    THE ALBUM isn’t just a ALBUM, it’s an artistic reconstitution, the breeze you respire, it’s a motive for existence, a departure from this atrocious cosmos, an embosom from a cherished one, it’s a moment for history books, a body of finest craftsmanship

    Para ser su primer álbum está muy sobrevalorado, todos los tracks suenan genéricos y el tracklist no tiene sentido...en pocas palabras una desgracia para la industria de la música

    One of the best and most fun kpop albums i ever heard, the change of flow in every song is amazing and the combination of the beautiful vocals with powerful rap, iconic.

    Every track on the is single-worthy. It is full of diverse genres that show how versatile Blackpink is. Definitely, 10/10 no skips at all, and could listen to all the 8 tracks all day long.

    I’ve been a k-pop fan since 2011. I stopped by SNSD and 2ne1, the two girl groups that were the biggest. I met BLACKPINK a week ago and they definitely touched me. ‘THE ALBUM’ is one of the best female k-pop albums and definitely the best of recent years. Each song is unique and added to the talent of the girls. Absolutely no one is doing it like them. Wow.

    I love how the girls have different types of genres of song. This album Is worth waiting for. I suggest you guys hear Pretty Savage, Lovesick Girls, Crazy Over You and You Never Know. Nevertheless, this album is a masterpiece.

    One of the best Kpop albums of all time. Each of the songs on here are so uniquely beautiful, you will get hooked after just 1 listen. Truly a well made Album, thats why its called THE ALBUM.

    It’s a very good pop album! The girls vocals are so good, Jisoo’s vocals are just so pretty and Rosé’s high notes are perfect. Lisa and Jennie’s raps are insane. It’s so good for a first album! Loved it!

    achei que faltou coisas novas, sempre a mesma farofa genérica, por ser o primeiro álbum da carreira, podia ser BEM melhor, sem contar que só tem oito faixas, parece mais um mini álbum.

    The album brings a different side to BLACKPINK that we are used to seeing in his previous work. Although it is 8 songs I feel that all the songs fit what the 4 girls want to show to the public and their fans. The title track has a little of what Jisoo and Jennie have to show as songwriters, I hope to see more of them in the future.

    Quite basic. The songs have repetitive beats with no individuality. The tracks have same base and layerings. Seems like same ground is used to build up every song. The don't make sense. In whole, below average

    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.
