    This album is the “proof” of BTS’ hard work throughout their first chapter within the 10 years they’ve spent together.

    Best way to make an anthology album. A look back on the hits that made them and the reason they were loved. Also a big thank you with love for the fans who have loved them thru the years. The new songs Yet To Come, Run BTS and For Youth show all those plus how much this 7 men for South Korea have grown in their music as well as a team. music

    I really enjoyed listening to the album, as they have so many great genres, I think more people should listen to it before judging as my favorite song where run bts, yet come, and for youth. I think it was worth listening to it

Esse álbum é uma viagem no tempo contando a sua história e nos da uma noção de como eles se tornaram esse sucesso mundial que são agora. É uma homenagem aos próprios membros do grupo e sua equipe, por seu trabalho duro, e também claramente uma homenagem aos fãs de longa data (que com certeza pegaram todas as referências!!).

    Mesmo pra quem vem de fora e não pegou a trajetória completa do grupo, como eu, continua um album delicioso de se ouvir. Foi o primeiro álbum de música que comprei e estou mais do que satisfeita. Ele é poderoso, divertido, emocional e relaxante, tudo no mesmo. BTS merece todo esse prestígio que estão tendo, são figurinhas raras hoje em dia. Desejo que as pessoas abram mãos de seus preconceitos e deem uma chance pra ouvir o trabalho deles, a música supera qualquer barreira.

    i love the album so much!! it has 3 CDs which contains BTS journey throughout their music career. Must buy this album to own 3rd CD and hear the unreleased demos of some official bts songs. Absolute favorite demo is Spring Day V ver., DNA jhope ver and Epiphany jin ver.

    Honestly love how the tracklist is organized. All songs are representatives of who they are as artists and of all the things they have achieved and will achieve with their music. All three new songs are of varying sounds but are equally great. Looking forward to these seven boys' next chapter!

    Ive heard some of the songs before and they are quite good so beautifully written and composed. Run BTS song is a banger and my fav from this album. Yet to come the title track i guess might be an emotional song for the armies. Pied piper and born singer are new to me and they are so good i wish I'd heard them before. I'm attached to zero 0clock

    One of the best anthology album ever and its so personal for all us armys. From the new songs to the older ones to all the demos everything was just perfect. Born singer has been my favorite BTS track since forever and seeing it on the album with fresher voice makes me so emotional.....they have worked hard and come a long way and it reflects

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This anthology albums compiles not only BTS title songs and greatest hits that has paved a way for them to become global superstars, but allows fans (ARMYs) to reminisce 9 years of their musical journey. Proof's title track "Yet To Come" looks back on BTS musical career and declare that they're just 7 artists who love creating music. The album is broken into three separate CDs each showing a different aspects over their artistic trajectory. The first CD arranges all BTS titles tracks (with the inclusion of an official release of "Born Singer" which was originally just on SoundCloud) throughout their 9 years together showcasing a wide variety of genres. While the second CD are various songs handpicked by the members that spoke to them and their individuality. Lastly the third CD (which is not currently on any streaming platforms) is amassed from demos, unreleased works and the last song "For Youth" which begins with an insert from their fans singing along to "Young Forever" (a song that has become quintessentially meaningful to both artist and fans). Overall the album beautifully captures the last 9 years and closes the first chapter of BTS artistry with their best yet to come.… Expand

    Proof is really a beautiful Album, it is a roll coaster of emotions! Fans of dynamite and Butter era have gotten a chance to listen to the deep Lyrism of BTS and their true talent. It's a beautiful Album and have listened without skipping any song. Because each song is unique and different. I love Proof

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the best albums i’ve ever listened to. Yet To Come is so sad yet so sweet. It sounds similar to Whalien 52 in my opinion. Run BTS is so good. Everything about it is just amazing. The vocals, the rapping, etc. I’ve already memorized the entire song. For Youth is so sad but really good. It opens with BTS and Army singing Forever Young together, and that made me cry. The song is really good though. Especially the part at the end where JK says “You’re my bestfriend for the rest of my life”. Anyways I hope you like the album. I purple you … Expand

    They started 9 years ago and have special songs that new fans and locals have not heard. Now, with this album, they remind those who have not heard the old songs and turn the 9 years they spent together into a memory. Thank you for staying steadfast all these years and showing it to us.

    I'm so happy BTS did this album. It's the perfect way to show to people who discover BTS, who BTS is and what is their musical story. This album it's just a masterpiece. No lot of artist in the world can do an anthology album, BTS did it and in the best way.

    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.
