    Overall, it's a very cohesive album.
    In the era of singles, having this achievement must be something very well-thought so that people won't easily lose interest. It's amazing how many double entendres there are in this piece: you can interpret the "tear" as either noun, a cry from the boys or/and simultaneously a breakup, the verb tear. Whether that is a breakup in a relationship or just    Overall, it's a very cohesive album.

Whether that is a breakup in a relationship or just a breaking old personal patterns, it still represents a darker BTS, like in WINGS.
    I love how they never sugarcoat their verses and tell whatever seems the most honest thing to say in the reality we're living, which is what sets them apart from other kpop groups. Definitely worth a shot.    … Expand

    BTS 'Love Yourself: TEAR' - the best album of 2018!

    Как жаль, что расизм и узколобость мышления не позволяют некоторым людям оценивать МУЗЫКУ, ЛИРИКУ, ПОСЫЛ. Мир открыт для нового, но совковое мировосприятие сильнее.

    I think that this album is average, but it doesn't mean that I don't want to give a chance to kpop: in contrast, I know kpop too well, and I listened to BTS before they gained international populatity, before daesangs, bbmas, etc. I know that they CAN do better. I hope that someday they will put their soul into their studio albums and EPs again, just like they did before with their oldI think that this album is average, but it doesn't mean that I don't want to give a chance to kpop: in contrast, I know kpop too well, and I listened to BTS before they gained international populatity, before daesangs, bbmas, etc. I know that they CAN do better. I hope that someday they will put their soul into their studio albums and EPs again, just like they did before with their old albums and mixtapes. The title song, Fake Love, brought back that feeling, but sadly, I can't say the same about other songs, which is sad, since even b-side tracks on Love Yourself: Her were much better than these ones. LY:Tear is literally 1 great song + 10 unmemorable b-side tracks.

    And no, this is not another 'I wish they never changed': I'm happy that they changed, but now they just produce the kind of music that western market demands with simplified lyrics, which is tragic, since I always appreciated honesty of their lyrics.    … Expand

    I though that I couldn't be more surprised by BTS, they always try to innovate their repertoire with each album, but this one in particular, is similar to some of their previous works at the same time that it approaches new themes and sounds. They have stoned and refined their concept and image throughout this new era, the art of videography does not sin at any moment, like Love Youserlf:I though that I couldn't be more surprised by BTS, they always try to innovate their repertoire with each album, but this one in particular, is similar to some of their previous works at the same time that it approaches new themes and sounds. They have stoned and refined their concept and image throughout this new era, the art of videography does not sin at any moment, like Love Youserlf: Tear's lyricism, an album full of good messages, with doubled and triple understandings. The focus of rap on the album satifez enough, it has been a few ages that they have somewhat overshadowed hip hop that was always the basis for their music. But that does not mean the vocals are behind, quite the contrary, they shone in The Truth Untold, one of the album's strengths. With elements of rock-grounge, trap beats and hip hop emo, I would say that Fake Love is their best single, behind only the exciting Spring Day. Tear is loaded with different genres but somehow complement each other and dont do weak the album. The r&b featured in Love Maze, Paradise and 134340 - a bit of Jazzy too, which is new to them - is what I would say was missing from the group's latest work. Lastly, this is their best album yet, and I believe that soon we will see many positive notes from these brilliant artists.… Expand

    Not only does their album share meaningful lyrics, it has rhythm. To express sincere concepts in a rhythmical way is difficult to produce. In a time where our world needs a sense of peace, the music certainly aims to fulfill fans with joy. They deserve the oncoming recognition from all international platforms.

    Новый полноформатный альбом 'Love Yourself: TEAR' группы BTS получился гармоничным, интересным и освежающим. Если их другой полноформатник 'WINGS' можно сравнить с романом, где повествование последовательно, песни, как главы, раскрывают основной посыл альбома, то 'LY: TEAR' - сборник рассказов, разных, но очень интересных и захватывающих.

Или как корзина с фруктами - каждый трек имеет свой запах, цвет, вкус, послевкусие. Под этот альбом и грустишь, и танцуешь, и задумываешься о своей жизни. На данный момент - мой самый любимый альбом у BTS, который подарил новые разнообразные эмоции. Отмечу, что прекрасному вокалу Ким Тэхёна (a.k.a. V) уделили больше внимания, в его исполнении 'Singularity' - произведение искусства, как и видео к этой песне. Приятной неожиданностью стала баллада от DJ Steve Aoki, мастерски исполненная вокал-лайном. А реп-лайн оторвались по-полной в Outro: TEAR. Рекомендую прослушать весь альбом и насладиться эмоциями, которые он дарит.… Expand

    Meaningful lyrics, outstanding production, and a refreshing variety of genres. By far, Tear is BTS's greatest album to-date, and arguably one of the best albums to be released in the year of 2018.

    One of their most cohesive albums, Tear brings a message of reality between love just as we can find self-love after discovering it. With well-written lyrics and vocal and rap well-shown, the album showed a significant evolution of the group over time. No doubt, one of the best albums of the year so far.

    Love Yourself: Tear shows off each individual member’s qualities fairly and acts as a well-structured introduction to a wider global audience that is all too eager to pick out negatives.
