    It's a great work that reflects the group's journey since they debuted until today. You can see the growth as time passed but also notice how their important messages and love for music hasn't changed. Beautiful celebration of the "first chapter" in their career.

    I love it too much, they always have a different sound from the others, the best thing is that they differentiate themselves from the others, their lyrics are so significant to their career, simply perfect

    Proof is one the best album which defines and describes the 9years of journey of BTS and ARMY together. The hardwork, the happiness, the pain, the passion, the sorrow, joy that BTS shares with ARMY is what is shown in this album. Thankful to BTS for saving ARMY with their music

    É um álbum muito bom! Com uma encantadora viagem pela sua discografia, o bts nos surpreende com músicas demo, música originais e novas extremamente boas e excitantes! Como sempre, eles seguem sendo os maiores artistas da indústria musical.

Because it's an analogue album, it brings total nostalgia from so many eras, it was an amazing idea. And as you know we had the 3 unreleased singkes, simply the best I've ever heard. Each new song brings different feelings (you won't miss anything if you feel free to listen). In conclusion Proof was totally a hit, the concept, the new music, the ones that already existed, were the best. It deserves nothing less than aoty! ps: RUN BTS is the darling of the public, listen just once so you can confirm… Expand

    Starting an anthology album with Born Singer, with lyrics describing their dreams and aspirations of becoming bigger, and looking back at what they went through to finally be on stage, performing for their fans, for me is a statement of their humble beginnings but with a very strong will to get where they are now.

BTS provided the fans with a look-back on each era, with their hits and B-sides, and with demos, an intimate gift for true fans of their music to show the rough start and unpolished BTS. I am happy to hear their demos because it is a proof that they are very involved in writing/producing their music. They will share their melodies, even with lyrics that doesn't make sense, just to get the flow of what will work and what will not work as a melody in a particular part of a song. What a great concept that is. This is truly Bangtan Sonyeondan's proof and reflection of why they are great performers/artists. For Youth, the last song in the album, is a song that is truly heart-warming. It is like a warm hug for their fans who believed in them, who made BTS to believe on themselves, knowing they have that kind of strong support from their listeners. I applaud BTS for choosing great songs in the album.… Expand

    And then, CD3! Never would I have expected to be able to listen to some of these demos! It means a lot to me, that they're releasing them, albeit only on CD and not on streaming services which I understand since some of them are straight up unfinished but nevertheless an intimate glimpse into their songwriting process and how far they've come since they started out as musicians    … Expand

    The perfect summary of their career so far, 9 beautiful years spent running harder than anyone. You've worked hard! I can't stop listening to Run BTS, it's my favourite on the album. Makes me get up and dance every time I listen and I think it's the kind of song we all need to have stuck in our heads once in a while. Give it a listen if you haven't, there are no skips on this one.

    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.
