    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

    The message behind it is so comforting, the lyrics are pretty deep even when the beat is fun. It's different side that we don't see often at all from artists. And every single member participated in the making of this album from lyrics, melodies, concepts, album cover, styling.... even directing the music video. It's a very, very good album I really love it.

    An album fully depicting the emotions of quarantine; from the feeling of hopelessness, to the celebration of achieving something during quarantine (small or big) and finally to the feeling of having hope for a better future where everything gets better. Truly setting the bar higher for any musicians in the scene.

    O album em poucas faixas te da conforto e segurança e no decorrer vai mudando para uma faixas mais animadas, isso te anima, e te deixa com vontade de viver, de ter momentos felizes, são 6 faixas que possuem mais diversidade e conceito que muitos full álbuns. Skit uma comemoração em meio a tanta coisa ruim e Dynamite um hit que é incrível. Um album perfeito.

    É o melhor álbum que já ouvi, as músicas trazem uma energia incrível! O grupo se uniu para escrever letras que nos conforta. Eles mostram que se identificam conosco, que sabem que estamos cansados da quarentena e que tem sido difícil para todos. Mas a ideia principal é que a vida continua e temos que continuar também.

    2020 está sendo um ano atípico para todo o planeta. De repente fomos alertados para ficarmos em casa e nos protegermos de uma doença desconhecida. Abruptamente fomos retirados da nossa vida cotidiana. Nesse caos nasce o BE.

De repente fomos alertados para ficarmos em casa e nos protegermos de uma doença desconhecida. Abruptamente fomos retirados da nossa vida cotidiana. Nesse caos nasce o BE.
       'Life goes on' deixa explícito já no título a principal mensagem do álbum: a vida continua. A faixa é uma mensagem de esperança para aqueles que se sentem angustiados pela nova realidade com os versos "Como um eco na floresta/Outro dia virá/Como se nada tivesse acontecido/Sim, a vida continua".
       'Fly to my room' é uma música um pouco mais alegre, mas ainda angustiante. A unit de Jimin, V, Suga e J-Hope é perfeitamente colocada em sequência da faixa principal. Um momento para enxugar as lágrimas e se preparar para a mais pesada do álbum, 'Blue & Grey'.
       Com versos como "Eu só quero ser mais feliz/Derreter o frio em mim", o grupo faz um desabafo sobre os sentimentos na quarentena. "Não diga que está tudo bem/Porque não está/Por favor não me deixe sozinho, dói demais" é devastador.    Finalmente 'Skit' chega. Nessa esquete, os 7 membros conversam sobre o recente alcançado primeiro lugar na principal parada dos Estados Unidos, a Billboard Hot 100. Mesmo com tudo de ruim que esteja acontecendo nas nossas vidas, saber aproveitar esses momentos de felicidade é essencial, e é esse o rumo que o BE segue.
      'Telepathy' é a próxima faixa e ela carrega uma mensagem otimista. A faixa retro pop celebra a conexão mesmo que a distância com versos como "Mesmo que eu não esteja ao seu lado, sim/Sabemos que estamos juntos".
      'Dis-ease', de nome curioso, tem uma das minhas pontes favoritas do BTS. Os vocais do Jungkook se destacam de maneira impecável. A música numa batida alegre é um desabafo sobre a exaustão com o trabalho. "O fato de existirem mais de 400 tipos de doença mental/Então não existem muitas pessoas que não tenham uma".   'Stay' é uma faixa calorosa e embalada em uma batida de Future House. É alegre para deixar nossos corpos aquecidos para a próxima faixa: o smash hit global Dynamite. Não há muito a se falar, pois a canção alegre é um fim justo ao álbum super intimista da banda global. Eles encerram o BE dançando e cantando, ressoando a esperança por dias melhores.
      Assim, BE é uma mensagem de conforto. No álbum o BTS diz - talvez para eles mesmos - que não há problemas em se sentir triste e que dias melhores, em que tudo o que estamos vivenciando não passará de uma memória distante. Tomara que os fãs se sintam tão acolhidos quanto eu.  PERDÃO QUALQUER ERRO DE PORTUGUÊS, É QUE EU TÔ COM SONO.    … Expand

    Even though there are a lot of Korean lyrics in tracks, i would overcome the language barrier with just a few translations to read these beautiful lyrics.

    A beautifully arranged album that, despite the varying genres, is exceptionally cohesive from start to finish. The stories told through the songs will likely ring familiar to the listener as the world faces the pandemic. Understanding the songs may bring an ache very alike to longing but there is also assurance that one may find solace in.

    BE feels raw, there is this wonderful contrast within the album, melancholy and upbeat; laid back and hype.

The real stand outs are Blue and Grey and Dis-ease, well produced, expertly written and in complete contrast to one another.

Fly To My Room is a calm sound with incredible lyrics. Blue & Grey hits right home. It's emotional, relatable, yet comforting. Telepathy is where the album becomes brighter. Dis-ease is an old school hip-hop track with an impressive bridge. Skit is them celebrating their first #1 on the billboard hot100. Stay is an edm tack with incredibly emotional yet relatable lyrics.

Everyone participates in the songwriting , and besides the music, they worked producing the MV, the costumes, among others ... which is something incredible, because BTS always excels, because they are their own parameter. The artistic view that bangtan has with music and with her preparation, it’s something incredible whether you like it or not, people have to recognize the dedication and talent. As an army, I couldn't help saying how much they and this album was important to me. The relationship between BTS and their fandom, is unique.… Expand

    Best Album of the year! The songs, the vibe, the aura of the album is soo fresh and meaningful. Every song has it's own style and meaning to it. As expected 10/10 by me. When it comes to bts they never disappoint.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing album with impeccable lyrics and beats as expected from them, I love how the first part of the album is kind of emotional and then you have the skit celebrating their #1 on hot100, and then you move to a brighter part of the album, it's almost as if "life goes on".
    They managed to express themselves, convey the messages they wanted to and comfort and cheer listeners up in the span of half an hour.
    The members also directed the albums by themselves so that was even more impressive (visual directing, video directing, project managing)
    Great job!!    … Expand

    BE é um álbum revolucionário. Sem dúvidas o BTS e toda sua equipe fizeram um ótimo trabalho. Esse álbum não é voltado para o comercial e sim para confortar o coração de seus fãs nessa quarentena, por isso é tão especial.
    Espero que BE continue a quebrar records, então amis, continuem a dar suporte ao BTS. Fighting!

    O álbum do ano. BTS se supera na musicalidade mais uma vez, mostrando novas batidas diferente de todas as outras, além de muito sentimento em cada letra, chega a ser difícil até mesmo para um fã expressar o quanto foi importante esse álbum, ele foi feito para os charts e para curar onde dói armys

The first part of the album is mellow and sad and second part of the album is sad but progresses to a brighter sound exploring different genres like old school hip-hop, retro pop, disco pop and future house. As always the album is genre blending. BTS making each genre their own. Personally my favourites are Blue and Grey, Dis-ease and Stay. Blue and grey is about anxiety and depression and Dis-ease is about the anxiety we feel from not being productive enough in this quarantine. Almighty knew I needed these songs in my life because I am not in a very good position mentally. Stay is about what they feel after not seeing their fans for so long. It's an album not about music experimentation and taking risks but about just simply giving comfort. Each verse in Dis-ease is so good and the lyrics and wordplay is top quality. The strongest point of a BTS album is the story they tell through their album and the lyrics of their music. I love the progression in this album and the lyrics of course.… Expand

    You don't have to love BTS to love and understand their music. I'm 26, 27 in next year and I feel like I have a friend when I listen their music, I feel calm, I feel like there's light and even if I'm sad or I'm losing hope, it will be fine. Just like Mono by Namjoon aka RM, BE makes you feel like you are not alone and you will be fine. One day. Just keep going... Life goes on

    Eu sinceramente fui engolida por esse álbum, a profundidade de cada faixa te leva numa viagem completa, com altos e baixos assim como a vida é. Ao final eu me senti consolada e ao mesmo tempo como se tivesse colocado todos meus sentimentos pra fora. Nunca chorei tanto com um álbum. E não me arrependo, vai ser uma companhia eterna pra minha vida.

It’s a cliche word but them—reminding it to us that we’re not alone in this journey we currently face, and that they too—having the means on the things they want couldn’t carry the loneliness and uncertainties the pandemic caused speaks a lot for their artistry. The lead track may not be GP friendly since it’s not upbeat, bubblegum pop or people aren’t used to this kind of approach (LGO) but that is what you gotta appreciate in how they make music, the message is always important. It is evident that BTS has produced lyrically outstanding piece of music or album hence, “BE” has captivated hearts with their rawness, warmth and different approach in music especially in the KPOp scene where it’s always catchy/repetitive, dependent on bass and beats.… 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.

    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.
