Blackpink explores a variety of genres and resources while still keeping their own sound, the one that makes you think 'this is Blackpink'. So glad every member had their time to shine, especially because they were so happy about it. Also glad that YGE is starting to give them more freedom, they really deserve it. My favorite tracks are Love To Hate Me and You Never Know, the first one is a catchy song while the second one is a powerful ballad whose message is full of truth. So proud of BLACKPINK.… Expand

    BLACKPINK's long awaited first debut album has everything the fans wanted. It was amazing to hear the members of the group, (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa) themselves say that what they wanted with this album was to make to fans who had been waiting for so long, happy, and then to be able to listen to the results and see them actually achieve that goal.

It was amazing to hear the members of the group, (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa) themselves say that what they wanted with this album was to make to fans who had been waiting for so long, happy, and then to be able to listen to the results and see them actually achieve that goal. The album consists of exactly what BLACKPINK are, what the concept of their group is. They show their daring and rebellious and dare I say "savage" side in songs such as Pretty Savage, How You Like That and Love To Hate Me while showing their more "pink" soft, vulnerable and lovable side in tracks such as Bet You Wanna ft. Cardi B, Ice Cream ft. Selena Gomez, and the heart breaking closer, You Never Know. To top it all off they have songs such as Crazy Over You and their title track Lovesick Girls which are the perfect mixture of Black and Pink. These songs show the rollercoaster of emotions that being a young woman venturing through life's ups and downs with love is, yet they also show how they have the strength, confidence and persistence to not give up on finding the right one. Overall, BLACKPINK did what they had to do with The Album. They got their message of the meaning of their group name with only eight songs, but they did it perfectly. I believe it is safe to say that the girls of BLACKPINK have finally mastered their sound, message and concept in this album. "The Album" is amazing.… Expand

It may lack some punches or maybe i wish it was longer than 8 songs, but The Album did a great job as a full record.
    In terms of production is amazing, even though i wished it had explored new sounds and genres; the successful 2020 pop formula is there in songs like ice cream and pretty savage, they are catchy and totally centered in the mainstream market but the lack of innovation can be dangerous in times where the masses are always looking for new experiences.    … Expand

    Too short, it's enough that only eight songs are needed for the album to be considered a full, but the songs are really short too. Two songs were already released so it wasn't fresh to hear them, the title track also didn't feel fresh somehow. Hoping for a better album next time, one that let us appreciate the song before it ends.

    In first place, this album should be a mini-album, because it has only 8 songs. I really expected more, and even bought the physical album. They keep using the same techniques, so their songs, to me, sound repetitive. Also, I feel that the collaborations were unnecessary, they don't contribute anything.

    Tienen una ventaja de tener varias canciones en Inglés, para así llegar a más publico, así que pensé que iban a mostrar una letra más potente/fuerte o ligados a otros temas, pero no fue así, siguieron con lo mismo, y no han un trasfondo en ella, no muestra el sentimiento de las chicas solo nos dicen que son mejores que otros pero ahí termina su letra, sus voces no se proyecta en cada una de las canciones, los rap, me causan cierta decepción porque ni siquiera se si ellas mismas escribieron sus versos o otro las escribió por ellas (lo más probable)
    El álbum se siente como querer buscar validación con solo melodía sin letra ni canto, gran producción pero sin calidad absoluta. La única balada presente, esta de sobra entre las demás canciones del álbum, se siente como si se colocara solo para bajar la intensidad de los demás canciones o para querer justificar que pueden mostrar algo más que melodía, pero fracasan al no mostrar las voces de cada miembro, es una valida plana sin sentimiento, muy por debajo de su antecesora Hope Not

    after much wait, blackpink's first full album arrived and lived up to all expectations I had! their versatility and their polished vocals & rap made the songs a lot better, with members jisoo and jennie showcasing their talents as songwriters & producer, respectively. 100% recommended.

    Su participación en sour candy empezó con expectativas altas pero a medida que iban sacando más canciones, estás solo fueron en retroceso. How you like that se convierte en otra canción más, ese típico estilo que llega a aburrir, pero si hablamos de aburrir realmente, entonces hay que mencionar ice cream, una colaboración con Selena Gómez dejaba un aire de curiosidad.

How you like that se convierte en otra canción más, ese típico estilo que llega a aburrir, pero si hablamos de aburrir realmente, entonces hay que mencionar ice cream, una colaboración con Selena Gómez dejaba un aire de curiosidad. Pero la escuché y para cuando recordé ya había terminado. No era pegadiza y tampoco buena, más bien era extraña y sin duda su peor canción. Lovesick girl no es del todo mala, empieza con buen ritmo y buenas voces y para cuando llega al coro todo cae en picada. Bet you wanna parecía ser otra promesa debido a la participación de Cardi B, pero al final ¿qué culpa tiene cardi de que la hayan agregado a la -posiblemente- segunda peor canción del álbum?
    El resto de las canciones no valen la pena ser mencionadas. Para ser el primer álbum después de 4 años de carrera no hay duda alguna que los fans aceptan esto, porque es mejor algo a nada.
    El único punto que doy es porque Love to hate me es de hecho, una buena canción hasta que llega la parte innecesaria del rap. Si hubiese sido una canción que se dedicara solo a lo vocal, tal vez, habría sido la canción que salvara el álbum. Tal vez.    … Expand

    A great debut album, a little experimental for a k-pop group. I feel empowered while listening to it, and feel like crying at the end of it with "You never know".

    The album was underwhelming. Some of the songs gave early 2010’s vibes except the beats and songs didn't feel cohesive

    The title track was good. But, the rest of the tracks were "meh". But, it's their first full album, so maybe we'd see better tracks for the next one. Ice Cream wad also highly anticipated, but disappointed me greatly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How You Like That - was fun but ending drop was so dull and vocally it was weak the chorus was ok nothing special really typical edm sound.

    Ice Cream - fun instrumental and Lisa's rap part really made that song 100 times more interesting in general Selena's future was useless i just see no reason for her to be there.

    Pretty Savage - very blackpinkish beat chorus is enjoyable Jisoo little rap part was fun and i loved how they switched up at the end. Bet You Wanna - they definitely were hittingfor the radio and the west market with this full English song in general pretty minimalistic beat and Cardi verse was short and PEGI if you know her you will understand. Lovesick Girls - Anthem for sure beat was slick and popish also you can tell that David Guetta was one of the producers definitely not bad track.

    Crazy Over You - Rosé flexing her vocals on this one in my opinion definitely one of the strongest and best produced tracks on the album it was fun and not too long rap parts were good too.

    Love To Hate Me - sounds like a cool pop song that part in the beginning reminds of red velvet IN&OUT and coldplay HYMN FOR THE WEEKEND but it was fun and i like the lyrics "you ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me" good message.

    You Never Know - knowing Jennie situation and how much she been through her singing "you never know uless you'll walk jn my shoes everybody sees what they wanna see it's easier to judge than to believe" it makes it even more meaningful also i like the production it's not over the top.

    So basically i liked it could'vebeen more tracks but i had a lot of fun listening to it.    … Expand

    Great album all-round. Lol at those western editors with low scores. Lowkey they still trying to alienate one of the biggest music industry in the world... Also every song is title track worthy. Ofc it could be mentioned but giving it low score because of it?? Thats just disrespectful and stupid.

    Nice vocals but the first single sounds like a recycled song. The second single is catchy but the lyrics are nonsense. The album has 2 ok songs, the last one and lovesick girls. Waiting for such a long time for this kind of album is pretty disappointing imo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album consists of only 8 songs and still managed to deliver something satisfactory. If you listen to the album with a heart and an open mind, each song can deliver a different feeling.

    "You Never Know" makes you feel the emotion in each of their voices, delivering the message that people will only know how hard it is to hear harsh words when they are the target.

    "Love To Hate Me" If you've ever had a relationship with someone who didn't treat you as they should, this song is perfect for you. Here they show that they are independent and that they don't need someone who doesn't really love them.

    "Crazy Over You" is perhaps one of the best songs on the album, the beat makes you want to dance and after reading the translation of the song, you feel like an extremely passionate person who can do crazy things for love.

    "Lovesick Girls" is the title of the album and there is a reason for that. The beat of the song gives you a refreshing feeling and makes you feel like walking the streets listening to it. The lyrics, as it says in the name, talk a lot about being sick and dependent on love, but it also questions why to keep looking for love, when you have hurt yourself in love with someone before.

    "Bet You Wanna" is a type of music that will probably irritate some and make others love, and if you want to know why, just go listen to it yourself. Cardi B's participation draws a lot of attention and obviously success is already guaranteed. The beat is soft but very dancing.

    "Pretty Savage" is a beautiful response to the massive hates they receive in relation to their body, appearance and success. The song contains a hip-hop beat, which attracts the attention of many teenagers today.

    "Ice Cream" is not a song that everyone likes, and even with its gum refrain it is still very weak compared to all the other songs on the album.

    "How You Like That" has a strong lyrics, as well as the beat of the song, which by the way brings oriental instruments after the chorus.

    'The Album' is certainly the best album ever released by a KPOP girl group in 2020. It is worth listening to if you are open-minded and at least research the translations of each song.

    Congratulations to BLACKPINK.    … Expand

    I wish Blackpink would bring more versions of themselves. The first time I saw them getting a little away from the same concept was Ice cream, and if I must say, what a huge fail. The album is short, only 6 new songs, and at least 3 of them I just cant remember because it felt it was really the same song. When are we going to get more than 10 musics a year?

    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.
