    Amo la variedad en su discografia y este álbum BE tiene mucho potencial, mostraron su lado natural, el como se sienten en medio de esta nueva realidad con la pandemia y como nos sentimos todos en este entorno. Fue la manera en que BTS mostró el apoyo con sus fans y oyentes para reconfortarse mutuamente, así es como se siente.

    The album telling us the real life out there rn, how the pandemic has been for us. The band opened up about their own personal experiences, how this year has been for them with a message of comfort and that situations will get better soon. Not to forget the album explores a lot of genres, themes and has a very strong core message. BTS HAVE CERTAINLY MADE 2020 BETTER.

    If you’re tired of the same old, same old I strongly suggest BE by bts. The boys explore many different, unique genres that you do not see a lot of on the music scene right now and executed them perfectly, putting in their own lil spins here and there moulding it into their own sound and putting yet another genre they’ve dominated under their belt.

I'm 26, 27 in next year and I feel like I have a friend when I listen their music, I feel calm, I feel like there's light and even if I'm sad or I'm losing hope, it will be fine. Just like Mono by Namjoon aka RM, BE makes you feel like you are not alone and you will be fine. One day. Just keep going... Life goes on

    They managed to express themselves, convey the messages they wanted to and comfort and cheer listeners up in the span of half an hour.

Dis-ease is an old school hip-hop track with an impressive bridge. Skit is them celebrating their first #1 on the billboard hot100. Stay is an edm tack with incredibly emotional yet relatable lyrics.

This whole album is different from what BTS usually does, lyric wise they've always written about true experiences and have always added comfort songs for their fans, but this one album they truly displayed their emotions with no restraint, they displayed every single one of their hardships in such a simple and understandable way, that makes it seem like I can feel what they're feeling. This album isn't only good lyric wise but the instrumental and vocal arrangements are splendid. Safe to say this is my comfort album!… Expand

    this is my favourite album from BTS so far. Every song sounds fresh, and I don't think they've ever put out songs that sound the same. The diversity, lyrics, production on this album are perfect. It somehow made me love BTS more.

    A beautifully arranged album that, despite the varying genres, is exceptionally cohesive from start to finish. The stories told through the songs will likely ring familiar to the listener as the world faces the pandemic. Understanding the songs may bring an ache very alike to longing but there is also assurance that one may find solace in.

    Esse álbum contém tudo que uma pessoa precisa nessa quarentena. Conforto, ombro amigo pra chorar e forças pra continuar. Eles foram tão puros com os sentimentos nas letras que parece que somos amigos próximos se aconselhando a não desistir e pensar sempre que 'a vida continua' . Todo mundo deveria ouvir e ler independente de ser fã ou não.

    Another masterpiece by BTS. It’s perfect for this year, perfect for this weather and perfect after Dynamite. Brought me so much joy and comfort. Best tracks in my opinion: Life Goes On and Blue & Grey.

    This BTS’ self-produced album proves magnificent potential and talent they have.
    Even though there are a lot of Korean lyrics in tracks, i would overcome the language barrier with just a few translations to read these beautiful lyrics.
    Great job, BTS.

    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.
