    For sure this album is one of the most anticipated this year. After the hit single “dynamite” not only the fans but a lot of people kept their eyes (and ears) ready to wait for the new BTS album, BE. But definitely no one was expecting something like this! With only 8 tracks the band created a whole environment to hold and secure anyone who listened to these songs. Because that's for sureFor sure this album is one of the most anticipated this year. After the hit single “dynamite” not only the fans but a lot of people kept their eyes (and ears) ready to wait for the new BTS album, BE. But definitely no one was expecting something like this! With only 8 tracks the band created a whole environment to hold and secure anyone who listened to these songs. Because that's for sure what you feel with this album, a feeling of security and hope, like a promise that even after a chaotic year like 2020, someday somehow life will find a way back on the tracks and things will be alright again. That’s the big thing about BTS, they're not doing it for the numbers and the records, they’re doing it for the message, to give a reason and a piece of hope to who may need it. And because of that their fans work so hard. They want to somehow give it back to them. Especially now, when they show the world songs like “life goes on”, “blue & grey” and “dis-ease”. Songs that show so much of their souls and also reflect a lot of the way life’s being this year.
    Also, songs like “stay”, “telepathy” and “fly to my room” give such a happiness vibe together with meaningful lyrics.
    With these few songs BTS cross different music styles and yet keep some kind of harmony that connects the songs. BE is definitely a journey to be appreciated!    … Expand

    Cada música reflete o que está dizendo tão lindamente, as melodias são tão reconfortantes e divertidas. Eu acho extremamente difícil nao se identificar com cada letra em meio a esse tempo tão tenebroso e não se sentir reconfortado nem que apenas um pouco. o álbum todo é simplesmente incrível.

    BE passa uma sensação maravilhosa para os ouvintes, eu me senti confortada e abraçada o álbum inteiro. Eu recomendo ouvir BE com a mente aberta, porque as sensações que ele vai te passar não está escrita em palavras.

    This don't feel like an album anymore, it's more like a diary of them and we are reading all the parts. The happy part, the sad part, the hope and hopeless part. This album it's just a masterpiece. BTS never disappoint.

    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.
