Creo que es uno de sus mejores álbumes, en particular este álbum es como más personal ,hablan de sus miedos,sus seguridades e inseguridades,de etapas de su vida, de su amistad y el amor que le tienen a su fandom, me gustó mucho, lástima que muchas personas rechacen su música solo por los famosos que son y no se den tiempo para escucharla y analizarla,creo que BTS ya se salio del encasillamiento del Kpop tanto en género de música como el ritmo y las temáticas de sus canciones… Expand

    An album full of message, with a mix of rhythms and concepts a little different from what BTS is used to doing! But they are versatile and that is why they reach such a diverse audience! Do not draw conclusions from the hater ratings, give the opportunity and listen to the entire album! If you do not speak Korean, look for translations that have interpretations, as many of the expressions they use will not make sense to us, so the importance of not translating literally!

    Honestly, maybe BTS's best album till day. I've seen them grow up, experiment with different sounds, they have a great genre catalog. BTS has become one of the greatest artists of our times. Their lyrics always have deep meanings and are relatable. They work incredible hard to keep improving themselves as persons and artists. Higly recomended.

On what was BTS (& their team) producing and composing, I'm so glad that finally they decided to put other genres into their songs: more R&B beats, more Pop-based beats, choirs and more realistic/acoustic instruments, excessive amount of autotune that is a 'trend' on Hip-Hop music (and also hilarious), etc. Lyrically talking, they become more honest and began to truly embrace their 'shadow' and all the pains that comes with it, 'cuz that's part of life, right?

    Every single song in the album showcases a different side of the group. The solo songs allow the members to demonstrate their individual talents while the sub units and group songs present their bond. The album has a style for everyone's taste with a mix of different genres from pop to hiphop. It's an awesome album.

    A very emotionally touching Album, with so many songs that speak about issues everyone deals with from time to time. A variety of genres are included and this way made a good job for conveying BTS's message that they will never leave us alone and that we will go through the issues together. Showing us how far they've made it, although it seemed impossible at the beginning.

    It's such a great album! The songs are fresh and diverse. I really liked the songs "louder than bombs" and "zero o'clock". The latter has soothing and comforting lyrics. Also, the song called "ugh!" is a bop. Overall, all the songs from the album are brilliant and I don't think I'm gonna skip any of the songs.

    The whole album is reflection on their past-selves. The lyrics are so well written. Ugh! is such a hard-hitting song. 'Louder than bombs' is one of my favorite track. 'Black Swan' can resonate any artist's heart. 'ON' give you an inspiration to fight. 'We are Bulletproof: Eternal' gives reassurance that they are alone but together in the journey.

    One of the most heartfelt and genuine albums I have ever heard. They were not afraid to pour all the emotions they feel into the tracks. Each track is a standout of its own. The production is strong on this.

    This album is amazing, every song have a great message to the listener and to BTS themselves. I love all songs but "We are bulletproof: the Eternal" made me cry, when I heard it for the first time. Whole album is breathtaking and I hope people who don't know BTS, will give them a chance and will listen to this album . Their songs are live changing.

    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.

The solo songs and unit performances, the latter a first for BTS, explore new themes and concepts in a very entertaining way. This series, inspired by Carl Jung's prolific work, has given the audience a rare glimpse at the psyche of artists who were propelled into the centre of all attention fueled solely by their sincerity and hardwork.

    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.
