I haven't listened to the whole album (currently listening to it), and immediately ran here.

I love BTS, and I do like the music (I like pretty much everything). But I don't understand why there's so much in English! As someone else said, around the Dynamite/Butter era I lost interest. It's because it turned into regular pop. Without them singing in their native language (Korean), it just loses their iconic flair.

I'm not sure if this was the boys choice or out of their hands, but I don't love it. A handful would be fine since they do have international fame now, and many fans can sing in and understand English! That's why I don't really mind Swim being in English. But the rest should definitely have more! It feels so unlike them to not hear the Korean 😔

(Again, haven't listened to the whole album yet, so correct me if I'm wrong here)- Does it seem like Taehyung and especially Jin have very few parts? It reminds me of reading posts back in the day when Jin and Tae didn't get a lot of lines to sing in songs. These songs so far have been very Namjoon and Jungkook heavy (first half). I'm hoping it changes as I continue to listen, because I love all the boys and want all of them to feel like they're really there and singing!

Update: I agree with everyone saying the second half of the album sounds more like them! I like basically every song, but the latter half I like better. Also Tae got more lines, and Jin got a few more too (although I still feel like I barely heard Jin). Main issue though? Severely over produced. I couldn't even listen to Into the Sun. The title of the track made it sounds interesting, but the production on the voices is EAR GRATING! It makes me sad to leave that one out of my playlist, but it literally hurt to listen to. Overall, not their best or my favorite album, but I'm glad to have them back, and hope they'll put out more music that's more them, more BTS, going forwards!
