    É IMPECÁVEL. Cada musica traz uma sensação diferente mais todas tem a incomum comparação de parecer uma despedida, sinto que cada musica desse álbum poderia facilmente fazer parte de um filme/serie em que vai tocando no final, é um álbum pra se cantar junto ao artista, é o filme deles.

    As someone who loves music no matter what language it's sang in I gotta admit I adore this album. While this is my first time of listening to them, this isn't my first time of hearing about them i just never paid full attention to them. I love music, and 95% of the songs I like are all in different languages worldwide with English songs being the 5%. I always see them trending on twitterAs someone who loves music no matter what language it's sang in I gotta admit I adore this album. While this is my first time of listening to them, this isn't my first time of hearing about them i just never paid full attention to them. I love music, and 95% of the songs I like are all in different languages worldwide with English songs being the 5%. I always see them trending on twitter but what really bought me here is the annoyance I'm feeling towards some Disney girlies Stans. Hating on a group you have no business with is appalling and disgusting, Artists work hard for their music, they put in efforts, time, passion and love into releasing an album for people to listen to, you can criticise without being a hater or bitter. I listened to the whole album and I loved everything about it. This album is healing, happiness, grace and a masterpiece. I'm a p!nk fan and today is my first time listening to BTS and I guess what people say is true that if you are too good you incur hatred no matter how talented you are. Geniu.com is there for a reason if really you aren't just hating for nothing. I'm so disappointed with the fact that I've always supported those Disney girlies but their fans can't do the same to another. Let me catch y'all hating on P!nk when her album comes. These boys are talented and with an album or songs as fire as these your Disney / Nickelodeon girlies wishes. For those who are here to check for reviews, I want y'all to listen to them, give them one play or two from the album and you really won't regret it. America pop isn't everything and Deeping your feet in a cold water isn't all that bad. These guys are really good, forget about what you see on twitter and follow your heart. The songs are all well written and sang. Has beautiful meaning as well. Be emotional with some songs and be hype with some as well.
    Favourite tracks so far:
    1. Ugh!
    2. My time ( I really love this so much) 3. On ( what I heard why buying coffee today) 4. Inner Child
    5.Ego ( you will smile all through)
    6. Filter
    7. Louder than bomb (is really amazing)
    8. Interlude shadow, black Swan and persona
    From someone who is just listening to them today i really can't choose because I'm conflicted. In conclusion this is a work of art by people who truly love and appreciate art. I hope to see more of your album in future and I will go start on love myself : answer after this. Thank you Mr BTSs, genius.com 10/10 for me    … Expand

    I was curious about all the hype surrounding BTS.
    I must say, I am not disappointed, the album is a mindblowing mix of multiple genres (hip hop, pop, EDM, R&B, even some... tango vibes?).
    But what stood out to me the most was definitely the lyrics. They sound really sincere and tackle some real issues.

    The only way I can describe this album is as an amazing journey, each track has it's own personality and it really shows us how talented and diverse BTS' members are, showcasing their rap and singing skills, in my opinion this is on of the few albums that has no skips. My favorite tracks were ''My time'', ''Filter'', ''Blak Swan'' and ''ON''.

    This album provides an epic story from the performance of our external personas to internal batting of our struggles and shadows to songs of friendship and celebration. In between you have songs that fill up the room with their ethereal sonic scape and hard hitting baseline.

    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.
