    With each new BTS song they manage to outdo themselves, always presenting us with music of extreme quality and Proof would be no different, we can feel new colors and new tastes with the new tracks and have the nostalgia of the old ones too. I'm proud of their work and who they've become.

    O BTS nunca desaponta. Com apenas 3 músicas novas eles conseguiram nós levar ao extremo da nostalgia, gratidão e ecstase. As demos são outro ponto alto do álbum, é impossível não sentir o quanto eles se entregam no processo criativo de suas músicas refinando cada vez. Mais até atingir o máximo em perfeição. Como sempre, o BTS merece 10000!!!

    Proof contém todas as músicas mais importante da carreira do BTS assim com faixas inéditas e versões demo de grandes sucessos deles. Todo o álbum chama muita atenção e está perfeito. Minha faixa nova favorita é Run BTS. Recomendo demais escutar o 3 cds e se perder nas batidas e letras perfeitas desse grupo maravilhoso.

    This album is a beautiful summary of the entire history of BTS, showing very well who they are and where they came from. It's an album for the fans, but it's also an album for those who want to start really understanding them.

As vozes da vocal line em For Youth e Yet to Come são doces, angelicais, enquanto em Run BTS são agudas e marcantes. Como sempre o BTS acertou em cheio.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A tribute to their 9 year journey together, BTS is providing Proof as to why they’re the biggest group in the world.
    This anthology starts from their roots with a cover of J. Cole’s “Born Sinner”. “Born Singer” is a raw look into the seven young men who were just beginning their journey. From there, CD 1 runs through all of their title tracks/lead singles, finishing with Yet To Come. Yet To Come puts emphasis on these men closing the chapter on their youth and the first part of their musical journey.
    CD 2 begins with Run BTS (not to be confused with the variety show of the same name). Run BTS is a hip-hop track that lives up to its name. BTS has never stopped running. It then flows into deep cuts chosen by each of the members that show the immense diversity their discography offers.
    CD 3 (CD only) is laden with demos and unreleased tracks. This look into their process of making a song is cool. You get the honey vocals of j-hope on the DNA demo (more please!), the Agust D track Tony Montana featuring Jimin, and an acapella version of Still With You (Jungkook is a siren. You can’t convince me he’s not) before finishing up with For Youth (the only CD 3 song available digitally).
    This anthology tidily wraps up the first 9 years of their career. I am eagerly anticipating what comes next, because the best is truly yet to come.    … Expand

    This album is nearly 10 years worth of music displaying the growth of the artists. It shows diversity in genres and skill. Many of these songs have helped to heal broken people or just brighten people's lives. This album is the epitome of the phrase "music soothes the soul".

    This album is the perfect bridge between what BTS has done and what they'll do in the future. The title track, Yet To Come, is a love song to their career up until now that looks toward what's next. To hear the growth BTS had over the years is wonderful and the new songs really add to the overall listening experience. I recommend if you've just started discovering them.

    There is no doubting the amount of thought, time, and passion that went into creating and curating this album. It tells a story, and is the evidence of, what has been a triumphant journey to the upper-most echelons of musical talent. Yet, this album does not brag about this feat, indeed, it takes a step back and allows us to truly understand the workings of the worlds biggest boy band.

Yet, this album does not brag about this feat, indeed, it takes a step back and allows us to truly understand the workings of the worlds biggest boy band. Yet to come celebrates all that makes BTS and exclaims this is just the beginning; the whole mood of the album reflects this. The crowning glory being Run BTS, a hip-hop track that has the potential to be the bands magnum opus- indeed only time will tell- but it is an incredible flashback and forward, simultaneously getting us excited for more and nostalgic for the past. The only criticism of this album is the pacing which leaves the two highlights of the work running in tandem (with Run BTS coming directly after Yet to Come). This leaves large expanses of older tracks to drift in anticipation of the new. (This can often leave me jumping around the album, chasing the high of the newer releases). They have done it again!… Expand

    This anthology album perfectly encapsulates the whole journey and evolution of BTS' music and artistry as musicians. The three new tracks and the demos added new essence and meaning to this anthology album. My favorite tracks are Yet To Come, Run BTS, Quotation Mark (???), and For Youth.

    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.
