Agust D “D-DAY” album review

Just a heads up, this is my favorite album out of all of Agust D’s releases.Here’s my play-by-play of every song:

D-Day

We’re starting off with a BANGER. The beat was straight up fire. the chorus legit sounded like someone else jumped on the track. It’s still Agust D, but the way he switches up his voice and delivery makes it feel like a whole different artist is being featured.

The part where he says “Switch (Switch) over, (Over) time tickin' and over (Woo-ooh)”Gave me Rick Ross vibes. He just sounded like a BOSS.

Perfect way to start the album. It’s confident, it’s bold, and it immediately gets you hyped for what’s coming next. It’s like an anthem for a fresh start

Haegesum

This track? Freaking POWERFUL. I LOVED his flow on this track.It has that raw energy that makes you feel unstoppable.The way he switches between smooth, almost conversational rapping, to verses that come at you fast and powerful is amazing.

There’s a rhythm to it that feels almost like a dance—he controls the tempo of the track effortlessly, going from slow, deliberate lines to faster, more aggressive punches.You can tell he’s having fun with it while still making a statement.

It made me feel like I was breaking free from something too, even though I was just chilling on my bed, LOL.

Amygdala

Amygdala" is such an emotional rollercoaster. It hits hard, but not in the usual way—this time, it’s way more personal and raw. The song feels like a deep dive into his mind, and you can really sense the pain and vulnerability in every verse. I love how his voice is softer at times, almost like he’s reflecting, but then he’ll come in with more force, and you can hear the frustration and struggle in his delivery.

Goggle say amygdala is a region of the brain primarily associated with emotional processing, it basically controls emotions like fear and anxiety. It’s a perfect metaphor for what he’s expressing.

Thank you Agust for taking me to school. I don’t remember being taught that word at school lol.

SDL

Okay, this song gave me all the chill vibes. It’s the perfect song to listen to when you’re just relaxing or driving around at night. It felt soft, but still deep.I loved the background vocals from the girl singing, it added such a rich, emotional layer to the track. It's like her voice is echoing the emotions Agust D is rapping about.Definitely one I’ll be replaying.

People Pt. 2 (feat. IU)

OMG this song is *chef’s kiss*! ✨ This was a match made in music heaven. IU’s voice is like a soothing, emotional wave that perfectly balances Agust D’s raw and powerful voice. It’s like they’re having a musical conversation that’s both heartfelt and epic. I felt like I was floating. I will be checking out more of IU’s music.

Polar Night

Is this change part 2?

Just like change,this track really got me thinking. He talks about society and the state of the world. It made me angry but also inspired, like we NEED to do better as people. It’s truly amazing how Agust D tackles real issues with such authenticity and vulnerability in his music.

Interlude: Dawn

I never really care for interludes but this was such a nice breather in the middle of the album. I closed my eyes and just let the music wash over me. It’s like that moment right before the sun rises—peaceful but also full of anticipation.

Life Goes On

The perfect way to end the album. It felt like a gentle reminder that no matter what happens, life moves forward. It’s bittersweet but also hopeful. I was left feeling all warm and emotional, like things are gonna be okay, even if they’re not perfect right now

CONCLUSION

This is actually my favorite album of his.He really outdid himself, and I felt every single emotion along the way. D-2 was angry, passionate, and rebellious—he was breaking free. But D-Day feels like he’s more settled, more reflective, but still just as hungry to prove himself.
