    I love the whole album. They make songs with so many genres. They never failed to amaze me by the music they make. They talk about themselves, how they struggle in the music industry, how they have their own persona, shadow and ego.

    Beautiful album, definitely one of their best. Everything is placed accordingly to formulate a wonderful and inspiring story about 7 boys who have reached the top but struggle with the aftermath of fame. Each song is perfectly intertwined with Dr. Carl Jung’s Map of the Soul which seeks for the true self. The best album of 2020.

    BTS delivered a huge array of songs in this album. Rap, ballad, pop genres are represented, with lyrics that resonate and inspire, that speak of longing and despair, that tells the haters to back the eff up and gtfo.

One of them, In a song called interlude: shadow, "The moment I'm flying high as I wished, My shadows grows in that blasting stark light." This part makes me more confident and not afraid to achieve my dreams because I feel that I am not alone, there are BTS members who feel the same way like me. Even if the shadow continues to scare me, I will not be afraid.

    BTS truly takes their artistry to the next level in this one—self-reflecting, powerful, and uplifting all at once.

    One of the best albums of 2020, just Black Swan alone deserves a Grammy. A masterpiece.

    Map of the Soul: 7 perfectly showcases BTS' ability to transcend genre. From bright pop, to rock and R&B, this album highlights the 7 years of their story: starting from the bottom in a small company, facing many barriers, before reaching as high as they are now, with the downsides that fame carries.

    With this album, it is clear the genre is BTS - no one comes close to their sound, lyrics or mastery.    … Expand

    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.
