    A really good summary of their career so far. Proof is a must for anyone curious about BTS discography. All of BTS’s universal hits and important songs in their journey complemented by 3 new brilliant tracks.

    I have been a fan for 7 years and this album is so special for all the armys. It tells a story, a story of their growth, their hardships and their success and it’s very close to our hearts.

It tells a story, a story of their growth, their hardships and their success and it’s very close to our hearts. In Yet to come song they are conveying the message of how everyone keeps telling them they were the best, but they honestly think their best is yet to come and they are just a bunch of men who love music and will work hard for it. It has a lot of references to all the other songs they released in the past. For non armys it might not make sense without understanding all those songs, but the song can still be enjoyed on its own. It’s a song that is breaking a lot of records BTS hols as a Korean act! Run bts is a complete bop song. Listen to it once and you will know why the fans are crazy over it. It’s raw, powerful, wild and so so addictive. It proves how bts b-side songs are never to be over looked and they prove that with every album. Please stop paying all the trolls here who will never get real music from their fav any attention. Stream proof and BTS, listen to all their songs without any preconceived notions about them or biases and you will see how genuine these guys are and how much they care about music.… Expand

This is also a way to go back and listen to their old songs especially to their new fans who haven't discovered yet the diversity of BTS discography. I love how the three new songs tells us the story of their journey from the start till now and how important their fans are to their success. It's like telling everyone that every achievement they made, it's because army's are behind them and always supporting them. Overall the new songs are good and brings happiness to the listeners.… Expand

    It's sad to see how much BTS has been going down every year, PROOF is a dull album, the only average song is RUN BTS and it still ends up being sickening, 35 songs and only 3 unreleased, I can't accept that like it's a good thing.

É impressionante como apesar do tempo e dos diferentes gêneros, diversidade musical e estilos que exploraram em um grupo de sete pessoas diversas e multi talentosas eles conseguiram criar uma identidade que é só deles desde os primeiros anos, e isso só foi se refinando a medida que amadureceram. As músicas novas são tão boas, e tão representativas desse álbum. A title Yet to come nós faz lembrar músicas como Spring Day, Cristal Snow, dentre outras que pegam fundo na gente, ao mesmo tempo, sua letra reflete sobre os anos passados e promete que esse é apenas o começo, há ainda muito mais que o BTS quer mostrar. Run BTS, é uma banger da maneira que só o BTS entrega, com vibrações de We are bulletproof, Mic Drop e Boyz with fun, é uma música divertida que nos deixa ansiosos por uma coreografia poderosa, For Youth é uma música para o os fãs e isso quando se fala em BTS é um gênero a parte, com representantes como 2!3!, We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal e outras mais, ela ecoa o amor recíproco e poderoso de BTS e Army, essa ainda é a porta voz de um cd extra do álbum apenas disponível no físico que conta com demos e músicas descartadas, algo que só um army teria intimidade suficiente pra entender suas escolhas e mensagens, e histórias contadas.… Expand

    The anthology album is special because it shows the extent and intensity of BTS’ artistry since debut. Listening to the album from the start to finish, you are presented with a story of growth, of passion, of exploration, and of maturity, by the septet. Who are seven but move as one. You can’t help it to be impressed and understand why BTS is where they are today.

    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.
