    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wish I could see some depth in these songs. It's also known that they don't write their own music, which probably limits them. As a non kpop fan who just started getting into KPOP, it's hard to judge work with such formulaic method, it's just so typical of others in their genre, more flash than actual musicality… Expand

    A majorly disappoiting debut album. A distinct sound and message as expected from a debut album was not delivered. the melodies are extremely repetitive and predictable. The lyrics have no clear message, with an excessive use of aave, theyre a bit hard to listen to.

    I dislike this album with a passion. It feels like it's full of empty words and bad rap parts full of blaccent. The company just threw something together to appease fans. The work of the girls seems superficial and bland. Full of self praise and tearing down other women. Not very girl power if you ask me.

    Pienso que teddy se aprovecha del fandom y da otra vez lo mismo pero de otras palabras, lo mismo de siempre expresado en otras palabras. Aburrido

    Album soso y con poco carisma. La unica canción decente es su Title Track pero como sus fans carecen de conocimiento musical obviamente no es la más escuchada. Junto con Stay, LSG es la unica canción de BP que muestra ALGO de musicalidad, el resto de cancion es basura remezclada siguiendo las mismas formulas para hacer cada vez canciones que de lo repetitivas que son solo te producen ascoAlbum soso y con poco carisma.

Junto con Stay, LSG es la unica canción de BP que muestra ALGO de musicalidad, el resto de cancion es basura remezclada siguiendo las mismas formulas para hacer cada vez canciones que de lo repetitivas que son solo te producen asco y agonía. Podrán ser todo lo pegadizas que quieran, pero eso no quita lo poco involucradas que se encuentran esas chicas en sus canciones y carrera. Son muñecas usadas, caras bonitas sin talento, solo Rosé se salva.… Expand

    Cheap sounding album. No growth from past works. Still silly raps. No lyricism. No great vocals. No harmonies. Just a basic kpop kids bop album.

    generic and no personality, nothing copyright and artistic identity, the album's purpose is to talk about female empowerment, but it's all written by a man and let's be honest what an uncreative album name

    It's not a good album. Some of the songs are generic and have the same rhythm. It's not innovative.

    What kind of noise is that?
    I hope one day they do something really good, not just generic and boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is just not what I expect it is. So many blinks were saying this album was so good but in reality it’s a mess. The over use of different loud sounds were just not it. The vocals were pretty good but i think there’s one member who just sounds like screeching instead of singing. It’s too high pitched! Not in a good way. I don’t recommend other people to listen to this and for those who said that it’s a bop lied.… Expand

    Crammed chockfull of crowd-pleasing EDM pyrotechnics and cheeky one-liners, The Album is undeniably a product of a well-oiled, state-of-the-art pop machine, but it feels stuck looking back to tried and true trends in both K-pop and Western pop music.

    The Album showcases their signature style of blending genres and influences to create songs that are just as classically pop as they are identifiably BLACKPINK.

    Overflowing with confidence, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa conquer each track on The Album with their vocal ability (both singing and rapping) and effortless charm, switching up styles to offer something for every type of fan.
