    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think that this album really showed their growth as artists. It’s a bit more mature but not as dark as it seems.each member has a story to tell about their experience of fame and the the hardships they endure while becoming international record breaking super stars. My personal favourite is “UGH” by The BTS Rap line (RM,J-Hope, and SUGA) in this song they diss their haters by comparing them to upper class people who look down on those who do not conform to society’s norms .Those people make the “ugh” noise when look down on others. This song is kind of like another way of calling people who don’t understand/ like them “boomers “ . The beat from this song goes HARD and so does their flow and genius word play.this song is quite different from the others on the album which have a softer more cheerful vibe. This album has many genres like trap, pop hiphop and many more and it manages to make them all work . Great job BTS … Expand

A diverse album with futuristic production. This project overall is a rollercoaster ride! Have fun listening to it. The title of the album is exactly what it is. It is the “map” to your “soul”!… Expand

    As músicas ficaram maravilhosas, é incrível como o BTS consegue trazer sempre coisas novas, eles nunca ficam na zona de conforto, e isso é incrível, porque faz com que os fãs (e outras pessoas) conheçam estilos diferentes de músicas.
    Esse sem dúvida é um dos melhores álbuns deles.

This album is very wonderful, all the songs have a special feeling that touches the soul of those who listen, bringing a set of varied emotions and is even more special for being released in the year that BTS turns 7 years old, I'm sure the guys worked hard to bring Map Of The Soul 7 to us. Thank you… Expand

    Music after music, the album is perfect. I was not looking forward to it and it was a delightful surprise to have the honor of enjoying this album so full of strength and feelings.
    I want to highlight the vocal line solos: my time, sung by jungkook, is undoubtedly the solo with the greatest potential and best worked, Jimin's Filter is the most captivating of the album, a totally immersive song. Inner Child is art. Moon? Unlike everything that Jin brought, giving a refreshing air to the music.    … Expand

    BTS' music journey is always amazing to see but with Map of the Soul: 7 bangtan have truly outdone themselves in the best way possible. I personally thought they won't be able to top Love Yourself:Tear but this album is perhaps one of their most diverse and fantastic albums to date

    Álbum super bem feito, músicas impecáveis com letra e produção diferentes e únicas. Obs:Deve ser muito ruim ser Haters do BTS e não poder falar mal de verdade do trabalho deles, não sou fã deles mas o álbum é excelente, reconhecem um trabalho digno.

    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.
