    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hardly an album! 8 songs is definitely too short for an album. More like an EP. BTS are definitely mocking their fans. Very boring and plain tunes. Even the hit Dynamite doesnt even sound that great. With the lyrics “cup of milk lets rock and roll” it just sounds awful. Very childish… Expand

    I thought my ears could never appreciate anything of total quality, this album is everything. Thanks, these songs helped me a lot. Even if they have a lot of criticism, don't be discouraged just be very happy, because that's what they want. First listen to the songs, if you are from another country, try to find the translation, you will see that there is a lot behind each letter.

    BE is the product of artists finding comfort in their creative process. Where in Black Swan from their 2020 album Map of the Soul 7 they talk about the fear of ever losing their passion in Life Goes On and the songs from BE shows them needing music and finding joy in their creative endeavors. This album is them taking their broken heart and making it into art, and it's incredible

    Literally what the world needs right now in terms of music. The lyrics resonate deep with what's going on right now, the pandemic and quarantine, and also has a blend of genre/music styles that are pleasing to the ear. Starts off with a slow, nostalgic sound that expands into a more funky disco upbeat bop. It's amazing, album of the year along with map of the soul7. :)

    I'm very conflicted on this album. While I do love the songs, there's nothing new that we haven't heard from the septet before. The sounds of 'Life Goes On' and 'Blue & Grey' are very reminiscent of the early stages of the band's discography, such as the sounds in 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' and in 'You Never Walk Alone.'

The sounds of 'Life Goes On' and 'Blue & Grey' are very reminiscent of the early stages of the band's discography, such as the sounds in 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' and in 'You Never Walk Alone.' The songs 'Fly To My Room' and 'Telepathy' could easily be on the tracklist of 'Love Yourself: Her' and I wouldn't notice. 'Dis-ease' is very similar to the bouncy 'HOME' in 'MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA' and 'Stay' is basically the second part of 'So What' in the mellow but contradictory 'Love Yourself: Tear.' And yet, I still love this album. I still love the septet's sound. I can't help but sing to the final distorted notes on 'Life Goes On' and I can't help but dance in my chair to 'Dis-ease' and 'Telepathy.' But in the end, I was just very underwhelmed after hearing this for the first time. I was waiting for more. Sure, this is an EP with barely thirty minutes of music but honestly, I've seen MANY other EP's just as short as this one be more exploratory and miles ahead in lyricism and production (for example, 'RINA' by Rina Sawayama and 'M3LL155X' by FKA twigs, just to name a few). I know BTS can do better and I know the boys are amazing producers and songwriters. They have produced and wrote heartfelt and heartBREAKING songs, such as 4 O'Clock (a duet between RM and V) and House of Cards (a quartet featuring the vocalists of the group). The lyrics on this EP are honestly just lackluster. Sure, they have that message of hope for the future and dealing with situations of the present (especially on 'Life Goes On') but we've heard this too many times this year.

    However, at the end of the day, this is still a decent EP. This is still a melancholy, yet bouncy, EP. This is still a nice, but lackluster, EP. I'm just hoping the septet explores more and reaches further heights on their next EP or studio album because I know they can do better than this.    … 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

    A warm album, where you connect with people in the most natural way, not from artist to fan, from person to person going through similar emotions in difficult times, an album that gives you comfort, but above all pushes you to move forward.

    Thank you BTS for another excellent album full of versatility, always evolving its music so different from MOTS7.

    One of the best albums by BTS to date, it consits pretty good songs but some of the connections are lacking i guess. The track that formed the emotional line of this album is Blue & Grey, the song is written beautifully and well-produced, the boys' voices are magically mixed too.

    Other songs are not bad but non of them can do the same thing that Blue & Grey did.
    To be honest, this album is a good record and worth it to listen to.    … Expand

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

    It is definitely not the best of South Koreans, but it shows the strength of a marketing focused on young people and deserves to be highlighted.

    Em um momento difícil e incerto, o BTS vem trazendo uma mensagem de conforto e esperança de dias melhores, com melodias intimistas e cheias de sentimentos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is BTS' most vulnerable and mature album so far.. it starts with a nostalgic, bittersweet note with Life goes on and ends on a happy energetic note with Dynamite.. The first half of the album is melancholic given the concept and nature of the album and the second half is hopeful and bright.. This was a source of comfort for me and I am sure for BTS as well in this time of crisis. Loved it.… Expand

    They really outdid themselves with this album, so cohesive and beautifully put together. An album meant to comfort ARMY. You won't be able to get the message if you don't know BTS enough, tracks like Bue & Grey and Dis-ease stand out a lot to me. Every song is so enjoyable and beautiful, this is BE, this is BTS.

    simplesmente genial, é a melhor coisa que já ouvi na minha vida e poderia passar o resto dela em loop sem problema nenhum.
    obrigada bts por estar entre nós, por existir, por me deixar viver na mesma época que vocês.. é um bom motivo pra estar viva.

    BTS steps in the right direction due to a newly founded vulnerability - that MOTS:7 needed so badly. armed with a precise production, honest lyrics, and a total lack of ego, this album is BTS at its peak: lighthearted, straight-forward, and original. deserved to be a lot longer.

    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.
