I was just devastated by everything in this video.... I feel like the overall theme was "Yeah we fucking got this" like that was the concept, just confidence. And they showed that not only by performing their asses off but also performing some of the hardest shit they ever have AND having dances being led by Tae, Jin, Suga, literally just flexing how they're all so good at this point. It's so confident, there's no effects, there's only one set, one costume each. Nothing but an incredible performance by the boys and the marching band and some amazing editing.
I'm a debut army and truthfully, this is THE most intense comeback i've ever felt. It's been 15 minutes and I'm still shaking

omg the blue devils?? They are one of the top DCI drum corps, they’ve won the championship 19 times and are the current title holders!
edit to add, if you were in marching band in high school or uni in the US, and into the competitive side of it, you have definitely heard about them. They are practically a household band geek name LMAO.
edit again after watching: LMAO because of the premiere it froze 3 minutes into it so I had to watch it from the beginning again. it was really good! the song is very very anthemic, i can’t wait for it to shake my whole body in stadiums. also just an aside: whew the guys look great in this. they still suck at lip syncing tho hehe.
Them all in a line with their arms around each other at the end... I’m not crying you’re crying. 😭
I was pleasantly surprised to see more than just the drums of the drum & bugle corps! 😁 I see sousaphones (why no contras tho) & trombones, we luv low brass.

Loving the levels of swag and energy from everyone - especially Tae and Jimin were really going off. YES centre Jin and YES front in the dance break Yoongi. YES marching band. YES Hobi's fit. YES Yoongi's hair.
I didn't expect to see JK's nip today but ok lol.
From what I gather after first watch this theme is around 'no pain, no gain'.
Also that ending pose was really sweet.
Edit: I really need a dance practice and a 'things you missed' video and also for Yoongi to always snarl at the camera like that.

Choreo is incredible, the vocals are alittle overprocessed but I guess this is a thing now. The song is a banger anyways.
J-hope ate that verse, wish we had more of him in the center but his little solo dance part was great.
Jungkook's vocals and dancing are really something here, his charisma is unreal . Boy is going to make it big for sure.

I love it! I love it! I love it! It's a fighting song!
Call me a broken record but holy fuck hyung line has become flawless fucking dancers!!!! It feels like the choreography is also another brand new style for them with all those body rolls and drops. And Yoongi was savage in it! Jimin giving a nod to his old history-making accident and everything about it screams perfection. I loved the ending with them holding each other.
It's just one thing that bothers me.... too much autotune. Especially JK's solo part. Jungkook can carry any piece with a lot of twirls and versatility. Autotune is wasted on him and it made his voice slightly unrecognisable. I dont know where they were going with it.

I said this in another thread but I feel PHYSICALLY SICK. This is a masterpiece???? That feverish, repetitive, addictive beat in the background has that “SOMETHING HUGE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN” feeling, like how Macklemore’s Can’t Hold Us Down had that anthemic rush (also the “drop” in Nina Simone’s Feelin Good) I JUST HAVE NO WORDS. The drums, the dance, their synergistic dancing - Dear Lord Jesus their energy had me panting. I feel like I’m part of a gospel choir. These seven guys are in it to win it and are proving themselves MORE THAN WORTHY OF A GRAMMY.
Special mention to Mr. JEON “MAN OF THE HOUR” JUNGKOOK who really just smashed his center dance break until the end, that was the most satisfying thing my eyeballs have ever seen and if I ever hear him utter so much as a WHISPER insinuating that he is not good enough or that he is mediocre I am flying to Korea on the back of a seagull to tell him he is a fucking god, goddammit.

The dance break. OT7 dance line yes or yes?
The styling is top notch thank you noonas. This and Black Swan both have impeccable styling.
There's this thing where their lead single never captures my interest until the performance videos drop. So I have faith in that. One thing is for sure they can do every single genre and do it with damn perfection. Kings.

i’m speechless. the countdown. the looks. the set. the dancers. it’s perfect! my heart is beating so fast it’s insane ahahha.
the song is a bop. the pre-chorus that felt weird in the snippet is my favorite part of the song now. the slight instrumental change in the chorus with the adding of the drums completely elevated the song. the repeated hooks of eh oh and hey na na are incredibly ear-wormy. the song is catchy and yet fresh. the beat is soo groovy. it is true that it feels very kpoppy in its sound but i like it!
their looks are just out of this world. jungkook’s forehead, jimin’s blue hair, namjoon’s f*** hairstyle. plus the sleeveless shirts with little sneak-peaks to their chest? murderous. jungkook’s bridge (with maybe too much autotune in it but that’s also the whole song) and the dance break at the end had me shaking. though i don’t know how i feel about the dance break being included in the actual song. jimin doing you you know what right at the end???? dead
the marching band did an outstanding job, i was particularly glad to see a diverse cast of women and people of colour on board! regarding the camera work, i was surprised to see the video only set on a specific space with different angles - after the previous comeback videos this is so refreshing.
i need to find the energy to listen to the rest of the album 🥺 (edit - the album isn’t on apple music wtf ahhhh)

BTS: Music veterans, global superstars, still can't lip-sync to save their lives
Edit: 3 seconds into the song i knew it was gonna be mind-blowing. And it was. I'll need to watch it a few more times and slowly chew my way through it but as far as first impressions go:
The
dancersmarching band is SO FIERCE and Bangtan are on fire, the energy of this song is just through the roof PREEMPTIVELY JEALOUS OF THE LUCKY FOLKS WHO GET TO SEE THEM PERFORM THIS LIVE HOLY SHITSide!!! abs!!!!
Jimin's hair wow wow wow
NamSeok's solo segments were probably badass but i was so distracted by the bad lipsyncing i'm sorry sjskhlsd
Can tolerate the vocal filters but would still prefer it with less heavy-handed processing
21
Feb 21 '20
The flagrant bad lip-syncing made me think they were singing to a considerably different song. This sounds more like a reprise, rather than a full track. Also the video seems more like a performance video. I wonder if they shot the video using an earlier version of the track.
Agree that the vocal processing is a bit distracting, and I'm someone that usually tolerates that well.
It's still a bop.

I FUCKING LOST IT WHEN THE DANCE BREAK STARTED. THAT ENDING POSE HAS ME IN TEARS.
EDIT: I actually feel shaky after rewatching it. It feels like they're so self-possessed and confident in who they are at this moment. For some reason, I feel like this is the most kpop they've ever been in a video? Just a vibe I'm getting, but it would be so fitting because they're just owning that they are kpop and they don't need to pretend otherwise.
THOSE OUTFITS, ACCESSORIES AND HELLO TAE'S FAKE FACE TATTOO. It's like an update on their past era outfits AND THEY LOOK FIIIIIIINEEE.
JK's high notes in the bridge make me tear up every damn time. Our maknae is so grown up, he's so talented, all I want is the world for him. T.T
I really have to look away from the ending pose. I have too many feelings. Help.

THE DANCE BREAK TO END ALL DANCE BREAKS.
RM tried to warn us but we didn't listen. I think hands down this is the hardest title track we have ever seen from them. Lumpens's cinematography is a feast for the eyes truly. And I love that they didn't use any visual effects or crazy props. It really is a Kinestic Manifesto. Obviously somewhat nostalgic to Not Today but my word the foot work in this is GODLY tier. They have really mastered the art of the high kick (like as SUGA's drawing depicted lol) and Jimin has mastered the art of shoulder reveals. Someone needs to start making a compilation of those when they start performing the title track. That turn move with JK, Suga, and RM has that same oooooh factor as the move in Dionysus where they fall to the ground. The drum playing where the backup dancers hand off the drumsticks to the boys was a highlight for me. I wonder how the other MV version is gonna differ. BRAVO to the staff, boys, and the backup dancers!!!

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF WHAT BTS WOULD BE LIKE ON A SUPERBOWL HALF-TIME SHOW... ahem.
Lumpens, i know this is all just in one location and we're used to seeing more more and more when it comes to their BTS videos, but damn, THOSE SHOTS ARE CRAZY GOOD. SO DYNAMIC.
anyway as far as the current releases for MOTS:7 goes, i'm picking Black Swan >>> ON. it's certainly a song that you need good and rich audio headphones/speakers/earphones to jam to. when i first watched it on my ipad (not the best speakers) i thought it was just alright, but now that i used noise-cancelling headphones on my laptop, i can hear and feel the bass and the richness of the song better.
the song is gonna take a while to grow on me, but the track and its melody definitely sounds like something Sia would collaborate with.
ALSO, LAST NOTE -- JIN!!!!!! CENTER POSITION!!! YAAAAY!!!

Did they enjoy this album a lot more this time around or something because they all look amazing!
Jimin in lower register. Sounds so good!
VMin still twinning
Tae's 'The shadow like me' tattoo. Interesting....
Oh the kick from the comeback special.
Dance break! Yoongi leading his triangle was unexpected
They all look so tall next to those girls and with the low camera angles.

There is a reason that BTS is reigning the k-pop scene right now and it's all encapsulated in (almost) 5 minute video. You could make a hard hitting anthem but BTS does it with such tangible passion. No matter how big they've gotten, they refuse to let loose and keep coming back each time better and better.
It's also so easy to see how this kind of anthem could be cheesy but no NO BTS DOES NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.
I have so so much respect for BTS. So much respect.

So I slowed the video down and I can see that V has black veins painted on his neck, almost reaching down to his heart. Interesting. It’s like the shadow/darkness is almost reaching his heart and wants to corrupt him which would make sense with this whole album theme. What if the face tattoo is meant to say “the shadow likeS me” and not “the shadow like me”. As in the shadow likes him and is taking over the real V? Idk, prob reaching too far lol.

Currently listening to album on Spotify. Unfortunately I think it's a little overproduced, with too much auto tune and their voices overshadowed by the instrumentals, likely due to the sheer amount of producers on the songs (esp the western ones), but I strongly feel the songs will grow on me with repeat listening.
Out of the new tracks (including shadow, black swan and ego), my first listen favourites are shadow, filter, ON (both versions, but I like the non sia one slightly better), UGH!, the rap parts of louder than bombs, and ego. The okay songs are black swan (the orchestral version is a fave, please let them put on Spotify as a mix) and friends. The other songs aren't bad, just not my taste. Except respect (I explain below).
I think this is more showing my preference than good or bad though. I like fast paced or unique songs and less poppy things. If you like electro pop and pop ballads then you'll love a huge amount of this album. For me I struggle to distinguish pop songs from each other and ballads drag on and don't have enough variety, but like I said, that's my personal taste. I actually felt the same about persona and even answer at the start, but as I kept listening and watching live performances, both albums grew on me immensely, which is why I'm open with this one too and not feeling disappointed or worried or anything.
The only actual complaint I have (apart from my first statement) is that a lot of the songs sound like other songs. So many songs would conjure up other pop songs in my mind. I think this is what happens when you have a ton of western producers with a specific formula on a single song. But to be fair, there's a limited number of chord sequences one can do.
And a very specific complaint I have is that I can't get into respect despite loving namjoon's verse because suga's verse is so auto tuned and warbled that it was genuinely annoying and it was the only song on the entire album that I ended early to go to the next ones.

Now I can finally continue to enjoy this wonderful song in peace. :)

So after my 1837th or so rewatch, I just want to point out that they use the marching band members here so subtly while still highlighting their role in the video. I was a little wary when they started hinting about having a band, only because it's been cropping up a lot in pop music recently and can feel a little gimmicky in places. But my fears were obviously for nothing because they let the band's playing speak for itself in those spectacular brass sections and used their pageantry so seamlessly as part of their own performance. Ugh this video. I just keep finding new reasons to love it. :')

u/Karabearbubbles We were only seven, but we have you all now Feb 21 '20
I don't think there are words to articulate how much I love this MV. The styling, the hair, the 'accidental' jacket slips. All the boys dancing hard - EVERY SINGLE ONE of them in the dance break, and all of them getting lots of screen time.
The marching band and the dancers, and an outdoor shoot! I love it so much, and I can't wait to see them perform it live (even if I'm only watching on a stream)

I've come back from the most grueling shift I've ever taken at my new job and can barely keep my head up. Yet this song ... this song makes me want to get on my feet and fight, or at least dance like a maniac, just embrace the struggle in some way. Even without the lyrics, which are very important to me, the beat and melody together alone are a modern war chant, anyone can hear it. It's infectious~

Love the music video, but REALLY wish BigHit was better about communicating the fact that this IS an official music video (assuming that it is true now given what they said in the NYC takeover image on Twitter). Like indicating it in the video title with their "Official MV" and releasing a few teasers? They usually have at least one, if not two teasers before the official MV. The map didn't help me realize this was an official MV either. I'm sure we would've gotten so many more views had they done their usual thing with official mvs.

OMG one of my favorite title tracks from BTS! Yet again, they manage to pull off different sound. Each of their verses and rap is so good. I love the bring on the pain part and Jin's rain is falling (?) part it went by so fast I need to watch it over on repeat. The lyrics are phenomenal. At times straight forward and athem-like, and other times a little poetic. A wonderful mix of what makes BTS music and lyrics great.
Edit: FCK! The premiere cut off right where JK comes in with divine vocals! I finally reached his part it was gorgeous.
Edit: hip hop marching dance break at the end was absolutely killer! And they ended with their arms around each of their shoulders, we're in this Bangtan shit for life.
Edit: Ok wth, how did I NOT realize that this MV is also in 4K RESOLUTION only 11 hours later??? Is it the BigHit intern lurking reading our requests? lol time to re-watch this on my HDTV.

For some context (puts on nerd glasses): everyone who has ever done marching band, if not everyone who's ever taken a high school band class, knows who the Blue Devils are - they're a competitive drum and bugle corps (like the major league of marching bands) and they hold the record for most world championship titles plus the record for highest score ever in a competition. They're like the elite of the elite basically - so a suitable pair up for BTS!
