    I was embraced through the whole album. I was waiting for them to release something like this, an entire project that makes me feels like home and comfortable and light like a feather and truly understood like some music from another genres makes me feel. I'm glad and proud to hear BE and to know that is a fully BTS project - from the very beggining to the very end. Thanks for anotherI was embraced through the whole album.

    Provaram novamente que são artistas completos através de um álbum com gêneros não explorados por eles anteriormente, letras tocantes as quais muitos podem relatar nesse período difícil e vocais impecáveis!

    This is by far the most cohesive album BTS had ever dropped. Consistency, quality, sensibility and variety are the words that better describe this album. MASTERPIECE!

    É um álbum com uma extensão lírica incrível e é muito reconfortante, ele é otimista mas sem deixar de ser realista. É sem duvida o melhor álbum de 2020.

    Loved to see BTS try new things like disco inspired songs and throw back a little to their old school hiphop (Dis-ease is a masterpiece). The lyrics are so personal and beautiful and I’m so proud of how much work and soul they put into BE.

    BE is a soothing album in deppressing times, a hand to comfort that also gives strength. their lyrics made me cry, but fortunately they end in a more upbeat note.

    This album speaks to me in a very personal way. Every message is carefully delivered. They're definitely artists and no one can't take this away from them.

    O album passa uma otima mensagem de esperança, apesar da melancolia de tracks como 'blue & gray"... Condiz exatamente com o momento que estamos vivenciando

    In the tiring and exhausting life recently, BE like a soothing drop of water that ease all of our worries. Through 8 songs, BTS take our hands and guide us throught many level of emotions we faced during the pandemic.

    "BE" es un álbum muy bueno y lleno de sentimientos.
    BTS sigue demostrando porqué son los mejores y las "críticas" negativas de algunas personas en esta página, demuestra que solo vienen a pasar pena y demostrar que les duele el éxito de 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.
