    Black Swan is the most riveting track here. It’s eerie & conveys their fear of what happens if they lost their love of music after attaining this level of fame. Shadow is a hard-hitting self-reflective rap that melodically discusses the dark side to fame. These 2 tracks stand out. Inner Child is soulful & has that church vibe that cuts thru pop, while Louder Than Bombs, the Troye SivanBlack Swan is the most riveting track here.

    "Art for healing" é isso que descreve a música do BTS. Eles misturam vários gêneros musicais para atingir um só objetivo, transmitir uma mesma mensagem: encare quem você é, aceite quem você é, ame quem você é.

    Um album conceitual, recheado de emoções e experiencias que são compartilhados através de músicas calmas e agitadas, sendo um album muito maduro e diferente. BTS como sempre surpreende não apenas os seus fãs, mas também o público em geral. Seven merece o mundo.

The tittle track is like the most pure and rough emotion, “bring the pain on” as it’s says. My favorite track would probably be “Black Swan” but the album overall really seems like one, some songs may have different vibes but I could feel the connection between them and the concept of the series while I was listening. Truly a masterpiece.… Expand

    It'll become my blood and flesh

    My air and my light in the dark
    The power of the things that make me, “me”

There is a “UGH”song which points out that in the Internet truth becomes lies and viceversa. “ON” and “ON” (feat. Sia) both great songs, although SIA has a little part in it it is still gives the song a different shade. Bridge part (Jungkook’s part) is so unique and beautiful, I really got goosebumps while listening to it. Solo and unit songs are great! Give it A chance… Expand

    MOTS: 7 follows BTS on their journey to find and love themselves and deal with the unique pressures and stresses they experience, having achieved the fame and success they once dreamed of.

But whatever complex emotions BTS might have about their fame, what they don't lack is hunger. Hunger to please, hunger to top themselves, hunger to perform and nowhere is that more apparent than the single ON. ON is their fight song, their declaration to persevere regardless.… Expand

    They came back with the greatest project that of all the music acts can barely achieve in their life time. The music in the album just sounds like nothing but perfect and it’s such a wide spectrum head to toe that I could only admire more to their talents.

    It's a whole story of BTS put together into 20 creative, remarkable songs with some of the amazing lyrics the boys have ever put into their works. Definitely their best work to date and there's no limits to BTS talents

    Has all genres for those with a particular taste! The rock and roll Dionysus, ballad Jamais Vu and Zero O'Clock, powerful pop lead single ON, Louder than Bombs, and Inner Child, hip-hop and rap UGH!, Respect, and Shadow, the chill vibes of Moon and My Time, the cheerful Ego, and many more!

    Everything about this album is absolutely amazing and multiple songs made me cry like a baby. My favourite song out of the whole album is Friends, a duet between Jimin and V written from the heart with the ending “you are my soulmate” that started the waterworks.

    BTS always puts out high quality music but this album is their best one yet. I thought nothing's gonna beat Love Yourself:Tear but this is now my all-time favorite album. It gave me all the feels. I sang along, I screamed, I cried. An emotional rollercoaster. And as expected, BTS shows their genre-fluidity. Their versatility as artists is incrediblem

    This album can be considered bts's best album by far. We can see they have clearly improved a lot when we go through their older albums. All the songs are great and they leave a great message.

    This was such an amazing album. You can really tell that they out their time to make this album special and every single song tells its own story. It's so refreshing to see an album where every song brings something to the table and there really isn't a single one that feels like it was just thrown on there. Really 10/10, best album of the year so far!

    As a whole, the strong but not particularly unruly “7” is less sure-footed than “Love Yourself: Tear,” the group’s last full-length, from 2018, and the first K-pop album to debut atop the Billboard album chart.

    Taut and primal, “MOTS: 7” is a kind of self-referential homage. ... Each get solo turns to shine here, their collective work is what stands out.

    Persona lacked the natural fluidity and chicness of their best music. Those problems aren’t exactly mitigated here, since most of those songs appear on this album too, but within this new context, they feel like a flashback before the saga continues. Many of the new songs are better about balancing Easter eggs for day-ones with new entry points for more casual listeners.
