    This album is a story from start to finish. It takes you on a journey. The lyrics are powerful and the production is exceptional. So impressed how they have mastered their craft. BTS most certainly needs to be known for the music and message.

    One of the best albums they have ever made, I venture to say that the best album of 2018, deserved much more recognition than it has but xenophobia is still very present in our society, I hope they have much more recognition for their music because it is what they deserve

    O álbum revela um maior questionamento sobre a pessoa que nós somos, um lado obscuro. O design do álbum em si também combinou muito com a mensagem que BTS está tentando trazer para o mundo. A faixa título "Fake Love" além de ter uma ótima harmonia das vezes, batidas viciantes e uma letra profunda foi uma ótima escolha, apesar da minha favorita do álbum ser Magic Shop, haha.

    Potessi darei anche più di 10, sicuramente il migliore prodotto dei BTS. L'aspetto che più spicca dell'album è la sperimentazione e la creatività di questi sette ragazzi: ogni canzone porta con sé un testo eccellente e uno stile che non troveremo nella traccia seguente. Hanno saputo rischiare e proporre un album che ancora oggi non è stato superato nel K-Pop, a mio parere.

    Tells you about how you should let go of a love that is just toxic and that you should love yourself first before loving anyone else

    Their best album to date. Very cohesive. The production on this album is amazing. The vocal layering is very impressive. The amount of different genres on this album alone is very impressive. And to find out RM has writing a producing credits in every song is OUTSTANDING.

    this album is AMAZING, isn't the typical pop that we always hear it, is more alternative and with a style so different, please the concept is universal, please read the lyrics and listen the album just no one time, twice or more times. you can listen the variety, the effects, the instruments, is equilibrating

    Amazing album! I would rate it a 10 for Fake Love and Outro:Tear alone, but there's not one skip on this album. BTS are real artists.

    Beautiful lyrics and a amazing set that’s made me cry love it so much. They show you pain will only ever make you stronger and after 7 years of the music industry they obviously have went through a lot. From sharing a one bedroom room with 7 teenager boys to finally have the success they deserve. Thank you for your blood sweat and tears for the past 7 years.

    Não consigo acreditar que essa obra de arte esteja com uma nota tão baixa por aqui. É sem sombra de dúvida um dos meus trabalhos preferidos desses meninos, é tão pessoal e sensível. Um contraste perfeito com o álbum anterior deles, Her, e que mais tarde vai formar o balance perfeito para o próximo, Answer.

    One of their, IF NOT, their best album, it's just an amazing mix of diffrent tunes and genres. 134340 is CRIMINALLY underated and is one of my favorite bts songs ever. This album is known to be one of their best and that is true!

    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.

    Tear aims for cohesion and produces fun, prismatic songs in the process.

    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.
