    Love Yourself Tear it's one of the best albums i've ever listened in my life. every song on the album is amazing, the lyrics, the music itself transmits feelings with which one can identify. I just love it. It's unique and I think that regardless of the language you can enjoy the music with the heart.

    Is one of best albums I've heard in my life, explores several concepts with different rhythms, they also cover several important topics. I consider it by far away the best album of the year.

    The album is a well thought out and organized collection of music. From the deep, soothing Singularity to jovial beats of Anpanman to the versatile rapping in Outro: Tear there is something for everyone to enjoy. My favourite is The Truth Untold. What a wonderful exploration of the dark side of love!

    It only takes a few minutes to listen to the BTS discography to see that they are truly artists. Love Yourself 'Tear' is diverse, ambitious and refreshing, very good guys.

    Este álbum es incomparable. Los distintos mensajes que se encuentran en cada canción son preciosos y con muchas interpretaciones diferentes.
    Creo que es uno de los mejores de la trilogía de Love Yourself. Todos merecen escucharlo y entender el significado detrás de cada palabra. Nadie se arrepentiría de escuchar esta pieza de arte.

    Love Yourself: Tear by BTS is a beautiful, introspective journey about finding oneself and what Love truly means. In this album BTS explores a variety of music genres - from the smooth R&B sounds of Singularity to the experimental emo/rock/rap tunes of Fake Love; from the Latin-pop inspired Airplane pt. 2 to the emotional but powerful rap of Outro: Tear.

    The album is diverse and their lyrics have so much meaning. It truly made me realize how important life is. But most importantly it made me think that I’m not alone and that everybody struggles in life. I really recommend it. The entire album has accomplished what the title is. Because of them I’m starting to love myself.

    I love this album like the previous ones, fake love is amazing, cry with The Truth Untold, airplane pt2 wasa a surprise, magic shop too and if that were not enough all the lyrics of the songs always leave me amazed. I hope more people give a chance to their music I'm sure to find at least one song of their liking.

    I’m not into Korean music, but this album has excellence that can not be limited by its language. The music genres of the different tracks have a wide variety to touch the interests of diverse tastes. Beyond the music itself would be deep and emotional lyrics about the troubles within love, and the frustration of insecurities.

The music genres of the different tracks have a wide variety to touch the interests of diverse tastes. Beyond the music itself would be deep and emotional lyrics about the troubles within love, and the frustration of insecurities. There are some light songs that break the serious atmosphere, almost like the catharsis within a tragedy. I will admit that several songs take a few repeats to become tolerable, as there is a very wide variety of genres, but soon afterwards, your taste in music will have become more sophisticated and most of the album will become ear worms.… Expand

    All the songs serve the main theme qualitatively and beautifully. The ensemble is coherent, well written and well produced. Lyrical masterpiece (which is very seldom these days). Also, not afraid of trying things, which makes it all the more praiseworthy, as it does not lose quality in the process.

    This is definitely one of the best BTS albums that I listened to. There are a lot of different genres and I love how it's called 'Tear' with songs which make you tear up. A very meaningful and whole album with a lot of poetic messages.

    Love Yourself: Tear shows off each individual member’s qualities fairly and acts as a well-structured introduction to a wider global audience that is all too eager to pick out negatives.

    Throughout it all, the members of BTS affect melodic sincerity, singing with intensity and melisma, rapping in tones that show their effort and strain, as if caring never went out of style.
