we need to talk about dark & wild and why it& #39;s one of bts& #39; best albums (bUt tHaT& #39;s My OpInIoN) : a track by track messy thread
intro : what am I to you

a relationship is very well thought of
- namjoon& #39;s lyricism, namjoon& #39;s delivery, kim namjoon himself : beautiful, magnificent I& #39;m in love and it& #39;s MY fault he caught me slippin& #39;
- really serves its purpose as an intro (sets the overall mood very well)

danger :
- the beatboxing that transitions seamlessly into an actual beat at the beginning,,, yup. those 10 seconds alone are enough to tell that you& #39;re about to hear a banger
- the ANGST of the lyrics represents so well the inner turmoil that comes with first relationships

- jungkook& #39;s vocal tone really shines in this song, the slight extra raspiness in the chorus adds a lot
-such a good title track honestly
- a wonderful fusion of hiphop (808 beat) and rock elements (guitar riffs)

- you know it& #39;s about to get down when you hear this brass motif at the beginning you just KNOW
- why does the chorus have to be so catchy???

hip hop while/hip hop lover :
- the instrumental is very reminiscent of a late 2000& #39;s hip hop track to me somehow
- rapline& #39;s verses and vocal line& #39;s choruses alternate so well!! like rapline& #39;s great delivery combined with vocal line& #39;s smooth vocals is really bts& #39; trademark

- current obsession : hoseok& #39;s verse and its instrumental (that little piano riff is *chef& #39;s kiss*)
- very touching lyrics about how rapline& #39;s found their passion for hiphop but could be applied to how the whole group found their passion for music

rain:
- lofi r&b jazzy coffee shop song. let me explain
- jungkook& #39;s muted vocals + those rain sound effects at the beginning
- everything about this song is soft: from the members& #39; soft sung/soft spoken delivery to the subtle but meticulous instrumental

- "rain" RAN and passed the baton to "still with you" there I said it. jungkook& #39;s voice fits this type of song so well

interlude : what are you doing now
- a very groovy, funky instrumental with prominent bass and synth (?) riffs and heavenly vocals
- 42 seconds of pure bliss
- i understand why it& #39;s so short but I& #39;m also mad at how short it is you feel me??

could you turn off you cell phone :
- a very underrated song I think
- I really love the themes of longing for true human connection and how social media affects those connections (doesn& #39;t I& #39;m gonna turn off my cellphone any time soon tho)

- the use of sound effects really reinforces bangtan& #39;s storytelling in the song, it makes it even more lively and immersive
- the bass line of the chorus is absolutely gorgeous as wel
- i dislike boomer discourse but when it& #39;s bangtan it& #39;s okay

embarrassed/blanket kick
- this song is the embodiment of puppy love, teenage crushes, nervousness before a first date or excitement after a first date that went well (either way you can& #39;t fall asleep because of it)
- the first guitar riff has a strong effect on me

- the trumpet that accentuates the chorus his such a great choice (subtle but without it the chorus wouldn& #39;t be as memorable)

24/7 heaven:
- this is explicitly a first date song and I think it perfectly captures that
- the chorus is *wait for it* heavenly
- jungkook using scat at the beginning,,, yup. he& #39;s secretly a jazz singer (his harmonies on yoongi& #39;s verse are something else as well)

look here:
- so so catchy
- vocal line& #39;s malicious, flirty, almost soft vocals were probably responsible for some breakups at the time
- namjoon& #39;s verse probably caused a majority of the divorces in sk back in 2014

- the brass& #39; chord progression here is a great choice once again (in risk of repeating myself here, the subtle additions often make a song even more memorable)
- i really love the playfulness that emits from this song

2nd grade :
- this song is a huge flex, a show off, each member is literally rubbing his talent in your face
- whoever produced this (pdogg. it& #39;s pdogg.) probably had a checklist of what elements to include and I LOVE that
- namjoon& #39;s impeccable lyricism : checked

outro : do you think it makes sense?
- the instrumental in this song is incredible : the clear synth pads, the fanfare sounding drums and the subtle brass motif go so well together
- vocal line are asking me to "explain it" in such a beautiful way I might just do that

final overall thoughts:
dark & wild is a very cohesive, well thought of body of work. it& #39;s also a very impressive release when you think about how this is bangtan& #39;s first full length album
it& #39;s also musically interesting as it blends elements from hiphop for the most part+

+ but also from r&b music, rock music and jazz music even.
it takes a common lyrical theme as teenage romance and turns it into a complex story about unrequited love.
