    Amazing album, truly portrays de essence of BTS and their members. Friends is probably the most precious song melody-and-lyrics wise I have ever heard in my entire life. BTS’ members were truly meant to be a group.

    This album continues the journey of 7 young men, it's their story. The real-ness and sincerity shines bright. Each track completely different in blended genre's and mood. I believe this is another milestone for BTS and I'm on board.

    A true masterpiece.

    A well-thought album from the concept to the songs by itself, all lyrics are significant and show the growth of 7 lovers of music in a cruel industry, shows the best parts of their life that went through time and how sometimes sucess is not a good thing. An album to show the world that music can be meaningful even if don't understand all of it, so they write their    A true masterpiece.

    A well-thought album from the concept to the songs by itself, all lyrics are significant and show the growth of 7 lovers of music in a cruel industry, shows the best parts of their life that went through time and how sometimes sucess is not a good thing. An album to show the world that music can be meaningful even if don't understand all of it, so they write their lyrics thinking on those who are brave to leave the comfort of musics on their own language.

    Amazing how they are the only artists to envolve some topics with musics and still manage to wonder people all around the world and making them want to understand them, to search for more answers, to make people study different things like Carl Jung so they can know better the whole concept of the lyrics.

    Incredible work to mark their 7th year of career, and making people more and more familiarized with them.    … Expand

    para as pessoas que apenas irão escutar as músicas razoavelmente e sem estar com a mente aberta vai achar superficial por não conhecer a história por trás das letras, as melodias não as melhores deles mas cada letra tem um pedaço de suas individualidades, por exemplo, friends, my time, wab the eternal e ego. umas das coisas surpreendentes sobre o álbum é a quantidade de gêneros que separa as pessoas que apenas irão escutar as músicas razoavelmente e sem estar com a mente aberta vai achar superficial por não conhecer a história por trás das letras, as melodias não as melhores deles mas cada letra tem um pedaço de suas individualidades, por exemplo, friends, my time, wab the eternal e ego. umas das coisas surpreendentes sobre o álbum é a quantidade de gêneros que se reúnem em um só álbum, e o fato de que quase todos os integrantes fizeram parte das composições das músicas é valoroso para os considerar artistas. o fato de tudo isso e os recordes que o álbum reúne é mérito de um grupo de jovens garotos faz a coisa se tornar ainda maior.… Expand

    One of the best albums of this year. Each track tells us a different story of their own lives and in a sort of biographical way. The persona, the fame and its darkness , the ego all in one album presents us a beautiful story.

    O álbum é maravilhoso, como toda obra do grupo. Amo como eles conseguem passar por vários gêneros ao longo do álbum e ainda o tornar coeso. As faixas solos são incríveis e mostram novas versões de cada membro. As músicas de units são ótimas.

    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.
