    Es el mejor álbum, las melodías y las letras son demasiado profundas, para mi es como un abrazo al alma, describe perfecto las emociones del artista, es una obra de arte en su máximo esplendor.

    Really were the most "Namjoon"-like songs I've heard, and they were amazing with such a wide variety of genres and voices. Lyrics are a must-read because the way he thinks and looks at things is mind blowing.

    Unforgettable album with sincere lyrics! BTS makes great music, and it's amazing to see how they shine as soloists too! RM put in a lot of hard work on this album with meaningful collaborations.

    I had very high expectations for this album before release and Namjoon totally delivered! Indigo is a very cohesive body of work filled with raw and cathartic thoughts, feelings, and emotions. A true masterpiece in its own right, and one that I can definitely say will be a timeless classic.

    Its a well made album. All the artists Rm picked, fit to the songs. I especially enjoy Wildflower. The lyrics in the songs conveyed what Rm wanted to express, his feelings throughout his 20s. All in all the album was beautifully made and sounds fantastic, from the instrumentals to the lyrics. True artwork in album

    Indigo is a great album that shows off RM's versatile musical talent with various genres. He is a master at lyricism and word play. A few of my favorite tracks are Yun and Change Pt.2.

    There is a song for everyone and RM described it correct because i do see myself listening to the songs while on a walk, drive or just reading a book. My personal favs are forg_tful , wildflower, change pt2, still life and lonely. He truly created a wonder.

    This album is a cohesive and sentimental album full of truths and the introspection of a young man in his 20s living a life as rare as they come. A very good listen and on it's way to becoming timeless art.

    RM’a album “Indigo” is just a masterpiece. I describe it as a transparent box with hard and soft emotions, each lyric means something Rm feels connected to which I consider it amazing. I really love the whole track list and I think it’s time for Namjoon to be free and connect with his music again and again.

    I wasn't expecting an album to be unexpectedly good from a rapper.

Change, forge_tful and closer are just about beautiful life and it's bitter experiences and we how life is about change. In the end No.2 is about keep moving forward and not looking back. RM as always never disappoints with his songs and creativity but this time it's 100/100 and everything is perfect. wildflower I can see his dream of INDIGO being timeless coming true.… Expand

    I’ve been waiting for this album long time ago. And getting excited when the tracklist was dropped and the collaborator been announced. All of the track is perfectly match with RM’s style. This album is an archive of his 20s, and if you know him even a little and take a look each of the tracks you will know like “yes it’s truly him in his 20s”

As someone who is in their early 20s and has anxiety, doubts, struggles, feels intimidated with expectations & responsibilities and is in a transition phase in life, this album could've have come at a better time! It gives me hope, joy, motivation, comfort, reassurance and is basically that pat on the back or whisper in my ear wishing me all the best and telling me it'll be alright! I don't know which part of the world I'll be in a couple of months or what I'll be doing but one thing is for sure; Indigo (and Mono) are coming along with me everywhere!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is incredible how RM is able to move flawless through multiple genres; it may be a reflection of all he has lived through. I'm thankful for all the wisdom he is inviting listeners to receive from his experiences and his research. As someone also reaching the end of their 20s, I find the lyrics comforting and relatable as he navigates feelings like loneliness, hatred, and betrayal. Listeners are reminded throughout to move forward, to choose life over death, and given affirmations despite any regrets or frustrations they may have. I also appreciate how this album highlights the work and talents of his artist friends, peers, and music industry legends whom he respects and have mutual respect for him.

    Wildflower, the title track, provides a window into the pain that comes with fame and challenges with identity as RM attempts to reconcile his passion and drive. I am in awe of all that is packed into this album. It offers wonderful and raw sounds with profound introspection. There is something here for all audiences. And I'm of the belief that if something did not immediately resonate that later revisits may invoke a slow, silent stirring which may culminate into some connection or epiphany. I am hoping the album will reach many ears and receptive hearts. The world needs more works like this.    … Expand

He wasn’t scared to try different genres, he’s a very versatile artist. I feel like in this album there is a song for every mood. It’s hard to choose a favorite track, because it keeps changing.

    It’s too early to tell if the record will help the BTS leader achieve his goal of creating something truly timeless but, in this moment, ‘Indigo’ feels like a masterpiece with the potential to be remembered as a classic.

    Some moments fall flat – Lonely is cloying, paint-by-numbers EDM-pop that doesn’t fully land. Still, Indigo is a polished collection that spans both pop and rap with confidence.
