    First ever non-English album that I listened to from start to finish and couldn't wait to replay all over again. Their vocals are so beautiful, even the rappers sing too which isn't something we see quite often. The Korean parts don't sound foreign at all, just like Latin music you can jam to the beats and sing out the catchy bits without knowing what it means.

    Everything about this album make it special. The wait was worth it. Pretty Savage and Crazy Over You are the best songs aside from How You Like That. Best debut album for a kpop act.

I am not a huge kpop listener, but when I was scrolling through my twitter feed seeing BLACKPINK was set to release another album I knew it worth listening to. And was I right! Particularly I like to compliment Rosé’s singing in this album. She truly grabbed me in and made the song all that much more enjoyable. Rosé, you are amazing. Lovesick girls is on repeat! 10/10 on any day!… Expand

    I have never listened to a whole album and liking all the tracks. Each title track deserve an MV. Even as a fan, we get tired of same styles and same vibe however, this album exceeded all of our expectations as fans. It is definitely one of the best. GRAMMY worthy.

    A true masterpiece. Every song is addictive and leaves you wanting to play it again and again. The BLACKPINK members constantly set the standard for girl groups by always coming back better than ever, and this comeback is no different. Definitely the most talented at what they do, BLACKPINK has left me craving for more music, and I absolutely cannot wait for their next release!

    Ice Cream and How You Like That were really poor pre-releases that set the tone for the overall album, that feels outdated and somewhat stuck in the early 2000s. Even the Cardi B feature could not save it from being mediocre at best. After waiting for nearly four years for a full album, I was really dissappointed by the lacklustre quality and lack of songs.

    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.
