    One of the best albums I've ever heard. Their history since 2013 is very beautiful and the gradual evolution of the songs is noticeable both in the style and way of singing as well as in the sound, something that pleased me a lot! The new songs also fit very well, the alternative hip hop of Yet To Come allied to the sentimentality of For Youth were very well articulated.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best IS yet to come. They keep raising the bar. Love the album. The composition, lyrics, vocals- from the beginning through the 9 years of their history. Will be interesting to see their continued growth as they are on a path to continually improving (and that must be a challenge because they’re already so far ahead). Talent across the board. They obviously love music, and expressing themselves in their next chapter should be a brilliant thing to watch unfold. Looking forward to it!… Expand

    Everything BTS makes is amazing. On this album, the members have helped with writing a majority of the songs, sing multiple genres, show style and talent, and are always artistic and creative with every detail. I love the three new songs. The best part is that each one is completely different from the others but all done very well and with love for ARMY.

    Proof summarizes BTS’s 9 years of musical artistry. Yet To Come, the albums’s main track is a masterpiece that will bring you back from where BTS started to where they are today. In addition, they never forget their ARMY and dedicated a song to them entitled “For Youth” reassuring that they will be with ARMY for the rest of their life.

For people who haven’t had the fortune of living through these transitions, and for those who haven’t found the time to listen to their catalogue, this anthology album comes at a much needed time. Bops from the past, their massive hit ‘dynamite’ and a full cd of unreleased songs and demo recordings, you’re in for a rode that’ll make you fall in love with their music; not to mention the three new songs. Yet to come is the proclamation that they haven’t forgotten their roots and that at the end it’s all about their love for music. Run BTS is undoubtedly one of their best songs. I won’t say anything else, you’ll have to listen to the masterpiece yourself to understand it. For Youth is a fan anthem and in classic bangtan style, the boys declare their love and adoration for the ARMY. All in all, this album is a wild ride, one which i would choose any given day.… Expand

    This anthology gives the listener a front row seat to the amazing 9 year journey that is the career of BTS. The third disc is illuminating to their creative process and the 2nd shows the individual members’ tastes and the wide variety in the group’s discography.

    Fantastic Anthology album with the addition of 3 brand new songs that if you have been a fan will bring you through your emotions. Yet to come brings us through their journey of artists with the promise of more to see in the future, followed by getting hyped up by run BTS to bring your right back into your feels with For Youth.

    I have enjoyed listening to this Album. The lead single Yet to Come takes you through the years of BTS. For me who just started listening to Kpop in 2019, I have been impressed by their growth. BTS music is inspiring snd speaks to issues that I hold dear.

    This anthology album is both iconic and nostalgic. Carrying BTS' greatest music in a package, it delivers a powerful message of their growth as an artist. You will surely enjoy exploring the album's different topics, colors, moods, and genres. It is an album that screams BTS in all of its diverse and top-quality glory.

Este Álbum antológico incluye los 3 nuevos sencillos del grupo: "Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)", "Run BTS" y "For Youth", y además, "Born Singer"; un cover que gráfica sus primeros días de debut y días de trainee, que sólo estaba disponible en soundtrack y youtube (escrito, porsupuesto por ellos mismos). En este álbum puedes ver los propios pensamientos, emociones e historias del grupo: su pasión por la música, su afecto mutuo, su lucha constante, sus preocupaciones, sueños y dudas, que han tenido durante toda su carrera, pero también puedes conocer, en el CD 3, versiones de canciones que en su momento estuvieron a punto de incluirse en los álbumes, en las que los miembros trabajaron, pero finalmente no se incluyeron, lanzando las versiones ya conocidas.

    An excellent end to the first chapter of their career, Proof is a recap of BTS’ work over the past 9 years alongside three new songs. The album brings you through their debut to the present day, and is truly proof of their passion for music and the success they’ve rightfully garnered over the years.

Surprised - especially by Cypher PT.3: Killer! Of the new songs I am particularly in love with Run BTS. I found the lyrics in Intro: Persona to be at I level I haven’t seen often. I throuroughly enjoy the sound of Singularity and Jamais Vu. But the song that really left an imprint was Spring Day. The music sounded heartbreaking yet hopeful - the lyrics were very relatable (and to be honest, I think I really needed this). Can’t wait to see what else BTS has in store and where they go as artists. A definite recommendation from this Dane!… 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.
