    I expected a lot from this album, and as always they exceded my expectations. It´s not just the lyrics, but the honest perspective on every song that makes you feel welcome.

    El álbum es tan único, no hay algún otro que se compare. Las canciones te transmiten sentimientos y emociones, son tan reconfortantes. Cada una con distinto ritmo, melodía y letra. Desde hip hop de la vieja escuela hasta una balada pop. BE es una montaña rusa de emociones...escúchala no te arrepentirás

    I feel this album like a beautiful letter. All the songs have a message of comfort and hope in these times of isolation. Some tracks are slow, and others have hype. Are a mix of feelings, and I can't stop listening.

    ES UN ÁLBUM QUE REFLEJA SENTIMIENTOS SOBRE COMO LAS PERSONAS PUEDEN SENTIRSE ESTE PERIODO DE CUARENTENA, REFLEJA DE LA MANERA MAS FIEL ESOS SENTIMIENTOS QUE COMO HUMANOS PUEDEN INFLUIR EN NUESTRO DIA A DIA. PERSONALMENTE VALORO MUCHO EL TRABAJO DE ESTOS CHICOS, ARTISTAS que verdaderamente se involucran en su trabajo, ponen en alto el nombre de su país y representan su cultura

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incluso si 'BE' es un álbum casual, puedo asegurar que tuvo un meticuloso proceso de elaboración. desde su estampado hasta las pistas que contiene el disco.
    Así tan rápido como el sol se aparece entre las montañas al amanecer; este trabajo se ha llevado todo mi cariño y me ha dejado más satisfecha que una buena cena de Navidad o Año Nuevo.

    'Life Goes On', la canción que comienza el álbum transmitiendo un atisbo de esperanza hacia el mundo, mientras expresa muchos de los sentimientos que muchos de nosotros hemos experimentado durante este inusual año, por lo que es sencillo identificarse y sentirse apegado a la canción. Las notas de guitarra acústica acompañada de ese ritmo alternativo de hiphop, transmiten a su vez sentimiento nostálgico lo cual termina por crear un ensamblaje perfecto.

    'Fly To My Room'; hablando de cómo quisieran dejar aquella reducida habitación, debido a que siente que está perdiendo la cabeza y que este año ha sido arrebatado de sus manos. La canción continúa, yendo de el pesimismo, hastío y resignación hasta el visto bueno de las cosas, soñar despierto y el comfort que desprende la habitación... Creando así una canción agridulce, que expresa con claridad las diferentes etapas y pensamientos presentes durante el confinamiento.

    'Blue & Grey', una balada que transmite un sentimiento nostálgico y quizás hasta doloroso. La canción narra el sentimiento de inconformidad y la búsqueda de mayor felicidad, que consiste en la compañía y la fuerte necesidad de sentirse acompañado (dejar de sentirse solitario y aburrido), utilizando la psicología del color para describirlo de manera metafórica.

    La siguiente pista en el listado –posterior a aquella pista eufórica de las primeras conversaciones compartidas tras el haber alcanzado el número uno en el Billboard Hot 100 por primera vez, en donde Yoongi afirma que se dedicará a la música por el resto de su vida– es 'Telepathy', una canción con elementos funky que sostiene una vibra divertida.

    Su letra habla de cómo, a pesar de la distancia, dos o más personas pueden mantenerse conectarse con sus corazones a través del inmenso y recíproco cariño que reside en estos. Es una canción divertida que definitivamente podría quedarse grabada en tu cabeza con facilidad, debido a lo pegadiza que puede llegar a ser.

    Durante la pista número seis, 'Dis-ease', BTS regresa a sus raíces con un poco de hiphop de la old school para hablar sobre pensamientos acerca de necesitar unas vacaciones y la constante y contraproducente necesidad de darlo todo sin tener fallo, incertidumbre y de deshacerse de la misma. 'Stay', una canción EDM, supuesta a formar parte del próximo proyecto en solitario de Jungkook. La canción tiene una vibra alegre, una canción que posiblemente podría escucharse durante una buena fiesta. La canción emite palabras acerca de estar consciente de que existe ese alguien que siempre se mantiene allí, en cualquier lugar y a pesar de todo, incluso si es a través de una pantalla y un tipo de red en específico. Una canción, que a pesar de ser breve logra transmitir más de un sentimiento.

    El álbum termina con 'Dynamite', una canción que fue el liberada en agosto, con un mensaje de trasfondo que buscaba traer consuelo y esperanza durante estos tiempos difíciles con una letra sencilla de entender, lo suficientemente sencilla como para tocar más de un corazón.
    Así suena y se siente 'BE', como un sube y baja de emociones, una mezcla interesante y difícil de lograr.

    Y la versatilidad no sólo se limita a los géneros, si no también como los tonos de sus voces van adaptándose a estos, logrando así una comunicación efectiva y sólida. No es la primera vez que el grupo experimenta implementando diversos géneros en un álbum, sin embargo; esta vez es innegable que las canciones quedan como anillo al dedo en el álbum.
    Es imposible imaginar que una de ellas no esté allí, pues todas parecen ser piezas esenciales de una misteriosa carta escrita por alguien cercano.

    Más que un trabajo, 'BE' es una dedicatoria, un regalo y el consuelo que probablemente muchos de nosotros necesitábamos durante este largo año. También podría considerarse una cápsula que te transporta de sentimiento en sentimiento, dejándote interpretar las canciones como tú más desees, haciéndote sentir comprendido y abrazado, expresando todo aquello que quizás a ti te costó expresar.

    Esperemos lo mejor para 'BE', así como también para nosotros y la situación actual. Y sin importar cuántos premios se lleve o cuántos no, es certero reconocer que 'BE', igualmente trascenderá, por su honestidad y por todo aquella toda calidad y tranquilidad que le ha traído consigo a tanta gente. Porque, ahora más que nunca hemos sido recordados de que efectivamente la vida sigue y las huellas por las calles vuelven a ser marcadas, sin importar qué.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's adorable, the portrayal of each letter meticulously composed in the BANGTAN (BTS) style. I must emphasize that I am really picky when it comes to an album, and BE has the perfect listing of criteria that stuck. The vocabulary of the songs is honest and comforting, and a crude form of expression, like the example of Blue & Gray, are individual feelings in which you will be able to identify yourself, it is a poetry for the intimate, Vincentian and casual. The BTS Album BE is like an escape valve from limitation, they do not describe the good part in a utopically superficial way, it is honest and realistic, it is more comforting, adverse beyond imagination. This room is too small To fit my dream (yes) Landing on the bed Here is the safest place Happiness, sadness, whatever emotion is This place simply accepts them Sometimes this room becomes an emotional dump He hugs me Fly to my room - BTS… Expand

    "BE" has a total of 7 tracks and a skit (which is their conversations when they achieved the number one on the billboard hot 100 chart with dynamite), the songs are quite diverse, about different emotions, expressing different feelings, one of my favorites is called "BLUE & GREY" which is an acoustic ballad song&has a darker message, Like the member V said, "Blue and grey are the colors that represent the feelings of depression and anxiousness", "i just wanna be happier, melt me cold, my numerous hands, colorless echo, oh this ground feels so heavier, i am singing by myself, i just wanna be happier, is this a big greed?"
    While on the other hand, The tittle track "life goes on" is about healing and providing consolation during this pandemic.
    -"Fly to my room" is the second track on the album, I believe Its about how staying indoors due to the current situation made them think of travelling in a different way, and How the idea of travelling will change.
    -Telepathy, the 5th track. Is a disco pop song, which is really fun but the lyrics has a deep meaning, Its about the moments with their fans ARMYS and how their happiest moment is when they're with us just how the lyrics says "out of the days that are the same every time, I'm happiest when i meet you"
    -The 6th track, "Dis-ease" same as telepathy its has a hiphop vibe but the lyrics are so touching, "everybody's got a lot of bottles (which is a korean wordplay, it can also mean illness) human beings are inherently ugly, 400 more cases of heart disease, it's not a lot of people who can, but it doesn't. Yoo, is it the world or me that's sick? Is it just a difference in interpretation?" "Sick and tired, but i dont wanna mess up 'cause life goes on".
    -The 7th song on the album "Stay", explained by Jungkook : "unit by JK RM and JIN. Its a house genre and a song i participated in composing. The meaning of the song is even when we are apart, we always stay together"
    -The last track is their latest record-breaking disco pop single, Which got included in the album "Dynamite".
    "BE" might be my favorite BTS's album! It's a rollercoaster of different emotions. A masterpiece.    … Expand

    An album of short length feels just enough to convey powerful mid-quarantine messages from this group of genuine artists. Every song has an underlying piece of them: contemplating, longing, hoping, reminiscing, reaching for happiness and enjoying life by appreciating simplicity, as hard as it is during a global pandemic. Definitely a comforting album, perfect for the present time.

    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. :)

    A cohesive album that while starts a bit melancholy smoothly transitions into some pretty funky vibes. I would say 9.5/10, but will round up for this. Only song I didn't vibe with is Stay, but that has to do with my aversion to EDM and not the production.

    BE is artistically, the most BTS-esque album of BTS discography. The diversity in sound has been executed flawlessly, with genre like EDM (which many deter from) being done perfectly to ears of all listeners. The overall message of the album is secure, especially in the title track "Life Goes On"; rich vocals, along with the comforting foundation of rap verses makes it such a hit.BE is artistically, the most BTS-esque album of BTS discography.

    Listening to BE never gets boring, there's always an adlib catching your attention or powerful layering of voices that makes the experience heavenly. This self-directed masterpiece deserves all praise, BTS are authentic in their artistry and BE is the fruit to 7 years+ of labour. Songs that were supposed to be in individual musical projects even made it into this album, truth to the amazing talent buried in the septet and their collaborative magic. The best release this year, with 7 enriching songs and one innocent, comical skit about the group's Billboard Hot100 feat. Definitely worth the listen    … Expand

    'BE' is on of the best albums from BTS to date. The album offers tracks from a skit, EDM, ballads, to old-school hip-hop. The album is good from a lyrical and music standpoint, and offers much more for ARMY; comfort in the times of a worldwide pandemic, It gets a score of 10 from me.

    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

    A sigh of relief amid the chaos. There are the words that I describe this album directly, but real.

    Personally, each song was built a story with a narrative that we all experienced this year. That is why listening to them is a comfort because you transformed something that was inside me into art and I didn't even know it. The first three songs, Life Goes ON, Fly To My Room and Blue &    A sigh of relief amid the chaos. There are the words that I describe this album directly, but real.

    Personally, each song was built a story with a narrative that we all experienced this year. That is why listening to them is a comfort because you transformed something that was inside me into art and I didn't even know it.

    The first three songs, Life Goes ON, Fly To My Room and Blue & Gray are true, real, direct, but in such a welcoming way that I felt embraced by the lyrics and melodies.

    Skit, even if I don't understand Korean, was incredible right away. Everything gets even better when we know that there was something so celebrated because it was in the fight that they got the first # 1 of the hot 100. With the fandom it was no different and Yoongi, do what you said: music all your life.

    Then comes what I consider the other side of the album, with Telepathy, Dis-ease, Stay and Dynamite, and I confess that I love this quartet. Both Telepathy and Dis-ease are apparently lively songs, but without leaving a message behind. There is a beauty in saying intense things without losing delicacy. BTS does it like no one else.

    Stay and Dynamite were made to close this album in a magnificent way. Both are great for healing hearts that may be hurt, with love, joy and hope. Jungkook said he wanted us to give love to Stay, but it was the other way around: Stay gave us love. BE has given us a home for our hearts.

    Life goes on, turbulence will always be present, but you need to stop and understand that everything will be fine. Even after all, we will remain as we always have and will continue to shine.

    A heartfelt and painfully beautiful album. BTS, once again, went beyond music and touched our soul.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
