    All the songs in between show how versatile and extremely talented musicians BTS are. Jumping from funk pop (Boy With Luv) to r&b (My Time), synth-pop (Jamais Vu), rock (Dionysus), cloud rap/r&b (Black Swan), Latin pop (Filter), Ballad (00:00), indie (Inner Child) etc.
    All of this equipped with profound lyrics inspired by the members' personal experiences hand-in-hand with references from: mythology (Dionysus - the Greek God of Wine, but also a symbol of irrationality); psychology (Interlude: Shadow - the unconsciousness, the darkest and most intimate part of psyche, everything you have repressed); Martha Graham (Black Swan - dying the first death, the lost of your passion) and much more.    … Expand

    Once again BTS experiment with new genres and sounds while still calling back to their old music. The songs have a wide range of emotions and feelings and I'm pretty sure ON just became my new gym music

    I really enjoyed this. The solo songs were especially stand out for me, my time is probably #1 from those. I think the song i like the most (for now) is louder than bombs. That’s such a special track. Ugh goes crazy, friends is super cute and zero o’clock is pretty as hell. Im just in shock

    Uma viagem profunda pela história do grupo, suas dificuldades e seu processo de amadurecimento que os levou a aceitar seu próprio eu.

    The album is a splendid job, you can feel the soul of the group in each song, each solo, each beat. A mix of musical genres that is pleasant to accompany and listen to, and the maturity of BTS is noticeable.

    7 is a very enjoyable and highly emotional album. The main point was to translate the members feelings over the seven years they've been together, about their connection as 7 individuals that learned to respect and lean on each other and their personal journey. No doubts, MOTS:7 did it spendidly.

    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.
