    I really enjoyed this. The solo songs were especially stand out for me, my time is probably #1 from those. I think the song i like the most (for now) is louder than bombs. That’s such a special track. Ugh goes crazy, friends is super cute and zero o’clock is pretty as hell. Im just in shock

    The album is a splendid job, you can feel the soul of the group in each song, each solo, each beat. A mix of musical genres that is pleasant to accompany and listen to, and the maturity of BTS is noticeable.

    This album has wide appeal without anything being watered down. It is hard to read some of the lyrics (most songs in Korean) due to the honesty of the members but they're just showing the struggle. They are no longer just a boy band. Black Swan, On & Ugh prove that!

Cohesion in themes/topics discussed throughout: trials & errors, past mistakes, finding value in even the darkest, most complicated parts of ourselves, realizing there is no triumph without hardship; otherwise, what's the point in living if we don't challenge ourselves and fight our demons, allowing us to appreciate life's merciful moments. Like their 2018 studio album, Love Yourself: Tear, they've once again experimented with different genres and executed each one pretty damn well. Favorites: My Time, Respect, Friends, Louder than bombs and We are Bulletproof: the Eternal. Worth mentioning, the title track ON—a perfect anthem song many K-Pop groups have attempted to create, but was lost in translation (no pun intended) Even BTS tried once with Not Today. But, now with ON, they've finally delivered a performance-worthy, larger than life title track. Bravo! Expand

    It's actually an amazing album that could easily touch the soul! The voices, the music, the production and everything is insane that's truly their best album so far.

    As a whole, the strong but not particularly unruly “7” is less sure-footed than “Love Yourself: Tear,” the group’s last full-length, from 2018, and the first K-pop album to debut atop the Billboard album chart.

    Taut and primal, “MOTS: 7” is a kind of self-referential homage. ... Each get solo turns to shine here, their collective work is what stands out.

    Persona lacked the natural fluidity and chicness of their best music. Those problems aren’t exactly mitigated here, since most of those songs appear on this album too, but within this new context, they feel like a flashback before the saga continues. Many of the new songs are better about balancing Easter eggs for day-ones with new entry points for more casual listeners.
