    This is probably one of the best music albums I've ever heard. Most albums have one or two hit songs and the rest are just average. But in this one, every single one is a masterpiece in music.

    This album have 8 songs, and every single song are perfect. Totally art of work by BLACKPINK and YG Ent. I love the uniqueness in all of it. 8 songs itself have different genre i think. So addictive, and it's a masterpiece. Very very worth to buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole album is full of bops. It's basically bop after bop, and it's hard to choose which one is the best. We can listen how much efford Blackpink members put into making this album as best as possible. This album gave me goosebumps during first listen. It's basically perfect album (but personally Ice Cream is kinda like worse sibilings in this album for me)… Expand

    The album is very good. The concepts of the songs are varied and complete. You can have strength and feel the sincere love in its lyrics. During my analysis of the mum, I found wonderful things and meanings concealed in it. Rap ​​was perfect. The vocals line was calm and strong. Blackpink demonstrated their universality and fame this week.

    This album is amazing, every single track has it's own flavor, every track differs from each other and the whole album represents blackpink on it's own.
    The Album is literally a masterpiece and no wonder everyone's drooling over it. Blackpink really brought something new and fresh to the table.

    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.
