    PROOF is an amazing anthology album by BTS. They include their greatest hits from the past, showcasing their range, added a few new tracks, and even dedicate a whole CD of demos and other new songs to their fans, ARMY. This album sounds so personal with the new songs that are about the boys themselves but also about ARMY. I love it so much!

Proof weaves a great chronological display of their work. BTS were underdogs in the industry and when their debut song was released, even they questioned if they belonged in the industry. So, I think its beautiful that they open up the anthology with Born Singer, right before No More Dream, their debut song. Born Singer, an old track they never previously released on albums, will provide the framework for you: This is BTS and they fought hard for their rightful place in the music industry. BTS fans know that fighting hard also means to simply love sharing music with the world. In fact, the majority of the tracks were written and co-written by BTS and showcase their feelings over 9 years. CD1 features their title tracks. CD2 features meaningful songs selected by each member. CD3 features demo or alternate versions of a few of their tracks. Some of the demos sound so different from the released version that one could almost think they are entirely new songs. New songs were included, written with their fans in mind - the BTS ARMY. It was even stated by BTS that their ARMY is “proof” of their success. So, Proof means two things here, right? The Proof album is proof of BTS’ talent and proof of their fans’ support. Highly recommend giving it a listen!… 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.

    Every single new track is so unique, their range is truly mindblowing. I don't know how BTS keep levelling up with every single release but they do, they really do. And this time they're actually admitting that their best is yet to come. This anthology is great for newer fans and casual listeners to understand their whole story and journey as artists and will make many appreciate thwir artistry.

    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.
