For those unwilling to understand the weight of this album, it may seem that BTS just created a compilation of some of their best songs, but considering the group's own words to fans at one of their last shows PROOF is a testament, a reflection on the past and its lessons while contemplating the future. PROOF represents BTS cleaning the house to make room for a new journey.

There is no grade for so much work, so much perseverance, so much inspiration and so much talent.… Expand

    The album is a perfect walk through the history of BTS and shows their growth and diversity. New Song Run BTS is a infectious guitar heavy track that showcases both the rap and vocal lines. For Youth and Yet to Come perfectly sum up their past while For Youth promises a brilliant future , together with ARMY.

    This is a great album! Starting off with Born Singer makes you realize what music truly mean for BTS. Then, you take a journey through their past songs and see why millions of fans love them! And please don’t get me started with RUN BTS! It’s a certified ass shaker. I am proud of these young men and I am ready to walk the path with them and see what is in store for chapter two.

    While listening to this anthology album, that single-handedly confirms the versatility and outstanding quality of BTS' music catalog, I can't help but think that in times where music has started to loose it's original roots, BTS have stayed true to their musicality and have continued to tell meaningful stories through their music, one way or another, whether people understand it or not.While listening to this anthology album, that single-handedly confirms the versatility and outstanding quality of BTS' music catalog, I can't help but think that in times where music has started to loose it's original roots, BTS have stayed true to their musicality and have continued to tell meaningful stories through their music, one way or another, whether people understand it or not. This album is their history, their voices put together talking about matters of society, of love, of acceptance, of their reality as human beings with all eyes on them. Their story told in metaphors or told straightforward– each member with their own charismatic, unique delivery; the members of rap line with their different ways of approaching the same theme– this anthology is a brief guide into what Bangtan Sonyeondan believes in and stands for, as well as a quick look into their discography.
    It's a time-machine into the years between 2013 and 2022, showing their growth as artists, musicians, vocalists, rappers and, last but not least, people.
    Closing off the first chapter with their history brought together into one album, as well as promising that their best is yet to come; BTS are up to no less than even more bright future.    … Expand

    if you, like many others, heard about them first thanks to their english singles "Dynamite" or "Butter", you're in for a surprise with this release. and a good one, i might add. this album gathers both their most popular korean music and brings some of their criminally underrated songs (released before they were known as the global superstars they are today) to light at the same time.

    underrated or not, the core of BTS' music was and will always be one's personal growth as a person. a journey that reflects not only the almost decade the group has been together, but their own individual development throughout the years. traveling through the challenging experience that is youth to the discovery of our real selves, who we want to be, what inspires us to keep going. to learn from our past mistakes and grow to become better people. to seek justice and fight for what's right, to aim for great things, to believe we are worthy of greatness. that's BTS, and it's safe to say this anthology encapsulates all of this flawlessly.

    people might talk, others might belittle and trolls can write negative reviews in here all they want. none of it will erase the fact that BTS has impacted the world positively... and this is just the beginning.

    Proof is the first anthology album from BTS. It contains their strongest and among others some of their most personal songs. With the title track "Yet to Come" we are taken back to their past and how it relates to the present and future. In the last nine years BTS have made the impossible possible and this album contains everything they needed to make it happen.

    This album is a wonderful anthology for fans old and new alike. There are the hits but also 3 new songs which are all exceptional. They have also included demo versions of songs which are sometimes surprising and offer a glimpse into the writing process. This is a love letter for Army and for casual listeners or the curious an amazing way to discover the legends that are BTS.

BTS' music's' lyrics contain themes that do not always revolve around heartbreak and romance. Instead, they speak of social injustice, self-love, friendship, and so much more. BTS have always been known as artists who make music for healing, and this album can attest to that. They deserve every ounce of praise they get, and I invite everyone here to give their music a listen without any prejudice.… Expand

    The anthology is well-executed. It portrays the best of the best of bts’ discography while also showing their progression from debut to present day.

New fans have a little bit of everything to sample from, since the tracks on the album spans across several genres. All in all, another great album by bts.… Expand

    Best way to make an anthology album. A look back on the hits that made them and the reason they were loved. Also a big thank you with love for the fans who have loved them thru the years. The new songs Yet To Come, Run BTS and For Youth show all those plus how much this 7 men for South Korea have grown in their music as well as a team. music

Esse álbum é uma viagem no tempo contando a sua história e nos da uma noção de como eles se tornaram esse sucesso mundial que são agora. É uma homenagem aos próprios membros do grupo e sua equipe, por seu trabalho duro, e também claramente uma homenagem aos fãs de longa data (que com certeza pegaram todas as referências!!).

    Mesmo pra quem vem de fora e não pegou a trajetória completa do grupo, como eu, continua um album delicioso de se ouvir. Foi o primeiro álbum de música que comprei e estou mais do que satisfeita. Ele é poderoso, divertido, emocional e relaxante, tudo no mesmo. BTS merece todo esse prestígio que estão tendo, são figurinhas raras hoje em dia. Desejo que as pessoas abram mãos de seus preconceitos e deem uma chance pra ouvir o trabalho deles, a música supera qualquer barreira.

Yet to come the title track i guess might be an emotional song for the armies. Pied piper and born singer are new to me and they are so good i wish I'd heard them before. I'm attached to zero 0clock

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This anthology albums compiles not only BTS title songs and greatest hits that has paved a way for them to become global superstars, but allows fans (ARMYs) to reminisce 9 years of their musical journey. Proof's title track "Yet To Come" looks back on BTS musical career and declare that they're just 7 artists who love creating music. The album is broken into three separate CDs each showing a different aspects over their artistic trajectory. The first CD arranges all BTS titles tracks (with the inclusion of an official release of "Born Singer" which was originally just on SoundCloud) throughout their 9 years together showcasing a wide variety of genres. While the second CD are various songs handpicked by the members that spoke to them and their individuality. Lastly the third CD (which is not currently on any streaming platforms) is amassed from demos, unreleased works and the last song "For Youth" which begins with an insert from their fans singing along to "Young Forever" (a song that has become quintessentially meaningful to both artist and fans). Overall the album beautifully captures the last 9 years and closes the first chapter of BTS artistry with their best yet to come.… Expand

It's a beautiful Album and have listened without skipping any song. Because each song is unique and different. I love Proof

    Proof serves as a nostalgia trip for long-time fans of the septet and a summary introduction for the curious. With thirty old songs, three completely new tracks, and eleven new versions of well-loved classics, this album marks a satisfying closure to their first nine years as a group.

    For fans who were sucked in during the time of “Dynamite” or “Butter” and haven’t dug into their back catalogue just yet, they might be surprised to discover just how broad of a range these songs can stretch. ... Disc 3 is a whole different kind of time capsule: there are 11 unreleased demos, two brand new tracks (“Quotation Mark” and “For Youth”), and one previously-shelved track (“Young Love”) that peel back the curtain on BTS as artists like never before.
