Exploring the Tracks of BTS' ARIRANG: A Review by Stanning BTS Podcast Hosts
The hosts of the Stanning BTS podcast, Kayla and Bethany, have been listening to the new BTS album, ARIRANG, non-stop since its release, and it seems like everyone else is doing the same based on the charts. The album has been making waves on streaming platforms globally and even made it to Consequence’s March Staff Picks. In their latest episode, Kayla and Bethany dive into the second half of ARIRANG to review each track.
The first track they discuss is “Merry Go Round,” a song that delves into the feeling of being trapped in a cycle by internal and external forces. With contributions from Kevin Parker, the track resonates with Tame Impala fans and explores themes of feeling stuck in a pattern.
Moving on to “Like Animals,” the duo explores a different musical side of BTS with understated production and a grungier sound reminiscent of garage bands. They can't help but mention the powerful live performance of the song at BTS' comeback show, which evoked strong emotions.
After dissecting the remaining tracks on the album, Kayla and Bethany reflect on ARIRANG as a whole and share their official scores for the album. Did the album live up to the years of anticipation and hype? To find out, listeners will have to tune in to the episode.
