    Album yang membawa pendengarnya menjelajahi kreatifitas grup yg telah berkembang pesat dari debut sampai usia grup yang telah 9 tahun. The whole album at the entire career is made by artist itself, adalah yang mendefinisikan identitas mereka di antologi album mereka kali ini.

    the BEST. Full of songs from 2013 to 2022 from one of the most talented and versatile groups in the world. Some of my favorite songs are on here, and the new songs show their sincerity so well. Yet to Come and For Youth make me cry, especially For Youth that plays Young Forever in the background the whole time. Run BTS is my new anthem. Yet to Come.. I'll be crying and bopping to it every day.

    Este álbum como antología me ha dado tantos recuerdos acerca de la discográfia de BTS. Su musica ha tocado el corazon de muchas personas y nos han enamorado con muchas de sus pistas las cuales tienen sus propias letras. Más feliz no pude ser con este Álbum, compre ambas versiones, curioso como agregan sus demos que no habian salido a la luz hasta ahora, aquellos incluso son increibles!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Am not an ARMY, own no merch/posters, and have seen zero concerts/music shows. Have only heard them on the radio coz they seem huge with PTD & Butter playing for like forever so decided to check out the new album to see the hype. For the casual & curious listener like me, this album gives a quick guide on what made BTS since its inception. Their discography is varied from rap/hip-hop to ballads to pops... but their use of music & honest lyrics to relate & connect to their fans/listeners is consistent. Their 3 new songs are reflective of that: 2 ballads & 1 hip-hop. In the title track Yet To Come they don't shy from reflecting on the stratosphere that they've found themselves in now & promise that they have more to offer. Run BTS is a catchy & upbeat tune - def will be a hit & at gyms soon, and the last track For Youth is a love letter of promise & thanks to their fans.
    It was smart to have an anthology album as it allows new listeners to have a better understanding (& listen) of what/where BTS is/was. Plus it makes it impossible not to dig further into their other old albums & find other songs worthy but didn't make the cut in this latest release e.g. Mama, Microkosmos, and Paldagongsan...
    At the end of the day, I don't think I qualify as ARMY but I do have better respect for what is BTS, plus more good tunes on my playlist.    … Expand

For the old fans, it's nostalgic as it reminds them of the time they discovered BTS and went down the rabbit hole. For the newer fans it's a way to experience the excitement that is a BTS comeback. The lead single "Yet To Come (the most beautiful moment) talk about the 9 years of journey BTS and their fans have made together, with lyrics like "you and I, the best moment is yet to come." And "The past was honestly the best, but my best is what comes next" they send the message that while the career their career till now was the best, they believe that their best is yet to come. 2 new singles Run BTS and For youth, are also available on streaming platforms. The 3CD album has tracks that they've released in the past 9 years of their career.… Expand

If the 35 song long discography doesn't do it for you, the 3 new songs, Yet to Come, RUN BTS and For Youth showcases the Korean bands versatility and genre-spanning sound.

    With BTS, do take your time to dive into their lyrics. They always take us to their own relatable journey, from the humble beginning with big dreams, hardships, self acceptance & self love, to struggle with fame and success.

    And their 3 new songs perfectly encapsulated this journey: the title track "Yet To Come" is their hope to continue the journey, the hip hop track "Run BTS" is a glorious look at their run towards success and lastly, "For Youth" feels like a love letter to the fans: ARMY.    … Expand

    The three new songs are good. Run BTS is the one that shines the most among the three, and I must say that Yet To Come gets eclipsed by the other two songs despite being the title song.

    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.
