    Brilliant. Just brilliant.
    I thought no other bts album will top ly: tear but oh Boi did they prove me wrong.
    They never disappoint.

    This is basically a series of love letters and diary snippets that BTS wants to share with the world. The music is so good and don't feel manufactured. The lyrics are thought provoking and play with your feelings (if you bothered enough to read the translated lyrics). Please read the lyrics, then you will know what I'm talking about. ;)

    O álbum ficou simplesmente incrível e acredito que mantem toda a essência do BTS que conhecemos, em MOTS:7 é perceptível o crescimento musical do meninos, um ano que marca seus sete anos anos juntos e sua evolução. Todas as suas músicas ficaram incríveis e acho que os representa bem tanto quanto artistas quanto como pessoas.

    I honestly didn't think that they could top their previous works like Love Yourself: Tear but they did. I really love this new album. It's full of twists and turns and spans several genres masterfully in a way that only BTS can. The songs sound good anyway, but when you really dig deep into the lyrics of tracks like 'My Time' and 'UGH!' you really realise just how incredible of lyricists they are.

    when you hear the whole album, you will now how they growth. they sampled few of their old songs to make a new one. this is not the same BTS as they were a year ago, they matured a lot musically. with more rich sounds and deeper lyrics, they tell you stories of how they grow.

A love letter to fans, to the group, to the time spent together, with reflections on fame, hateful comments, fear, friendship, hardships and resilience.

I'm not really the best in the description, but I can assure you that this is an album to listen carefully at least once in your life. Listen, because even without reading the message of the song will be transmitted to you, because the voices of the singers are truly expressive.

    A forma como eles souberam produzir esse álbum é surreal, as letras, as melodias, tudo.
    Na faixa título ON, a maneira como no início da música eles incluíram uma banda de marchinha é surreal, distorce toda a ideia que possa existir de algo genérico. O álbum supera expectativas e te faz mergulhar em uma experiência incrível e única.

The genre is a blend as it always is with BTS, as is the overall tone. Melodically and lyrically the members will take you on an emotional roller-coaster, with dark themes, sometimes sweet sugary pop, hype anthems, dreamlike vocals, beautiful melodies and splashes of comedy. If you do yourself an immense favour, and take time to pay attention to the lyrics you will be able to discover that this is a celebration of a 7 year old friendship as well as a clear representation of who they are individually and together.

    A lovely combination of both hip hop and ballad tracks that reveal the core essence of the band as a whole. With touching tributes to their loyal fans ARMY, sharp rap-filled response to their haters, and tear-jerking songs about their difficult road to the top and love for each other this album truly shows the best of BTS both in their technical skill and their emotional range.

    É um álbum como poucos artistas do mainstream têm entregado. Mescla a história deles, fatos que os fãs vão se lembrar e fazer a conexão com mensagens que pode atingir qualquer pessoa sendo fã ou não. A produção foi impecável e marcante tanto nas musicas de units, solos e do grupo.

Mescla a história deles, fatos que os fãs vão se lembrar e fazer a conexão com mensagens que pode atingir qualquer pessoa sendo fã ou não. A produção foi impecável e marcante tanto nas musicas de units, solos e do grupo. Eles conseguiram fazer o que um grupo tem mais dificuldade: fazer uma música cantada por todos os membros parecer pessoal para cada um deles, não apenas para um ou outro mesmo quando não foram os 7 que participaram da produção e composição. Consigo ver também como esse álbum vai envelhecer bem e com o tempo se mostrar verdadeiramente memorável.… Expand

    honestly just by the versitality of genre in the album itself is already a great and amazing thing to see. but as analyzing the meaning of each and every lyrics into depth, the bar has lifted that i couldnt believe how greatly written it is! and just as well as the sincerity. the meaning behind this album and what bts exactly wanted to deliver is just a mind-blown concept. especially howhonestly just by the versitality of genre in the album itself is already a great and amazing thing to see. but as analyzing the meaning of each and every lyrics into depth, the bar has lifted that i couldnt believe how greatly written it is! and just as well as the sincerity. the meaning behind this album and what bts exactly wanted to deliver is just a mind-blown concept. especially how it relates to their personal life/experience, its just become a very special and deary album yet to become.… Expand

    MAP OF THE SOUL 7 . Truly takes you on a ride with genre hopping songs and stories of the 7 korean boys who dared to dream and eventually made it !

    The album is expected to break many upcoming and already existing records. Highly recommend to listen to their sincere thoughts, since especially in Map of the soul 7, seven artists are talking directly to the listeners, trying to tell how they truly feel. Love it already with all my heart.

    You can see how they've grown up so much from this album. The music genres and styles, and bringing in the march bands to their title track as well. I really enjoyed the whole album as they always gives out the most unexpected and greatest songs every time! It's definitely one of the best album been released this year so far!

    Phenomenal, creative, brilliant, fresh, GENIUS, etc etc. They showcase a level of talent and diversity that you just can't find anywhere else, it's special and extremely unique. It's been 7 years and I have yet to see BTS come up with something bland or generic (and I genuinely don't think it is possible at this point). I'm blown away by their work every single time.

    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.
