    With the presence of Greek myths and exploitation of psychoanalysis through Jung, BTS shows what is lacking in the pop artists of today: identity. A cohesive album, with music gender variability and production, shows why they are one of the biggest groups nowadays.

    The diversity in this is insane and they manage to pull off every genre. Particularly enjoyed the connections to both Carl Jung's work AND their own discography.

    A modern pop masterpiece.
    One of the things that interested me the most when I've first listened to BTS was their ability to go through different music genres like pop, hip-hop, and even rock. And that's exactly what they did with this album.

    I haven't seen and pop album with this versatility in a long time. Most pop artists these days focus in making hit songs and use trending music styles but forget about the essence, lyrics and share a message with their fans and the gp.
    BTS does that perfectly with this album. They deliver a powerful message of love and debate about their own history and achievments with sincerity and a open heart and with amazing music productions.
    I am really excited to see more from them and from this new era.    … Expand

    The album is the most organic of the group, something direct about knowing who you are and what you want. Knowing you need something and knowing you need to put things aside (like pride) to ask for help. The artistic quality is surprising and even if I was not a fan, I would become this album and surely it would be possible to feel safer about it when analyzing the entire discography of the group.

    What surprised me the most about this album was the depth of its lyrics, some bordering a sense of melancholy, going along with catchy and happy pop/R&B melodies. Very nice to see artists with such compromise of bringing something new and so experimental.

    Their just keeps getting better. The very interesting addition of Greek mythology and Jungianism makes the album and its lyrics much more fascinating.
    The marriage of rap and vocals continue to impress the listener.

    BTS' body of work has a psychological and self-care meaning. The production has occidental influence, for example in Mikrokosmos and HOME can be identified the One Direction and Bruno Mars "style" respectively. The lyrics are well structured, except Dionysus, in which has demonstrated how forced and stiff an outro song can be. 69/100

Reason? My connection to MOTS:Persona is at a level where words stop being an accurate medium of expression. Corny and pretentious as it may sound, I would scream from the rooftops if I could about how much JOY this album brings to me at a time when I need this lift the most. The lyrics and melodies of Persona read like a personal letter from BTS to their fans, a letter that asks us how we are doing as it reminisces our shared journey through some of the toughest roadways. Definitely my favourite BTS album seeing as how each new replay seems like the first one and is just as delightful as the previous round. Boy With Luv is the perfect title track for this season and brings me so much childlike-joy - something that's hard to come by these days. Great job Bangtan!

    Once again, BTS delivers a master class on how to make state-of-the-art pop music. Even at its less-engaging moments, the album sets a lofty standard for the rest of the pop industry - challenging all others to keep up. If a Renaissance in pop music is happening, they’re at the forefront of it.

    An interesting take on the Jungian theory that inspired it. Their most mature sound to date when it come to melodies and composition. They also were not afraid to experiment as seen in Dionysus a track inspired by Seo Taiji's music.

Be engaged with the music, find that entry to the music, regardless of the genre/style. It's a problem that people have when criticizing songs. I also want to say that the choruses are the tipping point. If the choruses doesn't have its charm to make someone engaged, then the song needs improvement. Each song on this album actually has its own way to draw in a listener. There's a simple method to enjoy music as music. Expect BTS to grow on their music overtime, as this is just the intro.

Even if you don't understand Korean lyrics, the music production of each song effectively conveys the message. And if you delve into the meaning behind the lyrics, you'll find beautiful metaphors.

    While making a record that is purely dedicated to their fans, BTS may have lacked the charisma and flavour that made Love Yourself: Tear an extremely great pop record. There are some tracks that showcase their performances but this is probably one of their weakest records to date.

    AVOID TRACKS: Mikrocosmos

    The album brings a milestone in K-pop history, but in its basic sound sins for having average songs, including on its main single. Sound comes to be of large and small peaks, but it is not enough to be something unpleasant, since its production and composition becomes totally spectacular and great that draws attention.

    Musicas inspiradoras, letras bem trabalhadas e boa produção oudiovisual, além de entregar muitos mais do que só um pacote de músicas, mas um compilado de sentimentos e histórias vividas que incentivam os fãns a continuar e valorizar todos os pequenos detalhes do processo para encontrar e aceitar a si mesmo.

    Just right. Everything is so good. The range BTS serves is just awesome. From the Hiphop rap 'intro:persona' to rock styme Dionysus this a serve. You just need to open your mind.

    This EP by the well-known Korean boyband makes me believe they were stuck in a creative rut.

    Al menos deberian haber tenido mas creatividad tomando en cuenta la manada de escritores y productores que juntaron para este album, mas predecible, aburrido y sin chiste no pudo ser.

    Ok I tried to listen to this album, but it’s not my vibe. I tried to listen to it again and the same happened. really good lyrics but with a messy production and arrangements

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An EP with no skips, every song has it's own color, very mature yet bright side of BTS. RM really stands out the intro: persona, HOME is my favorite song, Jimin's voice is a breath of fresh air. Jungkook's vocals always on point.… Expand

    Map Of The Soul: Persona is more Pop-orientated than their previous projects, what came out of this one great song after the other.

    uno dei loro album migliori. con ogni comeback dimostrano sempre più la loro professionalità, il loro duro lavoro e tutto l'amore che mettono per rilasciare qualcosa di concreto. ottimo album! si meritano davvero tutto questo successo ed ogni volta superano sempre il limite con canzoni straordinarie.

    Uma incrível reflexão sobre a identidade do grupo, sua relação com os fãs, com a fama e principalmente consigo mesmos. O EP segue uma linha clara: baseados no conceitos psicanalíticos de Carl Jung, BTS trabalha sua Persona - a maneira como eles se expõe ao mundo - de forma honesta e inspiradora .

    A good album but after the masterpiece that is Tear, this album doesn’t compare. Sonically it’s good but not as cohesive as Tear. The production on this album is amazing as usual and they really stepped it up with the vocals. The standout track on this album is definitely the old school r&b infused song HOME.

    It's an album full of love. All the songs are so pretty and have a cheerful and energetic vibe. However, through the album, they included lots of meaningful messages and had deep theories. I really enjoyed it. Tysm

    The album is amazing. The songs are all bops and the themes of every song are interesting and really give you something to think or introduce you to something new to learn. BTS did their magic again and I'm so grateful I found them. They make my live a lot better and kinda give it purpose. And they help me so much

    The EP moves easily through different spheres of young love, young fame and young ambition, all of it audible through coruscating backgrounds and intense vocal deliveries that channel the high-running tensions of technicolor teenage drama.

    A valiant and partly successful attempt from K-pop’s biggest band to move forward in their music. While they undeniably remain a success, the recycled sonics and multiple references to past music makes it hard for old listeners to let go of past glory and for the new to connect with their current music.

    Map of the Soul: Persona is a bold, if tempered, call to Western media.
