MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA

Love all the pictures

Music: Fun, engaging, diverse even within the album, all top quality. Jimin's vocals are really incredible this comeback, and Jin is amazing me with the strength of his lines. (Kookie and Tae are also wonderful, but all 4 of them are... It's just that Jin and Jimin are killing this comeback a little bit extra). Namjoon's opening track is GREAT, a killer intro single, and the closing track is so, so cool. Yoongi and Hoseok are at the top of their game as well (but when aren't they). Would recommend Persona, Make It Right, and Dionysus as the stand-out tracks on this album (with Jemais vu being a strong contender as the ballad). Product: The album came undamaged with all goodies present and accounted for. Speaking of those goodies... I got Version 1, and let me just say that the "photo film strip" is SO PRETTY. The images are lovely, and when you hold it up to the light the images are clear and practically shining. I love the postcard (I got Jin! Yay!) and the photocard (Yoongi) is lovely. It's almost competing with the Jonghyun photocard I currently have in my phone case, and that's saying something. Honestly, in my opinion, the film strip is worth buying a physical copy in and of itself, not mentioning the truly gorgeous poster that came with and the photocard and postcard. Even the outer "dust jacket" is lovely, a solid matte pink with the detailing in silver. Great presentation as always; they sure know their product design. The Love Yourself designs were gorgeous as well. It also came with a photocard set and a sticker set which might be a bonus from the seller - I'm not sure, since it's not in the product description, but they were also lovely. If I didn't want to waste them, I'd be plastering those stickers on everything I own. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase and would recommend it to any fan of the band, and to anyone looking for some solid tunes. 10/10 would buy again.

very cute I got a too yoongi post card and pc

As with every BigHit album I've received, I am positively pleased with what I've received! The album packaging is beautiful and sturdy, both the CD and photobook fitting perfectly. I didn't get the exact version I hoped for, but there were no bad concepts this go around. The photocard (FINALLY I GOT JIN AAA) is decent quality, there are a few little bumps from where they were separated but that's fine. The postcard is super cute and the 'film strip' is very creative! I wasn't entirely sure exactly what to do with the standee, as it wasn't like any others I have. It had one small strip of bendable plastic with an adhesive strip, but the plastic is very sturdy and the adhesive works great. As stated by others, Amazon's shipping left some to be desired, as the corners of the packaging got dented and some of the extras inside got shaken loose. The music itself is, as usual, phenominal. It seems to me at least a slight departure from their usual sound, but certain songs still carry what seems to be their signature sound. The vocals have all really stepped up their game for this album! However, chances are if you're here reading this, you already know if you like or dislike BTS' music! Also, a slight warning/reminder, but ordering multiple versions from this specific page will not absolutely get you all the concepts! If you want to guarantee the chance of that, there's collections for sale on other pages!

This is definitely one of my favorite albums by BTS! I don't know how to describe the music, but it's like my dream come true because it covers all of the genres I enjoy. From rap, to soulful, to funk, and pop....I love it all. These boys are so talented, and even though the songs are a mix of Korean and English, I don't mind. Music transcends everything, even cultures and languages. You can feel the emotion behind the words, even if you don't know what they are saying. But I highly encourage you to look up English translations. The words they use are not fluff. They are poetic and meaningful. These seven young men, are not only talented at singing, but they put on an amazing show as well. They can really dance and they make you laugh and smile often. This is not just any other boy band. I assure you. Give it a try. I think you will fall in love with them and soon find yourself a member of the ARMY (that's what they call their fans).

This is the first album after the end of the Love Yourself series. It is the first album I ever preordered. I have ordered CD's in the past knowing and loving one song only to learn I only loved that one song on the CD. But knowing there are so, so many BTS songs I love regardless which member is singing I felt the risk is very low. This is the third album in a year that reached number one in sales. I loved the preview teaser mv's. I am so very happy with this album. This group can have a lifetime in music if they so desire. They are like Midas whom everything they touch or does is Gold. They are just fantastic in character, humble, kind and thoughtful. They are Great Singers and Song Writers. They are Great Dancers. They are very creative. They have great style. They are gorgeous, having all 7 been on the 100 most handsome men 2 years in a row. They are humanitarians, donating to Unicef and promoting world peace. They are World Wide Famous and they deserve every bit of recognition they have. They are good honest people and I am thrilled to be supporting them and being part of their Army!

A very different sound for BTS but i honestly cant find anything to dislike about it! It’s more bubblegum pop than they typically do, but it just FITS somehow. Dionysus is that song that makes you want to have a party and Home and Mikrokosmos makes you feel nostalgic. Jamais Vu is a ballad that was performed by Jungkook, J-Hope, and Jin, and it hits you right in the feels and makes you a good kind of sad. Boy With Luv and Make It Right both had contributions from famous american artists. BWL has Halsey singing in korean while performing choreography, and Make It Right was composed by Ed Sheeran, who also harmonizes in Korean in the background vocals. And of course, Intro: Persona is that song that makes you wanna start a riot and just jam in your car! There’s a song for everyone’s taste on this album, and that’s what makes it so amazing!

I got Version 3 on Amazon, and it came with an RM postcard and Jimin card! I’ll be honest I think 3 was my favorite because of how cute they look. Thankfully the packaging was okay, and there weren’t too many things to nitpick at (there is a blue mark on the front cover though, like someone tapped it with a ball point pen or something) but other than that it was totally worth it!! I heard they were selling it at Target. So I went to go look and sure enough there they were. They only had Version 3 and 4 available, so of course I had to buy 4; partially because I wanted a different version, but also because I heard people were getting a lot of Jungkook doubles in that Version. When I opened it I got another RM postcard and a Jungkook card!! (The cashier was super pleasant, he kept saying I hope I get the special card, which I suppose I did 😊😊😊) So then, if you’re bias is RM or you just want to collect them all (or have a Jungkook postcard...he’s my bias lol) let me know and we can setup a trade! Thank you Amazon!!

Highly recommend this album, I got version 3 and it came with a folded poster (different design for each version of the album), a photo card, another photo (in which the members signature and a small message is written on the back), a photo book (different photos for each version of the album) and a bookmark (which i adore and despite it looking like a film strip it doesn't get visible fingerprints on it easily like an actual film strip would). If anyone's curious for display purposes, the album is taller than the Love Yourself series and a lot more vibrant. I'd recommend if you're wanting to add it to a display of albums that it works more in it's own section or perhaps with the You Never Walk Alone albums, rather than the Love Yourself series or Wings. The style of it also has a slight slant to it and it opens like a book, with the actual photo book inside of it which can come out fully but the ending page tucks into the packaging so that it doesn't slip out. There's another 'The Notes' booklet inside, but unless you can read and understand Korean, you'll need to wait for online translations to know what they say. These are related to their cinematic universe which also spans across to a book and a webtoon and if you're not familiar with them, I highly recommend them. They deal with time travel and lots of angst and heavy topics and it's truly amazing. The photo card has rounded edges and is perfect to put in your phone case or to put into a folder similar to one you'd put Pokemon cards into. The photo book also has the lyrics to the songs from the album (written in Korean) as well as messages from all the BTS members in which they thank those who worked on the album them and those who supported them along the way (including the ARMY fan base!) Again, these are in Korean so if you can't read and understand Korean, you'll have to wait for online translations. Taehyung tells us that he 'purples' us (보라해요) at the end of his message and it even has a little purple heart which I think is absolutely adorable. Strongly recommend this album, both for the songs (Dionysus is a personal favourite) and for the quality of the physical product. For anyone curious, I got a J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) photo card, and a RM (Kim Namjoon) additional photo and Namjoon did a tiny doodle on the back of it which I don't really understand but think it's adorable nonetheless.

I'm super impressed by this new comeback, and could not be happier with my album! Amazon packaged it perfectly and securely, there was no damage at all to the case or photobook. I received version 1, which was the one I really wanted, and it also came with a photocard, postcard, and film strip, which surprised me (My Love Yourself:Answer album only had one photocard.) The cd ran without problem and sounded very clear; I find the cd's sound a lot better than what you get off streaming the music. Overall, just a great album and great job by Amazon. :)

BTSの曲は、全部好き。このアルバムに収録されている曲も最高です。買って良かったです。

I love it so much! the cd is perfect and everything too. it came really fast ( sweden) i thought the cd was broken but it was my dads player that was broken 😂 we'll buy a new one. I wanted the version 4 but that doesn't matter 😌

L'article est arrivé bien protégé. Je suis ravie de mon achat, l'album est vraiment top !
