    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an anthology album and there's three new songs Yet To Come is such an intimate one and if you watch the M/V from youtube you'll probably be weirded out by the most random stuffs on the desert(the venue) since there are bus, trains, SUGA on a piano, etc. But this is more of an artist-fan connection. that's why most of their fans find this comeback very close to our hearts. The CD3—which contains several demos and one acapella version of Still With You— is only available on the physical album. One member did said, this comeback is for ARMYs and ARMYs only. All in all, the songs are heavenly with a touch of nostalgia. Lastly, Run BTS is a complete bop. STREAM PROOF… Expand

    BTS return with another yet masterpiece, this time an anthology album that shows their growth, their path from debut to their rise as one if not the biggest superstar in our days. The title track ‘Yet to come’ promises that they will return again and that ‘the best is what comes next’, while For Youth is an anthem to ARMY and expresses their sincere feelings towards us.

    Such a special anthology! I love the new songs included—Run BTS is my favorite of those. For CD 3, it was so special hearing the demos and knowing how the final versions evolved from them. Jin’s Epiphany demo sounded amazing! And then we also got Agust D’s Tony Montana ft Jimin—FINALLY, dreams do come true!!

    The anthology album is special because it shows the extent and intensity of BTS’ artistry since debut. Listening to the album from the start to finish, you are presented with a story of growth, of passion, of exploration, and of maturity, by the septet. Who are seven but move as one. You can’t help it to be impressed and understand why BTS is where they are today.

    "Proof" is not only an amazing way to get someone who is new to BTS introduced, it also follows a story via lyrics and songs of BTS's growth and artistic development. It also closes one chapter for them, they're declaring that they're not done. They're only starting and their single "Yet to Come" encases a nostalgic and sad closing to an era of music but also curiosity to know what's next."Proof" is not only an amazing way to get someone who is new to BTS introduced, it also follows a story via lyrics and songs of BTS's growth and artistic development. It also closes one chapter for them, they're declaring that they're not done. They're only starting and their single "Yet to Come" encases a nostalgic and sad closing to an era of music but also curiosity to know what's next. As for the tracks: they're all varied in sound but my personal favorite "Run BTS" shows the real "Proof" of BTS's hard work and the blood, sweat and tears they've spilled to reach their worldwide success. It's a track that shows a raw, tough, yet fun side to BTS's discography. A side not known by many in the general public. They mention their success along the album, but even with all those riches and glory, they keep reiterating that they simply love music. And given with all the music they've even gifted to their fans, the genuine interactions and messages, it's a simple yet very endearing truth. Many of the songs chosen for this album also show it, for they're not all the most popular tracks but rather they complement their "Proof". This is album that encompasses a little bit of every step in BTS's history, as well as a determined statement to wait for what's "Yet to Come". I hope others get to enjoy this album as much as I did, because with each new listen, you can even discover something new.… Expand

    It's an anthology that means a lot to BTS and their ARMY. It represents the long journey of BTS' songs and passion. Throughout various genres of songs and languages, BTS has shown their dreams and achievements though this album. It's worth checking out their main title songs from each era, their personal picks and exclusive releases that represent these feelings after these 9 years.

    This is a celebratory album. Ceremonial. We see a little bit of everything BTS has done in their 9 years career. Reflects their every era, every sound, shows their growth and versatility. The album celebrate their 9 years of artistry and is just so wholesome and special. They give us everything in this.

    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.
