    This album has everything you're looking for. It has soft to hard-hitting songs that will get you pumped up. It's interesting how songs with great diversity come together as a cohesive album.

    It’s SO good, they’re expressing themselves through 7 years together learning with each other. They’re a family and in this album we can feel it. They literally surpassed all my expectations and I love this album so much. They proved that they can do EVERY type of genres, every single song is different and their voices fits in all of them.

    o último trabalho do bts, o ep 'Map of The Soul : Persona', não me agradou tanto, por isso não criei muitas expectativas para esse novo álbum, porém eles me surpreenderam e entregaram um ótimo trabalho. mots7 aoty e não adianta chorar.

    A album full of different sounds and beats that showcases the members versatility. As always BTS show their vulnerable side with meaningful lyrics and a relatable message.

    From 'Persona' to 'Outro: Ego: the album tells a nice story to be read. It is light, sophisticated, with deep letters. Certainly the career album. BTS remains the best.

    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.
