    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.

    This album is proof that it is possible to deliver incredible work without needing overproduction. BE is simple and objective, basically says: "if all we can do is comfort, then we will do it".

    Não tenho muito o que falar, como sempre BTS nos estrega em trabalho espetacular e especial. Consigo sentir a paixão e dedicação deles apenas ouvindo as músicas e vendo o MV. Resumindo esse álbum é a minha cura.

    Every track from beginning to end keeps you on your toes. Everything is unexpected, even midway through a single song. Even listen to the album again, the tracks always sound fresh and new. Truly, only BTS can pull off something like this.

The first part of the album is mellow and sad and second part of the album is sad but progresses to a brighter sound exploring different genres like old school hip-hop, retro pop, disco pop and future house. As always the album is genre blending. BTS making each genre their own. Personally my favourites are Blue and Grey, Dis-ease and Stay. Blue and grey is about anxiety and depression and Dis-ease is about the anxiety we feel from not being productive enough in this quarantine. Almighty knew I needed these songs in my life because I am not in a very good position mentally. Stay is about what they feel after not seeing their fans for so long. It's an album not about music experimentation and taking risks but about just simply giving comfort. Each verse in Dis-ease is so good and the lyrics and wordplay is top quality. The strongest point of a BTS album is the story they tell through their album and the lyrics of their music. I love the progression in this album and the lyrics of course.… Expand

    It really is a love letter to us. It's incredibly beautiful and so BTS. It goes from alternative hip hop to some retro 80's vibes. This is album is their way to give us comfort through this year

    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.
