[BTS] The 1st Thread - Welcome, first time with BTS?

[rainbow_smile]

^ Yup, same haha I'm looking forward to the full song, it sounds nice so far!

Yesterday BTS won Kids’ Choice Awards Favorite Global Music Star! (And John Cena came through and said J-hope and RM are his biases.)

It’s kinda funny that the last time I voted for any Kids Choice Award was back around 1999, and 10 years later here I am as a grown ass adult voting for kids shows.

FACE YOURSELF is out! You can listen to it on Spotify

Don't Leave me is sooooo good. And I quite like intro and outro. Didn't care that much about Let Go though.

[susiowong]

^ I'm not usually a fan of their Japanese releases, but Don't Leave Me is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised to find how much I enjoy it. I'm not being biased, but Jimin and Jungkook's voices are the highlight of the track for me.

And FACE YOURSELF is now eligible for Platinum in Japan. GET IT BOYS!

[rainbow_smile]

They released something!



Also, from what i've read, they're not just eligible but are already certified

[rainbow_smile]

The new album is out, along with the Fake Love MV!



You can listen to the album on spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2jJfnAZE6IG3oYnUv2eCj4

I’m 3 weeks late, but anpanman, outro: tear, 134340, so what, and airplane pt.2 are still Major Bops.

[rainbow_smile]

Airplane pt. 2 snatched all wigs. Anpanman and Love Maze are probably my least favourite songs, although I still like them. I love the album asa whole! And the outro is sooo much better than Outro : Her imo

Ddaeng is a bop too

I'm listening to previous years' Festa songs and So Far Away (Suga, JK and Jin ver.) is making me so emo. It's beautiful.

Ugh your mind is so powerful (minus the anpanman dig but i’ll forgive you because you said you still like it).

I enjoyed Her, but I think Tear as a whole is more versatile and the superior one in this series so far.

I love Magic Shop more than Anpanman

I think both fit their respective concepts tbh, but yeah, Tear is definitely more versatile in genre and lyrics. Which makes sense, because it's the "Culmination"/"Plot twist" part of the story iirc.

[susiowong]

^ Speaking of Magic Shop, it is criminally underrated. And also the lyrics are incredibly beautiful and sweet? Like wtf I’m judging ya’ll, it’s at least mid-tier on this album.

And I might be a little biased with Tear because I live for emotan.

It's not like it's in your top 5 neither haha Well, that's the thing: people tend to not care much about mid-tier and lower. Besides, the fandom seems to hate EDM.

It does have a special place in my heart though, I love it. I'm proud of Kook for producing it. And the lyrics are super-sweet too.

Emotan yas!!

[susiowong]

^ weeeeell even though it’s not top 5 for me, it’s not near the bottom either. (although even my least favorites I actually like too! There’s not a single song on the album I dislike, which I can’t say is true for all their other albums and minis.)

boo on the EDM haters.

[rainbow_smile]

Yeah I love all songs, but tbh I also loved all songs on Her and WINGS haha Some less than others, but still. Oh, HYYH pt.1 too, if we don't count the Skit

[susiowong]

I made a long, detailed comment but then my phone decided to crap out on me and I lost it. Guess it’s time for a new phone too

Tl;dr I agree for the most part but I only liked about half the songs on WINGS although I think I’m in the minority. also Fake Love fell to #71 on hot 100 in its 4th week. But it’s still charting as high as Mic Drop Remix did in its 2nd week, so here’s hoping it lasts as long as MDR did. (But with Beyonce and Kanye releasing new music, it’s probably not wise to get our hopes up )

[rainbow_smile]

I'm judging you, WINGS was a masterpiece

They're not mainstream yet, so it's still super impressive for their level haha They'll probably keep dropping though, there's only this much we can do with just our fandom power

[susiowong]

^ it’s ok, you can judge me. WINGS seems to be considered their magnum opus by a lot of fans. But imo, that title belongs to Dark&Wild

With the streaming parties and love going on between ARMY and the Beyhive right now, I’m hoping it helps keep their position on the chart, or at least helps its lifespan out.

[rainbow_smile]

BTS will have a comeback on August 24!

I'm so excited that ayu's and BTS comeback will be in the same month

[ayu_ready?]

they have already got 1.5 million pre-orders for the upcoming album

[rainbow_smile]

^ thanks for the info, this is awesome

They're saying it'll have 7 new songs, but i'm wondering if it includes remixes and stuff, like on Young Forever..
