    Thank you BTS for saving 2020 for me. This album is amazing, brings comfort and joy. The tittle track embraces you and the lyrics describes perfectly the situation we are all in. Blue and grey is a therapy for me, the melody and theirs voices really confort me. The skit is amazingly put in the middle as a transition for the more uplift part of the album.

Telepathy such a BOP, giving me Daft Punk vibes, Min Suga a genius producer, always bringing something new to the table. The transition between Stay - Dynamite SO WELL DONE! Stay gives us so much energy, makes you wanna dance, and the vocals, WOW. The album ends with the SOTY Dynamite. PERFECTION!… Expand

    Em "BE" o grupo sul-coreano consegue, com suas 8 músicas, transmitir sentimentos genuínos de felicidade, tristeza, frustração, solidão. Extremamente delicado e intimista, é, sem dúvidas, um dos maiores marcos na carreira do BTS enquanto artistas.

They briefly revisited it with black swan which in my opinion was a huge loss because that song was incredible their most visually and conceptually stunning release since ly:tear but the rollout of the single was horrific so it underperformed unfortunately and again with their track UGH! In mots7 a huge miss to expand their audience beyond armys and the pop genre if they actually promoted it in the US where rap is the top genre and im aware some army's will be mad and call me a fake fan but its already reflecting in the charts as its only been 1 day and BE is already dropping ....BTS needs to revisit their roots go back to dark n wild and take inspiration from the oldschool bangtan we all fell in love with… Expand

Their emotions of helplessness, fear, uncertainty of not knowing if everyone they love will be alright, whether if they can take back the time they lost, whether they can see ARMY again, all these feelings are embedded preciously in each track. If one cannot take the time to read the lyrics, they should not even review this beautiful album. I hope everyone who listens to this album can hear and feel these emotions, because most importantly, life goes on, which is what BTS focused on. Bring the negativity, because it means BTS will be even more successful.… Expand

    Quando ouvi esse álbum logo nas três primeiras músicas no comecei a chorar e perguntar porque estava chorando. Não sabia se era de tristeza ou felicidade, mas depois comecei a sorrir e a dançar. Simplesmente incrível. BE é uma terapia em forma de música.

    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.
