In case anyone's interested: Supreme Boi only got his hands on one track (it's Tokyo) but he never got his hands on anywhere else.

Also moonchild is a masterpiece.

what exactly is the deal with SB? I really don't know

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

He's written a bunch of questionable (honestly nasty) stuff and is affiliated with quite a number of questionable (read: also nasty) people. This Tumblr post (http://injincible.tumblr.com/post/171653844497/injincible-please-dont-idolize-supreme-boi) does a better job explaining it and idk about majority of the fandom but the ones I do get to interact with only thank him for producing but would rather he just leave BTS alone lol.

[mallmouse.livejournal.com]

ugh, rape fantasy ?? Keep away, RM (and the rest)

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Aw man, Tokyo was has my favourite melody by far /long-suffering sigh/.
Besides that tho others I like so far are Seoul and Pass By with Nell.

[katheli.livejournal.com]

Tokyo might be the best thing SB has ever produced
Still don't like him tho.

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info! Wish he would just go to the army already...(Supreme Boi, not RM)

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Lowkey, I was not ready for it to be this good #wig (and I adore the style of the mv)

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

Full album already available on Spotify

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

It's also available on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/album/0XqAZHNx0xJDObehTI2587?si=QUr0hnlYQm-7tJdYChpXeg) and iTunes/Apple Music (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mono/1439732979).

I'm on my second listen and it's still so hard to pick a favourite, but it's among seoul, moonchild, uhgood and everythingoes

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the links! I was having a hard time looking for them ngl lol I'm gonna edit them in in a bit!

Mine definitely has to be moonchild then seoul. I've always been a sucker for tracks like those + I'm a big HONNE fan so I'm in love tbh.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

The album is up on Apple Music too!

Seoul and Moonchild are my favorites so far. I see you Namjoon releasing music for me to sit in my room in complete darkness and contemplate life to.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

The song with Nell omg. We're not worthy.

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

First song I listened to!

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

I was not ready for that NELL track honestly omg

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

oh :(

“forever rain” wrecked me. mx. youtubelargo told me all the songs are wreck worthy, so i'll have to be listening to the rest once i'm done with coursework

Girl I came back to just see your post and thoughts on this. May our fellow turtles all unite under this beautiful man.

[katheli.livejournal.com]

woooooooowwwww
this is so my style and so amazing
my favourite mixtape/playlist any of them have put out so far.

[yungchibiusa.livejournal.com]

i've been crying all morning, this is so beautiful

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I saw the teaser yesterday and am still surprised it came out so soon. He’s been talking about it for a while though and I’m still somehow caught off guard lol. I saw a few army’s posting the English translations on tumblr but I haven’t gotten the chance to listen to it. RM is such a bias wrecker for me, one of the most interesting idols out there. Can’t wait to listen to this when I have the time.

[jazzygyu.livejournal.com]

I didn’t even see the translation about the torso lol. I saw that line about when it rains he feels like he has a friend. I thought we were done with sad RM but I guess he still feels a lot of pressure. I wonder if he will upload a Vlive about the album like he does with BTS albums. I would love to hear his thoughts on it.

[mallmouse.livejournal.com]

this is really good. I hope he gets the recognition his high IQ deserves.
btw, no post on the BTS video of their UN speech? It's so good (and I still don't have the guts to make a post here).

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

I wanna post it but the subs aren't available so :(

[mallmouse.livejournal.com]

Still don't get why bighit doesn't bother to release such videos with subtitles. Good thing good people still exist (and so does dailymotion)

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6vuukq

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

I wasted 15 whole minutes yesterday trying to figure out how to get a dailymotion video to embed before giving up. I imagine someone has or will put one up on YouTube

[anonymous-loljk.livejournal.com]

Someone did, but it got reposted immediately. The OP found out so she took down the youtube link and then reposted it on dailymotion.

[22-taken.livejournal.com]

Namjoon did not disappoint. I can't pick my favourite track but I like forever rain, seoul, 어긋, everythingoes the most. The track with NELL is everything.

[mandm13.livejournal.com]

I have to admit I'm not usually a fan of Namjoon's solo stuff, but this album has a chill/sad vibe I like (I smiled when I saw the name of track "badbye", this boy loves wordplays a lot). I wanna have a look at the English translation of the lyrics, I'm sure they will be interesting

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I was listening to his with headphones and the bass goes straight to your chest.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

Honestly these type of songs aren't my favorite, each track I've listened while working and did not leave any impression (some tracks I didnt notice it's already changing songs) BUTTT I really like "uhgood". I eventually stopped drawing and listened to it carefully O_O

"Everythingoes" sounds pretty good, but hmmm need to listen to it again.

Also I love "Forever Rain"!! This is the first track I've listened to (of course, from the MV) and he made a really good choice to make this one as title track. It reminds me of how I got into BTS because I listened to Reflection on random in Spotify. I couldn't stop listening to Reflection, and Forever Rain eventhough it sounds different than that, still carries similar vibe that I love. And God, I'm super in love with the guitar sound. He did a really good job with this song ugh

Now I kinda need an Agust D comeback bec I love the entire mixtape last time.

[sheisagentleman.livejournal.com]

ia. it’s not my style but i will still support and listen to it as background music because i love namjoon and despite my personal taste, i don’t think it’s bad music at all.

[aeipathy.livejournal.com]

i really appreciate the more mellow vibes of this album. moonchild and everything goes are my favorites so far. seoul is gonna be the perfect song for driving late at night on an empty road lol. also how dare badbye be short, this is blue side all over again.

[infj23.livejournal.com]

I have so many feelings.

I don't like it :( I was looking forward to it. I loved the concert art, but it sounded monotonous--which was probably the point. I'm sure it's a good listen when in a room alone and contemplating life. Still, it doesn't really move me. Maybe when lyric translations are out I'll feel differently but I doubt it.

That being said, it seems like an honest reflection of him. It's so him...not trying to be like someone else, not trying to fit others' expectations of him...the album sounds cohesive from beginning to end. It's amazing to watch him grow from Do You to Forever Rain.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

this is so good and lovely and even better than i expected from him but at the same time it makes me feel so much for him because the lyrics are so sad and he sounds so lonely. i hope he gets the support he needs.

i haven't listened to the rest of the playlist (right?) yet, but this is such a great start. the mv is beautiful and fits the song and namjoon so well.

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

I just saw the Vulture review. I love how they described it as cleansing because it did feel so chill and relaxing lmao especially when listened to on really great earphones/speakers.

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

i wasn't feeling forever rain, so i was kinda afraid i wouldn't like the rest of the album (turns out i didn't need to worry bc the rest is👌). confession time; i've never been the biggest fan of namjoon's singing and rap style. when rapping it sounds like he's pronouncing the words w a contrived american accent and when singing he sometimes tries too hard to emote and ends up sounding a bit... constipated. while listening i was slowly but surely able to look past this and just get lost in the songs. i really love the overall ambient vibe and it's a positive change from his prior work imo. bottom line is that i love him and it's nice to see him evolve as an artist

[lemonadetea.livejournal.com]

I basically sat listening to this while reading the translations and crying.

Good job, RM.

[dropit87.livejournal.com]

Damn you Namjoon!!! I really like this and I did cry watching Forever Rain

[garnetstar38.livejournal.com]

I wasn’t expecting to like this at all. I knew this was going to be mellow and I didn’t think I wanted that right now. How wrong was I? This is the fall album I didn’t know I needed. The melodies the bass the nostalgia? Wow Namjoon! I listened to this in my car driving home from work and errands. The re listen factor is so high on this project. I wasn’t expecting that either. Honestly I expected to buy it listen to it 1 or 2 times but this will be a staple on my fall playlist

Moonchild
Everythinggoes
Seoul
Uhgood
Badbye

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

Sounds like typical k-indie tbh. Nothing new.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting myself to be super psyched about this, as the music style is not what I’m into most of the time, but the production and mixing here is excellent. Listening to this on lq speakers really doesn’t do all its nuance justice at all. My favorite tracks so far are seoul, moonchild and everythingoes.

Also, the bass in this whole mixtape. Bro 👏👏👏.

[garnetstar38.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Those are the songs that made it to my car ride playlist. Yes the bass. It goes!

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

All this talk about the bass made me realize I need better headphones/speakers.

This is such a great playlist. I’ve always wanted to make a playlist with more mellow songs for when I’m feeling down but now I don’t have to. It’s the perfect mellow to lift my spirits up.

Great job, Namjoon! Rule those iTunes charts. Rule everything. I’m so happy to be living in this BTS world.

Offtopic: what collab do you think they are teasing on those billboards in LA?

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

Wasn't stan Twitter into this rumour that they were collaborating with Ariana Grande? ofc it's stan Twitter so I take it with a grain of salt but they're usually right about these things lmao

[shawarmafordays.livejournal.com]

I love Tokyo so much.

This album dropped at such a perfect time, my depression always gets worse during Fall and this was so nice to listen to.
