    bts does a great job of blending different genres yet still retaining the cohesivity around the central theme of fighting against odds stacked against them, both by worldly challenges as well as the internal conflict they cause

    BTS consegue se superar a cada álbum, o talento é inegável aqui e não é possível dar menos que a nota máxima, minha preferida do álbum é ugh e também Filter, hinos aclamadis e quem não gostar que se retire, não adianta vir reclamar.

The production level is out of this world and the lyrics are beautiful. The boys worked so hard to put together this album and on their 7th year, this album truly celebrates their growth and success for the past 7 years. Thank god they are 7.… Expand

    I get up, unsteady on my feet

    [Verse 2: RM]
    Look at my feet, look down
    The shadow resembles me
    Is it the shadow that's shaking
    Or is it my feet that are trembling
    Of course I‘m not unafraid
    Of course it's not all okay
    But I know
    Awkwardly I flow
    I fly together with that black wind

    [Pre-Chorus: Jimin, Jungkook, Jin]
    Hey na-na-na
    Gotta go insane to stay sane
    Hey na-na-na
    Throw myself whole into both worlds
    Hey na-na-na
    Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter
    Carried myself into this beautiful prison
    Find me and I'm gonna live with ya

    Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah

    Sky keep fallin'
    Everyday oh na-na-na
    (Eh-Oh)
    Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah

    [Verse 3: j-hope]
    Bring the pain
    It'll become my blood and flesh
    Bring the pain
    No fear, now that I know the way
    Breathe on the small things
    My air and my light in the dark
    The power of the things that make me, “me”
    Even if I fall, I come right up, scream

    [Verse 4: SUGA] Even if I fall, I come right up, scream That's how we've always been Even if my knees drop to the ground As long as they don't get buried It won't matter Win no matter what Whatever you say, whatever they say I don't give a uhh I don't give a uhh I don't give a uhh, yeah [Pre-Chorus: Jimin, V] Hey na-na-na Gotta go insane to stay sane Hey na-na-na Throw myself whole into both worlds Hey na-na-na Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter Carried myself into this beautiful prison Find me and I'm gonna live with ya [Chorus: All, V, Jin] (Eh-Oh) Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah (Eh-Oh) Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah Rain be pourin' Sky keep fallin' Everyday oh na-na-na (Eh-Oh) Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah [Bridge: Jungkook, Jimin] Where my pain lies Let me take a breath My everythin' My blood and tears Got no fears I'm singin' ohhhhh Oh I'm takin' over You should know yeah Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter Choosing to descend into the dark abyss Find me and I'm gonna bleed with ya [Chorus: All, Jin, V] (Eh-Oh) Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah (Eh-Oh) Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah Rain be pourin' Sky keep fallin' Everyday oh na-na-na (Eh-Oh) Find me and I'm gonna bleed with ya [Outro: All, Jimin, Jungkook] (Eh-Oh) Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah (Eh-Oh) Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah All that I know Is just goin' on & on & on & on (Eh-Oh) Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah    … Expand

    this might be my favorite album for the entire decade. I love how every song flows from the intro to the outro. The different genres that each member has presented in their own solo, the sub unit songs are all very different colors and contexts but have merged together to become a beautiful masterpiece. Kudos to BTS!

    They really outdone themselves with MOTS:7. As what they describe that this album is all about them- hence the name 7. Having a hard time to choose my favourite but if I have to; On, Black Swan, UGH! and The Eternal are my favourite. Overall, MOTS:7 is really one of their best album!

    This album is very wholesome not only do we get to see all the members different musical styles we also have a story that they’re telling that is universally important which isn’t really prominent in pop music nowadays.

This album comprises so many different genres and ERACH MEMBER took part in it. If you like music you should at least give it a try. 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

    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!

    Absolutely wonderful album. So in love, so proud, swept away by the talent of these 7 men from korea with the voices of angels. What world did I save in my past life to be able to love in the same generation as the living legends BTS.

    Their best album yet. These boys constantly outperforming themselves and this is another masterpiece. Title track is amazing but I think the solos and the subunits really the ones to push this album to stardom.

    The songs are personal yet they do not feel distant. Each of them connects to the audience in different ways. Best of all, you only need to be a person with zero prejudice to actually enjoy and identify with the messages delivered.

My family, relatives, friends, friends of friends – they all like the album and respect the boys even more now. BTS are on another level and this is the proof. Thank you.

    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.
