    this album is so good it got me hooked to BTS and become ARMY, each track is legend but special soft spot for Filter, Friends, Louder than bombs and Ugh. Black swan is highly emotional , ON rips through your gut and bullet proof the eternal makes you want to sob.

    O álbum muito bem estruturado onde se tem uma história por trás, muito elaborado em volta da obra de jung sobre a persona, ego e shadow.

    El álbum cuenta con diferentes sonidos que permiten explorar la personalidad de cada miembro (que además cuentan con un solo).
    Un álbum muy personal, Namjoon explicó el significado de cada canción y la verdad es muy profundo, reyes del pop

    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.
