    My bias in this album is 00:00, i love its retro style like 90s. And I think the scenery you can see through this song is a chimney which is working at dask, and the smoke distorted in the distance. Peace and happened daily in my childhood.

    MOTS 7 has to be one of the best releases by BTS. Their range in this single album is so vast but it still mingles in so well with each other. Using the Jungian theories about personalities and his works on map of the soul, this is truly one of the most intricate and powerful album I’ve come across.

    This album is one of the best in BTS discograph, not only because of their new songs having a warmer and kind aproach with Armys or how the grownth of each member is really apreciated throught the personal lyrics but the whole meaning to it! I am sure that Map Of The Soul: 7 is going to be well remembered in the future like a important mark in BTS journey.

    For a non-English album, BTS delivered one of the strongest Korean Pop albums worldwide. Accompanying the poppy dance-music sounds are the raw and emotional lyrics that are mostly written by the members themselves. Overall, it is a solid body of work from the Korean superstars.

    Su trabajo es fenomenal; y digo «su trabajo», ya que fue en su mayoría escrito por los 7 chicos que conforman este grupo. Este álbum contiene tantos géneros distintos, no se estanca en uno. Las letras de las canciones te reconfortan bastante y son tan profundas que debo de admitir que me hicieron llorar con Zero o'clock (0:00).

    Map Of The Soul: 7 é um álbum diversificado, com uma sonoridade magnífica. Nesse álbum você pode ir da alegria contagiante de Outro: EGO, à melancolia de We are bulletproof: The Eternal. Black Swan é uma obra de arte, profunda, sentimental, encantadora, enfim esse álbum é esplêndido. Ouça agora no Spotify e você verá que eu tenho razão.

The seven years they live together, crying, laughing, screaming, are the most beautiful moments that we can see.

    An album full of quality and identity. The celebration of the 7 years of the road could not have been better performed, the songs pass through different sounds without departing from the proposed general concept, in addition to showing a certain intimacy about the dark side of being an “idol” and the friendship built between themselves and the fans.

    Impecável, foi a minha primeira era com eles e Map of The Soul me recebeu e me fez ficar mais e mais pelo talento do BTS e tamanha criatividade vocal.

    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.
