    Map Of The Soul : 7 truly a masterpiece among all BTS album. This album so special because it's significant their 7 year's in music career. All the tracks in this album absolutely my type. Black Swan and ON stood out the most. Art contemporary dance and marching band absolutely mind blowing! Also this album already sold over 1 million units in US alone without bundles. I really respect them.

    I'm amazed at how they embrace a lot of genres in one album and made it blend together so well, the production incorporates various styles. Lyrically, this album touches upon themes of reflection, introspection and self-acceptance, " When you don't know where to go, I think the best way is to walk down the road you have been walking on.

    Best album. Listen without prejudice. Every song has a beautiful meaning. The day yall stop bopping one meaning line throughout the whole chorus, then you will be able to enjoy music truly. Read the lyrics and enjoy the melodies. Hating on them without any reason, wont give you a career.

None of these songs are similar in any way and yet somehow it all sounds so cohesive. The singers of the group truly surpassed their own limits, proving they are incredibly skilled and can sound good in any genre. The rappers are consistent in their powerful delivery, great flow and impressive lyrics, and even they sound better than how they did on their last full album, which I didn’t think was possible. The album offers a wide range of songs and genres, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with at least one track. Its musical progression is amazing as well, taking you on a journey from start to finish. You think you’re in for a dark and depressing album when Interlude: Shadow kicks in, and then ON starts playing, reminding you to keep fighting no matter how strong the pain is, showing you how close you are to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The end of the album is hopeful, joyful, and bound to put a smile on your face, and the outro is simply brilliant. They couldn’t have picked a better member than J-Hope to sing such a fun and upbeat track. Overall, they’ve exceeded my expectations again, when I honestly didn’t think they could ever top “Love yourself: Tear” (Outro: Tear being one of my favorite songs of all time). Fav tracks: Boy With Luv, Black Swan, My Time, UGH!, Friends, Moon, Outro:Ego. Expand

They talk about the meaning of music in their lives and how they express their feelings and turn them to pieces of arts . they also get into the shadow theory in the map of the soul and how their persona and shadow are there to compliment each other not take over one another. this album contains solos from each member and a song that is so personal on so many levels for only BTS and ARMY , their loyal fandom that has been there for them since day 1 and keep getting bigger and stronger each day with so much love and care to give for the members . and the beautiful thing in this ,is that it is mutual .

This album contains heartfelt lyrics which exceptionally displays the love these artists have for their craft and the battles they face due to their worldwide popularity shown in songs like Black Swan, Shadow and My Time. They also use this album to connect with their fans on even higher levels than they had done before with tracks like We are BulletProof: The Eternal truly expressing how important their fans are to them and also ON, a anthem preaching about not giving up but instead accepting the pain the world brings upon each and everyone of us and growing stronger because of it. Overall, this album is a huge accomplishment further establishing BTS as not only one of the biggest and most influential acts on the music scene right now but perhaps of all time.

    I think this album has the best structure and most interesting one of all BTS albums. It's an album that explores BTS journey and artistic side using some the archetypes of the Map of the Soul of Gustav Carl Jung (persona, shadow and ego).

    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.
