    im so happy with her debut album, lograron colaborar con ganadoras de grammy como dua lipa, lady gaga y cardi b.

    "The album" is freaking amazing, and the songs are literal bops, Even b-side songs sounds legit. I can listen to every song by the mood. Finally

    This album is really good. Every song is a bop at its own finest. 8 songs and each deserves a music video. I need a visual album for this.

    The only disappointment is I feel 8 songs are not enough. Just imagine when you are on the really high and the party is over. Hope there will be more than 10 songs in the next album.

    Blackpink is indeed the revolution. A fast paced, unpredictable and extraordinary songs were combined on this album. This is the group who tells us fundamental stories about ourselves by listening to their track

    "The Album" is undeniably good. The songs are catchy, general public friendly, eargasm and leaves an impression to the listener. A mark of a good song is when you'll feel it in or vibe in it and when it's stuck on your head.

This Album ("The Album") is a rollercoaster ride; from spitting bars, making you feel swag and sexy to making the listener feel chill and emotional. In their four years on Music Industry, they really did a good job in their first full album. It is Sonically wise. Great job to the people behind this album especially to BLACKPINK. Indeed, "The Album" by BLACKPINK is one of the best released albums out there. Can't wait to hear more from them!


    PS. Might listen to "The Album" for quite some time. Good job!    … 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.
