    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From HYLT to You Never Know BLACKPINK have proven their versatility musically. With Pretty Savage talking about how they are just that, "pretty" and "savage" that one can try but they can't amount to them (did they lie?), their lovesick girls track which is also the title track for "THE ALBUM" which portrays a love that should come to an end but they're too in love to allow that to happen, despite them being hurt over and over, with stand out lyrics like "we were born to be alone, but why we still looking for love" also including rap from the two rappers Lisa and Jennie. An emotional track like "You Never Know" which allowed the quartet to be vulnerable and open up to just how tough the industry is and how people will never truly understand them. The album deserves a solid 10/10. Not a single skip.Though are we surprised? This is BLACKPINK after all.… Expand

    I’ve been anticipating this album for a while now, and you can tell how much work the girls put into the album. The vocals, production, etc on this album are immaculate.

    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.
