trying portray and said everything he says in this video is subjective that’s impressive.
I can’t even listen to “we are bulletproof: the eternal” because it’s makes me so emotional... I’ve been a part of the ARMY family for several years now and hearing the song and listening to the lyrics make me realize that they’ve been through so much and they’ve grown to become many people’s inspiration and I’m honestly very thankful to them for being who they are
as an army, mad respect for this guy. they’re just not his taste and that is completely okay!! its bold of him to make such a straight forward video. he wasn’t rude about and took the time to learn about them and listen to their music and came to the conclusion their music just wasn’t his taste, and he wasn’t disrespectful towards them or their fans. i wish more people could react like this instead of being so harsh and ignorant!
@@tiffanyli3429 That's funny 😂✨A KOREAN group is globally successful despite the language barrier, being underdogs even in their own country because their company was small and the constant racism they experience in the west, but sure they're overrated. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions✨
When he was reviewing We are bulletproof: The eternal and he said "If you are a long time fan this song will probably be really moving for you" *I felt that.*
:) trueee, army here. there IS a loud toxic minority in this fandom, but I personally enjoyed the review. he did a really good job in research and everything, so, mad respect for that.
we stan a man who, even though he doesn’t like bts, took the time research translations for the songs, familiarized himself with all the members, in order to give an honest review
As an army, I think it's great to see someone actually give GOOD criticism that makes sense. I can see and understand how you feel, it's not the "OMG they are so ugly and their music is just noise" or "BTS is so perfect they can never do anything wrong omg my baby angels" that I see everywhere. I hope other armys don't hate on you.
No, most other people hate it because it promotes what is literally called a "Slave Contract" which is what controls these people's lives, it's strict, inhumane and morally incorrect people in Korea have spoken out about this, but their success is what keeps it going
[Jac̡҉k̕_ W҉̛̕o͞od̀́͞s̢͞] Slave contracts are illegal and idols can sue to get out of unfair/breached contracts. Maybe do a little more research than watching “the dark side of kpop” videos.
As an army i appreciate all the research and agree with most of the points, especially the collabs and autotune. The only "bad" thing i can say about your analysis is that it physically hurt me when you said you didn't like moon but everyone has their preferences and i respect that. Thank you for the unbiased and reasonable commentary even though you dont like them
It's ironic that, 5 months after this review, Rolling Stone Magazine named Moon the 5th Greatest Boy Band Song Of All Time. I guess we all have different tastes.💜🤔 There were also three other BTS songs on the list💜👍
I'm so happy to hear someone else's disappointment with V's solo track. He has such a unique voice and I feel like Inner Child didn't do much to showcase it.
When I hear of a "kpop react", this is exactly what I hope to see rather than those fake ones that pretend to enjoy and be loud and obnoxious. He's not hating on them, he's just genuinley expressing how he feels. No one has to like the song and shouldn't be forced too. Same goes to the opposite side. No need to throw uneccessary hate if you can't backup your reason for hating it. Other than that, I really enjoyed this video!
To be honest, I’m sad that we have people in this fandom who can’t take criticism. Your video is respectful, and it’s obvious that you put a lot of time into making it. It’s a shame that some people are immature and feel the need to “protect” bts, even when what you’re saying isn’t hateful. THANK YOU for making an in depth review with constructive criticism.
This was way more positive than you prefaced. 😅 that said, I appreciate your honesty because it was informed and respectful. And I agreed with quite a bit. Tbh, one of the things I dislike about fandoms (in general, but army is no exception) is the way Stans refuse to be critical. Artists are not perfect - personally or in their professional work. It’s ok to not love every single thing your fave does. It makes the appreciation more sincere. You’re not a fan? Could’ve fooled me!
Ngl I do respect his opinions atleast he isn’t like screaming or like “ they got no talent “ i do understand that theres some flaws with their songs but I still like it so respect to you dude 💜
as a bts stan this was so refreshing to watch. i’m so tired of all those other reactors who just blindly praise everything bts do bc they’re too afraid to give their honest opinion in fear of getting hate. thank you for doing your research and being respectful
Thank u thank u. I literally never watch reaction channel things because it always seems that their excitement is exaggerated and fake, but D'Angelo is not afraid to get his honest opinion out In which I'd watch this over any reaction any day.
Amazing Appleness righttt, i feel like he’s so genuine and just a really likeable person in general . i can tell he puts a lot of hard work and effort into all of his videos so i really appreciate him for that
AD I agree, if people could be just a bit more open minded I feel like everyone would be able to experience new things and enjoy things that you never thought of, but since not everyone is like that, there's definitely trashy people like Shallon Lester for example who completely ignored their actual music and was just referring them as women and saying other things. But I really appreciate D'Angelo for not doing that 🙂.
Yes, with BTS is important for all albums to research the story and all to understand their music :) Also since it is a story and the story has a narrative that is usually in groups of 3 albums, it's hard to understand their work if you listen to them randomly.
@Perla Lopez Gomez How can I say this... there is literally no step they take without someone having something to complain about. As for copy is not entirely true, in art is acceptable as long as it's not exactly the same (the design is what they used).
I really loved his honesty. I also liked how he complimented Jungkook for his vocals like yes he really deserves to be complimented cause he's the main vocalist after all. Nowadays lot of people are criticizing and hating Jungkook for no reason. Well yes I know all of them are jealous of him bcoz he's good at literally everything and may be far better than their biases so just to satisfy their ego they are doing so. But I really loved how he mentioned facts - "This song is just Jungkook flexing his vocals." umm... he indeed has one of the best vocals in the world.
Agreed, but not all of them are haters or jealous, some people simply don't like his vocals/me included, which is okay I love how he sings with emotions but his voice seems average to me
@@lovemusic10yearsago93 Your kinda toxic to say that when theirs blatent evidence, true he is a AMAZING vocal singer but its all hidden by robotic autotune.
@@AndrewsMotivation How you know he autotune? Please dont judge people, it doesnt mean he sing well means he autotune. Also, what about the live performances though? So then your saying other people that sings well like taylor swift, ariana grande, lady gaga and the others use autotune? Ok, yes, maybe he uses a little bit autotune, but i think its probably a problem with his mic? You cant believe he uses autotune all the time. Not trying to be rude and toxic but that person was being a little rude tbh.
I remember watching this video not knowing much about BTS. After watching, I listened to some of their music, and I started to enjoy it more. Now I’m definitely a fan! They put in a lot of work for their performances. They are great artists.
I really liked how raw and honest this review was, how he already did his research and knew what they're about before just jumping into the video. I was initially expecting immature reactions and ignorant commentaries, however he was really respectful and went into full depth as to why he liked or disliked a track. Best unbiased K-pop review imo
As a BTS fan It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone give real criticism without being racist and disrespectful. Learning their names, understanding their strong and weak points, and going in and reading their lyrics to better understand the song really warms my heart.
I know right i was scared of going through the comment section at first because their might be wars between locals and Armys, So happy that everyone is being respectful
A bit of clarification. For people who don't know why Halsey was only in the song for a bit. It is because it is their lead single and when they sing the song live for music shows Halsey can not be in every show performing with them, so the original song doesn't feature her as much as you think. But I'm pretty sure they have a different version where Halsey sings all the English bits of the songs. It was more of a fun collab I guess and it's something that I wouldn't regret happening. On feat Sia is a different story however, you've already got the original song but they added another one that sounds literally the same as the original but with someone in the back. Also for songs like Dionysus, honestly packed with *Auto-Tune* but it is better to do research on the actual song itself apart from just lyrics (I'm happy that you at least done the lyrics). The Auto-Tune was to fit the concept of the song but sometimes it is better without it, BTS doesn't usually use Auto-Tune when live though. About the song Dionysus, is from Greek mythology and he is the god of wine and party. There are many other things about the song and other songs but I will not be saying everything. Overall really liked the review
Man all these comments praising the bare minimum of not being racist, ignorant and doing a bit of basic research for a music review. It’s rlly clear how badly BTS have been treated by westerners if you think this review was the best one out there. edit: He can dislike their music and them all he wants, that's not what this comment is about. Just pointing out that it's very telling how badly BTS are treated in general for his mediocre review of their album be praised that much in the comments.
@@interlude6993 girl if you saw what he said on Twitter then you wouldn’t be saying this shit . Stfu being respectful and having an opinion are two dif things BYE .
@@marysingler6328 he was respectful. Did you read his tweet? He criticized western audience for only supporting bts's English songs. He never criticized BTS in the tweet lol if anything he praised them, pointing out the quality of their Korean discography.
See this is proof that MOST armys only crave an honest opinion. We don't need everybody to love BTS. If you put in the effort to correctly learn about them and still feel like you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. We respect that you at least looked into it instead of just going with the majority of haters who don't even listen to BTS.
@@Levyxx okay but ngl though I'm surprised the comment section is as readable as it is? I mostly see a lot of people either saying they don't agree but still respect his opinion which is....pretty okay as it goes since he did have some criticisms that can be a bit subjective (aka just we have different tastes and opinions and that's like...fine?) I haven't seen a lot of people just mindlessly attacking him though, but the comments saying they disagree and explaining why is to be expected
Love Leads um~we don't agree with some of his point doesn't mean we hate him or need him to accept what we r thinking. We r not saying that he can't make these points either. We r just telling our pov on some of the points he made based on our knowledge as a fan of bts. He doesn't really know bts as much as us, he might have just listen to one or two of their recent album, and he obviously can't understand why some songs sound this way. But we have listen to literally every single song they've released and had already analyzed what kind of style is a bts style, what is a habit they have when they are making a song, and what their actual talent is. We disagree with some of the points that he's making and explain why we disagree. We got a right to diagree right? I don't see the problem of this. If we don't say anything and agree with everything he saids, I don't think we can call our self fans of bts anymore😂
@@Levyxx he didnt do complete research though, he thinks that Filter, 0:0, Boy with luv, Moon and other songs are basic, and they all have deep meanings.
pinetree bruh liking an artist singing capabilities doesn’t make you a stan, bunch of singers I like but don’t like their music or songs, jungkook is an amazing singer, still wouldn’t listen to a track for one bit.
I would have bet my ass if anyone's got him, it'd be Jimin, because let's be honest, Jimin collects men like ARMY collect photocards, but I'm sure as hell not complaining about him liking JK xD
d’angelo can I please beg you to listen to LOONA? They have an entire universe told through each music video and every song is versatile and different from one another. BBC (their company) debuted one girl at a time and then put them into subunits until they reached their final debut as 12 members. Each solo song is so entirely different from the next and their composition is incredible. Not to mention once again, their universe. It gets pretty complex but there’s 3 subunits and each subunit is on a separate plane in the LOONAVERSE. 1/3 is on earth, Odd Eye Circle is on middle earth, and YYXY is on the other side of the Möbius strip in Eden. The story goes from there. I’d rather you listen to each members debut solo and their song Butterfly rather than an entire album, I feel those are the most defining parts of LOONA. :)
I actually really like this video. Because even though knowing he doesn’t like their sound in general, he went in with an open mind and did point out things he liked. Like the song Ugh. It was him just praising the song. And as someone who just graduated high school…a B- is a grade I would gladly take. Maybe would make some corrections, but I would be happy with it. One thing I think is important to remember. This album is a continuation from Map of the Soul: Persona. So if I’m not mistaken, about the first half of the songs were on that album and the second half are new songs.
Fun fact: Jungkooks high notes in ON were actually written for a girls vocal range and RM was unsure whether Jungkook would be bale to pull it off. He did.
I agree, it should be common and normal. People shouldn't have to be thanked for decent normal behavior lol But I think thanking people for it is a good way to call attention to the fact that it's a problem in the first place. It really a breath of fresh air to watch this video 😤😀✌💜
Yeah but any person hating bts will end up talking about their race in a negative undertone I mean just look at twomad's comments on his video about army attacking him on twitter, racist little shits on there
Why are they thanking him for giving fair criticism? Without racist remarks? Because obviously a LOT of people that don't like BTS seem to be racist towards them in their "criticism.
a lot of people in their reviews don't give fair criticism and call the music bad bc they're asian and explicitly call it "asian crap" so i think this video gave really fair, respectful criticism based on the music and not their race 💜
Just saw this review and I really loved how you handled it. I don't really need every person to like bts, but at least show them respect as artists. Even though you're not a fan I appreciate your criticisms since you gave justification on what you didn't like.

this album review is late because i had to perform some dark magic to stop the video from instantly getting copyright claimed by bighit entertainment LOL there's literally 4 entire minutes worth of BTS' music in this video because i wanted to show you guys the various parts i was talking about. i somehow accomplished that . . . scary. anyway, if i were to do another K-pop review as someone who doesn't care about K-pop, what group would you recommend?
dangelowallace i recommend LOONA. theyre a kpop girl group
red velvet
shine-pentagon or butterfly-loona
dangelowallace Day6? They’re a band

OmG like 2 years ago I stop being an army and last month I heard they dropped a new album so I checked it out, and when I tell you it was an emotional roller coaster, it really was, the whole album was a masterpiece the only problem was "dynamite" and the Auto-Tune on some of yoongi raps which I'm not surprised because most if not all of the boy groups I "stan" now uses Auto-Tune alot in their songs now(I feel like it's going to be the new trend in the kpop industry) but after all this time they still have this special "gem" in their music considering the fact how huge they are now, but I think I'm going to go back to being an army...
@@simpalert2437 yeah dynamite was autotuned a lot, but I was thinking maybe because, it's a full English song, and it was hard for them to sing in English completely
Also, glad you're back to the fandom 💜
@@simpalert2437 I liked dynamite, but ppl act like it’s their best song. Honestly dynamite is one of their most generic songs, it gives me those highschool musical vibes just something that the western audience (mainly America) will EAT up and boy they did. But I feel like they have so many more great songs than dynamite. Also, I can’t even listen to it anymore, it got so overplayed I just can’t😭😭😭 but ofc everyone is entitled to their own opinions
@@Plut0h0bi_ ngl dynamite did make me really happy when I first listen to it, I heard that is wasn't produced nor, written by them and they also had second thoughts about putting it out but they wanted army to be happy so they gifted them that as a "present", they themselves didn't know that dynamite would go well or big as it is now lol, I agree that it was generic but it's seem like people really loved it, they also got alot of new fans aswell during that era.
Dynamite is a commercialized song made to break bts further into the U.S. market and I don't think it can be compared to the actual songs they wrote

To the "army" who disliked the video because they felt attacked. He did his research on all the songs. He searched up the lyrics, knew the backgrounds of each song, the members' vocals and names. He didn't 'slander' the songs, it was more like constructive criticism. Yes, he did say he disliked some parts of a song but he gave a clear (and understandable) reason as to why. There are always going to be people to dislike their songs. We are ALLOWED to dislike their songs. As an army myself, I can confidently say that not all of their songs are 100% hits. I like some songs more than others. That's based on preference, and feeling attacked by it most likely means that you aren't being truthful to yourself. He was being honest and for some of the things he said, I could agree on as well. Thank you for this respectful review.
True. I mean as an army it does hurt a little bit but I really respect that he did thorough research on all the songs even if he didn't like them.
I think there's also a weird automatic dislike thing that KRplus does for some reason so can we like get rid of that-
For example he said he didn‘t liked Dionysus that much and I share his opinion it’s definitely not my favourite song but I still like it and I liked his video and when I feel like I have another opinion about a song it’s okay because that’s your own style
Yes.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE ONES IN THE BACK!!!!
no wonder why there are a lot of kpop fans here that respect him, ladies and gentlemen, we respect this guy and protect him at all costs from stupid people that just want attentions when they criticize him for being too cool to kpop fans
PROTECT HIM AT ALL COST! *injures self and becomes a attack titan*
I agree with you I really love and respect his opinion and his channel and I really do agree with what he was saying I love how he was being honest not ignorant or toxic and even learned there names and other stuff Im just glad he tried to listen to them and gave his honest opinion (and yes protect him at all cost)💜

stigma, we lesbians claim that song
As an ARMY with many ARMY friends, I’m constantly surrounded by people who have little to no criticism whatsoever towards the boys. I’ve had other ARMYs get mad at me for disliking some of their songs, someone was even upset with me for disliking ON (feat. Sia) which I thought everyone hated. It was really refreshing to get an outside perspective of their talent and all of the criticism was really valid and well thought-out.
YESSSS
I don't think any ARMY even likes On ft Sia,,,,,we all skip it
It is hard to be open when with other ARMYs tbh. Just because you do not like a few songs doesn't mean you are an anti or something. You should just like more songs than you dislike...and imo being an ARMY or whatever other fandom means you like them beyond the music as well...they add some value to your life. Otherwise, there is no point. So, if you feel you are an ARMY, it could even be 5 very precious songs and an understanding of the message that you use to inspire you. They should bring some positive influence to your life and that is not really dependent on 50 songs. I do not think die hard rock fans like EVERY single song in their fave band.
Just a thought.
@@etherean369 precisely. Most fans of any bands will have some songs they don’t like, that’s normal. But it seems that with kpop and BTS especially theres this expectation that all the fans should like all the songs and it’s just ridiculous. No one can make everyone happy with everything they do or create.

i like how even tho he doesn’t like bts he still gave them a chance. he took the time to actually read and understand the lyrics, even figure out which member raps or sings it. i always see people hating on bts’s music when they haven’t even listened to it. people always are going to have their opinion on things and some people are just going to have to deal with it. i like how he still appreciated their vocals and raps
AnDaA 9395 that’s what I was thinking the whole time, I’m glad he’s so respectful compared to haters who completely unacknowledge that BTS is actually talented
Everyone needs to be like this
hilomona I think that’s the only way to give an exact opinion. Yes, army’s know a lot about BTS but aren’t we biased? He doesn’t like them but he tried to be as neutral as possible and explain his reasoning for not really liking them. By researching he made himself neutral and unbiased in the non army category. If I was giving my opinion on something I didnt like and still try to be respectful, this is exactly what I would do. If that’s not the way you would do it, don’t hate because he was respectful and unbiased in this situation. He knew he didn’t like them but he still gave them a try. We should be grateful. He gave us another pov.
People who don’t like BTS should act like him.
Yea he still is respectful and didn't attack their looks or be racist or disrespectful to them just from what they look like and who they are.

8:39 filter is actually a really dark song beyond its beyond sexy execution that discusses the nuances and troubles of going out of your way to constantly impress and win someone over because your version of you isn't ideal. jimin asking "is it still not enough?" and saying "you'l be wanting only me, because you are the one who made me" is actually very jarring and eye opening as we look into how he only version of him people accept and love and want is the one they've created themselves. that itself is actually really difficult to deal with and face and the way he was able to build that inte the choreo, adding to the metaphor is insane because people are so distracted by the sexy r the song that they don't even try l choree for looking inte it more. he can be controlled by you (Genie) but how about being in control (Aladdin)? jimin has many versions of himself he wants to show the world but you won't be happy until it's the version you picked out for him, a stereotype you have in your head, a prejudice. it's a very powerful metaphor

In all honesty, this is one of the best bts album reviews I've seen because d'angelo doesn't sugarcoat and isn't afraid of speaking his own opinion, as he should. and to armys who disliked this video, he literally pointed out both good AND bad points about the album. this is one of the best reviews we can get at all.
Coming back to this video, i noticed that I wasn't objective about BTS. I just loved them so much that i didn't really got into a really objective perspective. Sorry for saying it, but not all of their songs are THE BEST and that's okay! No one of us are perfect and trying different styles helps a lot!
Exactly everyone has different taste
Yes
Yupppp
I couldn't not be objective lol. There are some BTS songs I skipped from day 1... and it's totally okay!
I love that they experiment & grow...it keeps them fresh AND also exposes them to mistakes & the occasional ISH ISH song.
The point is whether or not they have MORE GOOD songs than bad...
There are BTS songs I listen to for the message....not the musicality.
Others for both. Others cause they sound AMAZING.
For me this is more important than a few total skips .
It is impossible to be objective. Saying something or someone is objective can even be dangerous. Many ppl take this man's thoughts as objective and therefore take it as there own without realizing some of his points can also be rightly critized.

As an ARMY, I actually agree with many of the things you said. Like others said in this comment section, their voices can actually sound autotuned-ish naturally, but I still think sometimes the autotune (not only in this album) is too excessive, unnecessary and at times annoying. But the messages they spread in the majority of their songs and their performance are outstanding, you can't really argue with that.

"...Jungkook's.... LITERAL EVERYTHING." I felt that
😫 frr
Ikr
I’m so late even though I watched this a year ago
Okay so in my opinion, I feel like- and this goes for other groups too- some of BTS’s songs aren’t like a good listen, not because they’re bad songs, but because they’re more performance songs. A big, good example is Dionysus! I like the song, but the vibe doesn’t match me and I don’t really listen to it on like Spotify (song alone). I find myself enjoying and getting the hype when I watch them perform the song lol esp MMA 2019... it was so hype...
Anyways yeah this video is old but still I love this commentary and reactions haha
fr, there are certain times where I can’t listen to some songs bc it just doesn’t fit my vibe atm. but I also think that goes to show how diverse and experimental they are
I feel like this applies to a lot of kpop groups lol the music is only part of the whole thing its supposed to be enjoyed with the choreo and a vibe created
I agree dionysus and even not today imo are songs that are meant to be performed, I'd say the same thing goes to ON and even another Kpop Group called Seventeen. I never liked these songs no matter how many times I listened to them, but when I watched the performance I was so mind blown and whenever I hear these songs now the performance comes flashing back to my mind and I get hyped lol.
I very much have to attend to this! It's a big part of understanding some routes they take with their music.
i appreciate your criticisms. Its new to see someone do this tastefully without getting racist.
yes!! i'm not a fan of bts and kpop in general, but its disgusting to see people resorting to racism without any valid criticisms
fr- i feel like if RM stumbled upon this video, i doubt he will but IF, he’d be taking this constructive criticism in a nice way cuz it’s actually helpful.
@Maria Rai literally, everyone, EVERYONE calls me ching chong because i listen to them
@Maria Rai yeah, like afirmative action for example.
“Their style just isn’t for me - and that’s fine”. It is. People like to attack people who don’t like BTS’ music despite giving it a shot and just are persistent that listening more and more will make them like BTS. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. And more people need to understand that. (Before I get hate- I’ve been an Army since Dark & Wild, I’ve been to 5 concerts and love their music so much so please don’t come at me calling me an Anti)

He was wrong about one thing: ARMYs appreciate the fact that he did his research and gave BTS a fair shake. His opinions are his own and we may disagree but we respect his opinion because it was incredibly well-informed.
Right! So many people judge them based off toxic fans or their most poular songs without taking the time to get to know the boys themselves or their music. Even if people don't like it they shouldn't just openly disrespect. Some people are just blatanly rude and racist and it's disgusting. They have a huge superiority complex when it comes to k-pop and it makes me upset because not all music in the industry is that bad. Believe it or not I wasn't really into k-pop either. I thought it was manufactured and fake, but when I took the time to research I ended up liking a lot more songs than I expected. I just think people shouldn't open their mouths unless they're actually educated. So many people speak off prejudice and it kinda stings.
yea thats really all we ask for honestly, sure theres the annoying few who will actually get upset but we just ignore them lol
Well said 👍
nah fuck him
Ryan's *wheeze* people like you are the reason why bts stans have a bad name
Even though he dislikes bts the fact he did so much research, looked into the lyrics, the message they’re trying portray and said everything he says in this video is subjective that’s impressive.
I can’t even listen to “we are bulletproof: the eternal” because it’s makes me so emotional... I’ve been a part of the ARMY family for several years now and hearing the song and listening to the lyrics make me realize that they’ve been through so much and they’ve grown to become many people’s inspiration and I’m honestly very thankful to them for being who they are
as an army, mad respect for this guy. they’re just not his taste and that is completely okay!! its bold of him to make such a straight forward video. he wasn’t rude about and took the time to learn about them and listen to their music and came to the conclusion their music just wasn’t his taste, and he wasn’t disrespectful towards them or their fans. i wish more people could react like this instead of being so harsh and ignorant!
you should see his other videos, he literally is so striaghtforward and honest and everything you want in a good commentary channel omg

He literally called them overrated

"Suga by himself.."

*I felt that.*

As an army, I think it's great to see someone actually give GOOD criticism that makes sense. I can see and understand how you feel, it's not the "OMG they are so ugly and their music is just noise" or "BTS is so perfect they can never do anything wrong omg my baby angels" that I see everywhere. I hope other armys don't hate on you.

YES PLEASE YES PLEASE YES PLEASEEEEEE
Finally a man that doesn’t just hate BTS simply because their BTS
they’re** sorry :(
RMthejamtheif yes, like a girl named Sunol at my school. Also Kani
No, most other people hate it because it promotes what is literally called a "Slave Contract"
which is what controls these people's lives, it's strict, inhumane and morally incorrect
people in Korea have spoken out about this, but their success is what keeps it going
[Jac̡҉k̕_ W҉̛̕o͞od̀́͞s̢͞] Slave contracts are illegal and idols can sue to get out of unfair/breached contracts. Maybe do a little more research than watching “the dark side of kpop” videos.

Ok but why isn’t anyone talking about the fact that D’Angelo is wearing denim on denim with a denim hat

As an army i appreciate all the research and agree with most of the points, especially the collabs and autotune. The only "bad" thing i can say about your analysis is that it physically hurt me when you said you didn't like moon but everyone has their preferences and i respect that. Thank you for the unbiased and reasonable commentary even though you dont like them
Wow someone who respects other people's opinions 👏 you get my like
@@emmyyy7363
I can understand why he didn't like it, Jin has better songs
It's ironic that, 5 months after this review, Rolling Stone Magazine named Moon the 5th Greatest Boy Band Song Of All Time. I guess we all have different tastes.💜🤔
There were also three other BTS songs on the list💜👍
As an army, moon isn't my thing either. My least favorite jin solo.
I'm so happy to hear someone else's disappointment with V's solo track. He has such a unique voice and I feel like Inner Child didn't do much to showcase it.
Exactly, i love his solos but his last solos just didn't do it for me
While singularity is a masterpiece
I love winter bear and sweet night tho
@@notwerkinginthishouse8634 Snow Flower is my favorite!
Inner child is my favorite v solo song. It's wild how different preferences can be.
When I hear of a "kpop react", this is exactly what I hope to see rather than those fake ones that pretend to enjoy and be loud and obnoxious. He's not hating on them, he's just genuinley expressing how he feels. No one has to like the song and shouldn't be forced too. Same goes to the opposite side. No need to throw uneccessary hate if you can't backup your reason for hating it. Other than that, I really enjoyed this video!
Pipipomu this!!
Pipipomu bro every reaction channels are reacting to bts and being so fake to get them views and🤑
Agreed
Preach sis
you said exactly how i feel! they are sooooo fake and it's kinda unfair how they gained so many subscribers
To be honest, I’m sad that we have people in this fandom who can’t take criticism. Your video is respectful, and it’s obvious that you put a lot of time into making it. It’s a shame that some people are immature and feel the need to “protect” bts, even when what you’re saying isn’t hateful. THANK YOU for making an in depth review with constructive criticism.
Sorry did u read the comments everyone her is respectful

nyfae I agree you can’t box all of us bts fans in
@@awaiting641 at the time I watched it there was no trouble new people have watched it and added their suggestions covering the good mannered comments
This was way more positive than you prefaced. 😅 that said, I appreciate your honesty because it was informed and respectful. And I agreed with quite a bit. Tbh, one of the things I dislike about fandoms (in general, but army is no exception) is the way Stans refuse to be critical. Artists are not perfect - personally or in their professional work. It’s ok to not love every single thing your fave does. It makes the appreciation more sincere. You’re not a fan? Could’ve fooled me!
Ngl I do respect his opinions atleast he isn’t like screaming or like “ they got no talent “ i do understand that theres some flaws with their songs but I still like it so respect to you dude 💜
as a bts stan this was so refreshing to watch. i’m so tired of all those other reactors who just blindly praise everything bts do bc they’re too afraid to give their honest opinion in fear of getting hate. thank you for doing your research and being respectful
rightttt
Yes yes yes
Yep same
Thank u thank u. I literally never watch reaction channel things because it always seems that their excitement is exaggerated and fake, but D'Angelo is not afraid to get his honest opinion out In which I'd watch this over any reaction any day.
Amazing Appleness righttt, i feel like he’s so genuine and just a really likeable person in general . i can tell he puts a lot of hard work and effort into all of his videos so i really appreciate him for that
masssive respect for not being racist or ignorant and actually researching the members and lyrics and getting staright to the point.
I agree with you but you shouldn’t respect someone for “not being racist” that should be the basis.
Saitama Trash it's surprising how many people are racist these days that now we give respect to someone just for not doing something like being racist
AD I agree, if people could be just a bit more open minded I feel like everyone would be able to experience new things and enjoy things that you never thought of, but since not everyone is like that, there's definitely trashy people like Shallon Lester for example who completely ignored their actual music and was just referring them as women and saying other things. But I really appreciate D'Angelo for not doing that 🙂.
Yes, with BTS is important for all albums to research the story and all to understand their music :) Also since it is a story and the story has a narrative that is usually in groups of 3 albums, it's hard to understand their work if you listen to them randomly.
@Perla Lopez Gomez How can I say this... there is literally no step they take without someone having something to complain about. As for copy is not entirely true, in art is acceptable as long as it's not exactly the same (the design is what they used).
I really loved his honesty. I also liked how he complimented Jungkook for his vocals like yes he really deserves to be complimented cause he's the main vocalist after all. Nowadays lot of people are criticizing and hating Jungkook for no reason. Well yes I know all of them are jealous of him bcoz he's good at literally everything and may be far better than their biases so just to satisfy their ego they are doing so. But I really loved how he mentioned facts - "This song is just Jungkook flexing his vocals." umm... he indeed has one of the best vocals in the world.
Agreed, but not all of them are haters or jealous, some people simply don't like his vocals/me included, which is okay
I love how he sings with emotions but his voice seems average to me
Exactly..I'm his fan cos of his vocals
“we cant understand you, beacuse you sound like a robot my guy”

@@AndrewsMotivation How you know he autotune? Please dont judge people, it doesnt mean he sing well means he autotune. Also, what about the live performances though? So then your saying other people that sings well like taylor swift, ariana grande, lady gaga and the others use autotune? Ok, yes, maybe he uses a little bit autotune, but i think its probably a problem with his mic? You cant believe he uses autotune all the time. Not trying to be rude and toxic but that person was being a little rude tbh.
I remember watching this video not knowing much about BTS. After watching, I listened to some of their music, and I started to enjoy it more. Now I’m definitely a fan! They put in a lot of work for their performances. They are great artists.
Glad you’re open minded, may I ask what you’re favorite songs/albums are after years?
I really liked how raw and honest this review was, how he already did his research and knew what they're about before just jumping into the video. I was initially expecting immature reactions and ignorant commentaries, however he was really respectful and went into full depth as to why he liked or disliked a track. Best unbiased K-pop review imo
He said they were overrated and he does not like them without listening to their discography and you think he was respectful ?
@@rosieblue7447
Just because he thinks they are overrated doesn't mean he is rude
@@rosieblue7447 you should finish the video before criticizing him
As a BTS fan It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone give real criticism without being racist and disrespectful. Learning their names, understanding their strong and weak points, and going in and reading their lyrics to better understand the song really warms my heart.

@@michikonakamura8216 he said that in the beginning tho .. and on Twitter ..
@@michikonakamura8216 yeah
A bit of clarification. For people who don't know why Halsey was only in the song for a bit. It is because it is their lead single and when they sing the song live for music shows Halsey can not be in every show performing with them, so the original song doesn't feature her as much as you think. But I'm pretty sure they have a different version where Halsey sings all the English bits of the songs. It was more of a fun collab I guess and it's something that I wouldn't regret happening. On feat Sia is a different story however, you've already got the original song but they added another one that sounds literally the same as the original but with someone in the back. Also for songs like Dionysus, honestly packed with *Auto-Tune* but it is better to do research on the actual song itself apart from just lyrics (I'm happy that you at least done the lyrics). The Auto-Tune was to fit the concept of the song but sometimes it is better without it, BTS doesn't usually use Auto-Tune when live though. About the song Dionysus, is from Greek mythology and he is the god of wine and party. There are many other things about the song and other songs but I will not be saying everything. Overall really liked the review
Man all these comments praising the bare minimum of not being racist, ignorant and doing a bit of basic research for a music review. It’s rlly clear how badly BTS have been treated by westerners if you think this review was the best one out there.
edit: He can dislike their music and them all he wants, that's not what this comment is about. Just pointing out that it's very telling how badly BTS are treated in general for his mediocre review of their album be praised that much in the comments.

The same "quality" he shifted on last year.
See this is proof that MOST armys only crave an honest opinion. We don't need everybody to love BTS. If you put in the effort to correctly learn about them and still feel like you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. We respect that you at least looked into it instead of just going with the majority of haters who don't even listen to BTS.
You said it right
@@Levyxx okay but ngl though I'm surprised the comment section is as readable as it is? I mostly see a lot of people either saying they don't agree but still respect his opinion which is....pretty okay as it goes since he did have some criticisms that can be a bit subjective (aka just we have different tastes and opinions and that's like...fine?)
I haven't seen a lot of people just mindlessly attacking him though, but the comments saying they disagree and explaining why is to be expected
Love Leads um~we don't agree with some of his point doesn't mean we hate him or need him to accept what we r thinking. We r not saying that he can't make these points either. We r just telling our pov on some of the points he made based on our knowledge as a fan of bts. He doesn't really know bts as much as us, he might have just listen to one or two of their recent album, and he obviously can't understand why some songs sound this way. But we have listen to literally every single song they've released and had already analyzed what kind of style is a bts style, what is a habit they have when they are making a song, and what their actual talent is. We disagree with some of the points that he's making and explain why we disagree. We got a right to diagree right? I don't see the problem of this. If we don't say anything and agree with everything he saids, I don't think we can call our self fans of bts anymore😂
rather than an honest opinion id rather them keep to themselves and not insert their opinion. thanks for saying MOST. its Some tho.
@@Levyxx he didnt do complete research though, he thinks that Filter, 0:0, Boy with luv, Moon and other songs are basic, and they all have deep meanings.

Chris it’s literally a joke it’s not that deep. I think the whole context of the comment was that they didn’t expect him to be so fond over jungkook.
Chris it’s a joke 😭
That books fire tho
I would have bet my ass if anyone's got him, it'd be Jimin, because let's be honest, Jimin collects men like ARMY collect photocards, but I'm sure as hell not complaining about him liking JK xD
d’angelo can I please beg you to listen to LOONA? They have an entire universe told through each music video and every song is versatile and different from one another. BBC (their company) debuted one girl at a time and then put them into subunits until they reached their final debut as 12 members. Each solo song is so entirely different from the next and their composition is incredible.
Not to mention once again, their universe. It gets pretty complex but there’s 3 subunits and each subunit is on a separate plane in the LOONAVERSE. 1/3 is on earth, Odd Eye Circle is on middle earth, and YYXY is on the other side of the Möbius strip in Eden. The story goes from there.
I’d rather you listen to each members debut solo and their song Butterfly rather than an entire album, I feel those are the most defining parts of LOONA. :)

@@mm.m25 honey they already are 💀
I actually really like this video. Because even though knowing he doesn’t like their sound in general, he went in with an open mind and did point out things he liked. Like the song Ugh. It was him just praising the song. And as someone who just graduated high school…a B- is a grade I would gladly take. Maybe would make some corrections, but I would be happy with it.
One thing I think is important to remember. This album is a continuation from Map of the Soul: Persona. So if I’m not mistaken, about the first half of the songs were on that album and the second half are new songs.
Fun fact: Jungkooks high notes in ON were actually written for a girls vocal range and RM was unsure whether Jungkook would be bale to pull it off. He did.
Wait, why was it written for a female vocal range if there are no women in the band?
M T maybe they were gonna collab with a female singer but it fell through

I agree, it should be common and normal. People shouldn't have to be thanked for decent normal behavior lol But I think thanking people for it is a good way to call attention to the fact that it's a problem in the first place. It really a breath of fresh air to watch this video 😤😀✌💜
Yeah but any person hating bts will end up talking about their race in a negative undertone I mean just look at twomad's comments on his video about army attacking him on twitter, racist little shits on there
YES
Why are they thanking him for giving fair criticism? Without racist remarks? Because obviously a LOT of people that don't like BTS seem to be racist towards them in their "criticism.
a lot of people in their reviews don't give fair criticism and call the music bad bc they're asian and explicitly call it "asian crap" so i think this video gave really fair, respectful criticism based on the music and not their race 💜
When a non-BTS fan pronounces names better than some actual BTS fans. Color me impressed, like damn. Excellent effort sir.

Just saw this review and I really loved how you handled it. I don't really need every person to like bts, but at least show them respect as artists. Even though you're not a fan I appreciate your criticisms since you gave justification on what you didn't like.
The way he says Jungkook is so satisfying
