BE

This album is masterfully crafted. Each track is nuanced and beautiful . The skit is placed halfway through the album and acts a bit like a tonal shift in the album’s direction. “Life Goes On” is a mellow, introspective track that captures lockdown angst without being trite or tacky. “Fly To My Room” showcases some of V and Jimin’s best vocals yet, and the addition of Suga and J-Hope on the track make it next-level. “Blue & Grey” has to be one of my favorite pieces of music from anyone in the last few years. What a beautiful , somber track! V and the other writers captured some dark and heavy emotions in a very gentle way. It’s not overdone at all. All the guys performed their hearts out on that one. “Skit” is the guys’ reactions to achieving their first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Such a fun inclusion (and really meaningful for the group). “Telepathy” mixes a dash of sadness with pulse-pounding disco pop. It’s an ear worm with depth. “Dis-ease” is another major standout for me, primarily produced and composed by J-Hope. It’s funky, old-school hip-hop flavored, with an awesome brassy touch. The vocals on this track are outstanding . “Stay” features Jin, Jungkook, and RM on European-esque, dance/house/trance, EDM thumper. I’m not usually an EDM fan, but this track is super catchy and has some lovely, heartfelt lyrics. Leave it to BTS to charm me into listening to genres outside my preference. Last but not least is “Dynamite,” Bangtans’ first foray into a fully English track, delivered as retro disco-pop perfection. As a body of work, “BE” travels from mellow, soft, sad contemplation, to embracing the inevitable and celebrating the small joys in moments of uncertainty. The vocals, production, and lyrics are top tier. 10/10 would recommend.

Update 12/7/2020 Jin, Kookie, and Hobi did an album unboxing review posted today on YouTube and, low and behold, the flip book came apart for Kookie. He questioned it saying, "oh it tore?" And Jin replied, "it's supposed to do that." And they continued with their review. SO there you have it. It's supposed to come out, for those concerned about that. Hope this helps. You can check out the vid on the Bangtan page. I was so excited to get this album. Overall, I support BTS in everything they do and put out there. When my album came in, it did have a couple dings, 1 of them more noticeable than the other. For that, and THAT ONLY, I'm disappointed in the type of packaging it arrived in considering it's an album. According to the address on the package, it came from the Las Vegas area/warehouse. They really just put albums of this weight in regular packaging?There was no protection at all inside. I've gotten smaller/tiny things come in with huge bubble wrap inside a gigantic amazon box before, so why wasn't this album treated with better packaging??? That makes no sense. I forgot to take a picture of the brown "recyclable packaging" bag before I threw that away in the recycle bin. Like many have said, we paid almost $50 for it to arrive either really damaged or a little damaged? Compared to some otheres, mine I can live with as it's not that bad. But for this many reviews to complain about damage to the album/packaging is really disappointing. We need to do better especially as this could affect BTS. Another thing was the photo book coming apart. That's okay though, nothing a little super glue can't fix. I don't think this falls on the seller though as the clear wrap on the album did not indicate any tampering or whatnot. But this is fixable. The dent on my album is not. Other than that, I love this album. We love BTS and us Army internationally (USA) just want to support our guys the best we can. Please package the album better! Thank you.

Army, do not hesitate! This is album of the year! It is stunning! Came with everything listed, absolutely the most visually stunning BTS album to date in my opinion. The sentiment behind all the songs and this entire album what truly makes this one of the greatest BTS albums. If you watched the press conference the night before this release, you will fully understand why this album means so much, not only to the fans, ARMY, but to BTS too. The price of this is a little more than what they usually sell for but when it says DELUXE, it means DELUXE. If feels Deluxe and then you open it and it's packed full of beautiful images, cards, even a photo frame and 2 posters, 1 is a lyrics poster. This one contains a photo card of every single member of BTS, not 1 bias, but all 7 are included!

This Album is like a bright light in this gloomy and tumultuous year of 2020. BTS share their inner turmoil but find the hope and focus of what really matters giving birth to this beautiful music. This album feels like comfort and healing all in one package. I am so grateful to BTS for the music and inspiration they give. Delivery had a problem though. I saw many damaged packages were received from Amazon. My box was damaged too. I was kind of sick over it but the main parts that mattered most were okay. I can’t imagine how others felt after waiting so long for this album and having received it with parts destroyed. This is a limited addition also. Hopefully everyone will be taken care of. I also want to mention that it is a collector’s item and fans don’t want the album box banged up either. That being said, I also want to thank the Amazon workers for being there and working in these times. I hope you have all you need & want to be healthy and happy. Stay safe everyone!

La verdad no sé mucho sobre el álbum, fue un regalo para mi hermana, pero si logré ver el contenido y puedo decir que vale completamente la pena.

The album is wonderful, the perfect warm hug from a friend you didn't know you needed. The guys did a great job on the album like always. Amazon on the other hand did horribly, my album arrived completely unprotected in one of their plastic mailing envelopes. You know the ones with no shape and no bubble wrap. So it wasn't that big of a surprise to open it and find the outer boxing of the album to be damaged and coming apart. Thankfully all of the photocards and everything inside the album was fine. If there was a way to just rate the delivery and handling by amazon this rating would have been 1 star. However, their isn't so the rating will stay 5 stars. The album itself is 5 stars, its everything we didn't know we needed. I ended up going and picking up another undamaged one at Target in person. Fellow ARMY, just do yourself a favor and order it from weverse or somewhere else that actually knows how to ship an album so that it doesn't get damaged along the way.

I did have a very small dent in my album when it arrived but nothing like the damage seen in other reviews. Everything was included that should have been. The picture books inside are so beautiful. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Pandemic life was and still is pretty exhausting for everyone, BE is like a tight warm hug for everyone who felt lonely and helpless, thought there was no way out. I loved every single thing about the album. Songs aside, the physical album is absolutely mind-blowing! I already have 3 BTS albums and this was the most stuffed one, it took me long to unbox everything, stuff just kept coming and coming. I have waited for 2 weeks since album’s release and honestly, it was worth it. It came right on time which was great. Considering other reviews, I thought my package would be damaged as well but fortunately, my album came in great condition, it was in a box covered with airbags so it had no damage. I recommend everyone this pure artwork.

Das Album kam eingepackt sehr früh an (einen Tag nach dem Release) und enthält folgendes: 1 × Fotobuch 148 X 210 (mm) / 100 Seiten, 92 Seiten 1 × Making Book 148 x 210 (mm) / 32 Seiten 1 × Fotorahmen 148 x 210 (mm) + CD 1 × Lyric Poster 444 x 630 (mm) 8 × Fotokarten 1 × Polaroid Fotokarten 7 × Postkarten 1 × Poster 630 x 444 (mm) Das Album an sich ist ein wenig wie eine Art Box: wenn man es öffnet findet man alle Inhalte. Wichtig zu sagen ist: Das Fotobuch hat 2 Teile. Jedoch ist das zweite sehr leicht reißbar (nur an den gebundenen Seitenteil!), also aufgepasst. Keine Sorge, es ist so vergesehen! Es soll als eine Art Mini-Poster Kollektion dienen, also ist es sehr flach und wie vorhin erwähnt an der Seite leicht reißbar. Es kam alles sauber, in Hoher Qualität und unbeschädigt an, wie sonst auch. Sehr zufrieden!

Delivery was really fast and the package had no damage, I love the album and I overall recommend this:) I feel like a middle aged woman when I white this but it’s ok🥲

An amazing album, super thick and well made. I panicked so much when I thought I broke the photo book, but half of it stays in the book and the other half comes out to use as mini posters or scrapbooking etc. so don't worry! It's really lovely and comes with lots of goodies :)

レビューはどこに対して書くべきなのかわかりませんが、CDや商品内容は素晴らしいです。内容は日本語ではありませんがネット等で和訳が出てるのでそちらで見ました。 作詞作曲等もメンバーで制作したとの事で歌詞やタイトルはメンバーの手書きです。 世界的にコロナが蔓延してワールドツアー等コンサートが中止になり、その時間で作られたアルバムです。何も出来なくて不安な気持ちやそれでも前を向こうというメンバーの率直な気持ちが伝わり、感動しました。 各メンバーのコメントも書かれています。 曲は優しく明るい雰囲気のものが多いです。外出制限や隔離の鬱屈とした中で癒しになり明るい気持ちになれるようなそんなコンセプト通りいい曲ばかりです。 以上内容については星5ですが、保管管理については星1ですね。商品自体のBOXが破損してます。外ビニール を開封したような感じではなかったので、強く押されたか掴まれたか…。配送に問題は無さそうです。外段ボールに損傷はなかったので。輸入段階の破損なのかわかりませんけど、商品の管理は良くないですね。 星を減らしてBTSさんの評価が下がってしまうのは違うと思ったので配送や管理でなく商品のみの評価で星5にしました。

Le CD est super et le packaging magnifique, seul bémol je l ai acheté en deuxième main et la boîte était très abîmée ( sale , déchirée,coins en mauvais état ). Heureusement tout ce qui était a l intérieur était en parfait état.
