    I think what a lot of people don't understand going into this is that BTS has a huge, extremely loyal fan base. They /could/ easily release whatever they want to. It probably doesn't even have to be extraordinary good, a lot of people would still buy it (or will be stuck with their pre-orders).

They /could/ easily release whatever they want to. It probably doesn't even have to be extraordinary good, a lot of people would still buy it (or will be stuck with their pre-orders). Yet, instead of slowing down and putting less effort into their art, the group seems to just keep pushing themselves as artists with every album.
    And this time around, they haven't just delivered the quality fans expect them to (considering their track-record), they even stepped it up yet again. There are songs to get you hyped, songs that will break your heart, songs that will make you think about your own life. Both lyrically and musically, this "Map of the Soul: 7" has become my absolute favorite of theirs, even trumping queen “Love Yourself: Tear“! (I know, unbelievable.) I’ve been addicted to the songs ever since the release!

    BTS just truly never disappoints.    … Expand

    Wow. This album is better than Tear for sure. Black Swan and My Time have the best production on the album. I think ON is their first mainly performance-oriented title track since Not Today. The bridge is insane. I personally happy to see such song as UGH. It has very strong lyrics, along with Zero o'clock Black Swan and Inner Child. My fav track is Friends.

    The album is not only big in size but also in impact. The fluid and cohesive way they sail through genres that I would have never thought could fit on the same album makes it an extremely unique listening experience.

    This album is way more personal and heartbreaking if you know the backstory of BTS. But they very eloquently showed their past pain and hardships for non-bts fans to understand too. As Namjoon said, it is like a personal diary.
    The vocalists abd the rappers really delivered in this album too. ALL IN ALL, A GREAT ALBUM. DESERVES ALL THE PRAISE.

    Nessa obra, BTS mostra que não é só o grande representante do K-POP, eles não se limitam a isso. O grupo é uma das maiores revelações e tranformações no mundo da música nos últimos tempos, ultrapassando estigmas sociais ao quebrarem a barreira da linguagem e mostrarem do que são capazes mesmo não falando o mesmo idioma de seus ouvintes. A maior prova de que a música é uma língua universal.    … Expand

    They called this Map of the Soul: 7 a love song to their careers and nothing describes this more elegantly. The naturally introspective band show a command of the good and bad of fame and their past. Their emotions and lyrics are as diverse as the tracks themselves.

    This album is very diverse. BTS explore many different genres and sounds. Their lyrics are very relatable, and sometimes heart wrenching. In an interview BTS said they wanted to make music that isn't confined to any genre, and I strongly feel that they demonstrated that here. Each song has a very unique sound and message that I believe could never be replicated.

    O álbum é muito bom, bem produzido, instrumental e vocalmente, é possível ver o toque e a personalidade de cada membro do grupo nas canções solo e units, é um álbum com uma certa profundidade, contando a história de lutas do grupo, mas também é divertido e pop de maneira esperta e despretensiosa. Entra pro grupo dos melhores produzidos por eles, junto com Wings e Love Yourself: Tear.

Se eu tivesse que dizer algo sobre diria que o álbum é baseado em opostos que colidem de forma resolvida. O álbum começa inicialmente com um toque bastante íntimo sobre a dor de nossos ganhos e nossa sombra; conforme avançamos dentre o álbum conseguimos reconhecer seus elementos opostos, majoritariamente digo: 7 é um álbum sobre tempo, não só sobre números, mas sobre toques, sobre sombras que caminham contigo e conseguem tocá-lo; 7 é sobre afeto, sobre entender seus ganhos. Conservo uma visão sobre ciclos e sois a partir de Zero O’Clock que nos dá uma visão clara sobre como o tempo pode ser usado de diversas formas nesse álbum. A música apresenta letras transitórias conforme o relógio da música corre, mas os ponteiros do relógio só são citados próximo a meia-noite que é quando percebemos que nosso dia passou e tudo continua o mesmo, como a a neve lá fora que é observada, outro ponto de tempo na música, a neve gelada se torna semelhante a você e seu âmago frio, enquanto observamos a neve estamos sendo esquentados pelos materiais: algo que é um ponto perceptivo nessa música: o material, assim como um relógio que é palpável, na música os nossos pontos observáveis são sólidos, e vemos a felicidade vinda do mundo líquido. Há um trecho que diz: "quando a música terminar, uma nova canção começará e você será feliz", a próxima música do álbum é Inner Child, Inner Child é transitória, enquanto temos a apresentação do mundo sólido, aquele que podemos tocar, ela faz referência a galáxias, luas e astros para representar nossos sentimentos espaciais, aqueles que não conseguimos enxergar mas conseguimos fazer existir, ao mesmo tempo em que o ambiente é intocável Inner Child é uma música sobre toques, sobre nossas sensações cósmicas transmitidas ao mundo e vice-versa: o nariz que avermelha no frio, o ar de verão que faz nossa língua arder, os sons, essa música é sobre sentidos. O quão enigmático é o lado inalcançável ficar dentro de si mesmo, de sua própria galáxia? É uma música sobre toques, e sobre compartilhar o intocável com abraços e afeto, e sobre toques, afetos e galáxias temos Friends, mas antes, quero citar seus personagens no BTS Universe, principalmente em Singularity e Serendipity: Kim Taehyung dança consigo mesmo e se toca, ele está sempre em salas fractais, quadradas, escuras, sem ver o mundo lá fora, como uma prisão em si mesmo, com jornais e flores que florescem de seus próprios sentimentos, ele tem um papel imaginativo, simbolizando um mundo intocável aonde apenas ele mesmo consegue se tocar. Park Jimin em Serendipity é a representação do espaço, o mundo em sua volta é uma casa aberta, ele observa as estrelas do espaço e a casa representa a sua morada espacial. Há uma parte na música que diz: "olá, meu extraterrestre. Nós somos um mistério um para o outro e isso é ainda mais especial." É como se elementos opostos estivessem conversando, um espaço sideral em um humano e um ser do espaço sideral. Soul Mate. Moon: Moon bem depois de transições e elementos opostos das músicas anteriores entre o universal e o material, Moon se transforma em universal, é uma música sobre pertencer a alguém, sobre orbitar, sobre não brilhar por conta própria mas mesmo assim querer se tornar a luz de alguém, sobre quando o brilho toca nossas feridas são expostas a claridade ao nosso companheiro, sobre ser. Com essa o ciclo de fecha mas algum continua: os elementos opostos em Respect: o respeitar e o desrespeitar, dessa vez elemento oposto obstante se torna um alvo que parte de si mesmo. É um pouco do que quero dizer sobre a parte mais bonita desse álbum para mim. 7 e eu.… Expand

Ugh, a hip hop track with gunshot sounds blaring in the background produced by the rappers of the group- RM, Suga and J-HOPE showcases their insane skills as rappers and producers and on the other hand the singers of the group manage to rile you up emotionally with their voice and with songs like inner child-member taehyung's solo song that he sings to his younger self who was going through a rough time.The stories weaved into this one album from the Persona to their personal makes you want to know more about the individual members. This album showcases how BTS is not one artist but a coming together of 7 incredible artists.… Expand

    great album, i love how each new track flows to the second. Love how they blended instrumentals, how many layers you can uncover with the second listen. the only critical note, i don't think sia version necessary nor including persona tracks.

    BTS prove again that they are worthy of the title princes of pop, pavers of the way.... This album contains bts' view of life, their past, them accepting there's a shadow and light in them, getting over their harships and using them to become stronger,album of the year.

    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.
