BTS - SKOOL LUV AFFAIR Album Review

BTS~SKOOL LUV AFFAIR

01 SKOOL LUV AFFAIR

Suga's sudden rap in this caught me offguard. And the sudden stop by JHope caught me more offguard. Anyways, he sounds like he's having so much fun. I was expexting an official song like a song man. I liked the pauses in between where they talk for like a second. Then there goes Rapmon dropping intense rap all of a sudden. I love it! I just can't pinpoint what song he used for his rap though. The whole song gave a really rookie feeling, I just find these boys really cute.

02 상남자(BOY IN LUV)

I think because this is the title track that's why I like this song so much. We even learned the dance for this song. I'm feeling hiphoppish - if that's even a word - every time I listen to this kind of songs. I really wish they were able to show more of their vocals because this is the title song. And that's when the bridge started, what I was exactly looking for. The adlibs were also perfect!

03 SKIT: SOULMATE

This is just my opinion, but they're wasting time on a quality album to put this in the tracklist. I'm not saying I hate it, it’s actually fun, but fans purchase the album for the songs. Anyway, this is really fun. I love how they showed their closeness.

04 어디에서 왔는지(WHERE DID YOU COME FROM)

This song is really bubbly all over. The ooh-ooh-ooh-oh part is so catchy that I kept singing it the whole time, not bothering if it’s still sang in the song. You don't know how much I had fun listening to this song. Especially when the chorus comes.

05 하루만(ONE DAY ONLY)

My favorite track in the album. The rap and singing complemented each other so much that I wonder who arranged this song. Nevermind the complementing I was talking about. But Taehyung's part in here. Gaaad. I love how they gave this part to him. Atlast I can hear his deep round voice clearly. And Namjoon, you're quietly climbing my bias list because of this. I don't really need to mention this because it is expected for our Golden Maknae to sing well. I easily memorized the chorus after 3 times listening to it.

 

06  TOMORROW

I found the SO MUCH autotune at times bothering to my ears. I really love this song's chorus, it was intensely beautiful. The drum beats in here is dope too. What elese can I say? But really, its bothering my ears too much, the autotune. Arghh. What to do?

07 BTS CYPHER PT. 2: TRIPTYCH

This! Feeling really swag like I can grasp the world with my hands. First time I listened to this I was grinning the whole time and gritting my teeth at the same time. This is just messy clean! I hope you get what I just typed. Then again, Namjoon~ you killin' it man.

08 등골브레이커(SPINE BREAKER)

This sounds a Jinusean song, or just like any YG songs back in late 90's. This can also be a BAP song. The genre I love the most. Hardcore but soft hiphop. I'm typing nonsense again, aren't I? I got goosebumps listening to this song, I really was imagining that this song was from back then. This song has a touch of old school. THe lalalalala~ part brings this ceratin feel.

09 JUMP

One of my favorites. The vocals need more parts in this whole album. I know that their target genre is Hiphop, but they can do it without setting the singers aside. I can't wait for future releases of this group. Let's jump! This is just so catchy that I just don't care anymore.

10 PROPOSE

I was just talking about the vocals the previous track and here they are saying "GABBIE HERE WE ARE, SORRY FOR THE WAIT". It's a good decision to add this to the tracklist. 2 minutes is not enough to quench my thirst though. Blame all the swag I was feeling earlier.
