Es difícil hacerle cumplidos a Bangtan últimamente porque cada vez vuelven con algo mejor y mejor y las palabras se quedan cortísimas para alagarlos por su arduo trabajo porque no es solo talento sino pasión y mucho esfuerzo.

    This has to be their best, most high-quality album ever. The production on each track is amazing. The 10 month wait for this album was extremely worth-it. I would rate each new song an average of 90-98, though there are 3 songs that would get an 86-89, but only because of preference. BTS did an amazing job and I’m very proud of this project.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an absolutely stunning album. Its both dark and light at the same time. In fact, the way it deals with it’s darkness is not self-indulgent, but it’s hopeful, without being cheesy. It also is probably one of their most personal albums to date.
    I’m honestly blown away by everything - from vocals, rapping & melodies, to production & mixing. A big surprise for me was the track “Louder than bombs“, co-written by Troye Sivan. It’s probably one of the biggest departures from their sound. It felt like an early Placebo b-side. And that’s a compliment. It’s one of their darkest, but also you can’t help wanting to repeat it over and over. A+ from me!

Themes include the darker side to fame and the frustration with the actions of everyday people as well as reflecting on childhood and of course the strength of love and eternal trust. One thing the band never fails to do with albums is create absolutely unique and incredible lyrics that not only explore philosophy, history and pop culture but are crafted poetically and very moving.

    Eu posso descrever o Álbum todo como uma verdadeira obra de Arte. Não há elogios suficientes para descrever o quão orgulhosa eu estou.

    Se as pessoas deixassem o preconceito de lado e parassem para apreciar as obras dos mais variados cantores e artistas, veriam que o mundo está recheado de coisas boas, e bota boas nisso.

    Eu vejo muitos julgarem apenas por não ser um idioma "aceitável" aos seus olhos, contudo, não há um motivo justificável para isso, em todos os casos eu percebi que é o mais puro preconceito linguístico falando mais alto, somente isso.

    Eu espero que o Map of the Soul: 7 cative muitas dessas pessoas, senão todas. Elas precisam apreciar esta obra de arte e tenho certeza que irão amar, só basta aceitar a Arte.

    Meus mais sinceros parabéns ao BTS, vocês merecem tudo isso e muito mais.

    I know the negative reviews are obvious trolls since they all have a certain pattern on who they stan; its quite telling.

    Moving on from that.

    This album really spoke to me. It's their most personal album and the interlude really sets the mood of the entire album. It would've ended perfectly with we are bulletproof: the eternal.

    This is such a strong and beautiful album. I think it's the band's best work to date - maybe a career best. I've listened to several albums and normally like 5/6 songs. This one does have more songs but I can safely say I like 11 tracks on MOTS: 7. The album has me smiling to feeling nostalgic to banging my head. You can tell BTS cares about their art.

    All songs have great lyrics. They experimented with their sound (even used a choir and marching band) but pulled it off excellently. They were not afraid to weave through new territories which is a testament to them being true artists

    I absolutely love how well they expressed Jung's philosophy and how it pertained to them and their story of growth. Starting from Persona and their public image they recognize to be just one of the masks they wear to Shadow and their inner demons that they must learn to embrace and ending with Ego which shapes their identity.

    An amazing project, this creation bring us so close to their deeper sides, the lyrics are really meaningful and it's so carefully made to express their unique personalities. As a psycologhy student, I'm so happy to see that they are bringing the Jung's theorys as a concept to this album. I've never listened to something like this for years, is a real masterpiece!

    This encapsulates their emotions greatly. The way they genre hop from song to song while making consistent beats, lyrics, and flows is an incredible way to convey their feelings about how it's like to be worldwide famous artists. It's beautiful to see them at the place they are at now. They will continue to shine because they are amazing people with true talent across the board.

    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.
