Even if the shadow continues to scare me, I will not be afraid.

    A full album with different genres done with a touch that only BTS can do. All the songs are so good and meaningful. If you look up the English translated lyrics, it makes you realize how BTS values excellence. They could’ve stopped at the awesome melodies, but they go the extra mile with meaningful lyrics.

    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.
