    this album is very progressed and much more an in-sink/intake to what you could expect from them, but I feel like they lacked on the singles that had singing in it, but as an army, I really liked this, but I had and STILL HAVE high expectations for bangtan. yes, we had some mainstream pop songs in the album, but I feel like the groove, or the mainstream pop I heard from them was slightlythis album is very progressed and much more an in-sink/intake to what you could expect from them, but I feel like they lacked on the singles that had singing in it, but as an army, I really liked this, but I had and STILL HAVE high expectations for bangtan. yes, we had some mainstream pop songs in the album, but I feel like the groove, or the mainstream pop I heard from them was slightly falling off though. still, an amazing album, just not really getting me at the groove factor I needed.… Expand

    A beautiful combination of poetry and diversity, divided into 20 songs but united in "7"

    Es uno de sus mejores álbumes de seguro estará en un top 3 de cualquier Army, el sonido, el ritmo, la música, las letras, los vocales, el rap y el sentimiento que le ponen es bellísimo.

La música de BTS siempre es buena, cada canción en sus álbumes es genial, lo más increíble son sus letras, la sinceridad que le ponen, sus experiencias, sus sentimientos, sus pensamientos y sueños, no es difícil ser empático con estos chico, son súper talentosos pero son re humanos, tienen un corazón puro y es por eso que su música es tan fantástica porque el artista lo es. Es difícil hacerle cumplidos a Bangtan últimamente porque cada vez vuelven con algo mejor y mejor y las palabras se quedan cortísimas para alagarlos por su arduo trabajo porque no es solo talento sino pasión y mucho esfuerzo. BTS siempre es un 1000 de 10 para mí … Expand

    It's a beautiful progression. We already know what persona was about. Keeping that story in mind we get to continue with Interlude: Shadow which, amazingly so, has outdone itself from the trailer. The extra 1 minute or so add invigorating flavour to the melodic rap.

The solos have absolutely blown my mind. Without a doubt. Louder than bombs and The Eternal are sure shot tearjerkers. My love for them and their craft has only increased with the determination they showed in the title track ON. This album is definitely worth a listen. Even if you're not a fan.… Expand

    Amei, a mudança drástica de estilo entre uma música e outra, me permite ter mais sensações enquanto ouço o álbum. Acho que realmente deve ser apreciado por mais diferente a língua a voz dos cantores me permite compreender sobre os sentimentos deles na música, como em we are bulletproof eternal e moon.

    This has to be their best, most high-quality album ever. The production on each track is amazing. The 10 month wait for this album was extremely worth-it. I would rate each new song an average of 90-98, though there are 3 songs that would get an 86-89, but only because of preference. BTS did an amazing job and I’m very proud of this project.

    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.
