    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me dejo sin palabras. Pensé que Jack In The Box iba a tener el mismo estilo que las primeras canciones lanzadas: 'Arson' y 'More', pero no fue así, el estilo de este álbum fue tan variado. Me encanto que J-Hope lo haya hecho así, porque quedó perfecto. Su voz es algo maravilloso y, soy afortunada de poder escucharla.… Expand

    I would say that if you want a cool album to listening to, its a perfect one. From the intro to the last final with ARSON. The storytelling is amazing.

    Es un disco magnífico con un estilo rebelde dónde aplica el hip-hop de la vieja escuela.

    The expectations for this album were high and as always, J-Hope did not disappoint! The entire album is very cohesive and each track flows seamlessly with the next. Everything feels and sounds complete and well thought out, and Hobi's vocals are strong and pleasant to the ear throughout, no matter if he's floating on the melody of Equal Sign, or killing it on the gritty sound of Arson.The expectations for this album were high and as always, J-Hope did not disappoint!

    Great album that has an interesting beginning of how it shows you its history and throughout the songs you discover their thoughts. From his own name to the evil of people. Of wanting more and wondering if he continues this path or stops. My favorite song is Future, I really connected with that song.

    Vale la pena di ascoltare questo magnifico album di J-Hope di BTS anche chi non conosce sia J-Hope che BTS. No se ne pentirà anzi, se ne pentirà proprio perché non averli conosciuti prima.

    A bold sound as j-hope frees himself from the box that is his ''sunshine'' persona his company and fans have labeled him with. Successfully blending genres with bold lyrics and amazing beats Jack In The Box is a stark and welcome contrast to Hope World, his first mixtape. But doesn't stray too far from the lyrical depth we know he's capable of!

    O álbum é uma obra prima em todos os sentidos. Foi uma experiência grandiosa mergulhar na versatilidade que é o J-hope como artista. Cada música era mais surpreendente que a outra. Um álbum maravilhoso e com mensagens lindas. Foi ótimo conhecer um pouco mais de quem é Jung Hoseok através desse trabalho.

    It's amazing. It was something fresh and new for that k-pop industry packed with the same boring concepts lacking self-identity. Best of the best, j-hope never dissapoints.

    This album is a timeless masterpiece. Insane how every track has a story on its own. It’s not your usual/typical k-pop sound, the genre varies from old school hiphop to r&b. j-hope is a legend and a league on his own.

    Whether the music on Jack in the Box suits your taste or not, it’s hard to dismiss this album as an artistic statement rather than just chapter 1/7 of BTS proving they can also make money in ways beyond official group releases.

    The artist born Jung Ho-seok delivers emotional depth and irresistible energy. Backed by rowdy production, his aggression, raspy delivery, and tongue-twisting bars take center stage, showcasing the rap-focused perspective that he brings to the BTS formula.

    There’s an excellent three track run from “What if…,” an energetic song that samples Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” into mid-tempo standout “Safety Zone” before a touch of Hope World familiarity returns in the optimistic “Future.”
