    João 8:32 "conhecereis a verdade e ela vos libertará". Quem ainda não escutou e ainda diz q não gosta das lendas por opinião da boca de quem fala mal, não conhece bts de verdade e ta perdendo a oportunidade de ouvir artistas incriveis. Fiquem c deus pq a palavra ja terão escutado dps de dar stream nas 7 trombetas do senhor

    One of the most interesting things about every BTS album is their variety in sounds. They are never afraid of trying new sounds and put it inside of the same album. Their albuns themes are not the music style, but their messages, what they're speaking to us, what they're talking about.

They are never afraid of trying new sounds and put it inside of the same album. Their albuns themes are not the music style, but their messages, what they're speaking to us, what they're talking about. Map of the Soul: 7 is full of different and incredible melodies without losing its main theme: a journey inside of yourself, to find and understand yourself. As a psychology student, I feel completely mesmerised to see them using Carl Jung in such a clever and special way not only in their personal life, but also helping others to reflect for themselves.

    The album is full of masterpieces with incredible melodies and deep lyrics, questioning themselves and leading themselves (while also leading us) into a personal journey, that keep you connected until the end.

    I still can't pick a favorite track, but Black Swan is something beyond this world... I've never heard anything more deep, melancholic, feral and frightening as an expression of the fear of losing the love for your art/work/hobbies. I felt that. Is like drowning inside a lake to face yourself, your fears and your lost passion. It's not an easy track to me, be the trap version, with a traditional instrument hidden in the back of the song, or the orchestral, full of weeping violins... You're not the same once you finish Black Swan and Map Of The Soul: 7.    … Expand

    Great songs ! The album’s message is one must face his inner shadows but resist becoming submerged into its depths. Accepting yourself even the dark sides. I can relate in their lyrics very well as someone who’s been through depression, it helps someone to get through it. I personally recommend BTS’ songs especially on this album. Great work!

    Mots7 do BTS é mais que um álbum, é uma obra completa que nos convida a conhecer o perfil de artista do nível deles, mostra como eles nunca estão presos em apenas um conceito e como só eles é capaz de entregar algo tão completo e variado. Recomendo que ouçam, leiam a letra e apreciem o maior grupo do mundo.

    Map of the Soul 7 by BTS is a fantastic album, the way that the members took themes from Carl Jung's Persona, Ego and Shadow concepts and Dr. Murray Stein's books on the same topic, and delved into their own feelings and experiences as people and artists and expressed themselves in music is nothing short of perfect art.

    O melhor álbum deles. Eles exploram tantos gêneros diferentes e conseguem fazer todos darem certo. Apesar de ter músicas diversas, o álbum é muito coeso.
    Também vale lembrar que o álbum já vendeu mais de 4 milhões de cópias físicas desde seu lançamento.

    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.
