    I for some reason did not expect it to be THAT good, after listening to their past albums, I was kind of sceptical as to how they were going to improve. This album has something for everybody and doesn't disappoint, their best project without a doubt. My favourite track as for now is probably We are bulletproof: the eternal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an absolutely stunning album. Its both dark and light at the same time. In fact, the way it deals with it’s darkness is not self-indulgent, but it’s hopeful, without being cheesy. It also is probably one of their most personal albums to date.
    I’m honestly blown away by everything - from vocals, rapping & melodies, to production & mixing. A big surprise for me was the track “Louder than bombs“, co-written by Troye Sivan. It’s probably one of the biggest departures from their sound. It felt like an early Placebo b-side. And that’s a compliment. It’s one of their darkest, but also you can’t help wanting to repeat it over and over. A+ from me!

    Once you understand BTS struggles being from a small company and how they overcome the obstacles and their songs touched our hearts by talking about real human issues such as mental health, and how young people suffer nowadays in life to find job and to be on the top.
    They didn't use any nudity like all the songs in the music industry nowadays that are meaningless and full of bad influence on kids/teens.

The solo tracks deliver personal experiences of each member, the sub-units provide a look into the love and respect the members have with each other and the songs with all of them highlight the unity they have with each other as a band of seven and how they share that with their fans in a special intimate way that illustrates their journey. Themes include the darker side to fame and the frustration with the actions of everyday people as well as reflecting on childhood and of course the strength of love and eternal trust. One thing the band never fails to do with albums is create absolutely unique and incredible lyrics that not only explore philosophy, history and pop culture but are crafted poetically and very moving. They have achieved that yet again in this new album and it reflects on them as true and strong artistry. Expand

    This encapsulates their emotions greatly. The way they genre hop from song to song while making consistent beats, lyrics, and flows is an incredible way to convey their feelings about how it's like to be worldwide famous artists. It's beautiful to see them at the place they are at now. They will continue to shine because they are amazing people with true talent across the board.

Look up the translation of the lyrics, it is beautifully written. They are very different from western music and at the same time different from kpop too, so I am not sure how to classify their music Expand

I am so glad they decided to put so much effort into the album if it it meant waiting a little longer. once again this album solidifies their artistry, musicality, versatility and attention to detail. they hopped on the trap beat trend without sacrificing intriguing and varied elements. i would argue that 7 is one of their best releases to date!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was very excited for this album to come out and rightfully so!!
    First the fact the there were 20 songs is amazing, even combined with the ones from Persona EP, it was great. There is something for everyone - savage rap songs, happy friendship ones, something on more slow jam sexier side, also very deep and emotional ones for a good cry. What never stops to surprise me is that BTS always has the most amazing lyrics and does not shy away to speak on something important unlike a lot of modern acts kpop or not. The vocals and skillful rap was used amazingly. You can tell a lot of work was put in it and the boys themselves wrote/produced a lot which is always great when the artist themselves put work into it as much as they do. I wish more GP would consider giving this album a listen with translations, it's definitely worth a shot!

It’s a moving experience for anyone who’s been a fan of BTS for any amount of time, and welcomes new listeners with catchy tracks like ‘ON’, ‘Filter’, ‘Outro: Ego’, and so on. I’ve seen the album described as being a love letter from BTS to their careers and all they’ve accomplished, which is gorgeously accurate. You can hear the emotion and hard work that poured into each word, which paired with the English translation of the lyrics makes for a touching listen. It was nice to sit down with my friends and listen to each of the songs together, being able to experience the album with the ones who introduced me to BTS in the first place was definitely something special. It truly is amazing how seven normal boys from Korea got together and became such a force all around the world, having impacted millions across the globe, despite any language differences, and created a community connecting these millions of people, in a place which they all feel safe and happy. This album, along with the others, is held in a special place in my heart and will certainly be listened to for plenty of years to come. Thank you BTS Expand

    A celebration of 7 years of career with musics well written and produced to be like a travel with them through their experience as people in the music industry and them living with one another. A lot of references to their old musics, you feel some sense of nostalgia too. I loved this

    The whole album is just a masterpiece. Not only it contains a wide variety of genres, BTS once again made impactful lyrics and messages within this album.

I am no music expert, but I believe when critics or anyone who listens to this album rate it, they always miss out on trying to read the translation of the lyrics which plays an important role in music. Nowadays people focus on the beat, instead of the lyrics, which I believe takes away the whole experience of listening music. However, BTS has proved that they do not slack off with their lyric writing and poured their heart out into this album. From Suga revealing his inner conflict with the fame he is currently receiving as being now one of the top artists in the world in "Interlude: Shadow" to BTS's worries and fears of losing their passion on the stage in "Black Swan" to their undying appreciation for their fans supporting them despite of all the pain and despair they faced in "We Are Bulletproof: Eternal" to J-Hope's determination and confidence to pursue his current pathway as an artist, BTS managed to convey their journey as a group who have been together for 7 years and who also have the support of their most loyal fandom, ARMY. Their title song, "ON," is their anthem showing that they will continue to work hard and stay true to their message and beliefs despite all the hate they receive. If you are unaware of BTS's message and beliefs, they all believe in providing music that heals and gives comfort and happiness to those who listen to it. In the lyrics, they also accept who they are and show their determination to not give up their love for the stage and their passion in music. Once again in this album, the vocal line, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, and V, provide us soothing and emotional-provoking vocals in "00:00," which portrays the group's desire for their fans to stay happy no matter what while the rap line, RM, Suga, and J-Hope, engage in complex, but fun and thought-provoking, wordplay that discusses their haters' unnecessary rage and hate towards the group. In this album, we also see new tracks from the vocal line, which ranges from Jungkook discussing about himself missing out many things during his childhood due to the fact he debuted as BTS at the age of 15 in "My Time" to V depicting his journey of his self changing through time and accepting that change in "Inner Child" to Jimin telling how he has to show or change many different sides of himself for the satisfaction of others in "Filter" to Jin explaining his love for ARMY and his appreciation for them supporting him and the group in "Moon." Also, we cannot forget RM starting off the album with him questioning who he truly is and who he wants to be in "Persona," which is also found in their previous album, "Map of the Soul: Persona." I would like to continue to talk about the other tracks, but I believe I should stop here since I wrote a long review. Yes, it is true that I am biased with BTS, but isn't everyone biased on some things? No matter what this is just my personal take on this album, and of course I am not saying my personal take is the ultimate truth. People have different tastes in music, so it is totally fine that BTS's music does not fit your vibe. However, I believe this album is BTS's best work out of all the works they have created because it shows their journey and maturity as artists and is probably THE album that shows the boys' rawest feelings and emotions. I also appreciate how all of the members of this group participated in composing and writing the lyrics in this album. Hopefully, I wish you all of those who like, have some interest in, or absolutely dislike BTS listen to their music with an open mind and without prejudice. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is probably among my top 3 most favorite albums out of all their works. What I love the most in the album is the contrast between shadow & light throughout the album. We have songs that address BTS and the hardships they had been through but we also have songs expressing how they manage to overcome these hardships. This album is basically their story including all the pains, sufferings, their darkest moments as well as their triumphants & success. My favorites from the album are Black Swan, Louder Than Bombs, Moon, Inner Child and of course the title track On. Overall, wonderful album & I highly recommend you give their music a chance without initial judgement. You might be surprised in what you will find. Expand

    Personalmente creo que es el mejor álbum que el grupo sacó hasta ahora. Todas las canciones tienen letras con significados que valen la pena ser leídos, y los ritmos son variados e interesantes. No todos ellos son de mi estilo favorito, pero al final cada canción termina teniendo un significado especial.

    Además de las canciones que siguen el concepto de Persona, Shadow y Ego (temática interesante y muy bien llevada) están otras canciones mucho más personales que creo que se salen del concepto pero siguen estando muy bien. Se nota una mayor participación de todos los miembros en la creación de las canciones, y a través de ellas se pueden conocer mejor los miedos, sentimientos, facetas y, en definitiva, la historia detrás de los artistas.

    Black Swan es posiblemente mi canción grupal favorita del álbum. En el interlude Shadow usaron el autotune excesivo para que se note fácilmente en qué parte de la canción canta el arquetipo de sombra; en Black Swan también, sólo que se usa durante la canción completa. Al principio se me hizo molesto, pero creo que al final es un buen recurso porque le da un sentido la letra. También me gusta que en esta canción varios de los cantantes canten en las mismas partes y no que cada uno tenga su momento para cantar solo (no sé si me explico); creo que juntar y armonizar sus voces con las del otro es una mejor forma de aprovecharlas, incluso con los efectos encima. Además, la letra y la idea en la que se basa es hermosa y creo que vale la pena leerla y escucharla al menos una vez.

    De la misma forma pienso del resto de canciones. Creo que las que más valen la pena, al menos según yo, son Black Swan, Shadow, My Time, UGH!, Louder than bombs y We are bulletprof: the Eternal. No voy a hablar sobre cada una, sólo decir que las 20 canciones del álbum tienen diferentes cosas por las ser resaltadas (letra, melodía, habilidades vocales, historias del artista, etc). Al final, las canciones de BTS no dejan de dejar reflexiones y/o mensajes positivos. Siendo joven, afirmo que la música del grupo crece y madura conforme yo lo voy haciendo. Ellos tocan los tópicos sobre los que uno puede necesitar escuchar, como el amor en sí, el autoestima, la negatividad y aceptación, el autoconocimiento, etc. Y en este álbum sucede lo mismo.

    Otra vez, personalmente, creo que este álbum es fantástico. A muchas personas no les habrá gustado, pero me tomé el tiempo de escucharlo, pensarlo y entenderlo, y creo que al igual que yo, cualquiera podría hacerlo y poder apreciar alguna de todas las cosas que el grupo nos quiso brindar con su trabajo.

    Gracias ;)

    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.
