    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.

    Seja qual for o tema/conceito que BTS decida abordar em seus álbuns, podemos sempre esperar uma obra totalmente coesa do início ao fim, ao mesmo tempo em que cada faixa tem sua própria sonoridade. Eles nunca seguem somente um gênero musical, essa diversidade deles é o que me faz amá-los tanto, eles nunca ficam na mesma zona de conforto e sempre procuram evoluir cada vez mais como artistas.Seja qual for o tema/conceito que BTS decida abordar em seus álbuns, podemos sempre esperar uma obra totalmente coesa do início ao fim, ao mesmo tempo em que cada faixa tem sua própria sonoridade.

    O álbum mais maduro do BTS. É possível sentir a individualidade de cada membro através dos solos, e o quanto são surpreendentes, juntos em grupo. Black Swan e Shadow são as que mais me impactaram. Acredito ser meu álbum favorito do grupo e do ano.

    A warm album, where you connect with people in the most natural way, not from artist to fan, from person to person going through similar emotions in difficult times, an album that gives you comfort, but above all pushes you to move forward.

    Thank you BTS for another excellent album full of versatility, always evolving its music so different from MOTS7.

    The album we needed and deserved after this god-awful year. Deserves a 10 just for Dis-ease. If you don't listen to BTS in the big year of 2020 then you are really missing out on some of the best music the industry has to offer.

Ele te conforta, trás letras fortes e necessárias em um mudo pós-pandemia, e encerra com grande esperanças para o futuro. Encaixar Dynamite no final da tracklist implica justamente isso.

    'Fly To My Room' e 'Blue & Grey' são os grandes destaques do álbum para mim, juntamente com o lead 'Life Goes On'.    … Expand

BE is an exceptional display of their talents as versatile artists. “Life goes on” opens with a hopeful message and uplifting beat as the title track. The acoustic pop, ballad, “Blue & grey” brings the listener to the edge of tears with its content - overwhelming sadness, while telling the listener they aren’t alone. The funky, “Telepathy” and EDM track, “Stay” are much more fast-paced, upbeat tunes which express the band’s beautiful connection with their ARMY. The two songs also serve as a metaphor to the bright future the fans can look forward to in times of hardship. “Dis-ease” the retro themed song follows, where the boys speak of their constant need to work and produce greater things even in times of ease and rest. “Fly to my room” connects with fans by expressing a feeling of being trapped and dissociated from their surrounding yet still being comfortable in their “room”. Lastly, the show stopper, “Dynamite,” ends with one last positive reminder that hardships pass and life once again will be filled with positively and joyful moments.… Expand

This is BTS' most vulnerable and mature album so far.. it starts with a nostalgic, bittersweet note with Life goes on and ends on a happy energetic note with Dynamite.. The first half of the album is melancholic given the concept and nature of the album and the second half is hopeful and bright.. This was a source of comfort for me and I am sure for BTS as well in this time of crisis. Loved it.… Expand

    O BE reflete intimidade, é nu, cru e repleto de humanidade, um álbum que funciona como um diário, de alguém cansado, frustrado, mas esperançoso, alguém que não tem nada à oferecer além de um abraço e espera que seu singelo ato seja suficiente para suprir carências

    They really outdid themselves with this album, so cohesive and beautifully put together. An album meant to comfort ARMY. You won't be able to get the message if you don't know BTS enough, tracks like Bue & Grey and Dis-ease stand out a lot to me. Every song is so enjoyable and beautiful, this is BE, this is 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.
