    This album is great entry point for people who are interested in learning about BTS, but intimidated by their huge discography. They give you a retrospective of their career, some great new songs, and some “behind the scenes” stuff to give you an idea who they are. It’s also the latest in a long line of love letters to their fans, who cherish everything as a gift from the heart.

It's them wrapping up the first chapter of their youth. I can't wait to see what happens in the future while listening to the encapsulated past.… Expand

Starting this album with the sample of ,born sinner, titled , born singer‘ and walking the listener trough all the different eras is just iconic. The titletrack of the album is just fitting. Also the other two new songs are just perfect. One sang for their fans starting with a concert audio sang by their fans and the other one brings just so much energy and shows how powerful they are. The second CD contains solo songs and b-sides which also fit perfectly in this anthology album.
    These guys truly know how to make a really good album.    … Expand

    What an absolute banger of an album. It shows how diverse BTS musicality can be, as there is a song for every taste if you can leave your prejudice. They have been such a positive influence in the lives of many, and this is precisely why people join their journey as a group.

    The anthology is fantastic and a great overview of their career whether you are ancient army, baby army or just now learning about BTS discography for the first time.

    FWIW, Run BTS watered my crops, cleared my skin, my depression and anxiety are gone and I'm hydrated to the max.

I think starting their anthology album with “born singer”, a song that talks about their longing and passion for music but also the hardships that that loves comes with, and ending it with “for youth”, a song dedicated to ARMY thanking them for their undying support and also, in a way, it being a testament to how far we have come as fans and artists.. yeah that was a good creative choice if I’ve ever seen one.
    Yet to come is a beautiful rendition to all the hard wok BTS has put over the years and to their unwavering love for their craft. You cannot make it this far if you don’t love what you do. Run bts is absolutely my new favorite song. simple as that. And as for all their other tracks, starting from the very beginning to their most recent ones, I can only say bts discography is absolutely amazing and versatile and I’ll probably never get tired of it. Thank you BTS for this beautiful and nostalgic album and for all your hard work. It really paid off.    … Expand

That this has been just the first chapter of their music life, and the best is still not achieved. Run BTS is a personal favourite. The hiphop track tales me back to their debut era songs mostly, and talks about their struggles, and that they'll keep running through every problem they come across. For Youth is for their dedicated fanbase. It starts of with a tune only dedicated armys would understand and never fail to cry, it's just a very beautiful memory for us. Born Singer was earlier released one year into their career. Sampled from J. Cole's Born Sinner, this song is about their passion for music and wish to prove themselves. And they finally prove themselves, through proof.… Expand

You'll see what kind of band they are: passionate, cheerful, lovely and always honest with their listeners.

    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.
