They prepared the album Map of the Soul 7 very carefully,and in detail. They chose a place that was very beautiful so it could spoil the eyes. and also the preparation of the agency and the members is very mature. of the music tracks they have many songs that have great and deep meanings. and also what I think is great they insert a theory… Expand

    Map of the Soul 7 is by far BTS' most lyrically and musically best on their vast discography next to Love Yourself Tear. The album continues its promise on exploring the Jung psychology including Persona, Shadow, and Ego delving on the profound state of the mind. Its single, Black Swan, is probably the best track exploring the concept of losing passion as first death.

The b-sides are as good, especially Moon, which is named as the 5th best boy group song by Rolling Stone.… Expand

    as a fan, i like the album more than previous one. mainly because i feel the lyrics very nostalgic and sentimental. All of the song reflect their time, hardworks, youth, pains and issues perfectly.

    the 7th album to celebrate the 7th year debut of 7th boy is really insane with a classical style bts music tittle track "on" who succes perform at grand central terminal, and the bside tracs "louder than bombs" is the pop rnb tracks who sings with the sexy voice that i love the most.

    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.
