Generation BTS: All The Albums

Annyeong Army! We are back to talk about the absolute masterpiece that is D-Day AND our experience on the incredible D-Day tour. Now that most people have presumably already seen it (if you are planning on catching the encore performances in Seoul in August and don't want to be spoilered, please skip the first 30 minutes of this episode) we thought it would be safe to let you know our thoughts, so in this episode we talk through everything including the organisation, event setup, stage design, VCRs, set list and of course we have endless praise and appreciation for our little kitty genius. He rapped, he sang, he played the piano, he played the guitar, he spoke several languages, he mesmerised, moved and entertained an entire audience on his own, and he performed his little heart out, who else can do it like him?? Thank you Yoongi for a truly amazing show!

Thank you also to all the armies we met around the concerts, you were all lovely! Hopefully some of you might have joined us as listeners now??

In this one we do also give out our initial awards for the best bit of content around the album, our favourite Min Yoongi look, the best song, our initial skip and so on, so there are plenty of spicy takes to look out for in the latter half of the episode! Let us know if you agree with any of our picks (or if you want to send some words of discouragement to ***someone*** who continues their rap line hate (although only on an initial basis!). We will of course also be doing a lyrics review in due course, but we will leave that for when the album is spun in on the normal wheel schedule.

Get in touch with us by emailing [email protected], or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_. We've also recently joined YouTube @generationbts so you can follow us there too if you want!

You can find the links to the videos and content we talked about here.

Finally, we are also planning on doing a special to celebrate 10 years of BTS, so that should be out in the next month or so! For anyone patiently waiting for our review of Dark & Wild, which we promised you in our last episode (and again in this one), we promise we will get to that next (unless of course we get JJK1/KTH1) !

Merry Christmas Army and we wish you all a very Happy New Year! We've finally finished Dark & Wild! A project six(ish) months in the making has finally come to an end, just in time for the last days of 2023. Praise the merciful Namjesus during this most wonderful time of the year!

In this episode we discuss the last four songs on the album, which includes some hot takes on the merits of starting a song with Shoobidoobababa, RM's baseless confidence as exemplified by his 'teenie weenie mini, you're a bikini and martini' rap, the trials and tribulations of being an idol in your second year (aka a sophomore/so4more), and whether any of this makes any sense. It is also time to hand out some awards for this very long album, and while we disagreed a lot, we did agree to take the opportunity to challenge ourselves to cut a few more songs than normal! Kristine is sentimental, Leanne is unhappy about it, and Natasha is a bit in her feels as well, so please listen to find out why :)

Please keep in mind also that we recorded this a while ago, so some of the enlistment references aren't quite up to date, but we've recorded some more recent thoughts and hope to get that out soon. Apologies also for some parts of the recording being a bit patchy, there was quite a lot of background noise where Natasha was especially, but we have recently switched recording software to hopefully minimise the amount of issues and the amount of time it takes to edit (please cross your fingers!) and thanks for bearing with us!

If you want to let us know your thoughts on the episode or you want to get in touch for any other reason, you can do so by emailing [email protected], or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, or TikTok @generationbts_, or tweet us on X @generationbts_.

Finally, for anyone who has read this far we have recorded a Golden reaction and End of Year Special, and they should hopefully be out shortly if the new software performs as expected, but we decided to prioritise getting this out first. Make sure you get all updates by subscribing and following our social media :)

Borahae and hope you're having an excellent festive season! Stream Closer than This! x

Hello Army! Happy Festa Month :) We hope everyone has been celebrating well for the 10th anniversary, and if anyone managed to go out to Seoul we are very jealous... We are back again with our first thoughts on the masterpiece that is D-Day. It's a bit later than normal because we were lucky enough to go out to New York to see the tour, and then we didn't want to spoiler it, so part two where we talk about the tour will be out later. In this one however we talk about all the content we got around the album release, as well as the D-Day documentary!

Trigger warning: self-harm, drug abuse, trauma, depression. Our Yoongi keeps us busy talking about a lot of big topics, including mental health, loneliness and trauma, so please note that there are parts of this episode that might be upsetting, thus it may not be suitable for younger listeners or for those for whom these topics might be triggering (topics include traumatic events, depression, self-harm, drug abuse). We have included some resources below for anyone who have been affected by the topics brought up in either this episode or in the content released around the album.

Army! The wait is over, Dark & Wild part two is finally ready for you to listen and enjoy. We do apologise for the delay, if you have been following our Instagram you will know that we hosted our very first live event the other week and that took up a lot of time that we would have otherwise spent editing. If you came to the event, thank you very much and we hope you had an excellent time! We will be looking to hopefully do more events in 2024, so please follow our socials for all the updates. :)

Anyway, in this second instalment of our review of Dark & Wild we discuss quite a big chunk of what is a very long album, full of some deep and reflected songs, some super cool anti-hater songs, some cute songs and some songs that definitely belong in the 'random' bracket of the BTS discography. Through these songs we hear from the rap line about what drew them to the hip hop way of life, about writing songs about not being able to write songs and about making bed waves by kicking your blanket after having said something stupid to the person you like. The girl who ignores them (aka the central relationship/theme of the album), comes up only once in these seven (!) songs, but that does mean that there's time for some choice words about phones, as they are noisy and distracting when you're having a meal and interrupt first kisses, and iPhones in particular make the haters think they're cooler than they are. If you absolutely must have a phone however, please make sure follow the wise words of Min Yoongi and stick to; 'no iPhone, only Samsung'.

Finally, for anyone who has read this far we hope to get part three ready asap, but we may need to make time for a Golden reaction and Christmas special in between.
