    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been listening to albums from various languages of various genres and cultures. they're yet to surpass the sheer excellency indigo shows. You have to be an ARTIST not just a performer to be able to flip the genres and play with them with each and every song and make the features the perfect fit. RM's incredible understanding of music, human nature and art amongst a million other factors definitely made this a once in a life time album. In a time and era where 2 or 2:30 min long songs are reigning based off of tiktok virality, indigo is a perfect blow to all the fakeness in the music industry. Also this man is a poet. Lyrics are anything but life changing. Hats off to RM… Expand

    Indigo is a beautiful multi-genre album. Kim Namjoon also known as RM of BTS delves into his inner thoughts and shares them beautifully in this album while experimenting with new genres. The album is a work of art perfect for a walk, a coffee break, a ride on the train, while reading a book. enjoy

    INDIGO album by RM is beautiful, inspiring, nostalgic, and mesmerizing. This is a no-skip album. All tracks weave together - all 10 tracks even if the sound/genre is varying.

If you really listen to and know BTS, know the members - they are very consistent to their sincerity with what they wanted to convey to their audience, to their fans - ARMY. They love music, truly, and they work hard for it. My favorite track on INDIGO album is Wild Flower. Its a powerful song. And imagine the blend of Youjeen's voice. I felt like all my worries and emotions exploded so bright in the sky. Wild Flower is magical. I love all the tracks but if I will choose my favorite - it's Wild Flower. I am still on a mission to understand INDIGO album. We know Namjoon. Everything has a reason why it's there. Plus, this is his record like for 3-4yrs right? It will take time to digest all of this. All in all, on my 1st, listen and stream - INDIGO is wonderful. Magnificent! Thank you Namjoon!… Expand

    A great album, and not just for K-music lovers. It has a wide range in genres (pop, hiphop, rap, R’n’B, and more) but is still a very cohesive album. Truly one of a kind!

    Considero que vale totalmente escuchar el álbum de principio a fin, posteriormente leer las traducciones de las letras de cada canción es lo que termina de cerrar el significado que creo que el artista intenta transmitir, se ve que es uno de los pocos artistas que hace música valga la redundancia a partir del "arte"

    Indigo is a lovely journey from beginning to end. In the streaming platforms there is no option to randomize the songs in the album, and the artist's purpose with this is to take us on a journey of emotions. This album features many artists that shows RM's different sides and talents. I love this album very much, and it accompanies me during my days.

    This album is a beautiful story from start to finish. RM takes you on a journey through his 20s, and each song reflects a new piece of himself. My favourite track is All Day, which he performs with Tablo from Epik High, one of his heroes. The title track Wildflower is heart-wrenching and empowering at the same time. I highly recommend this album.

    This is the most musically complete album from start to finish that I have ever heard. There is absolutely nothing lacking. RM's lyricism is incredible. The production, the composition, the rapping, the vocals, the way the whole album flows, it is all perfect.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a long-awaited album, and I can safely say that the wait was worth it. Arranged in this way, the album suggests an extraordinary journey to the deep emotions of the soul. Self-knowledge, admitting mistakes, and achieving victories. RM has done a great job. I see quite a few people have decided to give 0, 3, and 6 ratings, with the comments suggesting that these people haven't listened to the album at all and are here to hate. If they had listened to this album and understood the words with which RM pours out his soul, they would be ashamed of their assessment and behavior.… Expand

    A masterpiece of an album.
    Namjoon explores his 20s through music that spaces in different genres, not afraid of going in search do his sound instead of what's trending. The choice to have longs songs in a time where TikTok dictates the rules is as brave as expected by a man of his intelligence. The collaborations are spot on, you can actually understand why he went in search of those    A masterpiece of an album.

    An archive of his 20's a gift to a generation of ARMYs that have grown up along with him. It's nice to know we're not alone in our feelings and even with all his talent he is human just like us. Thankfully we have Dynamite in our DNA ;)

    It’s too early to tell if the record will help the BTS leader achieve his goal of creating something truly timeless but, in this moment, ‘Indigo’ feels like a masterpiece with the potential to be remembered as a classic.

    Some moments fall flat – Lonely is cloying, paint-by-numbers EDM-pop that doesn’t fully land. Still, Indigo is a polished collection that spans both pop and rap with confidence.
