Still listening to Cypher Pt. 3 to this day
I love this album!
9 years later and Rain is still on repeat
Love this album!!
will always be one of my faves ❤️🔥🫶🏻
This is one of my favorite albums. 💜
Forever wondering how this album was a career miss for them… just ahead of it’s time I guess ☹️.
Petition for D&W tracks to not be in the bottom of the pile on the Bangtan discography survey for once 😭
Man how I wish I was around for this one. D&W is truly a masterpiece.
Jesus i feel old al of a sudden
So wild to me that they thought of Danger as a flop. After getting into them from Butter, it was one of my first faves of theirs. It still slaps hard.
Rain is a truly great song, and this is one of my favorite albums from them. What Am I to You is my favorite album intro by a country mile, and sets the stage perfectly for this.
I feel like, as others have pointed out, this album may have been ahead of it’s time. By that I mean, if the guys had released this in 2017-19, I think the more mature, angsty concept would have stuck a bit better with fans, while still keeping the strong hip hop and r&b vibes.
I wish the guys publicly praised this album more often, but after reading the book, I understand that it represents a really really tough time for them.
D&W was my first comeback as a fan but stan twitter was just starting to get organized so even though they have a lot of attention from intl fans (they just did really well at kcon too) when it comes to numbers we weren’t there yet. And this concept was entirely different from boy groups or kpop themes back then. 2014 was also an era where a lot of solo songs were thriving. So a lot of heavy competition domestically but they earned attention bcoz they were a bit more unique in a way.
But this is such a masterfully done album. I love everything about it and it definitely rounded up nicely the first part of bangtan albums and gave such iconic songs and performances for them to do the Red Bullet Tour. Dark and Wild you will always be dear to me 💜
New BTS fan here! What’s everyone’s favorite from this album?
24/7 Heaven…there’s just something special about it.
🥰💜
…I’ve already said this on other posts, but, this album is at the top of my favorite Bangtan albums…Hip Hop Phile and Cypher Pt. 3 are my JAMS!…but really ALL the tracks on this one are 😘👌
…but in “Outro: Do you Think it Makes Sense” – the way JK says “Listen”…FUCK!! One of my favorite things ever…🫠
I’m quite sad for Bangtan how this album reminds them of harsh times, but as a baby army that slowly went back to their discography this is one of my favorites from them, esp War of Hormone. I really love the vibe and energy of this album so much!
Solid album by younger them, I love many songs in D&W
