a quick look at my physical albums; bts only

Never done this before, here goes! 

So, I do collect K-Pop albums, because why not?
I actually have most of my albums because of my dearest friend Kai who always spoils me by buying me the new BTS and sometimes B.A.P albums (I am her designer though so I guess it works out quite evenly? ;p 

Without further ado, here are some of my BTS albums (not all of my physical albums because there are albums where I haven't listened to all the songs yet TT), accompanied with a song preference a.k.a my favourite song from each album. 

(Open images in a new tab to view the full size; fair warning that I'm absolute e at taking pictures)

2 COOL 4 SKOOL // BTS's first single album and I remember listening to "No More Dream" on repeat when BTS debuted. It's a bit sentimental to think about how far they have come along as a group, and this album takes me back to the days when their music was rooted in hiphop. I loved the hard sounds, they were definitely fresh and new and back in 2013 when I was very much rooted in the B.A.P fandom and music, BTS was definitely appreciated. 
I'd have to say, my favourite song is We Are Bulletproof PT. 2 (let's be honest tho PT. 1 with Runch, IRON and Suprema was absolute murder) but I'd say my favourite track off the tracklist would be Outro Circle Room Cypher. It's definitely interesting, something I love to listen to and always cheers me up!

O!RUL8,2? // BTS's first mini-album has some very noteworthy songs, obviously a couple being "N.O." and "Satoori Rap", but it's definitely a good album. I mean, all of their music, never disappoints <:D I feel like as a graphic designer this has one of the best photobooks in terms of the design, and the typography all across it, it's honestly so pleasing for me because I love geometric stuff. The design is so minimalist, it's great. 
As for favourite songs, it's so hard to decide because there are some incredible songs here overall, but I think my favourite would be Outro: Luv in Skool; the beat of the song is the kind I totally dig, and the vocal line are beautiful throughout. Also Taehyung and Yoongi are so beautiful in this era
#AhjummaYoongi

SKOOL LUV AFFAIR // Their second EP is just everything and it is all so wonderful. I actually have two favourites from this album; not surprisingly they are not the title tracks! A lot of people make the Harumaaaaan~ joke with my name, and you'd think "Just One Day" is a favourite but nah, there are a couple of other songs I really like.
The first is Spinebreaker, there's something about it that just makes it such a bop, I absolutely love it. Don't get me wrong, "Boy In Luv" is great but I like Spinebreaker more sorry >.< (also Taehyung's low voice here can he NOT?)
The second one is... Intro: Skool Luv Affair. And don't get me wrong again because "Cypher PT. 2" was my favourite Cypher track for a long time but I just love this one so much more! I live for sassy Yoongi, his lazy rapping, Hoseok being... Hoseok, and Namjoon just damning me to hell when he just speaks...
Fangirling aside, I love this because it uses the same beat as the outro in the last album and I love that beat so much TT

DARK&WILD // I honestly love the whole ing album so much. Dark&Wild is one of my favourites it's safe to say. All the songs are just so great. Again, I've got two favourite songs... again, neither of them were promoted. 
The first is What Am I To You? which is the intro for the album and oh god the tone in Namjoon's rap and the change it goes through as the song progresses is actually so incredible and the song itself gives me chills a few times as I listened to it. Definitely a favourite, and I'm not saying this cause I'm Namjoon biased ;)
The next one, the greatest rap line song, Cypher PT. 3: Killer. I don't think I have words for how amazing this song is, you just have to listen to it really.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN OUR LIVES PT. 1 // SCREECH cause these albums are where things get even real-er and just my life 
I'm getting tired and lazy at this point so these will be shorter. My favourite is Intro: 화양연화 just because 1) Yoongi, 2) Yoongi rapping 3) Yoongi swearing
But honestly this song gave me so many feels when it first came out, and it really hit home. The basketball bounces and the swishes through the hoop just add to the beauty of the song, it also had some old school hip hop vibes and I love that. 
Another favourite is Outro: Love Is Not Over. I think I like it so much more after it came in Prologue: HYYH >.<

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN OUR LIVES PT. 2 // this album came out close to a very dark period in my life so I seem to gravitate towards it whenever I feel sad. it's something that makes me sad but at the same time less sad, and I feel like it can be healing and killing at the same time. Nonetheless I absolutely love it. 
It's so difficult to pick a favourite since I love the whole ing album but my favourites would have to be RUN and House of Cards.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN OUR LIVES: YOUNG FOREVER // I absolutely adore the packaging for these albums, and the colours. The Night version is definitely my favourite (why does it look so British tho lol)
Surprisingly my favourite is not "Save Me" but it's RUN (Ballad Ver.) and Butterfly (Prologue Ver.), they are some great songs and I am generally not a slow person unless it's like trap or chill genre, but I really like these songs so much! >.<

WINGS // Wings is an album that definitely does not disappoint, the visuals, the stories within, I think BTS really wanted to show how much they have grown with this album, and they really did that. I am so proud of my boys every time I listen to this >.<
I should say my favourites are definitely Intro: Boy Meets Evil and Reflection, they both make me feel things and Reflection has a bit more of a personal chime to it and admittedly it's given me anxiety listening to the sounds in the back, but I love Reflection nonetheless. 

WINGS: YOU NEVER WALK ALONE // I only currently have the LEFT version of the album, but it is lovely nonetheless. I love the new songs that they have, but my favourites are definitely A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone and Spring Day, they both make my heart feel so many things. I will admit, Hoseok's lack of lines threw me off so much in the MV even though I liked the song, but the live for it made up for it so much. Hoseok singing is just one of the best things in the world I'm not even sorry.
P.S. unrelated to songs but I really want to get Yoongi for the RIGHT version, not cause he's my bias but because I got pink haired Jimin for the blue album, so I want blue jacket Yoongi for the pink album (I know... I'm a dork...)

And well, that's all I have for you guys, you don't need to comment because I'm just sharing it for my amusement and it's nice to look at like this <3 But, I think it would be fun if you did this; maybe a simpler version would be to look at Kai's blog here, mine is a little (a lot) more in detail since I had less albums. 

Thank you for reading! What are your favourite songs? :3c
