Everyone participates in the songwriting , and besides the music, they worked producing the MV, the costumes, among others ... which is something incredible, because BTS always excels, because they are their own parameter. The artistic view that bangtan has with music and with her preparation, it’s something incredible whether you like it or not, people have to recognize the dedication and talent. As an army, I couldn't help saying how much they and this album was important to me. The relationship between BTS and their fandom, is unique.… Expand

Fly To My Room is a calm sound with incredible lyrics. Blue & Grey hits right home. It's emotional, relatable, yet comforting. Telepathy is where the album becomes brighter. Dis-ease is an old school hip-hop track with an impressive bridge. Skit is them celebrating their first #1 on the billboard hot100. Stay is an edm tack with incredibly emotional yet relatable lyrics. And Dynamite is of course our favorite global hit.

    Álbum pessoal e coeso, que transborda sentimentos. Começa calmo com Life Goes On, passa pela melancolia de Blue & Grey fazendo uma virada perfeita para atingir o ápice com dynamite. Fora a sonoridade maravilhosa de Telepathy e Dis-aese, que lembra os anos 70 e 90.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very cohesive, felt like a story of how our pandemic lives went. Wondering when it will end, spending time in our rooms, feeling gloomy and trying to find happiness, missing our loved ones, having conflicted feelings about work, remembering the lessons we learnt and feeling reassured about the people still with us. The gloomy songs and upbeat songs divided by the skit where they themselves were happy. A great collection of what this year showed us. People like them went through the same things as we did.… Expand

    I'm not much knowledgeable about the technicalities of music but even if I was I believe no flaw could deter the absolute comfort this album brought to me. It spelled out each of my emotions during this pandemic and offered me release. This is what music is supposed to be.

    English is my third language so i can't express my thoughts that well, But this album is really wonderful, The album as a whole has such a deep meaning, Like a letter of hope, It contains a message that even during those dark times, Life goes on, So let's live on.

    "BE" has a total of 7 tracks and a skit (which is their conversations when they achieved the number one on the billboard hot 100 chart with dynamite), the songs are quite diverse, about different emotions, expressing different feelings, one of my favorites is called "BLUE & GREY" which is an acoustic ballad song&has a darker message, Like the member V said, "Blue and grey are the colors that represent the feelings of depression and anxiousness", "i just wanna be happier, melt me cold, my numerous hands, colorless echo, oh this ground feels so heavier, i am singing by myself, i just wanna be happier, is this a big greed?"
    While on the other hand, The tittle track "life goes on" is about healing and providing consolation during this pandemic.
    -"Fly to my room" is the second track on the album, I believe Its about how staying indoors due to the current situation made them think of travelling in a different way, and How the idea of travelling will change.
    -Telepathy, the 5th track. Is a disco pop song, which is really fun but the lyrics has a deep meaning, Its about the moments with their fans ARMYS and how their happiest moment is when they're with us just how the lyrics says "out of the days that are the same every time, I'm happiest when i meet you"
    -The 6th track, "Dis-ease" same as telepathy its has a hiphop vibe but the lyrics are so touching, "everybody's got a lot of bottles (which is a korean wordplay, it can also mean illness) human beings are inherently ugly, 400 more cases of heart disease, it's not a lot of people who can, but it doesn't. Yoo, is it the world or me that's sick? Is it just a difference in interpretation?" "Sick and tired, but i dont wanna mess up 'cause life goes on".
    -The 7th song on the album "Stay", explained by Jungkook : "unit by JK RM and JIN. Its a house genre and a song i participated in composing. The meaning of the song is even when we are apart, we always stay together"
    -The last track is their latest record-breaking disco pop single, Which got included in the album "Dynamite".
    "BE" might be my favorite BTS's album! It's a rollercoaster of different emotions. A masterpiece.    … Expand

    An album of short length feels just enough to convey powerful mid-quarantine messages from this group of genuine artists. Every song has an underlying piece of them: contemplating, longing, hoping, reminiscing, reaching for happiness and enjoying life by appreciating simplicity, as hard as it is during a global pandemic. Definitely a comforting album, perfect for the present time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's adorable, the portrayal of each letter meticulously composed in the BANGTAN (BTS) style. I must emphasize that I am really picky when it comes to an album, and BE has the perfect listing of criteria that stuck. The vocabulary of the songs is honest and comforting, and a crude form of expression, like the example of Blue & Gray, are individual feelings in which you will be able to identify yourself, it is a poetry for the intimate, Vincentian and casual. The BTS Album BE is like an escape valve from limitation, they do not describe the good part in a utopically superficial way, it is honest and realistic, it is more comforting, adverse beyond imagination. This room is too small To fit my dream (yes) Landing on the bed Here is the safest place Happiness, sadness, whatever emotion is This place simply accepts them Sometimes this room becomes an emotional dump He hugs me Fly to my room - BTS… Expand

    BE is the album in which BTS's sound crosses over to cement the type of legacy they're building – one that started in youth and is very proudly Korean, but that makes sense for any age or place.

    Deciding to reflect on states of mind some of us could resonate to – especially this year – BE serves as a chronicle of what 2020 has been during lockdown: a year of uncertainty, anxiety, depression and frustration. But it also delivers hope for the future.
