    A great album! Some of the songs may take me some time to fully appreciate but overall it's very deep, this project explores the environment of these 7 artist from their debut year until recent. There are still so many lines to decipher. I know, slowly-but surely, this album will be running towards the peak rank of my list of favorite albums from them.

    It has differs sounds as it has wide range of genres and great lyrics that tell story about nowadays generation concern which so many people can relate, not only about cliche love story. They bring you the roller coaster emotion. Should definitely check it out.

    A whole experience. The lyrics are worth digging into. Ugh is my favorite song, don't listen to it if you're scared to get hyped up!

    As always, BTS has amazed us with wonderful music. You don't need to know Korean to enjoy this. You just need an open mind and zero prejudices.

    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.
