    I loved all the songs, so yes, I will give it a high score. A super eclectic album, but despite that, the songs complement each other. BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!

    As a big BLACKPINK fan, I can say that they delivered absolutely EVERYTHING on their first full studio album. It's like a Bible em forma de música. Each song completes the other. It shows their vulnerable side, questions why we keep looking for a love that hurts us, talks about how people always see what they want. Jennie and Jisoo showcase their talent for songwriting on the titleAs a big BLACKPINK fan, I can say that they delivered absolutely EVERYTHING on their first full studio album. It's like a Bible em forma de música. Each song completes the other. It shows their vulnerable side, questions why we keep looking for a love that hurts us, talks about how people always see what they want. Jennie and Jisoo showcase their talent for songwriting on the title track, "lovesick girls", just as Jennie produced the song. The songs deliver a sexy, vulnerable, baddass and relaxing air. I am very happy that blackpink finally delivered his album, with exciting and dancing beats, that make you always want more… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album, despite the low amount of songs, is truly perfection made sound.

    The girls of BLACKPINK, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, never stop to surprise with their amazing vocals, fast rap, compelling beats and superb lyrics written by the members themselves, as well as songwriters like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and Cardi, the last two also present in two of the tunes, make it a 10/10.    … Expand

    This is such a amazing album. The girls worked over a year on it, to make it as prefect as it could be. All the songs are bops and there is zero skips.

    It is their debut album and definitely sounds greats. Every song has different and unique elements that makes you wanna hear more. However, it is too short :(

    my expectations for this album were REALLY big but it exceeded my expectations fr. unfortunately it has only 8 songs but maybe is meant to be like this because the 8 songs connect so well with each other

    O Álbum é ótimo, as meninas brilharam como sempre, elas nunca erram no que fazem, sinceramente não entendo como tem críticos que não sabem avaliar algo direito sem deixar a xenofobia de lado.

    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.
