Generation BTS: All The Albums

Friends, listeners, Army, the moment has finally arrived. Please behold the first instalment of our review of Dark & Wild! As you will understand from the intro we actually recorded this ages ago, but unfortunately solo albums and editing issues got in the way of its release, BUT that does mean we get to tell you our opinions on Jungkook's Seven just in time for the release of Golden, so that feels timely. We will of course also be trying to fit in a Golden reaction episode in the next few weeks but we'll have to see if it comes between the Dark & Wild parts or not... Anyway, in this one we also cover the first three songs of Dark & Wild, and discuss unrequited or one-sided angsty teenage love, strange intro music, as well as some very dramatic and some potentially mildly problematic lyrics. We also take time to go over the worst of the worst in terms of styling and hairdos across the MVs and performances for Danger, and some slightly weird/cute moments (depending on your take) in the MV and dance practices for War of Hormone. Who had the worst hairdo in Danger? Who was the best cosplayer in the Halloween War of Hormone dance practice? Listen to find out our takes!If you want to let us know your thoughts on the above or you want to get in touch for any other reason, you can do so by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

Hi Army friends! We're sorry this episode is so late, we had some not small editing issues :( Anyway, please behold our reaction thoughts to everyone's favourite most beautiful boy in the world, BTS V's first album Layover. In traditional style for this 5th solo album produced by our boys, we look back on the promotional content we recieved in the lead-up to the album's release, and fawn over the many many beautiful concept photos. We talk all things Yeontan, beautiful but mysterious MVs and how they fit together, fashionable outfits, sequins, fan meetings, interviews, appearances and the like, and again we manage to touch on the importance of always appreciating what we have whilst we have it and remembering how privileged we are to exist at the same time as Kim Taehyung. As always we also share our best looks, initial favourites, our choices for the dreaded skip (spoiler: we all agree for once!) and our grades out of seven (spoiler: on this we do not agree). We hope you enjoy!If you would like to join us in telling Natasha she's WRONG in terms of her handsomeness rankings, you want to share your head/heart score or you want to get in touch for any other reason, you can do so by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

We made it before the end of the summer guys! Welcome to the Festa special part three :) In this one, we reminisce over years gone by and reflect on what must have been quite a strange time for our seven boys, including a lot of uncertainty and longing to meet Army again and riding bicycles whilst being happy and sad, and feeling free but existential. We also revisit the songs that have gotten us through the last couple of years of reduced access to OT7 content, and we express our gratitude and appreciation for the general wonderful concept that is Festa, a yearly occasion where we get to celebrate being Army. Isn't that wonderful! We also finally get give out some awards in this episode, for the best Festa song, Festa skip, Festa MVP etc., and we have both strong agreement and strong disagreement across the categories on this occasion... Listen to find out our takes and let us know if you agree!You can find the links to the videos and content we talked about here.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 (we'll just need to figure out the scheduling around a Layover reaction episode)!

Hello Army! Sorry for the delay in getting this out first of all, we were back living it up in Korea (and only occasionally crying over not getting tickets for Yoongi's Final concerts). If you want to see what we got up to, please check out our Instagram (details below). Natasha is still there so will keep updating regularly. Anyway, in this episode we discuss the next set of Festa songs, released between 2017 and 2019, and it is a real rollercoaster of emotions relating to friendships, haters, card games and dead pets, among other things. We also discuss the existence of a Namjoon/Taehyung ship name (TaeJoon seems the obvious choice, right? Please write in if you have thoughts!) and the dumpling incident*, and we take time to fawn over RM's vocals before passing some quite harsh judgment on the rapping abilities of the vocal line. Sorry guys, we can't rap either! *In this discussion we did mistake Jimin for the person who wanted to eat the dumplings right away and Taehyung for the person that wanted to wait, when in fact it was the other way around, so we apologise and will do better in the future! As we have also learnt from the BTS book, Tae had his reasons!If you would like for Leanne to review and rate your level of swagger or you want to get in touch for any other reason, you can do so by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

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 :)Get in touch with us by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

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.

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.If you want to speak to someone about the content of this episode or if you want to get in touch for any other reason, you can do so by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dming us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

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?

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!Get in touch with us by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

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!Let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, 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! 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 :)You can find the links to the videos and content we talked about here.Borahae! x Hosted on Acast.

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.Let us know your thoughts and your favourites by email at GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com, or dm us on Insta @generationbts_, Twitter @generationbts_ and TikTok @generationbts_.

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!Follow us on Insta @generationbts_ to see Natasha's excellent reels and other episode/content updates, or email us at GenerationBTSAllTheAlbums@gmail.com if you want to get in touch!

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?
