    This album is amazing and includes years of group effort.In the tracks of this album, hedeals with significant topics about human beings, personality, effort, youth problems and hope. It's a great thing. They're amazing singers. They're really born singers. The music industry needs albums like Proof that can deliver important messages around the world. Proof is a guide to a better life.

    BTS siempre ha sido una pieza maestra difícil de explicar. No hay palabras que puedan abarcar todo lo que estos siete increíbles artistas han logrado a lo largo de su carrera. Pero sin duda hicieron lo que muchos creían imposible; romper las barreras y prejuicios que existen entre culturas, géneros y edades, en base a la música y quien la escucha.

No hay palabras que puedan abarcar todo lo que estos siete increíbles artistas han logrado a lo largo de su carrera. Pero sin duda hicieron lo que muchos creían imposible; romper las barreras y prejuicios que existen entre culturas, géneros y edades, en base a la música y quien la escucha. A través de los años esta agrupación ha creado una nueva experiencia en donde todos son bienvenidos. En la mayoría de los casos se encuentran involucrados dentro del proceso creativo como compositores, productores y demás. Donde además de explorar diferentes géneros, poseen un rango de tonalidades diferentes, por medio de las cuales expresan a la perfección el dilema que representa el crecer; todos los conflictos a los que nos tenemos que enfrentar tarde o temprano y como superar cada oportunidad o tropiezo que nos arroja la vida. No hay mejor forma de explorar música nueva, que el hacerlo con la mente abierta. Y eso es a lo que este álbum invita. Puede que existan diferentes opiniones al respecto, pero es innegable el talento y esfuerzo que BTS tiene en la interpretación de su arte, que además se complementa a la perfección con coreografías y conceptos de diseño elaborados, dándole incluso más detalles a todo aquel que quiera escucharlos. Es musica sofisticada y en este punto creo que todos deberían estar dispuestos a tener una opinión más objetiva. Proof es la ingeniosa respuesta a años de trabajo y un regalo para todos.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a long term army, I waited eagerly for this album. Felt a bit disappointed when they announced that this is going to be an anthology and only 3 new songs will be released. Still, I didn't lose hope and finally it was the D-day and yet to come mv got premiered and gods that was the worst music video i have ever watched!! The song by itself was trash to the core, and thankfully hobi and joon decreased the wound by a little with their verses. We waited 2 years for this? Did the tannies lose their interest in music? I totally hated the title track but I acted cool infront of my friends so as to not to spread the negativity. Now coming on to the b-sides, 'born singer' being an old song was good. 'Run bts' was pretty much okay. For youth was bad, never liked it from the first hearing. Why did they even add all those already available songs to this album? Hybe's **** af. These are my initial thoughts. Idk this might change in a while. But the disappointment i felt is immeasurable. Im really sad. Hope the tannies get back their music tastes.… Expand

    As always, BTS go up and beyond once expectations. In a three CDs anthology they manage to retrace their entire career since 2013 to this day and showcase exactly why they achieved the title of best group in the world.

In a three CDs anthology they manage to retrace their entire career since 2013 to this day and showcase exactly why they achieved the title of best group in the world. The new title track encompasses the feelings of nostalgia for a gone past and the euphoria for what is "Yet to Come". The track "For Youth" is an evident love letter to the fandom, ARMYs, and maybe even themselves; a testament to the synergetic relationship that stays as the supporting column to their journey into fame and glory. The third and last new track in the first two CDs, "RUN BTS", is an absolute gem added to the prescious collection of hip-hop style songs with a uniquely BTSesque energy, a vibe that, to be perfectly honest, no one is able to replicate. Last but not least, the third CD, available only in physical fort, is a treasure trove of memories meant to be shared only with their close and loyal fandom; almost all the tracks are a demo version of their complete self and listening to them is not only funny but also eye-opening on the process and work of music making. Without hesitation: 10/10 album.… Expand

    This album is a perfect journey through the band's bast discography. It's great not just for old fans to reminisce and reflect but a wonderful introduction for new fans. The selection of unreleased cuts was a rare and revelatory look into their creative process.

    Amazing anthology album. A lot of songs are previously released from their discography since 2013, but the four new songs all stand out in each way.

And as per usual for BTS, they were all arranged in a way that made them pleasing to the ears and not overwhelming - and as a ND person who often struggles with too much going on in things including music, this was a huge deal. The real highlight is the 3rd CD with a lot of demo versions of songs, some behind the scenes stuff going on and tracks that didn’t have an official release - this one’s not available online so you need the CD to hear them. It really shows their process, how they write and produce (yes, THEY’RE the ones who write and produce their songs, Wikipedia always told you for free for years but this is cold hard evidence) their music and how much passion and thought is always put into the final product. It truly does live up to its name of being a “Proof”, a proof that BTS are active artists, they’ve been active since 2013 and will be in the future.… Expand

    This is such an amazing anthology album. It's truly made with army in mind because it'll take you to a trip down memory lane. It's like they came back to their roots with Run BTS, and the lead single Yet To Come is a song that will surely touch armys hearts and will make us hopefully for what is yet to come with BTS.

    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.
