    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really love this album. First, born singer as the starting of the album is a genius idea, i never thought that one day it'll be included in one of their album, the song is making you very emotional from the start. Then listening to all their title track chronologically really put you in the mood of the album, they represent each different era so it bring a lot of memory from the song that used to be the most played in my playlist the past years. The three new song are excellent, the lead single "yet to come" is really good, from the ballad melody to the hopefull lyrics, the vocal and rap line did a very good job, its followed by "run bts" which became my fav song at the moment and one of their best. The second half of the album is like a surprise gift, i dont know whats waiting for me since its very random from their discography. Its end w/ a fan song "for youth" and i love it.… Expand

    This album is nostalgia in its purest form. It shows BTS diversity and musical talent very well. CD 3 is a true gem: it contains (among other things) unreleased demo-versions of some of their songs.
    The members of BTS are truly one of the most talented musicians of the 21st century.

    All of the songs on this album are honestly amazing. Yet To Come reflects on their past, Run BTS is an ass shaker, and For Youth is for Army’s. BTS loves us so much and their music just helps prove it. Like have you heard for youth? They literally wrote that for us. I love them and this album so much

    For a group to be able to make an anthological album it really needs to have a giant baggage and the BTS has demonstrated that it possesses this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album shows how wide their musical skills and knowledge are , putting 9 years In one album is a good way to look back. Their songs have different types of genres that no matter if the listener is old or young , love to dance or love classical even hip-hop and ballad , they cater everything. They started from the bottom and worked their way up and this album is the evidence of those struggles , those tears , those fears but also their growth , passion , laughter and their love and care for one another. This album is their story , it's their evidence and it's their PROOF. I'll treasure this album forever just like how I treasure BTS … Expand

    PROOF is one of the best albums to come out of this decade. It perfectly encases the elements of nostalgia and contemporary music showcasing their capability as artists. They displays their talent and range varying from soft ballads to heavy hip-hop and rock influenced songs. This is artistry at it's peek.

    Songs from their previous albums are here. Songs that I love already. And there is Born Singer, a cover (sorry if it's not the proper word) that I always love from BTS. So raw of their passion as singer and artist. We used to get this only on Soundcloud and video uploaded by fans on YT. I'm thrilled that everyone will be able listen to it easily because it's included in Proof now.

    3 news songs that are available on all platforms. Yet To come, Run BTS, and For Youth are all amazing. I'm so proud of them for putting Yet To Come as their tittle track since it's so meaningful. The lyrics and mv are so beautiful and meaningful for Army. It's the perfect song to wrap their first chapter. And then For Youth. Have you ever feel so loved by artist that you love? This is the first time I experience this. For Youth is the best gift one could give me, and BTS did that. So beautiful, still tearing up everytime I listen to it. Awesome vocals, one of the best Bangtan songs for me. And then Run BTS. Wow. Sexy, groovy, and rocking your soul lol It gives you the sexy feeling like you're on top of the world. Love it! All three songs make me proud of them. They still have 2 more new songs, and demo version of their previous songs, which is so eandearing to listen to. Epiphany Jin version still gives you the goosebumps because of his still beautiful soul. Tony Montana is finally here. And Still With You acapella? Man, that will surely blow your mind. Jungkook's beautiful, raw voice. Demos, and the other 2 songs, will be available on cd only. Remind us ARMY that they set this up so much as a special gift for us. So proud of them for this album. One of my best buy.
    If you're not their fan before, you won't regret to listen to this album. This will show you thair rich discography. If you ever wonder what is it about BTS that make millions fall for, this album will be your answer.    … Expand

    The perfect summary of their career so far, 9 beautiful years spent running harder than anyone. You've worked hard! I can't stop listening to Run BTS, it's my favourite on the album. Makes me get up and dance every time I listen and I think it's the kind of song we all need to have stuck in our heads once in a while. Give it a listen if you haven't, there are no skips on this one.

    Proof is truly an amazing album. Have always known that bangtan are talented musicians but this album and every other album before is the proof for it and this album's name is even more perfect considering the fact that its an anthology one. People with open minds please listen to it and then comment.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this anthology. From Born Singer until For Youth, the story flowed so well. I love Yet To Come as that song tells their story so well from debut until what's Yet to come. Very well made album. And lastly, my jam of all jams: Run BTS. If you don't automatically start shaking your butt to this song, you may need to go see a doctor

    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.
