    Tryhard. There was a lack of spark with the songs and I am not going to read the lyrics to understand their artistry which I think doesn't exist in Kpop. Kpop is all about addictive songs and music videos and think this album is lacking in both.

    is a powerful album some songs more that others, i personally think the sia collaboration is bad, but the bts works are really improved so much all this years, the instrumentals are AMAZING the mix hip hop, pop and some many others rhythms in this albums that is crazy

    I dare to say that this is one of the best albums in music history. I was sure BTS will give us again an amazing album but this is even better then I expected. They really deserve to be called Kings of Pop. Fighting Bangtan!

I can’t stop listening, from start to finish this album really transcends the language barrier abs is one of the best pop albums I have ever heard and defiantly one of the best of not the best of the year 2020 so far . Friends is something really unique , because it’s not common that you hear two men singing together and calling each other soulmates wether it’s platonic or not . I could go on and on but this album deserves a 10/10 across the board !… Expand

    Um ótimo álbum, parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho meninos. A complexidade de sentimentos que são sentidos ao escutar as músicas e a forma como ela ultrapassa barreiras linguísticas me deixam completamente arrepiada, principalmente porque essas coisas eu sinto que encontro apenas em vocês. Novamente parabéns.

    people still put them under the kpop category?? Hello this album is just chefs kiss. As someone who doesn’t listen to many artist out of the west they gave an amazing expression. Also antis that are giving these bad reviews it’s not good to lie. Also the beat on UGH! was NASTY (in a good way)
    They really snapped & might become a stan...

    Esse álbum é incrível, os arranjos muito bem feitos e que remetem músicas antigas do próprio grupo são a melhor parte.

    I've seen some people from other fandoms on twitter wants to rate this album a 0 just because metacritic gave it a high score. If you are that bitter, than your favs need better fans. Instead of supporting favs, you are rating an album that you didnt even try to listen to a 0. Please grow up

    The album is organic and exciting, in previous albums sometimes I did not indetide or was not complementaryly conquered by certain tracks, but with MOTS7 is different, everything is amazing from start to finish. I identify myself and fascino myself for the ideas reflected in each note. These kids deserve the world, many will say that they are "not good or that they are part of fashion",The album is organic and exciting, in previous albums sometimes I did not indetide or was not complementaryly conquered by certain tracks, but with MOTS7 is different, everything is amazing from start to finish. I identify myself and fascino myself for the ideas reflected in each note. These kids deserve the world, many will say that they are "not good or that they are part of fashion", but I completely disagree. They've conquered their place and they're staying, no matter what they say. I don't write those words just because I'm an Army, I admire them and respect them above all like other human beings, not just artists. I am very proud of the people they are and all that made them come to what they are, it was all done with great dedication and love for the dreams they possess and for the affection they have for the fans. Please listen to MOTS7 with all your heart and ignore malicious comments, troubled people tend to hate what they don't understand. Thank you, BTS!! Thank you, Kim Namjun. Thank you, Kim Seokjin. Thank you, Min Yoongi. Thank you, Jung Hoseok. Thank you, Kim Taehyung. Thank you, Park Jimin. Thank you, Jeon Jeongguk. You're part of my story and I'm very happy to have met you.… Expand

    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.
