I do think the latter half is a bit different musically, and the sound turns into a more relaxed, low-key hip-hop groove. I'd like to see it as half-time break, as the first part of the album has finished and the second part is now ahead. Up next is a 30 second interlude which I have really no intention of reviewing because it is, simply, only a mere half minute long. I also really like the oriental-inspired instrumental and the harsh breakdown where the vocals turn almost into screaming, and you can really feel the power in their delivery. The lyrics are amazing, as the members rap about their skills, star power and realness, all in the name of hip-hop. They also helped write and compose this song, and it's likely that they wrote their own raps as they usually do for their music.

The rappers of the group go hard in this album's cypher: " Killer", which is always a nice re-occurrence on their albums as Rap Monster, Suga and J-Hope all get to showcase their rapping. The musical aspect of the song also fits well with the title, as it's more jazz influenced and goes on at a calm, peaceful pace, much like the feeling of rain falling down outside your window. I can definitely relate to everything that's going on, such as feeling down and empty, having nowhere to go and especially the part about repeatedly opening and closing the refrigerator which I always do when I'm bored or restless. Just like the weather condition itself, the song's mood is gray, cold and cloudy, and the lyrics take you through a not-so-sunny journey of a particular person's mind. The following song " Rain" is just as miserable, if not even more since there's no apparent reason for all the emotions that's being sung about. The members' delivery is right on spot and matches the heartfelt lyrics, and I'm wondering as to why Suga isn't given even more influence over the group's music. It's painful, desperate and a whirlwind of emotions that go through your head as you face a harsh, silent break-up. This song is by far my favorite on the album, and is really the only song I've had on repeat since it came out. Just like " Tomorrow" on the previous album, this one has a very distinct sound that seems to be a type of sound that he enjoys producing, and I'm not complaining. " Let Me Know" is the next track, and this one is Suga's very own composition. A group with this kind of influence should not be singing those kind of songs, and especially not when the members are so young, as maknae Jung Kook only just turned 17. This is the second title track now where BTS have sung about this kind of subject, but while " Boy In Luv" was more an inner struggle of a teenage boy being confused about his feelings not being answered "Danger" is directly threatening. Surely, these are all thoughts in their heads and I don't think they would actually hurt anyone physically, but imagining hearing those words are really frightening. Don't get me wrong, I understand that they're pissed because this girl seems to be a jerk, but lines such as "I'm warning you now, stop confusing me" and "You're in danger right now, stop testing me" along with the aggressive delivery makes me really uncomfortable.

They're basically about a girlfriend that gives off mixed signals and clearly isn't treating them very well, but the threatening undertone it gives off does in no way justify her behavior. The lyrics are also a problem, as expressed in the video review, and are on of the reasons I can't seem to get into the song. It's not brutally disjointed but there are parts that don't seem to fit as well with each other, such as Jin's R&B breakdown before the chorus. The song is very interesting musically, as it features many different sounds and genres all combined into one melody, and I'm not sure yet whether I think it mixes well together or not. The title track on the other hand, " Danger", is not really working for me.
