    I absolutely love this album and have had it on repeat since it came out. I love that we get to hear a vocal range we don't often get to hear from Jimin. I also love how open he was with his struggles. I think we can all relate in one way or another

    The only thing wrong about this album is that it finishes. Jimin along with his wonderful team of producers has come out with bops for his first ever album. Jimin put stories in his songs, from the feelings of confinement and despair to confidence and liberation, one can relate to as an artist and as a casual listener.

    The album is nothing short of a masterpiece. It showcases Jimin’s incredible vocal range and songwriting abilities. “Face” is Jimin’s remarkable achievement as a solo artist and a testament to his musical talent. With “Face”, Jimin proves that he is not just a member of record breaking and global sensation BTS, but a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

    This album takes listeners on a wonderfully personal journey of self discovery. Every song as an emotion and a mood that we can relate to at different times and that's what makes it a multifaceted hit that gives on giving. There's a song for every feeling from angst to love to betrayal

    There aren’t enough words to describe this album. A different side to Park Jimin was not only explored, but embraced in this work. From Face Off to Set Me Free, a raw and relatable story is presented. This album exceeded expectations with a tone and vibe only fitting Jimin.

    I wasn’t sure what to expect with this album since each of Jimins solo releases have been so different from each other, but I was pleasantly surprised and absolutely blown away.

From start to finish, you can really witness Jimins emotional journey and the ups and downs he experience to reach where he is today. I definitely wish the album had a few more songs on it though. If you take away the interlude, and Like Crazy (eng version) there really is only 4 songs on the album. The hidden track Letter definitely should’ve been included because that’s honestly my favorite song from the album, but I understand why it wasn’t. All in all, Jimin delivered a compelling story that leaves us wanting more. I cant wait to get more music from him in the future.… Expand

    Jimin's FACE resonates his deep feelings thru music. He is an amazing artist. The over-all production of this album is just great, from the melody, rhythm to Jimin's pitch - 100%

    This album is incredibly good! In many ways, FACE felt very different and very Jimin at the same time. The songs are very versatile and allowed us to hear different sides of Jimin. I feel very honoured to be able to listen to Jimin’s stories and the rawness that comes with it. I’m very happy and satisfied with this album, it was everything I expected and much more.

    Great album. It may be an EP but it has impact. Especially with the hidden track Letter on the physical album. The title track Like Crazy is one of the best pop tracks perfect for radio I've heard in a while especially being it has 2 versions including an English version to choose from and I love both versions. And Set Me Free pt.2 is like an anthem. Face-off could be a single too evenGreat album. It may be an EP but it has impact. Especially with the hidden track Letter on the physical album.

Then the release of Like Crazy felt like completely opposite emotions. Once I listened to the entire album, the journey made perfect sense. Face-off is my favorite track, hands down, my older kid prefers Set Me Free Pt. 2. I love every track, and frequently find myself singing Like Crazy. I'm so impressed by FACE. AND.... the hidden track on the phsyical album is PERFECTION.… Expand

    FACE perfectly encapsulated feelings of loss, confusion and anger in one self during times of desolation. It reflects on a period of time and the never ending cycle of self destruction that ultimately rises to an epiphany of determination and self assurance to break the cycle with Set Me Free Pt. 2. An emotional, heartbreakingly relatable album with a hopeful end. Absolutely loved it!

    Absolutely fantastic, he let us in his most inner thoughts although i'm sad he went through such a rough period and happy he overcame it, every song is a pleasure to the ears, i can’t chose a single song because they're all masterpieces and i can’t wait to hear more of him and his gorgeous voice.

    Face is a great album. It shows the struggle that Jimin went through during the pandemic. Hiw lonely he was. And I think that this albums reflects on others too. So many people can relate to Face because they went through a hard time, they felt lonely and they were alone, no one beside them to comfort them.

    While it’s a short EP, it doesn’t disappoint. If anything, he presents himself as a soloist with an unexpected sound for his high-pitched countertenor voice and very far from those earlier ballads we have heard from him.

    Balancing both his vulnerable and fiercely intense sides, he manages to reveal more of himself in 20 minutes than he has to date.

    Its six tracks wrap all too quickly, and while it was specified that Jimin doesn’t consider this a full-length project, it does leave the listener craving more music in this vein somewhere down the road — it’s worth repeating that the energy of “Face-off” is one that he should consider chasing most of all.
