    Different genres are all here in one album. Their music and values really outstanding. If you listen and trying to understand the lyrics, you will know why BTS ARMY love and support BTS so much with their heart

    The whole album smell like home. I mean, BTS put positive energy and healing through their album Map Of The Soul 7. Break the language barrier, they send powerful support and sincerity through their lyrics, their song and the whole album.

    Map of the soul : 7 by BTS is a album with amazing songs in it, the songs in this album has incredible meanings, does't have an ordinary topic, the songs in this album has a extraordinary topic like psychology, love our self topic, friendship, environmental issues, and the things they (BTS) feel.

    This album contains several genre that can fit into an album. The flow of overall album from the track number 1 until the last track have an overall story which make it special. The lyrics of each song and the lyrics of overall songs give a unique nuance that I personally couldn't find in the latest album of 2020.

    MOTS 7 was released right before I became a BTS ARMY, and the concept behind this album is so much more wonderful after having listened to their Love Yourself album series which preceeded 'Map of the Soul: Persona' and '7' as BTS never fails to connect the dots with their music to keep their listeners engaged.

    Un par de canciones pasables pero nada más. Estos chicos perdieron su esencia hace mucho por volverse del gusto masivo wéstern y para eso renunciaron a lo que los hacía destacar. Sumado a que son él grupos menos versatil y el más mediocre si hablamos en cuestion de talento real! Solo son puro marketing!

    The songs are cool, Masterpiece. The meaning of their songs is so beautiful and so inspiring to listeners. One of them, In a song called interlude: shadow, "The moment I'm flying high as I wished, My shadows grows in that blasting stark light." This part makes me more confident and not afraid to achieve my dreams because I feel that I am not alone, there are BTS members who feel the same way like me. Even if the shadow continues to scare me, I will not be afraid.

    Thank you, BTS    … Expand

    BTS continue to tell stories with their songs. The lyrics go deep into their emotions as artist. Black swan covers their fears and ON gives them the courage to keep going. MOTS 7 goes from rap to some Latin rhythm as well as from sad and anxiety to hope and happiness.

    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.
