    Conheci o BTS esse ano, e realmente os cara não passam despercebidos. Esse é o primeiro álbum deles que escuto inteiro e não posso deixar de destacar a track "Black Swan", a dança e a letra tudo parece se encaixar perfeitamente e quando você menos percebe ta escutando pela décima vez!

    Knowing these artists history and listening to the album, you can experience everything they’ve been through and shared with their fans. Even though they’re 7 members, they still manage to portrait individual struggles, styles and sentiment with each solo. It’s a masterpiece

    Siempre me ha gustado que BTS no tenga miedo de combinar distintos géneros en un álbum, así que este último realmente lo disfruté. Las letras esta vez no se enfocaron en algo que tuviese un gran impacto general, sino que contaron los problemas que enfrentaron como artistas durante estos 7 años. La producción también es muy buena, quizá la mejor de todos sus álbumes.

    Honestly one of the most diverse and healing albums I've ever listened too. BTS are true musicians with awesome lyrics and their own distinctive style. Map of the Soul 7 consists of dark and also a lot of uplifting songs. My favorites are: Black Swan, Moon, Ego and We are bulletproof: the eternal.

    This is their best album yet. No skip songs (except The One. you know which one. we won't talk about her.) and as usual awesome beats, a wide range of songs with beautiful singing, the best rap, and meaningful lyrics. BTS bats it out of the park every time.

    El álbum logra retractar la esencia de cada uno de los miembros y su capacidad lírica,, abordan temas del amor propio y la superación, pero también de la crueldad de la vida desde su punto de vista. No es algo común en un álbum de este tipo, lo que lo hace más valioso a la vista del espectador.

    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.
