    an album with extremely generic and bad songs, no creative process and the whole album full of beats and touches of other songs. for a group that took four years to release an album, they shouldn't even have released. This album without creativity is a sonorous horror

    This is by far the best pop album released in recent years. In an age where hip-hop, r&b, and disco tracks are the trend right now, releasing an album like this is risk-taking yet refreshing. I applaud blackpink for bringing back pop nostalgia without it sounding outdated. I look forward to their next project which I believe will be better than this one. They always seem to outdo themselves.

    Here there is music for all tastes, it is a tremendous art made with surgical precision

    It is true that more songs would not have been bad, but it is what there is and art is appreciated and one like this will always be.

    just too short and with repetitive beats, the album is too weak and feels like everything they've released before. both tracks look very weak and don't show everything they could, apart from the lyrics that seem very disjointed and misspelled.

    This group doesn't innovate. The same kind of songs in every album. The album is not interesting to listen to. I hope they can try new sounds on the future, and please, lyrics that doesn't go like pam pam pam rum pum pum. It is fine sometimes but not in every song...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sinceramente, o álbum não é bom… Mistura várias batidas pré fabricadas que todos já ouviram em qualquer “farofa” pop. Tinha potencial por ser o primeiro álbum delas mas não atingiu as expectativas. ICE CREAM: Não é legal fazer uma música com duplo sentido, letra obscena e um mv infantilizado com itens para crianças e atuação infatil… Na verdade isso é muito problemático. PRETTY SAVAGE: Também não é legal ser um grupo que supostamente prega por “empoderamento feminino”, mas fazer uma música cujo a letra exalta corpos magros e desmerece corpos gordos… Sem falar nas comparações baixas e rivalidade feminina. Resumidamente, o álbum não é coeso, não possui nenhuma música marcante para o público e em grande maioria não teve sequer ajuda de alguma membro na composição/produção. Realmente decepcionante.

    This is how you enjoy music without even knowing the meaning of the korean lyrics, proving how they be producing good musics and literally no skip songs on this album. Lovesick Girls is their best song. It’s pure perfection. I don't know why some people don't like Ice Cream...that is one of the my favourite song in this album.

    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.
