    Este fue el primer álbum de ellos que al escucharlo por primera vez dije "debo comprarmelo ya". Outro:tear no tiene sentido lo buena que es, nunca me imaginé que hobi se comiera una canción de tal manera. Euphoria es preciosa y posiblemente el mejor solo de todos sus álbumes hasta día de hoy.

    El álbum forma parte de una trilogía que toca distintos temas muy sorprendentes y que dejarán cuestionando y reflexionando sobre uno mismo; nuestras acciones, pensamientos, como nos hemos dejado cambiar por nuestro exterior, entre otras cosas.

No hay ninguna canción en este álbum que no te deje boquiabierto por lo estupendo que es.

    This is such an amazing album, it has been keeping me company since 2018 and we've been through a lot of things together... High school, university, it was always there comforting me like a good friend. Every track from singularity to tear is amazing in its own way and this is easily one of my favorite albums of all time.

    My favorite album from BTS. Every song is exciting and fresh, and lead beautifully into the next track. The lyrics, album art, and whole theme of the album also tie into the jazzy, r&b and pop instrumentals, making this album a feast for the ears, eyes, and heart. Not one skip.

    Ok, me pediram para avaliar todos os álbuns desse grupo no Metacritic, e esse é o segundo que estou avaliando, o primeiro foi Persona (que eu amei?).
    Pra ser sincero, eu gostei mais de Tear do que o anterior, gostei das baladas e dos raps, a letra de Tear tocou meu coração profundamente, irei procurar pelas apresentações dessa música. A música que são números, o que é aquilo cara, eles

    it's a perfect for me, this album is amazing. It's really cohesive and versatile. They show so much growth as an artist by exploring different sounds. Loved the message that they put in the whole album. Also, the lyrics are good especially in Tear, Fake Love and The Truth Untold and the production in on point on each track.

    Love yourself: Tear is, at the moment of writing, my favourite album of all time. I feel like the songs develop incredibly nicely with both messages and sound from the first one all the way through to the last; it's really well put-together. I love all the songs for every reason. Just a really great album.

They show you pain will only ever make you stronger and after 7 years of the music industry they obviously have went through a lot.

    Potessi darei anche più di 10, sicuramente il migliore prodotto dei BTS. L'aspetto che più spicca dell'album è la sperimentazione e la creatività di questi sette ragazzi: ogni canzone porta con sé un testo eccellente e uno stile che non troveremo nella traccia seguente. Hanno saputo rischiare e proporre un album che ancora oggi non è stato superato nel K-Pop, a mio parere.

    O álbum revela um maior questionamento sobre a pessoa que nós somos, um lado obscuro. O design do álbum em si também combinou muito com a mensagem que BTS está tentando trazer para o mundo. A faixa título "Fake Love" além de ter uma ótima harmonia das vezes, batidas viciantes e uma letra profunda foi uma ótima escolha, apesar da minha favorita do álbum ser Magic Shop, haha.

    Other that some tracks lacking flavour, this has to be of the most coherent pop albums out there, not just in Kpop. BTS has outshine themselves and has created a record that many of their contemporaries must take note. BTS will definitely be a group people will look up to for what they have achieved.

    Throughout it all, the members of BTS affect melodic sincerity, singing with intensity and melisma, rapping in tones that show their effort and strain, as if caring never went out of style.
