On the subject of BTS:
I've always thought "theres nothing wrong with love" was a move in a
bad direction for them. It was, for the most part, musically dull, and
lyrically challenged. I liked it and all, but only for a short time.
When I got my hands on "Perfect from now on", I dug it for quite a
while, but neither have had the staying power possessed by "Ultimate
Alternative Wavers". I love every song (even "built too long"!). We
listen to it several times a week at my workplace while the others sit
on the shelf. (Well, perfect from now on does get played occasionally).
I think "keep it like a secret" is another "theres nothing wrong with
love", musically anyway (good lyrics). The melodies, and vocal harmonies
are just too....happy! Most of these songs lack the other emotions that
we know BTS are indeed capable of conveying (I do think "bad light", and
"time trap" are super swell). It's like Doug scraped his trusty chord
chart & went back to basics.
Well, I guess I can see some kind of pattern forming, so I should like
the next one, right?
Actually, I'm just bitter because the fuckers are skippin' Detroit again.
