    This Anthology, though especially put together for their fans to reminisce 9 years of a very prolific career, is also appealing to the general public, as it lets them sample all the genres inside BTS's music.

    I've been listening to music for 40 years, all styles from heavy to rock to pop to classical. I have to say, the quality of this band is undeniable.

The monumental release of their aptly named anthology Proof is a milestone few musicians reach and the oldest member has yet to reach the age of 30.
    The 3 CDs each have a distinct purpose: CD1 is a chronological order of their lead singles, CD2 contains 1 subunit song and 1 solo song chosen by each member and CD3, only available with a physical copy as an exclusive gift to their enormous fan base ARMY, is an intimate collection of unreleased tracks and demos. Each CD has a new official track and CD1 starts out with Born Singer, a 2013 rewritten version of J. Cole's Born Sinner previously only available on SoundCloud. All in all, Proof contains 48 vastly different tracks covering topics from social injustice, mental health, friendships, youth rebellion, self-individuation and an ever-present devotion towards their diverse and equally devoted ARMY, a fanbase almost as famous as the band itself.
    If you have only heard their English Language smash hits Dynamite and Butter, you are in for a surprise. BTS are masters of hybrid music; blessed with spectacular vocals from V, Jimin, Jungkook and Jin covering both intense, deep notes and crystal clear, airy falsettos and arguably some of the best rappers Asia has to offer in RM, SUGA and JHope, BTS can literally do any genre. But what Proof demonstrates is that not only do the group play with whichever genre they want, they also do it exceedingly well. If disco-inspired Dynamite and funky Butter made you want to move, you’ll definitely be well exercised after jumping around to electronica/hip-hop-track Fire or IDOL, a dance track celebrating South African music and Korean traditional instruments. You can sway to moombahton/trap-song Blood, Sweat & Tears or neo-soul-inspired Singularity, and finally turn introspective with the epic pop rock ballad Spring Day, a song that has not left the South Korean hit list since its release in 2016.
    The real gems, however, are for those ready to explore the often exquisite lyrics penned mostly by the band members themselves. RM, their most prolific writer closely followed by SUGA and JHope, is a master of metaphors, clever wordplay and quirky observations as observed in his solo Intro:Persona and the charming little pop-tune Dimple. While the language barrier may fool lazy people into believing that their music is inaccessible, there are plenty high quality fan translations available and the cultural insights they provide along the lyrics are quite enlightening.
    For old fans the new songs are naturally of particular interest. The lead single Yet to Come is that signature blend of pop and hip-hop which is BTS’s trademark, an introspective ode to the 9 years now in the past and a promise of even better things to come. Run BTS is an absolute A++ track, reminiscent of the aggressive, cocky rap of especially BTS’s early years and you are almost guaranteed to see that evolve into a viral dance challenge on TikTok. If you do nothing else, at least do yourselves the favor of playing it at least once. The final new official track For Youth closes CD3 as a pure love song to their fans and while the receiver of the message is quite clear, you’d have to have a heart of stone if you don’t feel just a little moved.
    To make a summary that truly encapsulates what Proof contains is not possible. If you take nothing else away from this review, it should be this: Do not make the mistake of labelling BTS. This is a group that has converted heavy metal fans, classical musicians, scholars, journalists, authors, politicians, business professionals, young and old, men and women into dedicated fans. For eclectic music lovers like myself, every part of their discography has something to offer, either musically, lyrically or both. Do yourself the favor of giving Proof a chance – you just might find a new world waiting.    … Expand

    A great album to look at BTS journey since their debut in 2013.
    How they evolved from heavily hip hop sound in their beginning to more into pop sound mixed with lots of different genres. It really shows how versatile their discography is, a little bit of everything for everyone. And they do it so well. Hip hop, pop ballads, R&B, neo soul, rock to EDM. Other than the obvious group tracks,    A great album to look at BTS journey since their debut in 2013.

Other than the obvious group tracks, this album also includes solo songs from each member, and unit songs from the rappers and vocalists.

    With BTS, do take your time to dive into their lyrics. They always take us to their own relatable journey, from the humble beginning with big dreams, hardships, self acceptance & self love, to struggle with fame and success.

    And their 3 new songs perfectly encapsulated this journey: the title track "Yet To Come" is their hope to continue the journey, the hip hop track "Run BTS" is a glorious look at their run towards success and lastly, "For Youth" feels like a love letter to the fans: ARMY.    … Expand

    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.
