    Like crazy is Underrated. Being no supported by his company to buy radiostations is a strong reason of his good influence and it's something that real artists should do. The song it's really good, I would put that song in a party. The whole album is a little bit a piece of art. I like so much the hidden track it's beautiful of hear. I hope that it can be appreciated by global people.

    FACE é simplesmente MARAVILHOSO. É um álbum redondinho que conta uma história, a história de Jimin! Ele te carrega pela dor, pela negação e por fim, a libertação. Alguns diriam que ser curto, é um defeito, mas eu digo que não. Em cada música, Jimin conseguiu fechar cada arco, cada nuance e isso é esplendido. Por favor Jimin, nos abençoe com outro álbum, ok?

    Não existem palavras suficientes para descrever o álbum. Feito em apenas 10 meses, FACE demonstra a perspectiva de Park Jimin, idol sul coreano e membro do BTS, o maior grupo de kpop da atualidade e os momentos difíceis passados por ele durante a pandemia da Covid-19.

Feito em apenas 10 meses, FACE demonstra a perspectiva de Park Jimin, idol sul coreano e membro do BTS, o maior grupo de kpop da atualidade e os momentos difíceis passados por ele durante a pandemia da Covid-19.

    O nome "FACE" é propício para descrever o conteúdo do álbum: encarar o seu reflexo, estar face a face com você mesmo. As faixas seguem uma ordem cronológica e inteligente de pensamentos, emoções e sentimentos que Jimin teve durante os períodos críticos e isolados da pandemia. Ao meu ver, se você tem alguma critica negativa do álbum como um todo, pelo menos deveria tentar entender o que ele quer transmitir.

    De início "Face-off" assusta por ser forte e explícita, como um grito de desabafo. Não é a toa que Jimin chorou ao tocar seu álbum para o seu pai pela primeira vez. Jimin é um idol que sofreu e sofre constantemente, ele não sai da mente e da boca de haters que o perseguem e que parecem ter uma obsessão estranha pela sua pessoa. Em "Face-off" Jimin parece estar decepcionado, cansado de sofrer, mas ao mesmo tempo desafiando aquele que o machuca.

    Em "Interlude: Dive" temos alguns sons de ambiente do dia a dia de Jimin. Nela escutamos ele falando com os fãs, mas ao mesmo tempo, podemos escutar ele chorando ao fundo, sofrendo sozinho e isolado. Um idol que não demonstra para os seus fãs o seu "EU" interior e que quer parecer forte para todos. Temos aqui a definição de hardware e software trazida por ele nas fotos do álbum, tal como alguém que demonstra ser algo que podemos enxergar (hardware), mas que na realidade é sensível e sofre por dentro (software), formando assim suas dolorosas cicatrizes.

    Em "Alone" Jimin explora e se questiona de peito aberto sobre sua solidão.

    "Set Me Free Pt2" é insanamente intensa! Com poderosos trompetes e um glorioso coral de fundo. Aqui temos a mensagem clara de Jimin pra os seus inimigos: calem a boca, eu vou seguir em frente!

    Like Crazy tem duas versões: em coreano e inglês. Ela é a faixa principal do álbum, ao rítimo de synthpop, familiar a música Blinding Lights do The Weeknd e é misteriosamente deliciosa. Ao meu ver, durante a pandemia Jimin queria estar em um mundo, em uma realidade diferente. Um lugar que ele possa curtir e aproveitar a vida e tais experiências são "proporcionadas" pelo seu reflexo "louco". Definitivamente uma música que fica na sua cabeça por dias, merecedora da conquista do primeiro lugar na HOT 100 da Billboard.

    Existe um faixa secreta no álbum que é endereçada aos fãs. Ela é linda.

    FACE está quebrando recordes atrás de recordes.
    Vale muito a pena conferir se você ainda não fez.    … Expand

Um álbum extremamente coeso e muito bem construído, que te leva numa narrativa entre as fases do luto com cada música representando um sentimento. Face off simboliza o estado da raiva, Interlude: Dive a negação, Like Crazy a barganha, Alone a depressão e Set Me Free pt 2 a aceitação. A cada faixa Jimin constrói um universo próprio de suas experiências e te fazendo imergir nesse mundo junto com ele, sentindo e vivendo tudo que ele proporciona com esse álbum. A faixa escondida Letter, presente somente no álbum físico, ainda te traz uma bela surpresa, uma carta de agradecimento e gratidão aos fãs. Em Face é possível ver como Jimin quis construir um álbum que pudesse conversar com todos os públicos, misturando vários estilos desde synth pop a trap e até mesmo r&b. Jimin, que está creditado em todas as faixas como compositor e produtor, realmente entrega um trabalho lindo e muito bem coeso, uma verdadeira obra de arte!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good, let's get started. As a person who has followed the music world for a long time, I had in mind that Park Jimin would make an album more... "Colorful" and "sweet", which is an image strongly attached to him. When we think of Park Jimin, we think of BTS, a South Korean music group that has developed artistically and socially over the years. From their "old school" concepts, dark and gloomy images, consistent with the hip hop concept they brought, from rebellious boys who fought for the girl's love to sensitive guys who feel much more than love in their youth, with their songs from the mini album "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life 1" onwards, showing a more sensitive, reflective and dramatic side of them that we didn't know. BTS was one of the groups that surprised me the most over the years, and now, with their work as soloists, they surprised me even more.

    FACE by Jimin was a big surprise. The sweet and charismatic boy of BTS was gone, leaving room for a distressed young man, who was angry about his youthful frustrations, who was confused by the new stage of his life (during the pandemic), who was unrecognizable in his own eyes in front of the mirror, preferring to drink himself senseless rather than face his true self, who was afraid of having been alone for too long, who rebelled against his anxieties, and who later declared that his driving force was his fans, the ARMYs, who gave much love and strength. Speaking this way, we can see that Jimin's album is intertwined, it's like he's telling us a story, his story, and we just have to listen and interpret it our way.

    5 tracks in the digital discography, plus an additional one in the physical version of the album, we know Face-off, Interlude Dive, Like Crazy, Alone, Set Me Free pt 2 and Letter. Each song has its particularity, but they are interconnected, it's as if they happened in 48 hours (the story of the songs).

    Our journey begins with Face-off. A rebellious, angry and frustrated lyrics are present during the song, with its strong beat, demonstrating the adverse feelings that Jimin had for “someone”. I won't theorize too much here, but I have a strong impression that Jimin's revolt is against himself.

    In "Interlude Dive", we hear only sounds, with a few seconds of Jimin's sweet voice breaking through, as if he had arrived at his apartment, he seems to have been crying as he watched his performance at the Yet to Come In Busan concert, he went towards a cupboard, took something and some car keys, we heard the noise as he started his car, and seconds later, sounds of drink being poured and then swallowed. Where was Jimin? Why was there so much buzzing during this interlude? There are really many doubts I have about this track.

    Like Crazy. The first time I heard it, I realized how much this song has a sexy concept that involves us at first, but when I read the lyrics, I realized that the song is more melancholy than I expected. In the MV, we saw Jimin at a club, getting drunk, dancing, but he didn't seem to be really happy, as represented in the bathroom scenes where he stares at himself, as if he's feeling lost. Did he really need to drink so much and pass out so he didn't have to face his own reality? The scene of him staring at a woman so identical to him raised a question in my mind, but I think you may have already guessed. This song manages to bring so many feelings to us, both the rhythm, the lyrics and the video, without excluding the choreography that shows an unexpected and sensual side of Jimin to show his feelings.

    Alone is a ballad track, with the serene vocals of Jimin, who sang beautifully about his deepest thoughts and emotions. It's hard to imagine Jimin feeling lonely, being a pop star, the public usually only sees the lights, not the shadows. We only see the "good and promising" side of fame, and sometimes we don't realize that, behind that artist, there is a young adult of 27 years old who has dreams, plans and aspirations like anyone else.

    Set Me Free pt 2, Jimin's cry of independence, his liberation and singularities assumed in a song. In Lie, we had a Jimin who was involved in lies and felt trapped, in Serendipity, we met a romantic Jimin, who believes that good things can happen by chance. In Filter, we found out that he could be any version that would please us, but now, in Set Me Free pt 2, we just want him to be the version that pleases himself. Jimin freed himself from his fears and anguish, spread his wings (as in his photofolio) and now he can be the real Jimin, which he always wanted to be.

    And we have Letter, last. A letter of love and friendship from Jimin to his fans, who have supported him for almost a decade, who love him, who protect him, who do everything possible for this boy's complete happiness.

    FACE really showed us Jimin's faces. It was an extremely hard working album and seeing the results it is having on the charts makes me proud. Jimin really deserves all of this.    … Expand

    I currently cannot pick a favorite between Face-Off and Like Crazy. Though the other tracks aren’t far behind. I like that the English Version of Like Crazy doesn’t sound like a crappy translation. The lyrics are incredible and I find the songs very relatable (especially Alone). I am thoroughly impressed and will look forward to future releases from Jimin.

    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.
