    They show us their sadness through the lyrics of the songs, which means they are just people with the same emotions like us, and that’s what brings them closer to the fandom. It's like a stripped down album.

    Esse album é tão intimista. As letras, as melodias, tudo é incrivelmente perfeito. BTS realmente acertou bastante nesse álbum. BE se tornou um dos meus álbuns favoritos, traz um sentimento tão forte de conforto, amor, carinho, mas também tem um ar melancólico, eles entregaram TUDO. Parabéns, BTS, por serem o único grupo com BE na discografia

Os conheci entre junho e julho de 2019 e não foi pessoalmente, uma pena rsrsrs, então procurei saber mais sobre o grupo que me cativou e me encantou tanto e depois de um tempo eu já havia baixado mais de 100 músicas deles e também já sabia bastante coisas sobre eles e isso tudo aconteceu antes mesmo daquele ano acabar. Com o passar do tempo eles me ajudaram muito a conhecer mais sobre mim mesma. E me surpreendi inúmeras vezes. Hoje digo com muito amor e carinho que sou ARMY. Desde que eu os conheci passei a admirá-los e respeitá-los como seres humanos, pessoas e como Homens. Eles São muito humildes e companheiros, sem contar a fé, o carinho, o amor, a luz e a força que sentem e tem uns pelos outros. Eles são seres humanos como todos nós. E merecem muito mas muito mesmo todo o carinho e amor como todos nós. Muitas pessoas esquecem, mas eles também são seres humanos. Não os acompanhei desde o seu debut mas posso dizer que eles Lutaram muito para serem os Homens que eles são hoje e chegarem onde chegaram. E isso eles fizeram junto de todos nós ARMYS. Portanto, parabéns para todos nós e Parabéns para o BTS. Que venha a nova ERA BE.… Expand

BE is like a warm hug on a cold winter day, but it doesn't gloss over the pain and hardships people have gone through over the past months. It discusses stress, mental illness, loneliness, but does end on a more positive note each time. They went back to their older sound with the track Dis-ease, which is more hiphop-based but also has some other musucal elements that keep building up throughout the song. Telepathy is probably one of those songs that you keep playing multiple times a day, just to understand it more. A lot of people have discussed how the album makes you want to re-listen to understand it more. I experience the same thing because the order of songs feels so /right/ yet keeps your attention (e.g. the skit section that is brought back, serving as an intermezzo in the album, or Stay ending on a distorted noise that keeps getting louder and creates tension, which is then taken away and turned into relief once Dynamite starts playing). Another reason for the album being so fit for repeated listening (please do not loop though; algorithms and all) is that various songs do not or do not appear to have a clear-cut chorus. That can be messy but in this case it creares a very nice flow in the songs. BE is like a hug where you're allowed to cry, and heal through that cry.… Expand

It takes a tad bit of patience to look up lyric translations of course. But I am sure future humans will not be as small minded as the ones living in today’s world. With that barrier crossed, you are introduced to this document of 2020 with a message of realistic hope (things may be bad now but it will get better. Life Goes On); confinement, frustration and comfort that comes with traveling inside your home (Fly to my room), depression and helplessness and a desire to simply let it consume you (Blue and Grey); a cheerful interruption (I did not see translations for Skit and was sure I would skip it on the first try, but ended up not because it’s infectious to hear cheer after the first three songs that hit a bit too close to home). There is acknowledgement that even though physically apart we are emotionally connected (Telepathy) that brought back memories of the many video calls with family. The most innovative track on this album though is Dis-ease. As a working adult and type A person, probably my most prevalent experience in this pandemic has been the disorientation that comes with running the rat race in full speed as the world around me is literally buckling under the weight of an illness... a dis-ease. I don’t think I have ever heard western musicians (the popular ones at least) tackle this occupational illness, choosing instead to preen about their romance or obsesses in their lineage and history. Yet, this plagues so many of us everywhere and was what made me finally break down in tears. A grown person; I can say I did not expect to cry over music made by seven young men from South Korea, in 2020. But then, what about 2020 was ever within my expectations? The penultimate track, “Stay” is dedicated by BTS to their fans and is about their connection surviving the rest of physical distance through technology. While this might be more relatable for a BTS fan, for me it served as both an interesting thesis on the connection between a celebrity and a fan and a reminder that even though I haven’t seen my beloved friends, I hope our connection will stay the same when we meet again in person. Friendships, lacking the surety of familial bonds, are of course not so different from how BTS talk about their ARMY. Dynamite starts at the high note on which Stay ends. I will be honest, while the beat of this song and the voices of these boys are infectious, as someone who expects lyricism and gravity in music, Dynamite is the weakest of all songs lyrically. Heard by itself, it’s scarcely more than American gibberish, the kind of lyrics that lead to me developing a permanent distaste for chart topping American artists. However, Dynamite’s beauty in this album lies much more in its placement and ordering than its lyricism. An unapologetic and joyous celebration of life, the song evokes pure hedonia. What a bright hopeful note to end an album that through both somber and upbeat songs prior, hits too close to home, leaving us in tears. Some might feel it’s too soon to start acknowledging the scars 2020 has given all of us. That might explain the rather blasé if not completely unintelligent “music critic” reviews I read of this masterpiece. However, I can assure you this. The seven men of BTS are resolutely hopeful and decisive about standing next to you, holding your hand, as you slowly make sense of what happened to you in the lost year of our century. BE, therefore, is catharsis itself.… Expand

    Amazing. Comforting, relaxing, mind-blowing. The lyrics for this album of them isn't as complicated as the previous ones and I love it. They didn't want to prove themselves or impress everyone, they just wanted to heal the world. I loved it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The difference between BTS and all artists is evident in their creativity. They write music based on their feelings, experiences and fears .. The main difference between the album from all previous cases is this album of everything that is happening in the world now. That is, through BTS wanted to convey their feelings and instill hope in others, isn't this a sign that they (BTS) care? They literally write music about the problems of people and the world, and not what is popular and hype.… Expand

    Es un álbum espectacular, fácilmente las personas se pueden sentir identificadas con las canciones, BTS muestra perfectamente la versatilidad que tienen al abarcar distintos géneros musicales, son músicos innatos. Personalmente DIS-EASE, Blue & Grey, Fly To My Room, Dynamite, Telepathy y Stay son canciones que todos deben escuchar porque son increíbles.

In this pandemic, it’s like a comfort for a broken person, it’s medicine for someone who feels alone, because all the emotions hit close to home. BTS have captured the emotions of a person going through a hard time perfectly while also providing consolation that they will be there for us. It’s like a friend who knows the right things to say. It is pure comfort. It deserves 100 rating but some biased critics as always like to play dirty gave poor reviews. Well their loss because BTS is always going to soar higher while you all can wave them from the ground and cry over not treating the right when you had the opportunity. BTS… Expand

Every day I find something new to fall in love with. The title track, "Life Goes On" is beautifully soothing, a floaty flow-y guitar ballad that gets more and more heart-wrenching the more you listen. The opening lyrics of the song and full album, "One day, the world stopped / Without any warning / Spring didn't know to wait / Showed up not even a minute late," describe the feelings we all have so perfectly. Though the seasons are changing, we all feel stuck in place. The opening verse is followed by RM's, with lyrics, "Running faster than that cloud of rain / Thought that would be enough / Guess I'm only human after all," that resonate so deeply within that I had to take a very very deep breath after reading. BTS's lyrics have always been almost pure poetry, the way they've been able to quantify the human experience. Now, I could go on and on about these lyrics-- throughout this track and the 6 that follow after, but there is, of course so many characters I have. In short, the lyrics on this record, BE, are absolutely gorgeous, and tell a story of something so human and raw and lovely. It's my hope that as many people as possible could have the pleasure of listening and enjoying this album, and could find solace and peace through it as I have.… Expand

    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.

    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.
