    It's amazing how these guys can pull off anything and better each time. They deserve more recognition with the works that they've put out. The vocal range, the story and meaning behind these songs, the choreography, it's undeniable even if you aren't a fan that BTS deserve so much more than this. I hope they keep producing bomb music as always. Sending in my well wishes.

    The album is honestly the best album I have ever listened to. It has such sweet emotional tracks about the boys themselves such as Friends, Inner Child and We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal and such boppy songs such as Outro: EGO. it shares a deep message with the fans that ,in my opinion, no other musician has done BTS are truly the boyband of the century

    I am not a BTS fan but my sister is and she sent me the link on the new album and I was beyond shook. It's a masterpiece. The diversity, the talent, the vocals, and most importantly the meanings behind those lyrics!! I use to think bts was overrated but now I really think they're underrated. Seriously, give these dudes a chance, you'll see why they're loved and cherished by their fans.

Many of the new songs are better about balancing Easter eggs for day-ones with new entry points for more casual listeners.
