    This album is simply amazing! Every song is addicting and well made. The album explores many different genres and is simply made for every taste. It sounds a lot like a throwback to BTS origins in music while showing their grow and maturity as artists. Grammy worth!

    When I listened to ON, Jungkook’s vocals brought tears to my eyes. I don’t know why, but I felt moved. Other songs that stand out to me are Interlude: Shadow and UGH! The rapline never fails to deliver songs that are bangers. I get excited listening to each members part and how they deliver their part.

Other songs that stand out to me are Interlude: Shadow and UGH! The rapline never fails to deliver songs that are bangers. I get excited listening to each members part and how they deliver their part. UGH! is definitely a headbanger; in Shadow everything is building up to that change in the music and then it brings you to a headbanger. Lastly, they ended the album perfectly with We are Bulletproof: the Eternal and Outro: Ego. We are Bulletproof: the Eternal is really touching to ARMY. “We were only seven / But we have you all now,” really gets to me because after all the struggle they went through, they were able to find us and we found them. Outro: Ego is the perfect song to follow Bulletproof after feeling emotional over the lyrics. Outro: Ego is a party song and is very uplifting. It’s a song that you want to dance to.… Expand

    Such an amazing album, you could hear their emotions through their voices. The album made me cry, I may not understand the language but I could decipher their meaning through the music. A great album, I hope people could check it out.

    I can honestly say that this album is BTS' best album to this date. I started to listen to the album with high expectations and was not disappointed.
    A mainly soft yet mature album with catchy songs that are not "too much".
    They really hit the spot here especially since the members cowrote a lot of their songs.

    map of the soul 7 a very personal Bts project that shows part of the history and a great growth as artists. I emphasize the way they have to integrate different sounds with each album. A clear example is Filter played by Park Jimin, a game of different sounds and styles completely cover this new project. In short, map of the soul 7 is an album that has great pillars that support its success.

    Map of the Soul:7 is the album where I was able to listen and understand the struggles BTS has/is going through, relate in my own way to their powerful music (with their song Black Swan especially), and be introduced to different genres I normally would not have listened to on my own. If you're unsure whether you should give this album a chance I can assure you that you will not be disappointed!

    Perhaps their most ambitious album yet, Map Of The Soul: 7 showcases the unity and strength of the individuals as a whole while giving each member their own time to shine. With the hip hop anthem ON as a lead single, 7 is sure to be a hit among fans and new listeners to the group.

It is absolutely impossible to not find a song you will like, no matter the genre you root for. Even the classical music lovers will have their fair share of "oh my, listen to that cello". I would recommend having lyrics on the side as well if you are not familiar with the BTS universe and philosophy (with a preference for Jung theories). Some of them are really worthy of being studied like any other poetry. So go ahead and try something which is really ahead of our time. A warning though. Once you fall in this rabbit hole, it's over. There will be a lot of crying, but also lots of smiles. Enjoy!… Expand

    BTS outdo themselves again. All tracks are so good. The melodies and beat are really well constructed. The lyrics are very well written with important messages behind whereby they discussed their stance on current society. There is nothing negative about this album.

    BTS made a perfect job with "Map of the Soul: 7". It's not only about the melodies, but also the lyrics, the message behind every track on the album, the hard work they always put when it comes to make a song or album. The performances, choreographies, all the things they do on a comeback, since composing until performing them, they really outstand. They shine.

    Phenomenal, creative, brilliant, fresh, GENIUS, etc etc. They showcase a level of talent and diversity that you just can't find anywhere else, it's special and extremely unique. It's been 7 years and I have yet to see BTS come up with something bland or generic (and I genuinely don't think it is possible at this point). I'm blown away by their work every single time.

    You can see how they've grown up so much from this album. The music genres and styles, and bringing in the march bands to their title track as well. I really enjoyed the whole album as they always gives out the most unexpected and greatest songs every time! It's definitely one of the best album been released this year so far!

    honestly just by the versitality of genre in the album itself is already a great and amazing thing to see. but as analyzing the meaning of each and every lyrics into depth, the bar has lifted that i couldnt believe how greatly written it is! and just as well as the sincerity. the meaning behind this album and what bts exactly wanted to deliver is just a mind-blown concept. especially howhonestly just by the versitality of genre in the album itself is already a great and amazing thing to see. but as analyzing the meaning of each and every lyrics into depth, the bar has lifted that i couldnt believe how greatly written it is! and just as well as the sincerity. the meaning behind this album and what bts exactly wanted to deliver is just a mind-blown concept. especially how it relates to their personal life/experience, its just become a very special and deary album yet to become.… Expand

    The album is expected to break many upcoming and already existing records. Highly recommend to listen to their sincere thoughts, since especially in Map of the soul 7, seven artists are talking directly to the listeners, trying to tell how they truly feel. Love it already with all my heart.

Eles conseguiram fazer o que um grupo tem mais dificuldade: fazer uma música cantada por todos os membros parecer pessoal para cada um deles, não apenas para um ou outro mesmo quando não foram os 7 que participaram da produção e composição. Consigo ver também como esse álbum vai envelhecer bem e com o tempo se mostrar verdadeiramente memorável.… Expand

    A lovely combination of both hip hop and ballad tracks that reveal the core essence of the band as a whole. With touching tributes to their loyal fans ARMY, sharp rap-filled response to their haters, and tear-jerking songs about their difficult road to the top and love for each other this album truly shows the best of BTS both in their technical skill and their emotional range.

    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.
