    This album was so needed during the pandemic. It gave us comfort and reflexs really well how we felt during the worst moments we had with covid. Speciall mention to "Blue and Grey" and " Disease", Diasease is in my opinion one of the best BTS songs.

    Pretty boring album if you ask me, i’ve seen their ost music and this doesn’t compare to the level of artistry they’ve had in the past, it sounds like they just put a bunch of scraped songs in to one album and called it a day.

    I decided to listen to this album after seeing it highly reviewed. While the song I had heard back in 2020, Dynamite, is a catchy and a hit for me, the rest of the album falls flat - fillers that don't leave me feeling as optimistic as when I started listening.

    BTS are the only artists who have all the human emotions on an album. Emphasis for Life Goes On, which if it could be described would be like a strange but painful sensation in the chest for wanting the unknown as if it were somehow familiar to your soul. It is as if on hearing, the stranger seemed familiar to you and you can only wish to have him back, something you have never had before.

    bts just dropped the worst thing ever (like all of their albums) litteraly the most genreric, and less original thing I ever heard. And on top of that, the cringe singers and their awful vocals (and i'm not talking about lyrics) that even autotune can't correct just destroy my ears

    Another masterpiece. “Life Goes On” is a gorgeous track with a beautifully rendered chorus and timely eloquent lyrics. “Blue and Grey” is melancholic and gloomy, once again the vocalists deliver an incredible amount of emotion through their lines, while the rappers spot on lyricism and calm flows highlight the depression the track speaks of flawlessly. “Telepathy” and “Dis-ease” feel moreAnother masterpiece. “Life Goes On” is a gorgeous track with a beautifully rendered chorus and timely eloquent lyrics. “Blue and Grey” is melancholic and gloomy, once again the vocalists deliver an incredible amount of emotion through their lines, while the rappers spot on lyricism and calm flows highlight the depression the track speaks of flawlessly. “Telepathy” and “Dis-ease” feel more like toe tappers, but the lyrics spark introspection and meditation in the listener. “Fly Too My Room” is stripped down and feels nostalgic too listen to by the time i’m writing this review.

    By far my favorite album from BTS. Every song fits in perfectly.
    It also describes the way one felt in the middle of the pandemic, from Life Goes On that gives the message of hope for better days to Blue and Gray that describes the feelings of desperation.
    The variety of songs are also great Dis-ease is a nod to their hip-hop past, while Stay was made to jump up and down in a concert.

    "BE" foi a proposta que eles ofereceram de um pocketshow acústico muito bem coordenado; ao invés de se aventurarem com batidas complexas como exigem suas coreografias, os seven boys se permitiram coreografar os sentimentos mais serenos e acinzentados em suas letras. Deixaram um hit mundial abrir portas para outros tons além das cores fascinantes de "Dynamite".

    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.
