this album review is late because i had to perform some dark magic to stop the video from instantly getting copyright claimed by bighit entertainment LOL there's literally 4 entire minutes worth of BTS' music in this video because i wanted to show you guys the various parts i was talking about. i somehow accomplished that . . . scary. anyway, if i were to do another K-pop review as someone who doesn't care about K-pop, what group would you recommend?

" it's basically just jungkook flexing his vocals for 4 minutes straight but he deserves it ? " i wheeze bc of how true it is

So basically. He didn’t like Map of the soul: Persona. But he liked Map or the soul: 7.

“I wish we could get Suga by himself” Who’s gonna tell him

"basically, scary bts is the best bts" omg i stan this quote

"these people are talented enough to not use autotune" DAMN IT SAY IT LOUDER

Okay... but the fact that he did more research than American interviewers

I will never stop saying this: *black swan should've been the title track*

I am a huge BTS fan- but I'd rather watch true reactions like this one, rather than fake reactions for views

“Its hilarious...basically just two grown men singing like a love friendship song to each other,,, what I’m trying to say here is like i literally love this song so much” u had me in the first half ngl

He’s actually how a non bts fan is supposed to be like, not just offending their looks, he doesn’t call them names or anything like that, he just doesn’t like their music but thx for being honest

To the "army" who disliked the video because they felt attacked. He did his research on all the songs. He searched up the lyrics, knew the backgrounds of each song, the members' vocals and names. He didn't 'slander' the songs, it was more like constructive criticism. Yes, he did say he disliked some parts of a song but he gave a clear (and understandable) reason as to why. There are always going to be people to dislike their songs. We are ALLOWED to dislike their songs. As an army myself, I can confidently say that not all of their songs are 100% hits. I like some songs more than others. That's based on preference, and feeling attacked by it most likely means that you aren't being truthful to yourself. He was being honest and for some of the things he said, I could agree on as well. Thank you for this respectful review.

Best review by a non kpop fan ever

The fact, that a youtuber that doesn't even like bts does his research better than interviewers

“I might not be a BTS fan but I’m not gonna be completely ignorant” that was hot ngl.

"basically jungkook flexing his vocals for 4 minutes straight" i agree- and It was amazing lol

no wonder why there are a lot of kpop fans here that respect him, ladies and gentlemen, we respect this guy and protect him at all costs from stupid people that just want attentions when they criticize him for being too cool to kpop fans

He didn’t insult their looks, ethnicity, language, or accents of any member, he just did constructive criticism and I love it.. not being into their music is a totally ok thing, and only toxic army would think otherwise. Anyways stream “BE”🏃🏾‍♀️💨💨

“I wish we could just get SUGA by himself”. bruh lemme set you up with some Agust D broo

As an old BTS fan, i find this video hilarious, respect bro, u did not hate on there looks, u did not hate on them, you criticized the music and u were honest about it, okay i just love the way u deal with this and yeah, also yeah ON ft. SIA isn't something we like either so go on.

As an ARMY with many ARMY friends, I’m constantly surrounded by people who have little to no criticism whatsoever towards the boys. I’ve had other ARMYs get mad at me for disliking some of their songs, someone was even upset with me for disliking ON (feat. Sia) which I thought everyone hated. It was really refreshing to get an outside perspective of their talent and all of the criticism was really valid and well thought-out.

why are you guys thanking him for not being racist about it?? it’s literally common courtesy to be respectful of any race. let’s normalize it pls.

“ i wish we could get suga by himself” may i introduce to you.... AgustD

People who don’t like BTS should act like him.

8:39 filter is actually a really dark song beyond its beyond sexy execution that discusses the nuances and troubles of going out of your way to constantly impress and win someone over because your version of you isn't ideal. jimin asking "is it still not enough?" and saying "you'l be wanting only me, because you are the one who made me" is actually very jarring and eye opening as we look into how he only version of him people accept and love and want is the one they've created themselves. that itself is actually really difficult to deal with and face and the way he was able to build that inte the choreo, adding to the metaphor is insane because people are so distracted by the sexy r the song that they don't even try l choree for looking inte it more. he can be controlled by you (Genie) but how about being in control (Aladdin)? jimin has many versions of himself he wants to show the world but you won't be happy until it's the version you picked out for him, a stereotype you have in your head, a prejudice. it's a very powerful metaphor

He was wrong about one thing: ARMYs appreciate the fact that he did his research and gave BTS a fair shake. His opinions are his own and we may disagree but we respect his opinion because it was incredibly well-informed.

"i wish we could get suga by himself" he has solo tracks under the name Agust D, his rap flow is really good on its own

"Waited all my life for what, to get a few lines in a BTS song?" Jin: *Yeah, and screentime.*

I got so happy when he said he likes My time and black swan... this man has taste!!!!😄

“i wish we could just get suga by himself” *daechwita starts playing*

"scary bts is the best bts" wings era stans: allow me to introduce myself

“i wish we could just get suga by himself” may i introduce: Agust D

I hope the company stop the autotune cuz they literally don't need it. Also they always do V dirty like my guy has such a wide range and soulful voice..

"basically scary bts is best bts" yes.

“informed but honest review” how could anyone even be mad at this

Coming back to this video, i noticed that I wasn't objective about BTS. I just loved them so much that i didn't really got into a really objective perspective. Sorry for saying it, but not all of their songs are THE BEST and that's okay! No one of us are perfect and trying different styles helps a lot!

I’m glad he gave honest feedback

"these people are talented enough to not need autotune" yoongi adding autotune just bc he wants to: 👁👄👁

there is no point in ON (ft.Sia) we all hate it and act like it doesn’t exist

In all honesty, this is one of the best bts album reviews I've seen because d'angelo doesn't sugarcoat and isn't afraid of speaking his own opinion, as he should. and to armys who disliked this video, he literally pointed out both good AND bad points about the album. this is one of the best reviews we can get at all.

i really wish he would listen to wings, it’s such a good album and there’s not that much autotune, feel like he would enjoy it

“I wish we could get suga by himself” me whispering: agust d...

"My Time is just Jungkook flexing his vocals for minutes." Yeah he does that sometimes

I’m so late even though I watched this a year ago Okay so in my opinion, I feel like- and this goes for other groups too- some of BTS’s songs aren’t like a good listen, not because they’re bad songs, but because they’re more performance songs. A big, good example is Dionysus! I like the song, but the vibe doesn’t match me and I don’t really listen to it on like Spotify (song alone). I find myself enjoying and getting the hype when I watch them perform the song lol esp MMA 2019... it was so hype... Anyways yeah this video is old but still I love this commentary and reactions haha

As an ARMY, I actually agree with many of the things you said. Like others said in this comment section, their voices can actually sound autotuned-ish naturally, but I still think sometimes the autotune (not only in this album) is too excessive, unnecessary and at times annoying. But the messages they spread in the majority of their songs and their performance are outstanding, you can't really argue with that. And yeah, Jungkook and Yoongi killed it (yes I'm biased)

This is the reaction i wanted. Not those reactors who are oVeR ReActiNg

"I wish we could get Suga by himself" **Laughs in Agust D**

"...Jungkook's.... LITERAL EVERYTHING." I felt that

Ok literally everyone’s complaining because he doesn’t like some of the songs but he literally continues to say how much he liked half the album lmao

“Their style just isn’t for me - and that’s fine”. It is. People like to attack people who don’t like BTS’ music despite giving it a shot and just are persistent that listening more and more will make them like BTS. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. And more people need to understand that. (Before I get hate- I’ve been an Army since Dark & Wild, I’ve been to 5 concerts and love their music so much so please don’t come at me calling me an Anti)

The fact that he, who is not a fan, took the time to look up the translated lyrics to gain an understanding of the song, makes me feel weirdly proud because there exists fans who don't even do this.

"overall it's really neat... too bad it sounds bad" the way he said it I'm dead💀💀

I lowkey NEED you to review one of Tomorrow x Together's albums seriously

Only toxic armys will dislike. He didn’t say anything disrespectful to BTS but expressed his emotions to each song. That fact that he listen to the WHOLE song, memorized the lyrics, and understood the meaning to each song is good enough

Who’s gonna tell him that jimin sounds like that all the time

him going on about jungkook's voice is such a mood. he really is talented, i practically joined the fandom because of his vocals. so proud of him :'')

I can’t even listen to “we are bulletproof: the eternal” because it’s makes me so emotional... I’ve been a part of the ARMY family for several years now and hearing the song and listening to the lyrics make me realize that they’ve been through so much and they’ve grown to become many people’s inspiration and I’m honestly very thankful to them for being who they are

we stan a man who, even though he doesn’t like bts, took the time research translations for the songs, familiarized himself with all the members, in order to give an honest review

i like how even tho he doesn’t like bts he still gave them a chance. he took the time to actually read and understand the lyrics, even figure out which member raps or sings it. i always see people hating on bts’s music when they haven’t even listened to it. people always are going to have their opinion on things and some people are just going to have to deal with it. i like how he still appreciated their vocals and raps

When he was reviewing We are bulletproof: The eternal and he said "If you are a long time fan this song will probably be really moving for you" *I felt that.*

Even though he dislikes bts the fact he did so much research, looked into the lyrics, the message they’re trying portray and said everything he says in this video is subjective that’s impressive.

the only respectful kind of criticism yall better learn.

"Suga by himself.." *cough* Agust D *cough*

Me seeing the title:lord please dont let him get assassinated

This was way more positive than you prefaced. 😅 that said, I appreciate your honesty because it was informed and respectful. And I agreed with quite a bit. Tbh, one of the things I dislike about fandoms (in general, but army is no exception) is the way Stans refuse to be critical. Artists are not perfect - personally or in their professional work. It’s ok to not love every single thing your fave does. It makes the appreciation more sincere. You’re not a fan? Could’ve fooled me!

I wish even if people didn't like BTS, they would react like this.This was respectful and constructive criticism.

“Scary bts is the best bts” Cypher series : “did someone call meh?”

As an army, I think it's great to see someone actually give GOOD criticism that makes sense. I can see and understand how you feel, it's not the "OMG they are so ugly and their music is just noise" or "BTS is so perfect they can never do anything wrong omg my baby angels" that I see everywhere. I hope other armys don't hate on you.

I'm so happy to hear someone else's disappointment with V's solo track. He has such a unique voice and I feel like Inner Child didn't do much to showcase it.

i appreciate your criticisms. Its new to see someone do this tastefully without getting racist.

See this is proof that MOST armys only crave an honest opinion. We don't need everybody to love BTS. If you put in the effort to correctly learn about them and still feel like you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. We respect that you at least looked into it instead of just going with the majority of haters who don't even listen to BTS.

As an army i appreciate all the research and agree with most of the points, especially the collabs and autotune. The only "bad" thing i can say about your analysis is that it physically hurt me when you said you didn't like moon but everyone has their preferences and i respect that. Thank you for the unbiased and reasonable commentary even though you dont like them

I remember watching this video not knowing much about BTS. After watching, I listened to some of their music, and I started to enjoy it more. Now I’m definitely a fan! They put in a lot of work for their performances. They are great artists.

on behalf of the whole fandom, we dont claim on ft sia

"I wish we could get Suga by himself" BOY HOWDY DO I GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU-

Ngl I do respect his opinions atleast he isn’t like screaming or like “ they got no talent “ i do understand that theres some flaws with their songs but I still like it so respect to you dude 💜

"jungkook's . . . literal everything" high five d'angelo ✋

Finally a man that doesn’t just hate BTS simply because their BTS

yall are WORSHIPPING this man and for what 😭

I'm so glad you liked "UGH" bc that was literally the song that got me into BTS. I heard it and my first thought was "no way that THIS is BTS????" since all I had heard before were their English songs. I proceeded to listen to it on repeat for 4 months before I fully fell down the BTS rabbit hole. Also the 'EHEM! EHEM EHEM!" in UGH goes so hard that that specific part in the song is what cemented it at the top of my on repeat playlist to this very day.

When I hear of a "kpop react", this is exactly what I hope to see rather than those fake ones that pretend to enjoy and be loud and obnoxious. He's not hating on them, he's just genuinley expressing how he feels. No one has to like the song and shouldn't be forced too. Same goes to the opposite side. No need to throw uneccessary hate if you can't backup your reason for hating it. Other than that, I really enjoyed this video!

To be honest, I’m sad that we have people in this fandom who can’t take criticism. Your video is respectful, and it’s obvious that you put a lot of time into making it. It’s a shame that some people are immature and feel the need to “protect” bts, even when what you’re saying isn’t hateful. THANK YOU for making an in depth review with constructive criticism.

d’angelo can I please beg you to listen to LOONA? They have an entire universe told through each music video and every song is versatile and different from one another. BBC (their company) debuted one girl at a time and then put them into subunits until they reached their final debut as 12 members. Each solo song is so entirely different from the next and their composition is incredible. Not to mention once again, their universe. It gets pretty complex but there’s 3 subunits and each subunit is on a separate plane in the LOONAVERSE. 1/3 is on earth, Odd Eye Circle is on middle earth, and YYXY is on the other side of the Möbius strip in Eden. The story goes from there. I’d rather you listen to each members debut solo and their song Butterfly rather than an entire album, I feel those are the most defining parts of LOONA. :)

I really liked how raw and honest this review was, how he already did his research and knew what they're about before just jumping into the video. I was initially expecting immature reactions and ignorant commentaries, however he was really respectful and went into full depth as to why he liked or disliked a track. Best unbiased K-pop review imo

Fun fact: Jungkooks high notes in ON were actually written for a girls vocal range and RM was unsure whether Jungkook would be bale to pull it off. He did.

As a BTS fan It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone give real criticism without being racist and disrespectful. Learning their names, understanding their strong and weak points, and going in and reading their lyrics to better understand the song really warms my heart.

I really loved his honesty. I also liked how he complimented Jungkook for his vocals like yes he really deserves to be complimented cause he's the main vocalist after all. Nowadays lot of people are criticizing and hating Jungkook for no reason. Well yes I know all of them are jealous of him bcoz he's good at literally everything and may be far better than their biases so just to satisfy their ego they are doing so. But I really loved how he mentioned facts - "This song is just Jungkook flexing his vocals." umm... he indeed has one of the best vocals in the world.

i really hope he finds out they’re not overrated at all and so much of their work go unnoticed by western general public 😟

go hate on “On ft. Sia” as much as you want cus same

My conclusion: he prefers the agressive BTS, the best of their lyrics, and the best of the best of Jungkook's vocals. But at least you're honest

Man all these comments praising the bare minimum of not being racist, ignorant and doing a bit of basic research for a music review. It’s rlly clear how badly BTS have been treated by westerners if you think this review was the best one out there. edit: He can dislike their music and them all he wants, that's not what this comment is about. Just pointing out that it's very telling how badly BTS are treated in general for his mediocre review of their album be praised that much in the comments.

The way he says Jungkook is so satisfying

Ok but why isn’t anyone talking about the fact that D’Angelo is wearing denim on denim with a denim hat

as an army, mad respect for this guy. they’re just not his taste and that is completely okay!! its bold of him to make such a straight forward video. he wasn’t rude about and took the time to learn about them and listen to their music and came to the conclusion their music just wasn’t his taste, and he wasn’t disrespectful towards them or their fans. i wish more people could react like this instead of being so harsh and ignorant!

So he liked “Shadow”, “May Time” and “Black swan” . THE TASTE !!

A bit of clarification. For people who don't know why Halsey was only in the song for a bit. It is because it is their lead single and when they sing the song live for music shows Halsey can not be in every show performing with them, so the original song doesn't feature her as much as you think. But I'm pretty sure they have a different version where Halsey sings all the English bits of the songs. It was more of a fun collab I guess and it's something that I wouldn't regret happening. On feat Sia is a different story however, you've already got the original song but they added another one that sounds literally the same as the original but with someone in the back. Also for songs like Dionysus, honestly packed with *Auto-Tune* but it is better to do research on the actual song itself apart from just lyrics (I'm happy that you at least done the lyrics). The Auto-Tune was to fit the concept of the song but sometimes it is better without it, BTS doesn't usually use Auto-Tune when live though. About the song Dionysus, is from Greek mythology and he is the god of wine and party. There are many other things about the song and other songs but I will not be saying everything. Overall really liked the review

" jungkook flexing his vocals for 4 minutes straight " yes

when jimin’s real voice sounds like autotune 💀

“we cant understand you, beacuse you sound like a robot my guy” whos gonna tell him about jyps wae golla chi molla?

“jungkook’s… literally everything” oh if only you knew…
