    Proof has everything you can wish for. From their older songs, that are great, to the newer ones, also great. And also, three new tracks, bangers, too. And the hidden tracks, CD only, are awesome.

    A great Anthology Album for ARMY and soon to be ARMY. Why? With this Abum you can follow their journey, see their growth and their musical variety. There so much here. Take your time, follow the sidetrack and then comeback here. Proof is exactly that.... Proof why BTS is so great, mesmerizing and enchanting. It is all there. Just have look.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been listening to these guys music for about 7 years now. Almost every track in this anthology album I've heard before but it still hits the same. That's how good their music is.... Discovering them without any prejudice was the best decision… Expand

    It is an anthological album, so it has the boys' entire music journey, as well as a chronology and 3 more unreleased songs. It's an excellent album that anyone who hears it will fall in love with. it has all kinds of genres, from the most agitated and energetic to the calmest and softest. the boys really did an amazing job.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll have to say, I’m so glad that their older songs are finally getting recognized. As a Permission to Dance era Army, I might have gotten into the fandom because of Butter, but I stayed -among other many reasons- because of their previous works. I highly recommend -as Nam said- to listen to it in the intended order. Is a wonderful experience, since you get to appreciate their amazing evolution. This is the first time I hear an album with 0 skips. All songs are true masterpieces. And, of course, totally worth the experience of buying a physical copy, which is something I haven’t done in years. As a “baby” Army, I couldn’t think of a better way to start my BTS collection. And for GP, hope you can give yourself the chance to really know what BTS is about, beyond the good and well known “Butter” and “Dynamite”. Spoiler alert: you might be surprised…and also might really like it… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank you Bangtan Sonyeondan for another amazing album. As expected, high-quality work. Listening & watching the MV of "Yet To Come" makes me nostalgic. It feels like time-traveling & concluding the storyline (Bangtan Universe) to transition to Chapter 2. It is not the end but a gracious beginning. The other new songs like the hype song, "RUN BTS" is wild. We didn't see this coming. ARMY are surprised. "Born Singer is", another classic that is finally released on CD/all platforms. This song always makes me cry. And of course, the intimate song for the ARMYs, "For Youth." This album was an intimate gift to us, their ARMY (fans). I am forever in awe of this level of relationship of BTS with the ARMYs. PROOF album encompasses their passion & hard work - blood, sweat & tears to make such amazing music that moves a lot of people of all ages, races, gender identities, etc I know we are only starting...the best yet to come. Those who give RED marks on this album haven't touched the album yet - even hear 1 song or read the LYRICS. In the end, ARMY knows how precious this album is - 9 years PROOF of passion, love, and hard work that is meaningful and nostalgic for us. This album is a treasure.… Expand

    this album is proof of how hard BTS have worked to get where they are. The title track Yet To Come is nostalgic song which walks with you towards the future of BTS and ARMY together. This album is a great way to get to know some of the best BTS songs, including title tracks from their previous albums in cd 1, b-sides that the members chose in cd 2, and on cd 3 are demos and unreleased songs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is amazing!! The songs make me feel so many emotions..the lyrics are so touching and relevant! The message they wish to portray is clear - that they do not care about the expectations and opinions of the warped industry...they're just 7 men who love music with their hearts and wish to reach out to people all over the world with their music and that they'll continue doing so! Also, there are lines and a whole song specially for us ARMY, their fans! They convey their love for us while telling that they will also keep going on with us and that we have yet to experience so many more amazing and memorable moments together. It feels like a promise between BTS and ARMY and that just makes me feel even closer to them … Expand

    É um álbum incrível. Eu como fã penso muito sobre a carreira deles, e poder ter um album com músicas de toda sua carreira me orgulha demais. Eles são petistas incríveis e suas músicas sempre são tocantes e alegram a vida de quem ouve sem preconceito.

    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.
