    Une masterpiece. Cette anthologie retrace parfaitement le parcours effectué par les Bangtan Boys depuis leurs débuts en 2013. Outre 4 titres inédits, tous leurs titres principaux s'y trouvent (cd1), on y trouve également un titre solo pour chacun des membres ainsi que des subunits et des démos (cd2 et 3).

    A great album that walks listeners (ARMY and casual listeners and the GP) about the story of BTS. Their story is in the songs, and it's a great introduction for those who are new, and it's a walk down memory lane for long-time ARMYs! It shows the artistry and musical intelligence of the group, and it shows how BTS has grown and matured but at the same time stayed true to who they are andA great album that walks listeners (ARMY and casual listeners and the GP) about the story of BTS.

    One of the best Anthology albums. It's a reflection of their 9 year career where they broke world records and set new paths in the history of pop music. The collection of songs show bts's versatility as artists ranging from hiphop to pop ballads. Their 3 new songs are them reminiscing and setting up their future in music. BTS never fails to impress.

    I LOVE this album. First of all, I think it takes a lot of courage to release your own demos in an Anthology album. This shows how vulnerable and sincere you are when you're crafting your art.

    This album is absolutely immaculate. It clearly shows the past, present, and future of BTS. And I get chills every single time I listen to Yet to Come. It's such a profound song that makes me excited of what's in store for us and for BTS. And Run BTS is literally THAT song with vocal runs that have me going insane and the LYRCISM!! BTS proved themselves with this anthology album.

    From beginning to end - the best! Captures the 10 year journey of BTS from the early struggles to the top of the industry. Old favorites, unreleased work, demo cuts and four new songs. Cannot stop listening to Run BTS. They are bulletproof!

Of course there is an infinite amount of love BTS shows towards army and it has been conveyed in such a beautiful manner here. I'm now ready to see what's next.… Expand

The album opens up exploring the hopes and dreams that they have had in the beginning of their career, a tumultuous period with its own set of trails and tribulations. It proceeds on to highlight their love for music, their growth, their drive and their biggest career moments. It also celebrates their history and the beautiful memories and yet hope for something better to come. It then proceeds to celebrate each members individuality via the handpicked solo songs of the members as well as unreleased demo versions of older tracks by some of the members- some unfinished, some nearly completed but all raw and genuine, and authentically BTS. It then move to focus on their fans, army, and their role in the story of BTS. Proof as an anthology is an homage to what makes BTS, BTS; Music, BTS the group, the individual members, and the fans and it delivered all these beautifully.… 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.
