Including crowd party favorites and sentimental soothers, this anthology does a good job of offering the PROOF its title points to. By turns nostalgic and hard-edged, there's literally something here for everyone. The newest entries into their pantheon of work, 'Yet To Come', 'Run BTS' and 'For Youth' show the maturity and confidence gleaned from nine years spent as literally the hardest working band in the business. As a special treat they've even pulled back the curtain to let us in on the process with a few unreleased demos and alt versions of fan faves that can ONLY be heard on the physical CD. (Time to dust off those Boomboxes, folks!) From start to finish, PROOF is a treasure trove of gems that shouldn't be missed!… Expand

    A beautiful selection of all their best music, a journey through their 9 years together. The title track Yet To Come is poignant and gives so much hope, while giving throwbacks to past eras. I love the album.

    This ALBUM is the story of BTS and it's beautiful! Listeners can follow their journey, which starts with 7 kids meeting through their love of music and dance! Together they have become a global supergroup with THE most diverse fandom to exist! Their music & message is the glue!

    This album is a testament to how far they have come. It’s a masterpiece, from Yet To Come, Run BTS and For Youth. The older songs relay a story that needed to be told that new and old fans alike will love. If someone had told me Jin recorded a song in English, I would not have believed them. Epiphany on Disc 3 is absolutely breathtaking. Buy the album, you will not regret it.

The new songs Born Singer, run bts, yet to come and for youth all are different from one another making you wonder at their versatility of them as artists. From singing about how they are just young kids dreaming of making it, how they believe they were born to be singers in "Born singer" to expressing their gratitude towards their fans Armys for sticking with them through the years in For Youth, this album creates a nice story line of their journey. Run BTS speaking about their struggle and a promise of creating more music and, that this is not their best in the song "Yet to come" in between makes you go through various emotions. This album is just a masterpiece.… Expand

    This album is so legendary!
    The three new songs are amazing but Yet To Come is my favorite! Yet to come made me cry several times the lyrics and BTS voices are so beautiful. My favorite part in the song Yet To Come is Namjoons rap verse it makes me want to cry I don’t know why. I guess it makes me think about how much of a great person he is and how hard he worked to get the group where    This album is so legendary!

    My other favorite part is the outro. BTS has an amazing vocal line and they really did amazing in the outro. The lyrics really really touch my heart during that part.
    My least favorite part is when the song ends. It’s one of those songs that I want to go on forever and ever.    … Expand

    The anthology album with demos and songs were amazing. BTS once again proved why they're the biggest band and A class musicians. By the way they reminiscing their bittersweet past of 10 years in just 5 mins shows how much they've grown. I'm so proud of them. This album really proved that they're bulletproof

    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.
