Map of the soul - persona (multiple languages)

"The best superhero stories are written for the whole world: They speak to both diehard fans and newcomers, tackling the human condition while throwing in nerdy references, delivering an epic experience that unifies people who might otherwise not have anything in common. BTS have already proven themselves, but on PERSONA, the band spends too much time looking back and not enough time being the K-pop superheroes the world deserves".

"Eight months on from their last album, the Bangtan Boys explore the idea of artist versus idol, roping in a couple of high-profile cameos - from Halsey to Ed Sheeran - to craft a record that sees them continuing to raise the bar".

"Med deres nye album 'Map of the Soul: Persona' tager BTS desværre deres velkendte multikulturelle pop et mere forudsigeligt sted hen. Man kan genkende tidens vestlige popluner fra Ariana Grande til Troye Sivan, og de har den vestlige sangerinde Hasley med på den ikke just uforglemmelige single 'Boy With Luv'. 'Make It Right' er et klart højdepunkt med det fængende hitlistevenlige omkvæd ... BTS er bedst, når de giver K-pop-genren et tiltrængt menneskeligt ansigt. Man kan håbe, at næste album er et oprør, der kommer hele scenen til gavn, en forløsning af menneskerne bag pengemaskinerne og en løsrivelse fra tingsliggørelsen".
