    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent album, a great eclectic mix of 90s hip-hop, with excellent production. This is a departure from what BTS fans know of JHope and it was a success. This is the TRUE JHope and the new fans acquired as a result of this album PROVES it's success. JHope is out of the box and he is never turning back… Expand

    Surprisingly a different type of album. Love the message and fusion blend of hip hop and popular music. Intro gives a good insight of the beginning of j-hope. The outcome is a masterpiece album.

    This is the album that J-hope decided to show various sides of himself. It's very different and a good different for me. It's hard with rock elements, dark showing off a different personality other than the bright sunshine we're used to. He talks about his hard work, critics and people who have doubted him, I recommend giving it a listen.

    La verdad al escuchar More, que salió antes, me quedé sin palabras porque era totalmente diferente a sus mixtapes y a su estilo. Es una persona muy versátil y que sin duda no tiene miedo a experimentar, en mi opinión el álbum completo merece más reconocimiento del que tiene!

    I still listen to this album daily and for me this is a no skip album. The only knock I have is that I want a few of those songs to last a little longer. The lyrics are deep and self reflective. The sound throughout the album is consistent with the level of respect j-hope has toward old school and golden age hip hop for inspiring his dance and his writing. Love it!!

    The way J-Hope managed to bring together so many styles and genres and blend them perfectly is something only he can do. The old-school beats and vibe of the album is absolutely fantastic, which doesn't sound just a copy from the past but giving the old sound a new face.
    Wonderful album that will be listened to and loved for many years to come!

    If I could rate this higher than 10. From the lyrics to the production, the story has been clearly told. His lyricism got the praise from an awarded lyricist in Korea. The flow from one song to another is smoother than a baby's skin :)

All the feelings, wishes and dreams are getting out of the box to face reality and give an introspective and more agressive and mature vision about identity, ambition, future and what we should pursue as individuals to reach the true hope world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jack In The Box is one heck of a ride, tbh!
    Who would've thought that songs with so much angst like MORE & ARSON would come from the well-known sunshiny BTS member, j-hope?!?

    It really is a "Pandora's box" that once you listen to the first track, you can't & wouldn't stop listening 'til the end (chronologically) — as it paints an emotionally-driven rollercoaster that will peak your curiosity.

    Is this j-hope's (or should we say Jay's) rebellion against being always boxed into the cookie-cutter notion of what a typical K-Pop idol is?

    Or is this a personal catharsis that he was brave enough to share, despite it being extremely darker than the music we typically get from him?

    You'd be the judge. But just a friendly reminder...

    Better buckle up 'cause this album's one heck of an eccentric adventure that you shouldn't sleep on!    … Expand

    I'd been a pretty casual but still interested listener of both BTS and J-Hope before this, but I was still pretty surprised to discover this album & all the thought out details that went into it ! Honestly this has been my best album of 2022.

Honestly this has been my best album of 2022. I think as a whole it's extremely high quality & very creative, it's made me curious to understand how each layer of music/instrumentals and vocals has been composed and assembled, I'd recommend digging into it to hear all the little details honestly, it's a treat ! J-hope's voice is so unique and intricate, especially in Jack in the Box, I felt he truly used it as an instrument full of manyyy different sounds, textures, and promises, but I'd like to really applaud the emotion in his voice & ways of using it, at no point at all does it feel "forced", awkward or unnatural.

    The lyrics felt very sincere, and actually pretty deep, I could relate to them a lot, not always because they reflect my own experiences but mostly because they feel very sincere. To me it felt like J-Hope as a person & an artist truly wants to engage with the world, not just live in it, but understand it deeply, and that's something I totally understand and found beautiful to write about in such a personal release. It's amazing to see lyrics that aren't just generic, both in their themes and actual phrasing, words, and metaphors, he knows how to bring creativity to his service ! Overall this is a no-skip album, and each song will be your favorite at some point or another I believe. The one I keep digging into relentlessly is MORE, but thats because I realllyyy love those guitars and the chorus and drums are just too delicious to not want to bop your head and shout

    Anyways ! I really recommend Jack In The Box to people who love music, especially if you're a punkhead, I think you'll find a lot of personnality, energy & heart poured into it, and also it really makes you wanna get out of your chair/head and just go to a concert & rock out, as a whole !    … Expand

    I love this album, after his mixtape Hope World I was waiting excited for his next project and he did not disappoint. I love the 90s references, it feels so genuine how he showed his love and respect for the music he grew up dancing and listening to. My favorites tracks are What If, Equal Sign, Future and Pandora´s box.

    Amazing album, it really showed what j-hope can do as a soloist. He really did something different and took risks with his debut album. Sonically, it's well produced and brings back the old hip-hop. The samples are legendary and we can see j-hope's current emotions through his awesome lyrics.

    Jack in the box es un increible album. Cada canción es tan especial. Y es aun mas espcial cuando se presento en lollapalooza. Arson es mi cancion favorita. Este album esta lleno de él de sus pensamientos, pensar en la liberacion y plasmar sus emociones en cada cancion. Lo recomiendo muchísimo.

    “Jack in the box” showcases J-hope’s dynamic rapping and songwriting skills. The album is a testament of J-hope’s musical talent and versatility. It proves that he is not just a member of BTs but a talented musician in his own right.

    A brilliant old-school hiphop album recommended by the infamous critic Anthony Fantano, aka the Needledrop, even to kpop or bts haters. I think that says a lot and I could not agree more. Give it a try.

    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.”
