    This is literally the proof of why they are so big right now. The artistry, the lyrics, the flow and melody. From the first track until the last it is all perfectly curated.

    An absolutely beautiful album. Everything bts touches turns to something more valuable than gold. My personal rankings of the new songs are: 1. For Youth 2. Run Bts 3. Yet to Come.

    Only 9 years into their career they've done everything some musicians took decades to do still with as much care and attention to detail like during their debut. It's truly amazing what these boys can achieve, and Proof is their proof, it's self explanatory.

    What a wonderful way of reflecting back on their career and highlighting some of the most prominent past tracks. Absolutely brilliant of them to create an anthology album. The new tracks have so much variety and nuance to them, blending really well with the plethora of their discography.

    As a newer army i think this album it is the perfect to dive on their 9 year discography and enjoy the 3 new songs plus the born singer witch is not new to the bts army world. This album is the proof off what BTS are capable for and what made them one off the greatest bands in our generation.

    This album is so special. It contains they journey from debut to this date and they said that this is the end of their first chapter. And of course the best is yet to come.
    Run BTS is my fav so far, the rock hiphop track with that guitar riffs oh I'm obsessed.
    Go get a listen and you won't get dissapointed.

    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.

    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.
