    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum por inteiro é maravilhoso. Com conceitos, vocais e danças sensacionais!
    Tais como, também ele trás críticas à sociedade e não só isso, ajuda às pessoas também em seu momento mais difícil.
    Portanto, esse álbum superou todas às expectativas dos fãs(armys) e não só dos fãs.    … Expand

    As someone who loves music no matter what language it's sang in I gotta admit I adore this album. While this is my first time of listening to them, this isn't my first time of hearing about them i just never paid full attention to them. I love music, and 95% of the songs I like are all in different languages worldwide with English songs being the 5%. I always see them trending on twitterAs someone who loves music no matter what language it's sang in I gotta admit I adore this album. While this is my first time of listening to them, this isn't my first time of hearing about them i just never paid full attention to them. I love music, and 95% of the songs I like are all in different languages worldwide with English songs being the 5%. I always see them trending on twitter but what really bought me here is the annoyance I'm feeling towards some Disney girlies Stans. Hating on a group you have no business with is appalling and disgusting, Artists work hard for their music, they put in efforts, time, passion and love into releasing an album for people to listen to, you can criticise without being a hater or bitter. I listened to the whole album and I loved everything about it. This album is healing, happiness, grace and a masterpiece. I'm a p!nk fan and today is my first time listening to BTS and I guess what people say is true that if you are too good you incur hatred no matter how talented you are. Geniu.com is there for a reason if really you aren't just hating for nothing. I'm so disappointed with the fact that I've always supported those Disney girlies but their fans can't do the same to another. Let me catch y'all hating on P!nk when her album comes. These boys are talented and with an album or songs as fire as these your Disney / Nickelodeon girlies wishes. For those who are here to check for reviews, I want y'all to listen to them, give them one play or two from the album and you really won't regret it. America pop isn't everything and Deeping your feet in a cold water isn't all that bad. These guys are really good, forget about what you see on twitter and follow your heart. The songs are all well written and sang. Has beautiful meaning as well. Be emotional with some songs and be hype with some as well.
    Favourite tracks so far:
    1. Ugh!
    2. My time ( I really love this so much) 3. On ( what I heard why buying coffee today) 4. Inner Child
    5.Ego ( you will smile all through)
    6. Filter
    7. Louder than bomb (is really amazing)
    8. Interlude shadow, black Swan and persona
    From someone who is just listening to them today i really can't choose because I'm conflicted. In conclusion this is a work of art by people who truly love and appreciate art. I hope to see more of your album in future and I will go start on love myself : answer after this. Thank you Mr BTSs, genius.com 10/10 for me    … Expand

    The Jungian concept was so well planned and executed. It takes some time and dedication to understand it in all its depth,. For most people it will be just another pop album but I wish more people would make the effort to understand the meaning behind the album as a whole.

    BTS is back with an amazing genres mix album, with lyrics that makes you want to try harder than ever and makes you want to question a lot of 'whys' and never just accept what people wants you to do. It's an album full of feelings and critics, that makes you want to cry of happiness with the boys when they pass the message that they made it so far thanks to the fans

    Such a diverse and fresh album! they are talking about the shadow that comes with the fame, their passion about music and their fans with not only group songs but also solos and units too. I love BTS’ versatility and love they have, in each album they always come up with a new theme with amazing production, lyrics and choreography.

    Não tenho palavras para definir o que eu sinto quando escuto. Não tenho música favorita porque não dá pra escolher pois o albúm é a uma verdadeira obra prima. Escutem sem preconceito, leiam as traduções, pois será a melhor decisão da vida!

    This album is unique in its entirety. They make music so meaningfully and wonderful. They prove that they are not just any typical band. Once again I was delighted. I once read out that they never they disappoint and this is so real.

    "It is an impressive and exciting production . The concept is incredible and beyond what we imagined. The melody and the lyrics in sync with the dance. This album goes far beyond the kpop sense, it came to connect the world and show the group's journey of self-knowledge as an individual.

    It is incredible how unique and well thought out each song is.
    They are so very different and picking a favorite is impossible because every song evokes a different emotion and mood.

    This proposal is completely different but ad the same time you can remember how BTS can experiment with all the music genres. Filter has that Latin beat and was amazing and Inner child is just a bop

    Map of the Soul: 7 is one of the most diverse albums BTS has ever produced but at the same time it's still so BTS and that made me realize just how different they are.

    Uns dos álbuns mais incríveis que já ouvi. Cada música tem seu significado, essência e uma história a se contar. Sinto muito orgulho do grupo que mais amo, fazer uma álbum tão incrível como esse!

    BTS is so overrated. Their fans just spam views and streams which makes you wonder if the music is actually good, but it’s disappointing

    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.
