    So amazing. Each song is heart felt and meaningful. It’s like one amazing song to the next. It’s truly that album that out shines.

    when you hear the whole album, you will now how they growth. they sampled few of their old songs to make a new one. this is not the same BTS as they were a year ago, they matured a lot musically. with more rich sounds and deeper lyrics, they tell you stories of how they grow.

    It's an amazing and very diverse album, with meaningful lyrics (check translations!) and that showcases the colors of each member individually. A love letter to fans, to the group, to the time spent together, with reflections on fame, hateful comments, fear, friendship, hardships and resilience.

    Honestly, one of their greatest works. Great lyrics, phenomenal beats and super versatile.
    The rap/hiphop tracks got me hooked. May consider myself an army too from now on. Just wow

There is also a diversification between the various genres of the songs, which could unite any person who goes beyond linguistic boundaries. I'm not really the best in the description, but I can assure you that this is an album to listen carefully at least once in your life. Listen, because even without reading the message of the song will be transmitted to you, because the voices of the singers are truly expressive. They transcend any barrier and give you any emotion there is to try.… Expand

    The amount of effort the boys (and everyone involved in this project) has me overflowing with so much love. They only deserve the highest rating with how much thought they put into this album.

    A forma como eles souberam produzir esse álbum é surreal, as letras, as melodias, tudo.
    Na faixa título ON, a maneira como no início da música eles incluíram uma banda de marchinha é surreal, distorce toda a ideia que possa existir de algo genérico. O álbum supera expectativas e te faz mergulhar em uma experiência incrível e única.

    Las canciones, las letras, la composicion de cada una y del album entero es simplemente espectacular. Si uno escucha en orden de principio a fin el album, de verdad siente ese camino por el shadow y por el ego de los chicos y hasta de uno mismo. Es un nuevo genero para los chicos y un nuevo reto y me parece que lograron muy bien poner sus sentimientos en este album. Completamente recomendado

    Nunca decepcionam. Todos os detalhes foram pensados pra entregar aos armys uma experiência íntima com cada um dos 7 meninos.
    Se você ouvir sem preconceito com certeza encontrará uma mensagem para você.

    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.
