Este álbum contiene no sólo un sonido nuevo y único a través de mezclas del hiphop de antes de los 200, sino que es capaz de producir una sensación tan genial, cada vez que lo escucho. Amo este álbum, aunque haya sido estrenado el año pasado, no es música que pueda pasar de moda, porque sus ritmos y letras son permanentes. Sus letras y el crecimiento del compositor, para mí son un consuelo, de que todos somos iguales, tenemos los mismos conflictos o miedos, las mismas incertidumbres y certezas. A través de su relato reconforta mi alma y eso no cualquier álbum lo produce, sino que un álbum que fue hecho desde la sinceridad como es Jack in the box. Gracias j-hope por tremenda joya! Expand

    Amazing album, both promoted songs, Arson and More sound great. From the b-sides, I personally really enjoyed Stop and Future, while Safety Zone struck an emotional chords.

    Este álbum no tiene ningún “skip”, me encanta escucharlo de inicio a fin, para ser sincera mi canción favorita y la que más me sorprendió fue “What if…” pero siempre me gusta escuchar “Equal Sign =“ a la gente que conozco como recomendación, ¡y siempre a todos les gusta! muy buen álbum, es diferente a sus anteriores mixtapes, pero toda su discografía es muy buena.

    Despite what troll reviews are saying, this was a fresh album and I loved each song, particularly 'Equal Sign', 'Arson', and 'Future'. Not only does the album carry good and personal messages, it's sure to get you up and moving, whether it's to jam out or to give you motivation to be productive! I love that it's so different and not at all what was expected from him (in a good way).

    I've been an ARMY for about 3 years now, I can say I've more than anticipating the members' solo releases; this truly did not disappoint (:

    Whether the music on Jack in the Box suits your taste or not, it’s hard to dismiss this album as an artistic statement rather than just chapter 1/7 of BTS proving they can also make money in ways beyond official group releases.

    The artist born Jung Ho-seok delivers emotional depth and irresistible energy. Backed by rowdy production, his aggression, raspy delivery, and tongue-twisting bars take center stage, showcasing the rap-focused perspective that he brings to the BTS formula.

    There’s an excellent three track run from “What if…,” an energetic song that samples Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” into mid-tempo standout “Safety Zone” before a touch of Hope World familiarity returns in the optimistic “Future.”
