    O álbum demonstra facilmente o quanto o grupo amadureceu musicalmente e as faixas refletem facilmente isso. Claramente o melhor da carreira do BTS até agora.

    If we are going to check everything that the album has to offer, we should highlight it as the main detail, if we change the language for any of the planet, the message of BTS is clear! ARMY AND BTS ARE LOVE

    BTS prove again that they are worthy of the title princes of pop, pavers of the way.... This album contains bts' view of life, their past, them accepting there's a shadow and light in them, getting over their harships and using them to become stronger,album of the year.

    great album, i love how each new track flows to the second. Love how they blended instrumentals, how many layers you can uncover with the second listen. the only critical note, i don't think sia version necessary nor including persona tracks.

    Take this album as an opportunity to see each member shine in their own way and then observe their different lights of artisticity fusing beautifully into each other. Like a reverse Newton's prism, if that makes sense.

    O álbum fala d questões mt bonitas como a amizade dos vmin, os anos q eles passaram do lado das armys e alguns assuntos delicados como a letra d jamais vu. Resumindo, o álbum está impecável.

    It is their most intimate album, it brings refreshing and diverse rhythms and at the same time it sounds suffocating because it permeates themes such as the dangers and anxiety of fame, the difficulty of finding yourself in a life that often takes you out of reality and your fear to lose the love for music. it's a long and valiant journey of 20 songs until they show that they will fightIt is their most intimate album, it brings refreshing and diverse rhythms and at the same time it sounds suffocating because it permeates themes such as the dangers and anxiety of fame, the difficulty of finding yourself in a life that often takes you out of reality and your fear to lose the love for music. it's a long and valiant journey of 20 songs until they show that they will fight for what they believe in, and I think it's beautiful.… 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.
