    Tip: It is worth your money! This album surpassed fadpinks recycled music! This album is so emotional and doesn't contain any bada ding bada boom boom boom! Proof is a good example of good and quality music, buy it. Don't listen to the blinks in the reviews, they only listened to trash music their whole life so they are just pressed.

    An anthology that show the range of BTS music. With old time favorites, new songs and the never heard before demos on cd3. BTS never disappoint, Proof confirm it. It close a chapter, 9 years of an amazing career. I can't wait to see what they'll do for the next chapter!

From the lyrics we get to know the artist thought about their success so far and how they believed they haven't changed at all and they are still the same people that fell in love with music all those years ago.

    Proof is the first anthology album BTS releases in their 9 years career including 3 brand new tracks.

First CD includes their past title tracks and explains how Korean band became the global phenomenon. Listeners can travel in time from their past to present from Born Singer to Yet To Come which are both excellent choices to start and finish the first CD pointing out BTS' past and future vision. Born Singer which uses J Cole's iconic Born Sinner song as sample brings soothing vocals and brilliant rap together confronts audience with members' concerns on their future, while Yet To Come focuses on a hopeful message for their future. Yet To Come which is the title song of the album definitely deserves its title role which show case members' versatility in singing and rapping, smoothly giving out the hopeful message for their future. CD 2 includes Run BTS which is already one of fans' favorite and also members' own choices (one solo and one unit song for each member). Members also explained why they choose these certain songs in short videos which again shows that they are top tier musician and have clear visions on their art. CD 3 includes unreleased songs and demos which can only be heard in physical CD as well as new fan son For Youth. For Youth uses instrumentals so well that you can almost feel yourself at a BTS concert enjoying the talent of the members. BTS cleverly uses the power of physical only releases to communicate with their fans, sharing their most vulnerable moments. Overall, I recommend this album to everyone, thinking that anyone can find something they'll enjoy. I conclude with saying BTS' best is yet to come.… Expand

    Proof which is an anthology album released by the biggest boy band in the world in 2022 is an album that celebrates their success as a band for 9 years. It contains 3 CDs and 6 new songs the title track of which is 'Yet to come' that in my opinion deserves every award there is!!!

    This album is a great summary if their 9 years career. Listening to it is just an enjoyable no skip journey. There are a lot of easter eggs throughout the lyrics and so much more with the song's accompanying mv. This can guarantee anyone who wants to enjoy a great range of genres. 10/10 will listen again even after many years.

Disc 3 contains various demo versions of released BTS songs and the new song For Youth which features audio from BTS’ sold out shows at Wembley Stadium in 2019. This entire album is truly a love letter to their fanbase the BTS ARMY but it’s also a great introduction to any new or prospective fans. After listening through no one can deny the reasons why BTS are the biggest group in the world. I truly hope you will have an open mind and give it a try.… Expand

    everything about this album is so perfect. they never fail to make amazing songs. this is a very biased opinion but honestly if you don't find the album interesting then just accept that this comeback is not for you. this album is some kind of anniversary celebration, for both bangtan and armys so no. you are not invited to the party.

    As a baby ARMY I really loved this album x I really got to kinda enjoy the old eras of BTS while welcoming Chapter 2 of the BTS story. Bought both versions of the album (still waiting for the standard one to be delivered) and the compact one is so pretty and nice and I just now the standard version will be even better.

    Truly a great album for any person to listen to, fan or not, that encapsulates BTS’ career and musical spectrum. Hit after hit with three new absolute banging tracks as well as a remastered song. The demos, unfortunately not on streaming platforms, also show their creativity and how much they have fun with the process of making music. Great stuff!

    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.
