Generation BTS: All The Albums

Surpriseeee! And we hope you had a very happy Festa season. We did as well because we got to review some beautiful music from our seven wonders! We wanted to do a 10th anniversary special and thought it would be nice to mark the occasion by going through the anniversary songs, but we wanted to include Take Two so it's out a little bit after actual Festa. We hope you still enjoy! In this one we discuss the first three efforts, including a sweary introduction, a slightly strange-but-catchy pre-debut throwback and a very loving Namkook ballad. The remainder of the anniversary releases (we chose one per year) will be released in the next couple of parts :)

Finally, for anyone patiently waiting for our review of Dark & Wild, which we promised you in our last couple of episodes, we have started recording it and it should be out next (unless of course we get JJK1/KTH1)!

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.

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) !

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).

Hello Army!

Sorry about the delay on this one, we have been globe trotting and had some audio issues, but welcome back to the final part of You Never Walk Alone! In this one we discuss heavenly Hopekook harmonies, beautiful but underrated songs, sneaky Demian references and, randomly, whether the boys are wearing cologne (you'll have to listen to get the context for that one)... Very excitingly we also give out our awards for the OSTs, the YNWA new songs and the whole album in general (including the songs from Wings), and let's just say there are some CONTROVERSIAL opinions. Which one of us has some hate to share towards a solid fandom favourite? You'll have to listen to find out!

Finally, to anyone waiting for a D-Day reaction episode, it is coming, but with us having gone to the tour we ended up recording later than normal so that we could talk about that as well. Make sure you get all updates by subscribing and following our social media, and thanks so much for bearing with us :)

Hey Army! Sorry this is a little late but we were away in New York seeing Yoongi's tour, which was amazing, but we have been dealing with serious post-concert blues ever since :( But now we are back with part two of our You Never Walk Alone series, also known as the first part where we discuss the actual album, which is very exciting! In this one we obviously go very long on Spring Day, the lyrics, the MV and the theories, and we also make time to fawn over our fluffy boys in all of their knitwear and pastel hair colours. We then move on to Not Today and discuss its merits as a social justice anthem, motivational gym song, BTS Club night banger, bomber jacket exhibition theme tune and possible national anthem for the Republic of Borahae. We also have hot takes to share on the choreo for both of the songs, so make sure you listen and let us know whether you agree!

Thanks also to everyone who came to see us in New York, we met so many lovely Armies and it really made the trip extra special!

Surprise!!! Welcome back to Generation BTS! As you will know if you listened to our previous full album review, we are due to talk about the repackaged version of Wings, You Never Walk Alone, this time, so apologies if this first part might seem a bit random, Seeing as that album only has three previously unreleased songs however, we decided to add on a little bonus discussion on the Original Soundtracks the boys (read the vocal line except Jungkook) have released for various K-Dramas. Please join us as we share our takes on the songs, fumble our way through trying to relate the themes of the songs to the dramas they accompany despite not having watched all of them, and take some time to hail the undisputed king of OSTs Kim Taehyung, who let's be honest is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this particular set of songs. This episode is a bit of a chaotic one but we hope you enjoy!

Also, please do get in touch if you are going to Yoongi's tour in New York and would like to say hi! We're going on the 26th and 29th of April and could not be more excited :)

Face is here and we're here to talk about it! In this one we give you our initial takes on everything that happened in the lead-up to Jimin's official solo debut, including the name (spoiler alert: our feelings are mixed), the impressively deep concept, the hard and soft photos, the autotune, the naked look, the MVs and the many, many references. We also give our very initial takes on the album, the concept favourite looks, favourite songs and even an initial skip, which was particularly difficult with this one due to the album's overall appeal. Jimin has offered us a lot to unpack, so despite this aready long initial review we also of course intend to do a full lyrics review once the album is spun in on the normal schedule.

Hi guyssss, sorry it's a week late but welcome to the FINAL episode of the final school era album review (Leanne’s very excited)! There’s a bit less romance in this one, but instead we discuss padded jacket trends, teens v young adults, dirty clothes, everyday heroics, trampolines, and letting your worries go, before the romance makes a swift return towards the end. 

This is also the episode in which we give out our very exciting awards. There are a few rogue picks in this one but also a few categories on which we are very much in an agreement, and someone might have done a clean sweep… listen to find out who!

Welcome to the lovey-dovey loveliness of Skool Luv Affair episode 2! Except in this one we also talk about haters and existential fears (it is a BTS album after all).

In the first part of the episode we discuss Bangtan's chats with Bang PD, their ideal types and a girl as smooth as salad. We take a sizeable middle chunk to swoon over the most beautifully happy song with sad lyrics and the boys' beautiful plans for a single day of romance, before suffering through Leanne's unfortunate take on the MV (booo!). In the latter part we learn that is is ok to take a break whilst chasing your dream, and that haters unfortunately are gonna hate, even if you do have more pens than they have fans.

Hi guysssss, so it happened again... Welcome to Skool Luv Affair - Part One! We think we'll pivot to this format for the longer/full length albums going forward, but hopefully that's a good thing because it means more episodes (yay!).

In this episode we will discuss the lovey-dovey dream of an album that is Skool Luv Affair, the last instalment of the Skool trilogy. There are parties on bodies, baby shoes, confessions, first dates, hopeful love and Bangtan Style (it's Hip Hop, FYI). We also talk through our problematic fave Boy in Luv, which contains some highlights; including the Lion King, Tae's growl, JK's cuteness and RM's confidence, and some lowlights including most of the MV... What was our least favourite part? Find out in this episode!
