DESCRIPTION:
2x12" K-Pop R& B & Hip Hop On Thsi Debut studio album by the South Korean boy band, featuring the singles 'Danger' and 'War of Hormone'.
Dark & Wild' starts off strong with "Intro: What Am I To You." The track starts with a simple beat and violin backdrop - Rap Monster kills his rap, easing his way from calm to full-on emotion.This is the perfect hip-hop beginning that sets the vibe for the rest of the album.
Their lead single, "Danger," is their next track. It's a bit confusing as to why any girl would play flakey with these guys, but it's a perfect "I'm frustrated" song to jam out too. There is a bit of everything in this song from the strong raps to the hook/chorus that give off a rock-vibe. The versatility of each member mixes together into a perfect harmony of sound.
This theme carries onto the next track, "Hormone War." They really emphasize that they aren't just young boys they're old enough to feel the attraction to all the bad girls out there (oh, hey).
"Hip Hop Lovers," to no surprise spits good raps declaring their passion for hip-hop they cite multiple big name rappers, such as Jay Z, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar, and how their music "hits their ears" and influences them and their music. They combine this with soft vocals, again treating the ears to a multiple-layered melody.
The album slows down with "Let Me Know." These heartfelt lyrics express one's love for the perfect girl that has seemingly moved on. Call me crazy, but the vocals on this track remind me of something we would hear from a vocal-heavy JYJ, showing us that this group is not only about rapping but also has immense vocal talent, as well.
The relaxed feel eases into their next track, "Rain." This sounds like a track one would hear at a piano bar or at a classy bar in the wee morning hours, which is a stark contrast to the earlier tracks on the album. Suga nails his rap in this song, as well.
Supreme Boi features in "BTS Cypher Pt: 3." I'm a huge fan of cyphersI love that they are able to really showcase their rap and freestyle talents. With an experimental back beat, the boys spit mad flow successively. Each has their own unique style and sound, but all sound equally amazing.
The album takes a short detour with, "Interlude: What Are You Doing." This simple, unique interlude adds some 80s/90s funk in the mix with the simple statement, "What are you doing?" The interlude smoothly transitions into, "Can You Turn Off Your Phone." This song highlights the vocals of the group, and the lyrics speak the truth.
"Blanket Kick" is yet another "man in love" song. This time, they go for an up-beat live-band feel. This song is the perfect track to relax to this is a light track with raps thrown into a nice falsetto hook. This feel continues onto the next love track, "Heaven."
The beat picks up with, "Look Here." This song has a Pharrell William sound; I'm a fan. There is a funky, old-school sound to it. The mood switches up with, "Second Grade." This playful track is a mix between M.I.A meets Ludacris meets PSY (?). It goes back to their fun hip-hop roots, and it's probably one of my favorite tracks on this album. "Second Grade" is a mix of all genres of music, with influence from other countries, which works really well.
The final track, "Does That Make Sense" is a nice R&B song that wraps up the entire album. The entire album discusses lust, love, anger, heartbreak, and desire. They slow it down in this track to say, "It's not over" (which is assumed by all the emotion in each track), and the album ends with, "Come back.

Last FM Information on BTS

BTS (Korean: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013. The septet co-writes and produces much of their output. Originally a hip hop group, their musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work features references to literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several world tours.
The group initially formed as teenagers under Big Hit Entertainment and released their debut single album, 2 Cool 4 Skool (2013). Subsequent work such as their first U.S. Billboard 200 entries The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2 (2015), The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever (2016), and Wings (2016) helped establish BTS' reputation as a socially conscious group. Wings became BTS' first album to sell one million copies in South Korea. By 2017, BTS crossed into the international music market, leading the Korean Wave into the United States and breaking numerous sales records, becoming the first Korean group to receive a certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with their single "Mic Drop". The band is the first Korean act to top the U.S. Billboard 200 with their studio album Love Yourself: Tear (2018) and have since hit the top of the U.S. charts with their albums Love Yourself: Answer (2018) and Map of the Soul: Persona (2019), making BTS the first group since The Beatles to earn three number one albums in less than a year, and the fastest to earn three number one albums since The Monkees in 1967. Love Yourself: Answer also broke South Korea's Gaon Album Chart's all-time monthly record previously set by Love Yourself: Tear and became the first Korean album certified Gold in the United States.
According to Gaon Music Chart, BTS has sold fifteen million albums domestically and is the best-selling artist to debut in the 2010s. They hold the best-selling album in Korean history with Map of the Soul: Persona. BTS were the second best-selling artists of 2018 worldwide according to the IFPI's Global Artist Chart, as well as the only non-English speaking artist to enter the chart. The group has won Top Social Artist three years in a row and Top Duo/Group at the 26th Billboard Music Awards. Featured on Time's international cover as "Next Generation Leaders", BTS has appeared in the magazine's 25 most influential people on the internet (2017–2019) and Time's 100 most influential people in the world (2019), with the outlet giving them the nickname 'Princes of Pop'. Forbes Korea named BTS the most influential celebrities of Korea in 2018, and BTS ranked 43rd in the Forbes Celebrity 100 (2019) as one of the world's top-earning celebrities. During their 2019 Love Yourself World Tour, BTS became the first Asian artist ever to headline and sell out Wembley Stadium and broke the record for the single highest-grossing engagement in Rose Bowl Stadium history. BTS are worth more than $4.65 billion to South Korea's economy each year, attracting one in every 13 foreign tourists that visit the country, and are cited as one of the key acts boosting global music sales to $19 billion in 2018, a figure not seen since 2006 after digital purchases gained momentum.
Following the establishment of their Love Myself anti-violence campaign in partnership with UNICEF, BTS addressed the United Nations 73rd General Assembly and became the youngest ever recipients of the Order of Cultural Merit from the President of South Korea due to their contributions in spreading Korean culture and language.
