And bts no they prove every day that they love what they do and I think that's amazing so they will continue to dominate everything in the years to come every year they break all the records so Stream yet to come!… Expand

    Love it. A great look at their discography from the past 9 years. Title tracks + their solo picks. The physical edition are totally worth to spend the money on. The concepts are beautiful.

    This anthology has something for both hardcore fans and new listeners - on 3 cds, you’ll find the expected excellent hits from bts that span genres, a few new songs, and a whole cd full of demos that give you a peek behind the scenes off their songwriting process. A great listen from start to finish!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
