[Rolling Stone] The 100 Best Albums of 2023 (Agust D’s “D-DAY” is ranked at #69) – 011223

> *D-DAY, the third release BTS’ Suga has put out as Agust D, is a tight 10-track collection that lyrically and musically probes the concept of freedom — what it means, whether it’s a blessing or a curse. Take the double-entendre title of the thundering “Haegeum,” which wraps around a drone from the two-stringed traditional Korean instrument of the same name. “Haegeum” also can be translated as “liberation,” and Agust D unpacks that idea in knotty, spat-out rhymes that take aim at conformity, the trappings of “success,” and information overload. Meanwhile, “Life Gets Better” hints at a brighter future, or at least one where life’s big questions loom a little less ominously. —M.J. *

Gripes aside of “Life Gets Better” which really is Life Goes On, I truly adore that song, I’ve found that I love Yoongi’s closing songs (Dear my Friend and Life Goes On)
