    A complete album full of catchy and great songs. Blackpink really showed their potential not only in Korean but even in English as the album contain few songs in English. Loved this album

    This can't even be considered an album, it was a release with so much publicity and it was short and mediocre, you can see the desperation of the company for wanting to take a group to a market that requires a quality contribution.

    I love the production but some songs are note replay worthy. And only 8 songs for an album? Other artists release way more, this should've been an ep rather than an album. So dissappointed

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O único problema do álbum é ser apenas 8 músicas. É coeso, o grupo não tentou colocar algo inalcançável na questão vocal e o melhor elemento em comum entre as músicas são os instrumentos. Até uma cuíca eles usaram em Crazy Over You.… Expand

    The Album is so much fun, no skip, no flop. The girls keep showing their strengths, when it comes to singing they really nailed and made an impact to everyone. Each songs have their own story to let people how their moods will be. It gives chill and hype at the same time although the album was short, it is still made a powerful impact to everyone.

    Me encanta sus canciones, son muy buenas y empoderadas. Me encanta el hecho que hayan hecho que todas participen como se lo merecen. Sin duda, su primer álbum y hasta ahora el mejor que hicieron las chicas

    Amazing album, every song could be a single without problem, the lyrics are so well constructed and the production of the every song just gets better and better, the three singles are just amazing songs that tells you the Black side of the group but also the Pink one

    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.
