    Good for you boys and girls who love them. But this is getting out of control. Their music is nowhere near " good". It's outdated and boring. Ok..they are definitely great entertainers but this is ruining music as art. Choreography and music videos can't justify music.

    I rated this album months ago and I wanted to rate it higher but when I saw @rmys efforts to make Plastic Hearts scores down I won't change it. The worst Fandom ever exists

    I have never listened to even a snippet of a song by a male group before this endeavor, so I guess I wasn't missing out on anything.

    Dynamite was OK but so overplayed that it actually makes me wanna vomit. It doesn't fit the album at all, it just feels like the 'hit single' put in the tracklist to sell album units...

    Músicas muitas das vezes um pouco parecidas, eles praticamente fizeram o álbum pra quererem hitar, mas faltou conceito

    It is definitely not the best of South Koreans, but it shows the strength of a marketing focused on young people and deserves to be highlighted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its the most mediocre album I've ever heard. There is no cohesion, or any connected message just basic lyrics with instrumentals and their weak vocals... Expand

    MUITO RUIM! O som desses moços sao pavorosos e muito poluidos. Letras nada profundas e vozes fracas fazem dele ainda pior.

    I don't like the simple music, they have had better songs but this album is just not it

    Arte de combinar los sonidos en una secuencia temporal atendiendo a las leyes de la armonía, la melodía y el ritmo, o de producirlos con instrumentos musicales.

    BTS are the only artists who have all the human emotions on an album. Emphasis for Life Goes On, which if it could be described would be like a strange but painful sensation in the chest for wanting the unknown as if it were somehow familiar to your soul. It is as if on hearing, the stranger seemed familiar to you and you can only wish to have him back, something you have never had before.

    Even if its a short release, 6 new songs, 1 skit and our already kown Dynamite, BE is great. My faves are Blue & Gray and Dis-ease. Congrats to the boys for this work!

    Uma das melhores obras deles, sempre conseguem se superar e é incrível ver a evolução desde o primeiro álbum até agora com BE

    Pretty boring album if you ask me, i’ve seen their ost music and this doesn’t compare to the level of artistry they’ve had in the past, it sounds like they just put a bunch of scraped songs in to one album and called it a day.

    The worst BTS album. I can't see anything new in this album. I heard this 100 times in previous BTS albums

    This is a mistake in many ways. It's generic in the worst sense and the songs don't convey a message. They are just men without voices full of vocal effects that give you a headache.

    Very boring songs. It’s a boy band made for midia, no authentic at all.....

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Los ritmos son muy repetitivos, en cada canción hablan de lo mismo. Necesitan muchos compositores para una canción, cuando deberían aventurarse solo los miembro del grupo en la composición. Expand

    BE may be the most on-brand album BTS has ever made, recognizing hardship while offering healing and hope and a way to look past our current pain. It’s what BTS has been about since the start of their career.

    As a BTS fan, this one of my favorite albums ever. I liked too much every song, even the songs that aren't of my favorite genere. They just became more amazing every time, and it's theirfirts self-produced album. I'm just too whipped for this 7 pretty and good man.

    This album really had nothing going for it. I don't understand the hype at all, it was just generic and painfully bad.

    BE is the album in which BTS's sound crosses over to cement the type of legacy they're building – one that started in youth and is very proudly Korean, but that makes sense for any age or place.

    Frustration and grief animate these songs, but it’s their simplicity and specificity that make them compelling.

    Deciding to reflect on states of mind some of us could resonate to – especially this year – BE serves as a chronicle of what 2020 has been during lockdown: a year of uncertainty, anxiety, depression and frustration. But it also delivers hope for the future.
