    BTS album never disappoint. So many genres in this album. Give it a listen first also look for a credible translation. Just try to listen to their music without any prejudice and you will like it.

    Once again, they have released an amazing album. I liked this one even better than the last one. Every song is different but they go together really well and I didn't expect anything else.

    This album is amazing! All the effort & hard work they put in is so noticeable! All the songs in this album give off a feeling of comfort, yes even the cypher. This is by far one of their greatest albums!

    It's a whole story of BTS put together into 20 creative, remarkable songs with some of the amazing lyrics the boys have ever put into their works. Definitely their best work to date and there's no limits to BTS talents

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is on another level. When you think that BTS cannot outdo, they really show that they can do it. This album comprises so many different genres and ERACH MEMBER took part in it. If you like music you should at least give it a try. There is a “UGH”song which points out that in the Internet truth becomes lies and viceversa. “ON” and “ON” (feat. Sia) both great songs, although SIA has a little part in it it is still gives the song a different shade. Bridge part (Jungkook’s part) is so unique and beautiful, I really got goosebumps while listening to it. Solo and unit songs are great! Give it A chance… Expand

    They really outdone themselves with MOTS:7. As what they describe that this album is all about them- hence the name 7. Having a hard time to choose my favourite but if I have to; On, Black Swan, UGH! and The Eternal are my favourite. Overall, MOTS:7 is really one of their best album!

    Just a masterpiece.
    This album showcases BTS biggest asset : Their versatility. From pop to rnb to hip hop to jazzy sounds, BTS knows no limits. Vocals and raps are of course top notch. BTS really affirmed themselves as artists with this album, and let’s note that all the 7 members participated in producing, composing and in the lyrics writing of the album.
    Give them a try you won’t be    Just a masterpiece.

    Um ótimo álbum, músicas tocantes e para todos os gostos. A faixa principal “ON” tem uma batida legal e um refrão chiclete. Eu realmente gostei muito do álbum, não teve uma música que não tenha sido do meu agrado.

    bts's best album to date. they keep innovating themselves every single comeback and pushing the boundaries of genres, 7 is a perfect mix of everything one enjoys in music. the lyrics are the stand-out, it's a highly personal adventure through their seven year career and they should be proud of everything they've achieved including this masterpiece. bravo. 10/10.

    Amazing! Best album of theirs yet! And best album period. I love how strong the sound is, yet how gentle their message is...a powerful antithesis if you ask me. :) love bts

    One of Best Release on 2020.
    Every tracks has different type of music, yet still beautiful the same. No need to understand Korean to know how emotional the songs because music transcends language, but if you look for the lyric translations it will be very much even more beautiful.

    This album is very wholesome not only do we get to see all the members different musical styles we also have a story that they’re telling that is universally important which isn’t really prominent in pop music nowadays. Not only that each song has a different sound it never gets boring constantly keeping you on your toes.

    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.
