    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though it’s an EP, it’s one of the best I’ve ever heard. Literally every song correlates to the next. From FACE OFF down to SET ME FREE pt 2. I’m literally quite impressed honestly. I only wish there was more. My favorite record on this ep is LIKE CRAZY!!!! He ate on that track. Expand

    Este álbum contiene una mezcla de ritmos y melodías que te lleva por diferentes estados de ánimo, por lo cuál, nunca te cansas de escucharlo. Me hubiera gustado que tuviera más canciones para poder disfrutar un poco más de ese tono único que tiene Jimin, pero debo reconocer que el álbum no decepciona en ningún momento. Espero seguir escuchando más de su música en el futuro.

    Face is a masterpiece.
    From start to finish, it tells a story about Jimin's struggles during the pandemic.
    He showed us his vocal abilities and more. It was emotional but strong. It will make you dance, cry, reflect on your life, gain power and just be immersed in the music and storytelling. You can easily relate to everything that he is conveying in his music. The title track, Like

    You can easily relate to everything that he is conveying in his music.
    The title track, Like Crazy, is a synth pop dance music that's simply addicting. The pre-release track, Set Me Free pt. 2 is so anthemic. It gave me goosebumps the first time I listened and watched the MV. I suggest also watching the music videos and live performances on Jimmy Fallon, KBS and SBS.
    There's also a live Jazz version of Like Crazy on Lee Mujin Service YouTube channel. It's so divine! I wish they'll release this version on streaming platforms, too. Jimin's voice is so unique and captivating. I can listen to it all day. I hope other people will give it a listen, too.
    And if you followed the whole promotions, you'll be amazed by how cohesive everything is. I love this album so much! Jimin, without intending, created the album of the year by just wanting to honestly share himself through his music. Can't get enough of Face by Jimin! I'm Like Crazy for it! :D

    Face is a non-skip album, I listen to this album from top to bottom. Each song has a different sound and emotion. And As for Jimins first solo album, I love how this is purely him and no collab from another artist. Jimin always gives something new to his audience, now I look forward to his next album.

    Brillant, absolutely brillant arrangement for each song and between songs in the FACE album is AOTY. Both eye and ear feasting MVs for Like Crazy and Set Me Free pt 2 are produced with high quality! Park Jimin’s first solo album sets a new benchmark by means of the artist truly appearing solo! A HOT100 winner for weeks if rankings starting in its 2nd week onwards are done right.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jimin was brave enough to explore different genres for each track of his first ever album and did great in every single one of them. Apart from his unique voice, what’s even more impressive is how well-thought-out the lyrics and effects are. The carnival sounds for the intro to Face-Off, the distortion in certain lyrics of Alone, the autotune in Set Me Free Pt2, the short catchy skit in the beginning of Like Crazy, and even the sequence of actions heard in Interlude: Dive. When you really analyze and set aside implicit bias or other expectations, one will realize how symbolic and innovative and intriguing this album is. Expand

Next is alone which starts off with alarm clock sound which seems mean yes he woke up from a drunken night all alone. And alone is a track which is beautifully cathartic. Then is set me free which is a very strong track of him freeing himself from everything. Lastly spoiler alert now!!! There is a fan song which is only available in cd but you can listen to it in YouTube upload..it's called letter it's the hug he gives you at the end. Honestly letter should have been in the streaming platform because it's THAT beautiful. Overall face is an impeccable album with beautiful narration Expand

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.

    FACE perfectly encapsulated feelings of loss, confusion and anger in one self during times of desolation.

    I have been waiting for Jimin' album ever since I became an army. I knew his album would be amazing. And all my expectations were fulfilled. Every single track of the album was new, fresh and different. Only thing that was different, was a full album, not a ep. I can't wait for his full album.

    Thank you jimin for showing it’s possible to make kpop music that isn’t generic and or just interpolated beats taken from already successful songs.

    I didn't expect a kpop album to be this versatile. Each song has its different color and very refreshing I might say. A bummer that it's not a full length album. I'm anticipating more

    Wow! I love every song. Although it’s only short I think that’s the beauty of this album. No filler songs every song is different & really really good. They each have a different sound & mood.

I also like the album tells a story albeit a little sad in Alone. I actually did have tears listening after finding out it’s how this Guy dealt with the pandemic. I could relate I guess so I paid more attention to the lyrics & wow! He nailed it! The vocals soothes me at times & other times I wanted to jump on the lounge fist pumping the air. Great album. Set me free is like an anthem & one of those songs timeless songs like Stairway to Heaven & Bohemian Rhapsody. Face Off has a smooth sexy sound while Alone made me cry. I get a feeling Like Crazy was made for radio & the charts. Hope it does well cause this guy deserves to be recognised for this album it’s well put together & flows from song to song. I have listened easily more than once & can see it being played daily by me. I guess by now you can tell I really love it. The surprise is I didn’t think I would cause I don’t know the singer or kpop so when a friend suggested I listen I kept putting it off. Big mistake! I learned a lesson to listen first then form an opinion cause I missed a week or 2 I could’ve been listening to this. Expand

    This album is my new favorite. There's no single song that skippable, like, I'm drowned to those songs. It feels like the singer wanted to tell a story. I felt disappointment, denial, anger, bargaining, sadness/depression, and also acceptance there. The whole five stages of grieves in one album. Yhe singer' boice have a great range!

    FACE by Jimin is a masterpiece! His vocal tone is so unique in every one of the songs, from powerful to heartbreaking, to alluring. It's an album that you must listen to from the beginning to the end, in order to feel the full cycle of emotions that Jimin experienced and overcame. Each song is relatable and so powerful.

Set Me Free Pt.2 liberated me and my determination to fight for what matters in my life. Alone brought tears to me on the first listen. Like Crazy is so alluring and in the words of my husband 'a genius of a song', so many interpretations and so deep yet relatable. BTS Jimin delivered a work of art that our family will treasure for years to come. Lyric translations are available in every language, never let that stop you from listening to FACE or any of the BTS albums. The message and lyrics are true art and from their own experiences. It truly defines the meaning of music for the healing. Expand

    FACE is a journey into the psyche of a superstar forced to confront himself when trapped in the pandemic. It is dizzying cycle of self-doubt, insecurities and personal torments ending in self discovery, acceptance and triumph.

It is dizzying cycle of self-doubt, insecurities and personal torments ending in self discovery, acceptance and triumph. The album is cohesive, better listened to from start to finish so as to have an understanding of the 5 stages of grief the artist went through to be finally set free. Yet every song is beautiful and compelling on its own.

    It starts off with Face Off, a self deprecating lullaby which questions ones part in the mess that they are in. The artist faces off with himself and he doesn't like what he sees.

    Interlude: Dive plunges headlong into an illusory state where he gets caught up in his reveries of the past, trying to hold on the adulation of the crown, but going home spent, drowning in the deafening silence.

    Like Crazy takes us into a psychedelic dream of yearning to be true to oneself. The addicting synth pop arrangement gives you an illusion of being caught up in euphoria of the moment while slowly melting into dysphoria

    Alone takes you to a dizzying ride and feeling trapped in a merry go round sans the merry. Set Me Free Pt.2 is an anthem that speaks of triumph over self. It opens with the victorious chanting of the choir and the blaring of the trumpets signaling the fall of Jerichos walls, giving you a bittersweet feeling of liberation. The hard hitting rap, the cussing are very uncharacteristic of the artist Jimin and yet you want to give him a rousing applause for finally breaking free from the mold of being a kpop idol.

    Letter is the twin of Promise, but better - calming, sweet, makes you want to walk on the beach, watch the sunset and fall in love. Every person struggling needs to be inspired by this album - FACE. We all have a JIMIN in us and he articulated perfectly well our inner struggles and victories. Let the whole world hear this album.

    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.
