    This might be the best album released this decade. It feels diverse, yet not messy. The songs co-exist in harmony despite being so different, as if they are meant to be digested in blocks reminiscent of chapters. The main single is especially astonishing.

    Dos 3 albuns que o RM lançou (sendo duas mixtapes), com certeza o Indigo é o melhor deles. Sinto que ele deu um polida melhor e se arriscou em fazer certas batidas que o mainstream gostaria mais dessa vez. Jogou mais seguro, mas acertou.

    Indigo is truly incredible. The album is short and concise. It has great lyrics. While RM plays with a lot of different genres, all the songs on the album still feel connected.

    This is no doubt one of my favorite albums of my life. He writes such beautiful lyrics they can make me cry. He is a more than a lyricist, a poet. I hope he will never stop sharing his art with us.

Wildflower is really out of left field for my musical tastes but I actually love the chorus, RM has great taste in other artists and is very good at picking out what voices & talents will mix well with his songs & voice ! In terms of lyrics, some imagery was quite impactful, it's a very reassuring album overall even though it knows when to dip into anger when needed, and I think a lot of people will find it relatable, thought it wasn't always the case for me, depending on the songs, I still am glad to see personal and original lyrics like those RM wrote for Indigo !

    Simply put, I didn't particularly like all the productions on Indigo, I don't think that the album feels cohesive in terms of music from top to bottom, it starts and ends strongly but it loses me on some tracks like Forg_tful, Lonely or even Hectic, who really just don't land. It all feels very "clean" and proper, so I get why people would like this release for those qualities, but personnally I felt like it missed the honest emotions it wanted to bring out. As far as personal taste goes, I liked RM's rapping much more in this album than his singing, even though his singing in Mono deeply touched me, in this album it felt more like "this is who i want to be" singing than "this is who i am" singing, it felt unnatural in most of the songs.. very abstract but.. i get me. All in all, it was a peaceful listening experience, but it's not an album I'll keep close to me except for a few songs, and I'll stay curious to see what RM continues to bring out.    … Expand

    For the people who lost on their path at the top of the mountain, this album is for you. Because for Namjoon especially in Wildflower, the tip of his success is almost the same like the deepness of the valley. It is lonely, harsh ground, but he thrive to bloom like wildflowers. Namjoon recommended to hear the songs in sequence and I agree.

    My favorite out of the three. RM was too aggressive and mono. was too specific I couldn't relate to. Indigo is the best album to listen top to bottom no skips. The artists included in this album complement Namjoon's voice perfectly. Indigo delivers in reflecting Namjoon's twenties and gives us an insight to his more personal life and his thoughts and worries about the future. You can seeMy favorite out of the three.

    Every song on Indigo is miles different from the song you just heard. Deep stories for every one of them, the majority have a metaphor to live by which is always welcomed. Philosophy and food for thought with a great vibe.

    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.
