    BE é muito mais que apenas um álbum, cada vez que ouço ele é como se fosse a primeira vez. Todos os membros do BTS se envolveram diretamente com o álbum então a essência dele grita que é do BTS. Cada faixa com o seu tom próprio, o sentimento que vocês nunca vai cansar de ouvir. BE será o maior álbum do BTS, pois BE é completamente o BTS.

    If you’re tired of the same old, same old I strongly suggest BE by bts. The boys explore many different, unique genres that you do not see a lot of on the music scene right now and executed them perfectly, putting in their own lil spins here and there moulding it into their own sound and putting yet another genre they’ve dominated under their belt.

    BE is an album that brings comfort, it's like a cup of warm tea in the winter, or that tight hug you give or receive from someone when you're in trouble. It was based on that experience in Pandemic period, so it expresses everything we felt and what we needed to hear, that life goes on

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BE is an extremely cohesive and raw album. BTS approaches the pandemic in a hopeful and mature way. Starting slow and calm with songs like Life Goes On, and ending the album with the explosion of emotions that is Dynamite, BE feels like the acceptance of a new reality rather than the fear of what the world can become.

    BTS’ lyricism is again one of the best in the industry. It’s a shame that most critics, including the ones who wrote pieces cited here on Metacritic, aren’t able to do their homework properly. It’s obvious from their poorly researched reviews that they did the bare minimum to understand the album, its purpose and its lyrics. The language barrier is a mere excuse for poor journalism. The independent even dared to report that Blue and Grey, whose lyrics are about sadness and depression during the pandemic, is for the “sexy/horny moods of lockdown,” a simply distasteful and disrespectful take. From Life Goes On, BE’s title track: “One day, the world stopped / without any forewarning / Spring, not knowing the concept of waiting, / failed to read the room and showed up.” This small excerpt alone gives the listener can have an idea of the depth of the message BTS is trying to convey. The personification of spring is just one example of the pure poetry that is BE. Lastly, melody-wise, the album is also far from generic. Dis-ease, and old-school hip hop track, has very interesting samples and extremely detailed production. Overall, BE uses a variety of instruments to create the seamless transition from alternative hiphop to pop ballads, from a funky track to a melodic rap EDM. BE is a very well structured journey from start to finish.    … Expand

    Álbum maravilhoso. Mais introspectivo e inovador na forma de abordar o conceito.

    i want to give my honest opinion, i really love BTS. it's suck for me to admit but this album is so disappointing. aside from dynamite, the other song is really boring. I mean I've listened to all the songs in this album and its only good if we listen for a couple times, idk about what the other fans think but this is my opinion. hopefully in next album they will bring the better album

Their genuines and sincerity flows in their music make us broke in tears and the bond build more stronger between us.. And of course this is the most bts-esque music because all the member participated and contributed in making the album.… Expand

A mistura de emoções que o álbum dá é impressionante, alegria, conforto, nostalgia são apenas algumas das sensações de varias outras que s pode sentir ao ouvir o álbum além de possuir a faixa "Skit" onde demonstra o orgulho e a alegria do artista quando vê seu trabalho sendo reconhecido e apreciado mostrando que músicos não pensam apenas em números ou que eles são máquinas, essa faixa é o exemplo de como se como podemos estar proximos de nossos artistas no momento em que estamos enfrentando conexão com os fãs… Expand

    It's the best album of my life! As músicas são de tocar o coração e trazer um **** que não imaginava estar precisando, sou grata pela existência dos 7 e por eles serem artistas que anseiam acrescentar algo na vida dos fãs e não apenas lucro e fama, e esse álbum reflete exatamente isso, em como a música cura e quebra barreiras.

    The single 'Life Goes On' it's so perfect. They did a complete production and composition, it's a unique and beautiful song for this terrible situation.

    The ballads are so great.
    And Dynamite is the SOTY.
    WE LOVE BTS.

    Love the all the songs in this album. Most of the songs depicting the situation we are facing now. Being lockdown, no freedom, can't be like old tome enjoying companies. Since this is beyond normal, many of us also experience depression. Songs are not too depressing but uplifting in fact even though they are in the slow beat. Its is soothing for the souls.

    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.
