It's been three years since I promised not to leave them. And here I am. To see them representing every era, but as they are today is very exciting for me. So again I promise to stay until the last army bomb goes out.… Expand

    I think for any artist to release an anthology album is probably the biggest step they will make in their career as they showcase all their hits. I'm really surprised with BTS the diversity within their discography is something I didn't expect, I think it was a good choice to release this album because BTS is definitely on my radar now I will look forward to their future releases.

    I can’t stop listening, they have taken me down a beautiful lane of memories and I’m absolutely in love. Their vocals on each track and the rap line just give Ugh vibes, yes, please. Seriously I can’t wait for the next chapter. 10 out of 10 a 100 out of a 100 Respect

    A beautiful culmination of music spanning 9 years of BTS’ journey as artists. The anthology album is filled with a vast array of music perfect for music lovers of all genres.

    The three new songs are a fantastic way to end a chapter and start a new one. Yet To Come is a nostalgic view to the past and all the achievements they’ve come trough. Run BTS is a fantastic catchy hip-hop song that englobes BTS original essence, but more mature now. And For Youth is a beautiful ballad, dedicated to the people that has been with them since the very beginning: The BTS Army.The three new songs are a fantastic way to end a chapter and start a new one.

    I love the album it is a reminiscence to their old selfs but it also reflects the people they are presently. The album is significant to BTS and Army because it is a reminder that hard work pays off, people grow and that BTS has and will always create masterpieces. I am very happy that I bought it and will cherish it.

    I was looking forward to it even before this album was released....

    It's an extraordinary album....because this album tells the story of BTS' journey, hard work before or during their debut until now....
    As always BTS's work is always the best of the best.

    This album encapsulates BTS' essence in it's true form as is evident from it's very first song Born Singer which has lyrics that are deep and meaningful to the group which just started out their musical journey.

While changes are inevitableThis album encapsulates BTS' essence in it's true form as is evident from it's very first song Born Singer which has lyrics that are deep and meaningful to the group which just started out their musical journey. The new songs Yet To Come, Run BTS and For Youth all have the underlying message of showcasing the path BTS chose and the reason they do what they do. While changes are inevitable some things like BTS' love and passion for music remains same and their reason to continue on the path becomes all the more clearer. If you are interested in BTS and you want to start somewhere this is a great album to do so. There's also a CD3 that has little gifts in the form of demos, acapella and some prior unreleased songs they recorded in early years of their career.… Expand

    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.
