| The more interesting unit of LOONA, god every song is a bop. With 'dream pop' influences, this release is lush, fun, and cute. There's a production team behind them that obviously has a decent amount of creative freedom and the three girls that make up this unit thrive under their direction. |

| BTS Wings |
| A strong pop-singles album with solid solo outings from each member showcasing a good amount of experimentation and stylistic individuality within the confines of, well, k-pop. The issue remains that in general, despite the thematics and narrative supposedly directing this album, it feels largely like a compilation rather than a cohesive set. Overall though, if you're looking for bangers, well, you've got them, with the exception of some melodramatic pieces that have moments of sparkle but overall aren't particularly interesting like "First Love" and "Reflection," as well as the second half of the album feeling as though the group had to reset and push out more radio-oriented pieces that don't fit well with the first half of the album. Also, the horns used in 'Stigma' are the most grating horns in the world, but 'Lie' is a bop. |
| BTS Love Yourself: 承 'Her' |
| A showcase of the group's sensibilities as far as pop goes and their self-awareness as far as their impact on their fans, it's an album filled with strong, radio-ready singles but never quite establishes itself as more than that sonically or cohesively. Still, within its playing field, it sees BTS as a group that can keep the genre sounding fresh despite everyone in that industry clawing at the dead corpse of EDM. 'Outro: Her', and 'Intro: Serendipity' are particular standouts for their particular lack of said influence, while 'Dimple' is a strong, by-the-numbers pop love song flourishing in their harmonic skillset. 'Sea' is probably the most disappointing track, it could have been better if it did anything with it's instrumentation, but shows that there's an experimentation of influences brewing on their team. |
