    Indigo is a classical masterpiece. Right from the first track, it sings of a madness that not many understand. Finding ways to retain humane behaviour while the world is nothing less than vile. The transition from singing about madness to challenging the stillness of life, to exhaustion from continuously swimming against the current, to immersing in it so much so that you are forgetful ofIndigo is a classical masterpiece. Right from the first track, it sings of a madness that not many understand. Finding ways to retain humane behaviour while the world is nothing less than vile. The transition from singing about madness to challenging the stillness of life, to exhaustion from continuously swimming against the current, to immersing in it so much so that you are forgetful of trivial yet important things in life. With a hypnotic track it sings of the melancholy of being unable to love who you love because it's as futile as trying to hold a fish in your hand. You'll hold it, but it'll manage to run away from your reach. While it seems that life is still, it is in fact changing everyday and that's what he has skillfully conveyed in a song that transitions itself in terms of beats, melody and pace of the song. Even the sentiment. The album also gives out an essential life message about accepting and moving with time instead of only regretting about past if one wants to progress in life.

    It is an album that focuses more on life and unravelling it's mysticism. It's an album meant for people who love to unravel and decipher the lyrics and study the music. This album is meant for poetic souls and people who spend their day untangling the thoughts in their head to make sense of life. For people who enjoy understanding life. It's an album that holds the potential to be studied in music schools someday. The lyricism is top-notch, not meant for people who can't grasp the meaning behind and in between the lines.

    To be precise, it is an album for people who understand the life in it's uncertainty. RM is a genius of today's era when it comes to lyricism.    … Expand

On the other hand, some may piqued your curiosity and research its translation and then you'll be amazed by all the wordplays, context, and how much depth and care RM, as an artist who genuinely experience falling in love with music throughout his 10 year long career, put in each of his songs that he likes to call his children. Hence, it truly is a masterpiece befitting to be the archive of the 20s of the leader of the most talented, amazing, authentic, passionate, and charismatic team of artists—BTS.… Expand

    Hetic es una canción que sin dudas disfruto muchísimo cuando voy en el transporte público, es relajada pero a la vez quieres bailar al ritmo de ella.
    Sin importar qué canción enumere, ÍNDIGO es un álbum completamente maravilloso y lleno de felices y amargos recuerdos que nos harán sentir identificados, y más cerca de comprender la mente y personalidad del artista.

I've done great diving in the lyrics of every song, specifically through namjoon's own comments on them in his little documentary, and now I feel so protective of them. i think indigo deserves all the love it can get, because honestly, I think whoever hasn't listened to it and read its lyrics yet is truly missing out. what's funny is, namjoon recently said he's "off the indigo mode" already, and he's currently working on RM4, which may well be released before he goes to serve- if we're lucky. regardless, I'm really happy to see he has the drive and motivation to do music without feeling pressured. that's the last thing i'd want for him. I hope he can work at his own pace and make something he's proud of, no matter how long it takes. i for one know for a fact that I'll be around to support the hell out of it.… Expand

That being said, it is an album that can reach the hearts of people in different ages as it seeks to talk about being a human in its utmost sincerity. It draws inspirations from artists and artworks, such as the first song, Yun, being an ode that reflect the values of the late artist, Yun Hyeong Keun, an artist that RM is deeply inspired by. It speaks in the chorus, "I wanna be a human, 'fore I do some art". Another nod to art is the next song Still Life, which shows the juxtaposition of being still, but in truth, is a person who can't be defined by a locked perception. The songs have a frankness to them about being a human in a world of people, of perceptions, expectations, of social norms, among others. Since it is 'an archive of his 20s', it is an album that many young people in their 20s can relate to. It ends with a song sincerely looking back at his journey as an artist and being grounded, and the final song is a touching but soothing song that asks for you to 'no looking back, don't look back no more'. As an artist, RM has talked about genres having blurred lines in today's music, and as his album is a compact collection of stories and musings, it is also packed with different genres including RnB, city pop, hyperpop, neo soul, hip hop, rolk, and folk among others. The songs are carefully crafted and put together, creating a seamless and smooth listening experience that is wonderful for road trips, for the steady afternoon hours, the Sunday mornings, sunsets at the beach, and self-care evenings, to name a few ways to enjoy this album. It's a wonderful album that's great for any and many moods, but most of all, it's perfect to listen to as a human who seeks to rest in art.… Expand

    It is always a challenge to rate such a personal album as Indigo. Do you rate according to the impact of the song? The vibe? The production quality? When it comes to rating albums by BTS and its members, it becomes even harder as they usually bring all of those things, but rarely in a conventional way. Indigo is an intense personal story that Kim Namjoon has chosen to tell through 10It is always a challenge to rate such a personal album as Indigo. Do you rate according to the impact of the song? The vibe? The production quality? When it comes to rating albums by BTS and its members, it becomes even harder as they usually bring all of those things, but rarely in a conventional way. Indigo is an intense personal story that Kim Namjoon has chosen to tell through 10 genres and with a plethora of artists. But don’t make the mistake to think that it is not cohesive. BTS have never spoken in genre, but in stories.
    What you get with Indigo is for instance a funky Still Life feat. Anderson.Paak, the combative hip hop track All Day with Epik High’s Tablo, a philosophical neo-soul song Yun with Erykah Badu and a poppy yet intense Lonely. My personal favorite is the half-drunk demo-recording of the everchanging Change pt. 2. There are so many moods and vibes on this album, but what is left behind is a recognizable tumultuous journey through one’s 20s and from my own memories of that decade, I have BEEN each of Kim Namjoon’s songs. I look forward already to having him poetically write up the next decade for us both as well.    … Expand

    Kim Namjoon describes indigo to be an archive of his twenties and I find that all too accurate.

    it's a great album. It reflects RM's thoughts about his youth. if you listen to Lonely or Closer, you will feel sad. because these tracks reflect a departed love... but there are also tracks in the album that will tell you that everything is fine, you did everything you could, you did well. I love this album.

This album is really reflecting RM's journey which might be only his true family, his true friends, and his true ARMYs would understand. RM is so brave to release this masterpiece. His collaborations with Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak, Tablo, Kim Sawol, Mahalia, Paul Blanco, Colde, Cho Youjeen, Park Jiyoon are beyond wonderful. I'm thankful and grateful to be alive at this era. Thank you, John Eun, Pdogg, DOCSKIM, GHSTLOOP, eAeon, and Honne for being there with RM. RM asked us to use this album while taking a walk, a shower, drive, coffee break, work, dance, read a book, and when flowers bloom or fall; and my life has never been the same. Through this album and RM, I'm introduced to many new amazing things. Thank you, RM! To say that you have saved my life still sounds underrated. Let's show that life is better than death!… Expand

    Indigo is a collection of thoughts, a diary, where RM left the feelings and thoughts he had while swimming his 20s.

    I love the trilogy as a whole we've seen from Namjoon. From RM to Mono then Indigo. The growth he's shown in his solo projects is truly astounding. I'm glad he was able to express his emotions clearly along with the artists he worked with, it was truly amazing to witness. I love the message of the album and the overall flow of the album. I'm excited to see what's in store for us in the future!

    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.
