    This is not really that amazing. I liked their older stuff better.

    Anyway...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hardly an album! 8 songs is definitely too short for an album. More like an EP. BTS are definitely mocking their fans. Very boring and plain tunes. Even the hit Dynamite doesnt even sound that great. With the lyrics “cup of milk lets rock and roll” it just sounds awful. Very childish… Expand

    The lyrics are the most incredible part of the album. An ode to isolation and love for your music and fans.

    É simplesmente incrível, o conceito, estilo, a harmonização, a sensação de paz quando escuta é indescritível.
    Recomendo muito mesmo.

    Um álbum que nos traz tanto consolo quanto um abraço de alguém amado. Músicas com mensagens realmente significativas e necessárias principalmente levando em conta a situação que estamos vivendo hoje. Um presente dado a nós em forma de música

    I thought my ears could never appreciate anything of total quality, this album is everything. Thanks, these songs helped me a lot. Even if they have a lot of criticism, don't be discouraged just be very happy, because that's what they want. First listen to the songs, if you are from another country, try to find the translation, you will see that there is a lot behind each letter.

    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.

    This album could not have been released at a better time. In the midst of the chaos of the pandemic, the songs on the album bring comfort. The songs are welcoming, calm and good to hear. This is by far one of BTS's best albums.

    Me gusto mucho, un excelente álbum, nunca decepcionan, BTS lo está haciendo excelente, y muchos lo ven como un grupo sobrevalorado pero nada que ver chicos, si dejamos los prejuicios aun lado tal vez les guste, son personas totalmente increíbles, se merecen el éxito que tienen, y su fandom poderoso siempre fiel a su grupo

    BE is the product of artists finding comfort in their creative process. Where in Black Swan from their 2020 album Map of the Soul 7 they talk about the fear of ever losing their passion in Life Goes On and the songs from BE shows them needing music and finding joy in their creative endeavors. This album is them taking their broken heart and making it into art, and it's incredible

    really great, an album that gives you a hug to the heart telling you that you are not alone and that all the bad things will pass, "although we have bad times life goes on", the rhythms and the musical mix really give you a very pleasant feeling when listening to it, it's a very complete album

    Literally what the world needs right now in terms of music. The lyrics resonate deep with what's going on right now, the pandemic and quarantine, and also has a blend of genre/music styles that are pleasing to the ear. Starts off with a slow, nostalgic sound that expands into a more funky disco upbeat bop. It's amazing, album of the year along with map of the soul7. :)

    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.
