    The most unique and emotional way of perfectly depicting what the world has been through this pandemic and year in general... an art piece for the ages.

    BE é muito mais que apenas um álbum, cada vez que ouço ele é como se fosse a primeira vez. Todos os membros do BTS se envolveram diretamente com o álbum então a essência dele grita que é do BTS. Cada faixa com o seu tom próprio, o sentimento que vocês nunca vai cansar de ouvir. BE será o maior álbum do BTS, pois BE é completamente o BTS.

    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.

    BE is an album that brings comfort, it's like a cup of warm tea in the winter, or that tight hug you give or receive from someone when you're in trouble. It was based on that experience in Pandemic period, so it expresses everything we felt and what we needed to hear, that life goes on

I'm rooting for them!… Expand

    Very good mix of genres and styles, even the casual listener can hear the different personalities of the members embedded in the melodies and lyrics. As usual, the lyricism is well done, BTS are able to convey complex emotions in both melody and lyrics.

    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.
