    I love the whole album. They make songs with so many genres. They never failed to amaze me by the music they make. They talk about themselves, how they struggle in the music industry, how they have their own persona, shadow and ego.

    This album is very good, the songs have various genres. The meaning of the song is also very relevant to life, one of which is entitled Zero O'clock, the song is very inspiring for people who feel like a failure.

    This album has songs that can be adjusted according to the listener's mood. Just call it a complete package and their voices fits the melody of the song. Don't forget the cover, I love the design, it's one of masterpieces

    Beautiful album, definitely one of their best. Everything is placed accordingly to formulate a wonderful and inspiring story about 7 boys who have reached the top but struggle with the aftermath of fame. Each song is perfectly intertwined with Dr. Carl Jung’s Map of the Soul which seeks for the true self. The best album of 2020.

    BTS delivered a huge array of songs in this album. Rap, ballad, pop genres are represented, with lyrics that resonate and inspire, that speak of longing and despair, that tells the haters to back the eff up and gtfo. Their mv's to date match the vibes of the music. Personal faves: We are Bulletproof The Eternal, Ugh, Zero OClock, Ego, Shadow, Black Swan, ON.

    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.
