For a pop band to display such thematic consistency, depth, and maturity is a wonder, making Love Yourself: Answer BTS' most definitive statement to date and a snapshot of the group at the top of its game.

With so many records previously broken, this new release was one with high expectations attached, and this masterful compilation which perfectly pays homage to previous releases and simultaneously moves the journey of BTS into a new era, stands out as magnum opus from a group that is ready to scale new heights.

Love Yourself 結 'Answer'.

A detrimentally common problem with every BTS release under the sun, whether bite-sized, perfectly-paced, or hour-long, is that the project's focal story or narrative takes a backseat for the sake of variety. And when I say every BTS release, I mean EVERY one of them (besides BE, but 🤫).

You should love yourself NOW! ⛈️♥️

LOVE YOURSELF 結 'Answer' wraps up BTS' LOVE YOURSELF era, placing Her and Tear in the middle of its 4-part storyline, now introduced by Wonder and concluded by Answer. And there's no review that sums this release up better than @reaIreaIweaseI's – the compilation's first disc minimizes the clutter of Her and Tear, making for a concise and consistent first disc that sums up each part's themes really ... read more
