    This album was so needed during the pandemic. It gave us comfort and reflexs really well how we felt during the worst moments we had with covid. Speciall mention to "Blue and Grey" and " Disease", Diasease is in my opinion one of the best BTS songs.

    Another masterpiece. “Life Goes On” is a gorgeous track with a beautifully rendered chorus and timely eloquent lyrics. “Blue and Grey” is melancholic and gloomy, once again the vocalists deliver an incredible amount of emotion through their lines, while the rappers spot on lyricism and calm flows highlight the depression the track speaks of flawlessly. “Telepathy” and “Dis-ease” feel moreAnother masterpiece. “Life Goes On” is a gorgeous track with a beautifully rendered chorus and timely eloquent lyrics. “Blue and Grey” is melancholic and gloomy, once again the vocalists deliver an incredible amount of emotion through their lines, while the rappers spot on lyricism and calm flows highlight the depression the track speaks of flawlessly. “Telepathy” and “Dis-ease” feel more like toe tappers, but the lyrics spark introspection and meditation in the listener. “Fly Too My Room” is stripped down and feels nostalgic too listen to by the time i’m writing this review.

    By far my favorite album from BTS. Every song fits in perfectly.
    It also describes the way one felt in the middle of the pandemic, from Life Goes On that gives the message of hope for better days to Blue and Gray that describes the feelings of desperation.
    The variety of songs are also great Dis-ease is a nod to their hip-hop past, while Stay was made to jump up and down in a concert.

    "BE" foi a proposta que eles ofereceram de um pocketshow acústico muito bem coordenado; ao invés de se aventurarem com batidas complexas como exigem suas coreografias, os seven boys se permitiram coreografar os sentimentos mais serenos e acinzentados em suas letras. Deixaram um hit mundial abrir portas para outros tons além das cores fascinantes de "Dynamite".

    One of the group's most cohesive jobs, perhaps the short duration of just 28 minutes, was the key for the album to maintain a pleasant sound throughout the journey, where members lead fans to talk about problems but with a hint of hope. Finally, it remains only to absorb the messages of each song and, if necessary, press the replay and listen to everything again.

Okay, so if someone asks me what's my music taste, I would simply send them this album. First off, it has every genre possible in it. We have the acoustic feel of Life Goes On, the first track, Fly Me To My Room which is like a suave, melodic song, the slow and mellow Blue and Grey, the old school track Dis-ease, and pop music Telepathy, the EDM beauty that is Stay, and lastly, their classic funky pop song Dynamite. It's actually crazy to think that you could fit a lot of those different songs in one album, usually artists would stick to one genre when making one, so this was a pleasant surprise. Even though they were very distinct from each other, the message that the BTS guys wanted to convey was precise and clear. I've looked up English translations on Genius (since they're pretty reliable), and my favorite ones are Dis-ease and Blue and Grey. Actually, I think that if you really look up their songs and research, you'll be amazed. Amazing wordplays, that's what I notice about them. Overall, I love that this album is talking about how "life goes on" during this pandemic, but it's not toxic positivity. They're not just saying, "Be happy.", they are saying that, "you know what, this situation actually, really sucks. And what's more frustrating is that we can't do **** about it. But hey, we can just start getting our hands on things we can control, right? So even though this is **** up, we just gotta suck it up." And I think that's very comforting. Because what I feel about this pandemic is exactly like that. Also, I think that the arrangements of tracks are clever. They started off "sad" in the first three tracks, Life Goes On → Fly To My Room → Blue & Grey and then the Skit that I read was about their raw reaction about their first No. 1, and then it shifts to upbeat tracks Telepathy, Dis-ease, Stay, and Dynamite. I feel like they're saying this pandemic started off really gloomy, like the world literally shut down and people didn't know what to do, but eventually, we all started to pick ourselves up and started getting our **** together. That's what the arrangement of the album was like. I really love how they ended this with Dynamite. So yeah, it's 10/10 for me. Expand

    Amazing album! An emotional rollecoaster! From the title track "Life goes on" to "Stay" I experienced many various emotions... The lyrics is what got me though... They are some of the most thoughtful and meaningful lines I've ever read. It felt as if I was reading poetry!

BE is an exceptional display of their talents as versatile artists. “Life goes on” opens with a hopeful message and uplifting beat as the title track. The acoustic pop, ballad, “Blue & grey” brings the listener to the edge of tears with its content - overwhelming sadness, while telling the listener they aren’t alone. The funky, “Telepathy” and EDM track, “Stay” are much more fast-paced, upbeat tunes which express the band’s beautiful connection with their ARMY. The two songs also serve as a metaphor to the bright future the fans can look forward to in times of hardship. “Dis-ease” the retro themed song follows, where the boys speak of their constant need to work and produce greater things even in times of ease and rest. “Fly to my room” connects with fans by expressing a feeling of being trapped and dissociated from their surrounding yet still being comfortable in their “room”. Lastly, the show stopper, “Dynamite,” ends with one last positive reminder that hardships pass and life once again will be filled with positively and joyful moments. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The song starts with Life Goes On that lets us in the feelings we had during this pandemic and how it’s okay to feel what you are feeling now as long as you don’t give up. It’s melody is very soothing and the chorus is very catchy. Next is Fly to my room. A sub-unit by Jimin/V/Suga/J-Hope. It had a very dreamy feeling to this song as as you can see, it’s a song that based on your room and what you can still do indoors while quarantining and stuck in your room. Next is Blue and Grey. This is the heaviest song in this album and it touched more on our dark feelings that we might have felt during this pandemic and how it can be very hard for us to move on to the new normal but also feeling like you need to keep moving to keep your life moving. It feels more gloomy and depressive but the harmonisation of the vocal lines plus the rap line is just pleasing to our ears. The only non-musical one in this album is the skit. It is when they got the no.1 on the billboard Hot100 chart for the very first time with dynamite! If you want to know what they are saying , they have the full translations online. It is very personal as you can feel like you’re in the same room as them. It was quite a spectacle to hear eventhough you do not know what they are saying until you read the translations. Next up is Telepathy! This song is dedicated to BTS’s fandom, called ARMYs and how they wished that everyone is well so that we can meet each other again after the pandemic. BTS greatly respects their partners in music so you can surely hear one or 2 songs in every single album about ARMYs. The second last new song is called Dis-ease. Which means uncomfortable if you read it with the hyphen. It’s 90’s rap beats and sounds and you can hear the different styles that the boys put out for us. A very fun song! :)) Last new song is called stay. New house EDM. Really amazing club song too!! Last song on this album is the award winning Dynamite!! Expand

    The arrangement of the songs are relatable to many people especially during this pandemic. It started with how our life is stagnant, quarantine, pause activities make our life seems bland, but have no choice but to carry on. Undeniable, happiness is the most wanted gift. And that, BE end with hope, joy, ignite the mood of spring day will come to replace winter.

    It's a beautiful album when it was released, Life Goes On and Blue and Grey made me tear up (even without the english tranalation). Musoc really transcends language. My other favorite track is Dis-ease, the bridge is so awesome.

    This is an album which express the emotion of the hard time we are going through in this pandemic. They talked about how we can see us and everything around us with a new perspective. They are those kind of artist who write music the own emotion they are feeling or felt. I always love their thought and the sense of creativity they create using their lyrics.

    This is a healing album. From track Life Goes On to Stay. Blue & Grey affected me most. As their voice goes deep inside your head and it melted your heart. You need to be happier. This have been a tough year, they've really done a great job to make us smile and be happy during this time.

    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.

    Frustration and grief animate these songs, but it’s their simplicity and specificity that make them compelling.

    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.
