    I love it, bts never disappointed. This made me very nostalgic, made me remember all the good times with the old songs, and yet to come was a perfect massage. The best is yet to come.

    BTS anthology album title track is how they wrap up their Chapter 1 (9years), the used to be underdog artist just run and run to deliver their message/lyric despite all the mock and hate...their music genre is so vast that it goes from hiphop/rap, pop, rock, R&B, disco, ballad, EDM. No wonder they are still one of the many artist that sell out albums during this digital era.

    This album is beautifully created with tracks that amazingly tells BTS story and journey since debut. Proof album is like a walk on desert and ocean since BTS didn't shy away from their hardships but instead embrace it and use it as their inspiration to push harder. The tracks are smartly selected by the members themselves to be shared to other especially to their fans, ARMY'S.

    Only 9 years into their career they've done everything some musicians took decades to do still with as much care and attention to detail like during their debut. It's truly amazing what these boys can achieve, and Proof is their proof, it's self explanatory.

    Now, people who are new to BTS, this album is the great way to start your BTS Army story. This anthology album will give you an immense understanding of why Army and BTS are so protective of each other and why Army will always support BTS. For me, the album was not something I expected, it goes beyond it. The first time I listened to the album when it was released, it made me cry so much because they have grown so much , not age or fan growth but their musicality. When you listen to Proof album, you can tell this by yourself. You just have to enjoy BTS music without biasness.
    BTS music was something I didn't think I needed until I heard it. There's a line in Army fanbase "BTS comes in to your life, when you need them." It means that there's no right time of stanning BTS or listening to their music, when you found BTS it means you needed them. Many people found BTS when they needed them, I hope others can someday also find BTS.    … Expand

Hearing Born Singer in 2022 is just something else, they've come so far, they're been through a lot. Yet they're still holding on. One quick note i want to say to you non-bts fan, please don't quick to judge. Try to listen at least one songs. Even better if you try to give this album a chance bcs god this album really speak about how bts grow musically and also showing their growth as a person… Expand

    Starting an anthology album with Born Singer, with lyrics describing their dreams and aspirations of becoming bigger, and looking back at what they went through to finally be on stage, performing for their fans, for me is a statement of their humble beginnings but with a very strong will to get where they are now.

BTS provided the fans with a look-back on each era, with their hits and B-sides, and with demos, an intimate gift for true fans of their music to show the rough start and unpolished BTS. I am happy to hear their demos because it is a proof that they are very involved in writing/producing their music. They will share their melodies, even with lyrics that doesn't make sense, just to get the flow of what will work and what will not work as a melody in a particular part of a song. What a great concept that is. This is truly Bangtan Sonyeondan's proof and reflection of why they are great performers/artists. For Youth, the last song in the album, is a song that is truly heart-warming. It is like a warm hug for their fans who believed in them, who made BTS to believe on themselves, knowing they have that kind of strong support from their listeners. I applaud BTS for choosing great songs in the album.… 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.
