RM saying he wants to remove some songs from Mono actually indicates that he is now at a better place because mono came from a very dark place. Though there are a lot of us who are still in that place, who are still connected to mono so deeply, we are very happy for rm too 😊
Facts!! Well said
Do you really think it's the dark ones he wanna remove or not just that he doesn't feel so satisfied with some now? I have a hard time believing he would wanna remove songs for that reason. Did he say that specifically and I missed it?
And I do not feel they are so dark either in a negative way. They just feel human.
@@Cookie_moonlove I dont know (and honestly dont even want to know) which songs he would remove. He did say in the interview that although he is proud of some the tracks he wants some them gone too. I think it’s not the satisfaction part that bothers him, i guess it would be that he doesnt feel attached to the songs as much.
One specific comparison i would like to do: in Tokyo he says "And ash is the thing that someday we all should be" but in Still Life he says "life is better than the dead I'll prove it"
Again, in Seoul, he was so out of emotion that Love and Hate, two opposite but strong emotions was same to him. Indigo shows us how much he has changed and grown, the monochrome became indigo, a shade of blue
I hope that's reason, because mono is a Masterpiece. It is literal perfection and Indigo is such a great follow-up. We are truly privileged to be living in the time of a genius
@@HBoyle
I wanna produce/write like him!
I am ARMY but, as just a music lover, if this is not up for best album at the Grammys there is something wrong. The rapping, the lyrics, the musicality, the variety. Amazing. You should watch his Indigo Magazine Interview where his collaborators are also interviewed.💜
The re-listen value of this album is so high.
It cannot be said for every album. Most of them have 1-2 good songs. But I can tell it will keep on growing on people for a long time.
Agree, strongly. This album is quite literally a work of art.
Agree. This is the type of album I play even in the background at home. I can't pick even a top5, I seriously love them all. It's a beautiful album. It is very rare for me to not skip over at least 1 song.
@@Launibu Yun is such a vibe to play in the bg tho 🥰
@@shivangiagrawal2665 yes, true. Western artists especially are notorious for putting out a 20 song album with 1 or 2 songs worth listening to and the rest is trash totally skipping haha
at the end of all day ft. tablo, the line that says "we fly" is a reference to the song fly by epik high (the iconic korean hip hop group tablo is a part of) and that's actually the song that inspired both rm and suga to start rapping. epik high were their idols and now they're great friends making art together, more than a decade later.
there is another line too from fly
Lonely came to be when he was in Las Vegas. He felt so traped at that time. His most favourite activity is visiting museums but he couldnt do that too so he was down. He did a live during that stay in LV, he talked about a lot of things how the industry captures us, bts and army in a certain way.
Ps. Lonely is the type of song where im dancing my ass out and crying my eyes out at once
was it the live in the black hoodie where he said he didn't want to have a kid like him? That was a funny description sorry lol
It really didn’t help that it was still high pandemic and they were trying not to catch anything
slapped, but sad
We appreciate Michael’s detailed analyses. He seems to have phenomenal insights.
♥️sophia♥️
Michael is amazingly brilliant.👌 ❤
About the collaborators, do note that Tablo from Epik High also started as a poet/writer and inspired RM to rap and do music with the iconic song, FLY. Also, love that all the women singers on this album are mature talents that he respects: Erikah Badu (51), Youjeen (49 y.o. Rocker), Park Jiyoon (40)…
33:27 Pdogg is the only one that can produce a happy beat to a fvckin sad song 😅😂
Me, going around screaming: "I'm fvckin lonely" randomly while smiling 😭😅😂
Mono is dark, raw and painfully beautiful he's in a better place now
So true...Mono will always be no.1 for me...
So glad he is in a better place…
And then indigo is just the continuation of mono which keeps getting better
Mono fr is a healing album. Indigo is like still life and wild flower scent, im happy he is better too

Honestly I think you would adore epik high which is the khip hop group that tablo is in, they’re the group that inspired both suga and rm to start rapping and they’ve been in the industry for quite a while, they are a lot of kpop idols inspiration and they really respect and love bts as well. You would be mind blown with their lyrics, especially Taboo’s I have been waiting for RM and Tablo to do a song together for years because they both are the definition of giving you an existential crisis with their lyrics. I was actually surprised the song was more upbeat but I’m not complaining. Suga also produced a song for them as well called ‘eternal sunshine’ I know you have a lot of artists to react to but if you ever get a chance to listen to an epik high album I think you’d love it.
If you ever do I would recommend the albums ‘we’ve done something wonderful’ or ‘epik high is here part 1’ for a first listen to
Replay value of this album is insane it's like I'm addicted to it, it really resonated with me. I think it's because I love so many genres like namjoon does and it all balances out
Honestly, this album is an other masterpiece and it deserves a grammy
I wonder if Joon will submit it. & other biggest point is academy accepting it. I hope This album do get the recognition it can. Also JITB also deserves the best. I am proud Hobi was Top 10 for rolling Stone ranking.
@@JaserKing123 exactly, JITB is a masterpiece too, but honestly I don’t trust the grammys lmao, even if he submits it, this album will not be recognized
@@clxxra7296 If he re-release the entire album in English it will definitely win record of the year but no one needs to change their roots to actually get acknowledged for what they deserve and scammys don't deserve him
@@colourpurples9152 spill 💀
How lucky are we to have BTS music and now fantastic works from J Hope and RM, the beautiful song by Jin. Now waiting for the rest of the boys! J Hope´s concert trully has been one of the best in years!!!!!! Busan was also fantastic......
wow this must be the best review of indigo until now. you really get RM and can relate and understand him. other reactors go with the feel of the songs and not valuing the lyrics to as much as you do.
it´s so nice to see because RM shines in his lyrics
This album made me want rm and zayn collab
You cannot do this to my heart
Rm loves zayn too 🙊 MANIFESTING it
Wait which zayn???
I didn’t watch the interview that you did, but I watched a different interview where he talked about the songs from this album, and Still Life, was the name of an art exhibit he attended at a museum, years ago. He said that he was struck by how all the flowers and fruit in the paintings had been dead and decayed hundreds of years ago in some cases, but still looked fresh on the canvas. And then he drew the parallel to his life. So much of his life has been captured, not on canvas, but on video. But the RM captured in those moments is not who he is anymore because he keeps changing and developing and moving on from moment to moment. It’s a cool concept but for some reason it also made me a little bit sad.
I’ve been waiting for your review of Indigo. I’m still trying to decide which song is my favorite; they’re all so good. So excited to hear your opinion!
yeah me too.. like for my first listen it was All day then Change-Still Life but now I really like Wildflower
Can I just say... I like you. I like the work you do here, and how you do it. Thank you for checking out bts and the solo albums and I hope your army journey has and will be as fulfilling as it was for me.
50:36 IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS, YOUJEEN SUMMONING AN ANGEL, AND RM LYRICISM 💜💜🫂
I adore it when you review BTS albums because you truly get it.. You have come to understand the person behind the art and how much of their bare souls go into their music. You listen with sincerity and it's so lovely.. By the way, I had the same reaction to Change pt.2! The ever-changing dissonance was so deliciously perfect and RM's delivery was so unusual, dark and grungy, though it wasn't loud or forceful. He said he recorded it when he was drunk to the beat of a metronome. I think eAeon who produced the track did an incredible job with all those strange sounds that were perfectly dissonant. They really are not nt to be together, but produce such a fascinating clash that it has me hooked.
Indigo is such a work of art and heart.. I'm so damn proud of Namjoon. From the lyricism to the delivery and every single artistic choice, he displayed such depth and knowledge. Coz how do you create an album so diverse with all these artists and know exactly who you need on which track to express exactly what you mean? RM mentioned that each of the collaborators were his first choice for each song and that's crazy.. It's also a testament to his artistry that he could bring all of them together to create this masterpiece..
I really appreciate that you watched his interview before you reacted because you understood his story more as you reacted. Thank you so much for this and I hope we get to see you react to mono soon as well! I'm happy he doesn't feel connected to the darkness of that mixtape but it still hold a special place in armys hearts, I even got a tattoo inspired by it ♡
This album already has such a special place in my heart. I’m glad namjoon (rm) said that once he releases the music, it’s not his anymore. It’s the audiences. Because this albums feels like mine.
Thank you for your intelligent reaction. I shall stay around to give this way of running your reaction a big chance. Aloha from Hawaii! It's a great time to be on a break! I am even liking his swearing. So much quality makes me crave post videos or live performance at Rolling Hall. truly some more to curate.
I am really not even being biased, but I really do thing this album deserves a Grammy. It is so well produced and put together. The lyrics are so intricate, the themes are so powerful. The stories, everything was made so well with this project.
You have to watch Indigo film magazine by RM it’s where RM speaks about each track and where each collaborator added their comments.
and here he is: my favorite album "reviewer" Michael Beveraggi!! will never get tired of his album reaction!!💜
There are no words that can even begin to describe how much of a genius Namjoon is. He blended his love of music, nature, poetry and art so perfectly in this album. His lyrics hit you right in the heart and make you feel heard and understood. Also can we talk about his vocals in Forg_tful?? Like please what can't this man do? And that last lyric of Lonely destroyed me, as well as the entirety of Wild Flower. Every single song is an absolute masterpiece, there are 0 skips. Catchy melodies, meaningful lyrics, fire production, insane collabs, visuals, vocals, honesty, RANGE!!! This album has it all. It's going to be a classic for sure! He poured his heart and soul, and it was so gut-wrenchingly beautiful!!! Everyone please keep streaming Indigo on all platforms, let's do this for Namjoon because he deserves every bit of success!
Also, just wanted to let you know that JITB was ranked #9 on Rolling Stones 100 Best Albums of 2022!!! 😊
This album is a masterpiece and I loved your reaction!
Late to watching this but absolutely loved your reaction. You truly enjoy and understand the essence of RM as much as he has shown us. Watching you react was like sharing this beautiful thing with a friend. Thank you very much.
kudos, man. I've never watched a reaction with such detail and empathy.
You should watch the NPR Tiny Desk concert he did where he explains the inspiration for Yun and Still Life, which are both based on things he realised in museums
Thank you for the video. Amazing reaction as always and seeing your appreciating, the time you dedicated to listen the interview and talk about it its soo cool. Thank you so much for bring love to RM work. And yes we are really proud of Indigo. As someone who passed the twenties recently I can related A LOT with Indigo and mono. I highly recommend to you check Mono too :)
MY FAVE REACTOR YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I actually watched the full hour of the video because your insight in the music was so honestly nice to hear. you understood where he was coming from and even went as far as listening to the interview he did with Zach to have a better perspective of it. so I really thank you for being such a true and honest music lover. I really enjoyed your music comments and I did want to say, he has 80 million streams so far already, just in the first week which is crazy!! but so we'll deserved .
Wow I am early,I was waiting for this 😂💜
Great breakdown and analysis, really appreciated all your commentaries throughout!
Change pt.2 at first listen I couldn't even form an opinion on it, it's just under 2min but man what a crazy 2min. On second listen I digested and by 3rd listen I just totally fell in love with the genius of that song! And the fact that he recorded this drunk and that it was just the demo it just feels so raw! All 10 tracks have such strong and different identities!
And I totally confirm the replay value is high, I believe most tracks are gonna stay with me for a long time
Yes! I was waiting for your reaction!!! I know you'll love it
Yes. In 19:49 is the sounds of them walking, the sound of the jeans ripping
In the Indigo Magazine Film on BANGTANTV channel they talked about that and I tough it was such a nice detail for the song
I was waiting for your change pt 2 reaction and it didn’t disappoint 🤣 love your videos and how you breakdown everything from the production to the lyrics, it give me a whole new insight into how I view some of the songs and makes me love some of the songs a lot more! You’re completing right he is bending genres and he is so much more than a rapper. This is a no skip album for me! Thank you Michael❤
thank you so much for your reaction! love your profound and detailed insights, it's good to hear someone appreciate RM's art and mind as much as I do.
always help me understand their music better, listening to your perspective. yes, RM should be proud, we are so proud and thankful to him for this project
at 19:40 you could hear them walking and the rustling of their jackets. if i remember correctly, the producer secretely recorded rm and sawol and included it in the song. rm liked the sound of it so it made it to the final cut.
I love you album reactions, I always get more prespective on the songs. RM finished with No.2 to close out his 20's
He said he is on to the 2nd part of his career. Also did you hear he recorded Change pt2 drunk and they ended up using that vocal! It is a VIBE!!!
So Seoul is the Capital City of South Korea, and it's pronounced just like the word Soul. About the flowers with no names. I interpreted that to be ARMY's, because he's RM, and that is not really a name, he is still trying to find Real Me, and ARMY's are many times just faces to him, because when he see's us, there are upwards of 50.000 of us at a time. So he couldn't know our names, he just knows us as ARMY's. He want's to be with the flowers with no names. I dont know if it's right, but the purple represents ARMY, and the flower petals flying around him are purple flower petals in the field of lavendar wild flowers. I really love this video and I love his music. This is his final archive of his 20's. He just turned 28 in September, and in Korean age he turns 30 on January 1st, so he considers himself 30 now.
A fun fact - for his performance in Seoul at Rolling Hall, he held a raffle for 200 ARMY's, to win a ticket to his performance. It's a small performance hall that holds 200 people, and when he was an underground rapper, he dreamed about performing there. He chose this place for perfoming INDIGO with some of his Korean collaborators, and he had ARMY's come without their ARMY Bombs or Cell Phones. He was so happy. He got to be with the flowers with no names, and he could see their faces up close in an intimate setting. What I would have given to be there. If you get a chance, you should watch it. That would be an awesome reaction.
This youtube creator does BTS subtitles and translations using doolset bangtan, and she has most of their solo projects subtitled, with live performances. She has the Rolling Hall perforances broken up into single or double songs. www.youtube.com/@EnjoyBTSmore/videos
So glad I chose to wait on listening to the full album reactions and listened to yours first. I loved it ….
Thank you for your thoughtful, so fully expressed ideas 💜
ive been thinking this for awhile but all of bts' music so far, group projects or solo, are all diaries entries. the beginning of this song when he says he imagined an end where he can applaud and smile even before they fully started their career is so reminiscent of the sentiment and messages of hyyh pt 2 album (the most beautiful moments in life part 2). When he says the line about even becoming friends with his shadows is pulling directly from the map of the soul era when they delved in deep into their psyche and came to terms with everything between bright and dark within them. That was necessary for them to give us what this era (chapter 2) is. Towards the end of this song when he says he'll plant his feet now but he'll return some day is on beat with the messages of Yet To Come.
They truly let us witness and learn from their growth as people and public figures from their bodies of work. Its honestly a privilege to be able to consume their art.
I am very grateful for this reaction 🌸
That fact that he says "somebody call me" in lonely which was when bts were in Las Vegas this April for concerts then 2 months later, in June when 'hiatus' or disbandment (as per stupid media) news came out he said that he got the most calls since their debut :( imagine ppl not contacting you during for your accomplishments, during your lonely times and then the bombardment of calls and messages when the fake 'disbandment' news comes out..
Thank you so much for sharing your reactions and the thoughts about our favourite music with us. Was really looking up to seeing this !!!!
Rap for RM is poetry and rhythm. He saying poetry protected him, might be him saying that music protected him. Music of course brought ARMY to him, it's his solace and it's his dream always.
Omg i’ve been waiting for your reaction to this album🥹 so excited to watch!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LETS GOOOOO
Love it, Namjoon is such an artist, firt RM, then Mono, then Indigo now RPWP, and of course his amazings collabs in betweet, my favorite bts' member from faaaaaar
Again, loved this a lot! I love how u try to figure out what’s going on and what he’s telling us all! You should definitely check out Don’t Ever Say Love Me (Colde x RM), Smoke Sprite (Soyoon x RM), SEXY NUKIM (balming tiger x RM), Strange (Agust D x RM), and Change (RM x Wale), I think you would really enjoy them too!
Genial el album Indigo como todo lo q realiza Rm ❤🙏🇨🇱
RM’s second album is OUT. Right person wrong place. You might want to check it out too! It’s really dope!
Just a beautiful album, thanks michael
So in an interview video that was released on BangtanTV, Namjoon went through each song and described this process behind them. For lonely, he mentioned that he wrote the song while stuck in a hotel room, and he absolutely hated that room. It's a song about his pent up emotions during that time, and having a feeling of being homesick (I assume when they're amidst a busy overseas schedule).
yess i love your reactions, thank you for this💜
Fun or awesome fact: RM was drunk when he recorded the vocals on Change Part 2, and they kept it. Watch his Indigo Magazine video on Bangtan TV for all the tea!
39:37 IT'S SEOUL, AND IT IS REFERENCE WITH SEOUL "I STILL LOVE AND HATE THIS CITY" WHICH HE SANG ON MONO SONG CALLED SEOUL "I LOVE YOU SEOUL, I HATE YOU SEOUL".
At 48:27 that is tradional korean firework festival known as 'Nakhwa Nori'
Wait I thought that's Chinese firework festival?
@@abiisaqib7816 a traditional firework team was credited in the mv. Although i dont know much about the chinese firework, as far as i know it is held in Korea during buddha's birthday or full moon. So i guess it could be similar to the chinese fireworks too
@@mai_boo oh ok..that makes sense...
Everytime I come here I want to talk SO MUCH, then I have to rethink it otherwise I'd write a whole fucking essay in your comments. Change pt. 2 is by far my favorite track in the album, and besides that every time I hear the album again, my favorite tracks change again. I had the feeling you'd like Closer! And hectic as well. And about the end of hectic when he says "I still love and hate this city", it talks about Seoul, yes, and the verse itself is a reference to the song "Seoul" in Mono, that he talks about his relation with the city. And in Wild Flower, I loved the part in the MV where it comes back and forth between him with the microphone and him with the flowers, because it's the contrast between RM of BTS and BTS, that are firework, and himself that is/wants to be just a Wild Flower/a Flowerwork.
This is my first time watching your channel. I see you can appreciate good art the moment I saw the Breaking Bad poster :). RM is amazing artist and this album is outstanding I hope stays with many people's hearts
I love your lecture of any song and of the whole album!! Yeah!! It's like a tour at a museum... his love for art + his poetry = another masterpiece!! He said he regrets some part of Mono, he shouldn't do it... because we appreciate/love any single step on that mixtape!
Thanks for your reaction!!! Emotional, complete, and, t me, very relatable... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You can watch Indigo Magazine Film where he explains everything about his album for better understanding 😊
always appreciate your album reactions, number one ☝️ thank you for checking out indigo, i'm an army but once again i find myself impressed by RM' brain ig lol, it's too good, can't stop listening to it
Love your reactions to RM’s project. There’s a video, I think is called RM magazine for indigo where he breaks down each song along with the all the Artists on the track.
Oh my God, I am so so excited to watch this!! Thank you for reacting to Indigo💜💙
I was almost waiting for your reaction because you are genuine and honest and you genuinely try to understand them
I really appreciate your reaction! 💜 For me, this album from top to bottom has the most replayability of any album. Ever. (Alongside Rumours by Fleetwood Mac)
Best album reviewer out there! Appreciate you, and this reaction as well, and always look forward to your insights!!
Change pt.2 is my favorite song eAeon and RM did such an amazing work with this song(this song is more eaeon type of music). Btw that kind of music is known as hyperpop...idk it sounds so psychedelic🔥
Fun fact: namjoon recorded the song drunk😆
35:40 MY FAVORITE HECTIC, I LOVE CITY POP
Indigo magazine film is a great insight and will make you appreciate the album even more. All the featuring artists are also interviewed. You should watch it for sure.
CHANGE PT 2 IS LITERALLY MY SONGGG IT FR OPENED MY THIRD EYE LMAOOO
Tablo is in a korean rap/hip hop group called Epik High (BTS have referenced Epik High in a number of their own songs), Epik High was one of the main groups I first heard in the kpop music sphere before BTS even debuted, Since they are an older group they had influenced BTS in many ways, they are amazing. So if you want more Tablo, check out Epik high
41:34🌟 well said
Hearing this after Still Life definitely changes my interpretation of it
I think you'd love Indigo Album Megazine Film
Mono es un hermoso trabajo, las letras, el sonidos es precioso por favor reacciona al mixtape🛐
omg yes finally from my favorite reactor will wait for mono too im so excited
Always here since the first BTS reaction and still loving the deep analyses
I was so excited to get your reaction and it didn't disappoint!
WOWWW, that intro is freaking awesome
I love watching your reactions. I've been following you since you reacted to the 5SOS album. would love to see you react to Years and Years albums.
I was waiting for your reaction because you always have something nice to say 💜
I always thought that indigo is the project where Namjoon has tried to reconcile (or at least explore) the two sides of the "frame" that is - one: him being the one people look at (the same way people look at art, everyone focuses on his life, his career, his work as if he's the one on display), and the other being him as the observer, him as a human who can also consume art and enjoy being on the other side of the frame, as someone who is free from the four corners that people keep him in (or at least their perspective or interpretation of who he is).
That's why I always felt like the first few tracks really focused on the art, or him as an artist, and the fact that he collaborated with the biggest names/ his idols kind of supports that for me. It's like him saying "it has gone full circle. These are people I admired, and now, I'm collaborating with them". I felt like it was him acknowledging that he has reached that level of success already, but also as the album continues, it's kind of like a journey to grounding, or redefining success. That's why it is ironic to me that Wildflower sounds the "biggest" like "I've reached the pinnacle/ the top" even though it talks about rooting himself to the ground, and that's what makes him feel the most free. The song almost feels like a sigh of relief to me. Like letting go of all the burdens and expectations, and being free to be yourself, and that's a different kind of success in itself.
Mono is a masterpiece but yeah its pretty dark so I am happy he is in a better place now ❤️ lookimg forward to your me ono reaction as well!
RM said this album was his personal emotional album but he will be releasing another album before he go's into "Mandatory Military Service 2023.
He didn't say what can of album the 2nd one will be.
This is why each member is doing their individual solo album so when they go into Mandatory Military they will have some music out here for 18mos-2 years.
Jin did a single he leave for military 12/13/22.
J-Hope, RM and
Suga is still working on album.
Those 3 leave for Military in 2023.
Jimin, V and Jungkook their still working on solo albums now, they leave together for military in 2024.
BTS will be finish military service at end of 2025.
Such a comfort album 💜 Tysm for your reaction
Loved this, thank you for sharing!
I waited for you to do this ❤️
I’ve been waiting for this
I hope you could react/watch the Indigo Magazine Film it's a good short film about the album! And I just love it when Namjoon is talking about his music and I love hearing his thoughts 😌 He is the most fascinating and intelligent person I know!
I had the same reaction to Change pt 2 😭💀 fxk the last song like it's sooo good!! The beat everything his voice the way he sings it
I wish I could become a song or inject it into my blood stream
Finally u reacted to it!!! I waited for youuuu🎉
He explains the whole process in the "indigo Documentary " it's pretty cool
omg I've been waiting for this video
my favorite music reactor and my favorite kpop boy im so happy rn
Indigo is pure art!
all of the songs in the album is so Good. But my Personal Favorate is gonna be Closer, because i love the Vibe and all of their sounds and tone are compliment each other
