With Indigo, RM has delivered one of the best albums I have heard all year. That's all I will say for now as I don't want to spoil our reaction/review π€
In this review, we utilized the website doolsetbangtan for the english translations. Which has been my go to site for a couple of years now. There were a few songs where lyrics were not available at the time of this filming. We will go back in our personal time to look up those lyrics as well.
We really hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. We were extremely transparent in this video because this album brought it out of us. Lots of emotions. Please feel free to share your feelings with us as well in the comments FAM Lπ

This album was definitely soul-nourishing! Wildflower gets me every time; just chills and soaring through those melodies!

2023-04-02 17:08:39 +0000 UTCIβm gonna be 100 I used to skip to a specific song to quickly get in the vibe Iβm looking for, but right after itβs done I go to the first track. Iβve mostly done that with Change pt 2, Closer, and Wildflower. But it ALWAYS leave me wanting more. Now Iβm just like π€·π½ββοΈ Iβm gonna listen to the whole thing anyway might was well do it from the jump.

2023-02-28 12:45:27 +0000 UTCI'm late to this, but I really wanted to say (I'm writing this comment as I watch the video), I don't think you should ever be scared about the content you choose. If you're unsure and want advice, the discord is there for that support if you need it, but I think the whole fam will support your choices regardless. If you'd chose a different translating site, that'd be totally fine as far as I'm concerned - every army at this point should know that translation is an ART and every translator will be a bit different.

2022-12-21 20:03:01 +0000 UTCHere for you Nico! Happles and I have been watching your Indigo reactions all morning. And just want to let you know how much we love you and appreciate you. Thank you for being here for us, just as much if not more than we are for you. Let's always support each other

2022-12-19 08:45:25 +0000 UTCWildflower is pure medicine. When I listen to this I feel RM acknowledging the struggle and the desires worth fighting for, and then Youjeen's voice just pulls the pain right out of my heart so healing can start. I'm left feeling catapulted forward and refreshed.

2022-12-13 06:32:57 +0000 UTCMan, Nico! First Namjoon makes me cry from Wild Flower, and now youβre making me cry tooππ I know what itβs like to lose a parent so that hit me hard! β€οΈπ₯Ί My favorites so far are Still Life, All Day, Wild Flower and No2π With JITB and Indigo out I am dying to hear the rest of the albums that the rest of them are gonna drop next year!! Much love FAM, hope youβre doing wellπ«°πΌπ
Bangtan is life
2022-12-11 02:49:15 +0000 UTCIndigo is going to be my Summer groove!! JITB is still my night out/roaming groove and Astronaut is my reset my morning vibe.....worried that I'm going to run out of hours for the rest of the guys album releases.

2022-12-08 16:06:22 +0000 UTCMy Fav is also Wild Flower at the moment. It will invoke my emotions when I hear it. Sometimes I feel like it is talking to me, what I am suppressing and not letting yourself be yourself. It is so hard to choose really cause all the songs speak to you differently when it come on. I really am amazed at this album. π
Hazy
2022-12-08 14:58:05 +0000 UTCAbsolutely agree with you guys that the whole album is a classic. It was just what I needed at this time and even better than I had imagined! I think Wildflower is my favorite as well. Loved hearing your guys' thoughts! It was nice hearing your stories and how you guys related to the album. I'm glad this album brought you comfort, Nico. I hope you know that you are amazing, and it's totally valid to be feeling how you are. Please don't feel like you need to be second-guessing yourself so much! We appreciate everything you do π

2022-12-08 07:36:34 +0000 UTCI'm very happy that you liked this style. It felt really rewarding to do it this way and it means a lot that you felt the same. Thank you for all of the love and support. Reading your comment put a smile on my face FAM. I will definitely check out Epik High soon. I'm even more curious about them now π€
WhatchaGot2Say
2022-12-07 21:07:14 +0000 UTCIndigo is absolutely amazing. Event though Joonie said it was all over the place, for me it had a symmetry and told his story very well. I loved hearing your stories and points as well. πππ

2022-12-07 15:08:00 +0000 UTCfinally back to comment after taking all this in, this was a really wonderful experience to go through this album with you both and i would definitely love more videos in this style in future, where you've already had the time to process the album and can really take in the lyrics. i also want to say wrt to your point about reaction videos, i really do consider you guys the gold standard for reactions that are a transformative work in themselves and come from a place of true love for music. you're the only reactors i support on patreon for that reason, i want to help you continue to hone your craft and keep producing content. blaze is absolutely correct about not many other channels making their own covers etc and being genuinely inspired by bts to make more art of your own, something i really resonate with. sending much love and support to you nico, finding comfort in music when dealing with a loss is such a real thing and i hope you know there's no timeline for Getting Over something like that, just take each day as it comes and know that you have many people in your corner no matter what. so many more things i could say bc this was a legitimately amazing discussion of this album as a whole but ive already rambled enough so i just want to say that i absolutely encourage you to check out epik high, you'll see a lot of where bts' influences come from especially with their lyricism & addressing social issues. tablo's pen is solid gold that man does be saying some real shit, plenty of it in english too since he spent many years living in canada. all this to say, great video as expected :) much love to you all π

2022-12-07 09:20:44 +0000 UTCThank you so very much for your words of love and encouragement. Yes, they mean a lot and help in so many ways. All love to you Lπππππππ
WhatchaGot2Say
2022-12-07 07:01:17 +0000 UTCNico and Blaze, I really appreciated hearing about your experiences and what the songs meant to you. Thank you for sharing about things like having to be away from home because of work and being displaced by Katrina. It really provides a window into what people go through. And Nico, Iβm sorry for your loss and grief. I saw your tweet apologizing about not being yourself lately - NO APOLOGIES! Your grief is a testament to the relationship you had with your mom. Not everyone has that kind of bond. If you havenβt already, maybe consider counseling to give you tools to help with this. But grief is natural and will show up how it shows up. It shows how you love. So Iβm sorry youβre going through this and know that you are totally okay. (Hope these words are at least a little bit helpful.)πππππππ

2022-12-07 05:54:09 +0000 UTCI loved listening to the album with you guys π Thank you for sharing this with us! Also, thank you for your brave and real honesty Nico (blaze, too). What you said really touched me. For me, Wildflower seems to reach into my chest and touch something raw. Itβs such a beautiful song. Namjoon has spoken about feeling sad when he looks at a beautiful piece of art and I totally feel that with this song. The whole album, really. :) I just feel so grateful to be able to hear his music. Namjoon really outdid himself! I havenβt stopped listening to it! Thanks again for your reaction and hard work! Purple you! π

2022-12-07 01:28:57 +0000 UTC"All Day" be the Morning Hype song before work... and then you blast "All Night" (with Suga & Juice Wrld) as soon as you leave the office.

2022-12-06 19:37:53 +0000 UTCAlways appreciate y'all sharing your thoughts & feelings honestly. And ofc your perspective on the music. The heart & effort you guys put into your channel & videos is evident. It's really great tt you dive into lyrics and share on your channel for others who might benefit from the messages as well to potentially discover them.

2022-12-06 18:39:19 +0000 UTC"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's" is actually taken from a bible verse. It comes from Matthew 22:21 which says " They say unto him, Caesarβs. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesarβs; and unto God the things that are Godβs." I found it so interesting that he included a bible verse in his lyrics considering his previous stances on religion. I would love to pick his brain on why he chose this particular line.
Lizzie
2022-12-06 17:00:35 +0000 UTCYeah I noticed that rhyme scheme and its FIRE! But didn't notice the Burn it Up call out from Tablo. Nice! I love his style. And yeah RM is a master of Rhythm & Poetry for real.
WhatchaGot2Say
2022-12-06 12:50:16 +0000 UTCI really recommend to listen to Epik High (with lyrics of course) in your own time; as I delved into their discography it became more and more clear where BTS got their inspiration from. Also the concept of "Map of the Soul" and "Black Swan" was also inspired by Epik High. If you need some recommendations, my personal favorites are: Lesson Zero, People Scare Me, Amor Fati, Over, Home Is Far Away
Laura Winchester
2022-12-06 11:58:20 +0000 UTCFor me Yun is a nice chill reflection song. At the end of the day just having a πΉ or π΅ and reflecting on the day or what ever is going on in our life. πStill Life got that Funky Groove π but for some reason it also reminded me of Drum Line. All Day a πͺFighting! Song, just get out there a do ya thang. Forg_tful was nice and calming for me even after looking up the lyrics. Closer I really like this R&B collab. Change Pt. 2 that beat π§πΆ. Lonely love the minimal instruments and just Namjoon singing. Hectic is a nice driving song, just cruising around at night. Wild Flower π₯² my feels are still π’ when ever I listen to it. Blaze is right, we here for each other. No. 2 another chill song but more like a walking in the park than sitting at π‘ unwinding. This album has been on π at work for me since it dropped, no skips.

2022-12-06 07:22:47 +0000 UTCLove the album and it gets better every listen. I am starting to be able to listen to wildflower without ugly crying so that's a win.
Lily Wrenn
2022-12-06 06:47:16 +0000 UTCAll day: The rhyming scheme though. Artificial intelligence needs to get lost, f*** the algorithm/ I need to get lost in meditation, f*** all the rhythm/ Giving me no time to think is my biorhythm/ μΈμ μ―€ μ¨λ³΄κ² λ κΉ λλ§μ μλ [sineun] When will I get to write my own poem I left the last Korean line in because we need ton ote he rhymed the Korean word sieun with the last word in the previous 3 lines. Namjoon is a damn lyrical king in two languages. Tablo went OFF, though. I love his verse, but in the 2nd part of his verse, he hits BTS call outs 3 times, not just the two. First line is "Burn it up", then we got Dynamite in our DNA to close it out; the way I cheered.

2022-12-06 06:01:13 +0000 UTC:settles in: I've been in starfish mode since the drop. Also, I tend to find that accurate lyrics [without the cultural references] will be on genius. It's my first pic for just the lyrics. Doolset for lyrics and cultural details and rhyme scheme notes. [I love Doolset]. Yun: I took it to mean that we have to live, to experience: love, joy, pain, wonder, fear, desire. To actually live a life in order to truly create something. That living, and reflecting on that life, is the silence before the art. Also, I don't know about you, but I have said that some of their best work has come directly from their pain/hardships. True beauty is true sadness now you can feel my madness" Still Life: So funky, I love Anderson.Paak here, he is the perfect touch. The shade cast over me by yesterday and tomorrow./I just calmly live errytime. . I take these two lines as living in all times, past, present, and future, not hampered by the past or fearing the future while living in the present; he's always on time. I'm also really fond of the line Trendsetter/ I'm a friend better. I can't scream about how much this line slaps. being someone's friend is better than being the world's trend.

2022-12-06 05:45:13 +0000 UTCWild flower and No. 2 are my favorite

2022-12-06 05:37:34 +0000 UTCβ£οΈNico... I fight every day too! My soul misses my mom. My heart still beats her rhythm. I miss her every single day. I can't say that enough. But to hear you express those same pains... as strange as this sounds, it's comforting. You're not alone my friend. Thank you for reviewing this amazing work of art. Blaze was feeling it too. I do love the way he snaps his fingers! I feel it through the screen. Lol It's awesome!!! You guys are the best! π

2022-12-06 04:36:46 +0000 UTCThank you for this great video! You make such a valuable contribution to this world ππ Also PLEASE check out Epik High esp their latest album, Here part 2. Tablo is an incredible person who went through some ridiculous hardship. Iβm amazed it didnβt break him. Thereβs a reason why Suga and RM respect him so much. Here is a podcast where he talks about it https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-authentic-the-story-of-ta-92746732/

2022-12-06 02:34:01 +0000 UTCHi, Heather- they uploaded a reaction to Jin's appearance on the Hal Myung Soo Show a couple days ago as a birthday celebration. It's just one before this link. ;)
Terri Beth
2022-12-06 02:25:55 +0000 UTCIt IS a masterpiece! And I'm looking forward to the upload of the Magazine Film video. I'm so happy you filmed it. <3 Also, many hugs from another who is missing a mom they were very close to. Sometimes things really hit your heart, especially music. xx

2022-12-06 02:23:17 +0000 UTCYay!! Iβve been waiting for this one.. this album is extraordinary ππ
Theycallmecaro
2022-12-06 01:15:24 +0000 UTCI've read so much discussion about how it's such an album for people in their 20's and I see that, but I feel this album so strongly at an age double that. It makes me lose my words and I go through a whole decade of emotions in the 35 min run time it plays. It's the best album I've ever experienced (because to me it's an experience not a listen). I listen and suddenly I'm dancing, I'm raging, I'm fucking lonely, I'm longing, I'm crying, I have chills, I'm comforted, I'm inspired...and it's over and over again and again as I keep playing it. It's just so raw and geniune, I feel it's my heart under this ugly mask that I wear. It's just so hard to explain, so instead I try to talk about it with people around me and sound like a blubbering fool. I'm so glad to get to "talk" it out with you guys. I feel like all of us are touched and united in the humanity of Namjoon. group hug guys!
Ema
2022-12-06 01:08:17 +0000 UTCThis is a masterpiece from RM but I am a little disappointed that you have not shown Jin any love for his birthday considering he leaves for the military on the 13th Dec ππ
Heather Miller
2022-12-06 00:37:12 +0000 UTCYou should watch the magazine interview that RM has, he goes through all the songs, plus the artist who appeared on the album are also in the interview giving their though as well plus the producers of is worth a watch very informative here the link https://youtu.be/lRy8OYhLO-A
Heather Miller
2022-12-05 23:00:46 +0000 UTCNo cause I'm a shooter for y'all fr, teb toes down on the group for yall. Wishing you happiness & peace in everything you do.I think it's incredibly beautiful to share your feelings with us Nico. Tearing up just listening to the stories you have shared with us and realizing how much you continue to grow and be strong as you bare out your heart to us in the editing, reaction and words. I hope like Joon says indigo becomes a apart of your lifelong playlist and it's one of the many flowers in your overflowing meadow . Blaze is so right it's something about her voice like it's very powerful, emotionally striken like this was such a beautiful lil listening party ahh. Also good luck to Sam, may she beat the other teams to a pulp !

2022-12-05 21:45:21 +0000 UTCLooking forward to settling in tonight to watch this. I listened to it first without any translations and then again with what I could find. Namjoonβ¦ dude! Youβre amazing. Thank Nico! A second 1st listen.

2022-12-05 21:24:20 +0000 UTCHi guyz, great reaction! Oh my god I love this album and because its RM I purchased it on the pre order. I was able to find a little gem from Paul Blanco called Summer https://youtu.be/EpeokNluPOo. This is a good song too it features BE'O he sounds good too. I am not familiar with their music. Also the last song No.2 with Park JiYoon made sings Coming of Age Ceremony, that's the song the Jimin and JK danced to. I am not sure what show they were on however there are YT videos of them practicing. ππ
DinaArmyMom
2022-12-05 21:21:49 +0000 UTCI think what you were saying about you being different from other reactors is so true. Besides the perspectives you being to the table, you are the only ones I've seen that not only take the art you reacted to it and add on to it and make it to something wonderful and completely your own while still paying homage. The channel in itself reminds me so much of bts's dedication to their craft and the love& sincerity they put into. Y'all are way similar than you realize like
Dy'Nasha
2022-12-05 21:02:15 +0000 UTCI enjoyed your reaction. Indigo is another album i will cherish forever. The vulnerability and transparency in this just makes me love it more. I appreciated RM poetry and lyricism before but this just takes it to a new height. Also about people creating that uncomfortable circumstances regarding the lyrics fact check. I am sorry you have to go through that. I hope people actually learn to be human before they approach certain scenarios. Hope you guys are doing well?. Also if you want you can check out suchiwita( suga's new YouTube channel that RM was a guest on) they both have an insightful conversation that I am sure you would want to see. Borahaeπ
mammalay
2022-12-05 20:57:22 +0000 UTCYESSS so excited. I have yet to sit down and read all the lyrics cause im also waiting for doolset as well. But to translate what Nico said in 7yr army language , they are human. And don't need 609 ppl getting on them for something that was out of mistake. These are not people of malice but one of the best groups of reactors we've had that don't overract, be disingenious, and haven't used BTS name for clout just to go to other groups. Go easy on them! I hope that feeling doesn't last in those moments Nico and you plus the rest of the gang are happy and at peace. Now to Miss Indigo..my fav daughter. I love her so much?. Joon bared his entire person into this album and the lyrics to me are revealing and it strikes different emotions in me.It was so good to listen to it all again with you, your thoughts as well are enlightening and lovely to hear ! ππ thankyou again for or another great reaction! And your hard work that you do for us without fail!
Dy'Nasha
2022-12-05 20:50:59 +0000 UTCI. CANT. WAIT!!!!!!! I've been EARGLY anticipating your reaction. I've had a few days to really dive deep on my own, so this is like a 2nd listening party for me! Gonna grab myself a cocktail and dive into this after work! As always Nico, THANK YOU for all your hard work!!! Lπ

2022-12-05 20:44:52 +0000 UTCNice reaction! I found this other gem by Paul Blanco its a jam ft BE'O Here's the link if you want to check it out. https://youtu.be/EpeokNluPOo RM is hooking us up with other artists.
