    The Album is such an amazing debut album, the quality it contains, it's a good start to get the general public, it has a vibe from '10s pop and such good hip-hop elements, it's the way they actually represent the name of the group through the music and has good collaborations in it, I love it!

    This album pretty much saved 2020. Despite being only 8 songs it’s very satisfying and you can listen to it on repeat enjoying each song alone. Nowadays, all the songs on an album sound the same, however Blackpink’s album is offering different styles with each song. With undeniably good vocals and rap. The music is catchy. It was really good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BLACKPINK just keeps outdoing themselves with each release, always bringing something new to the table. As a musician, I love noticing every aspect of a song. I hope my thoughts help you appreciate the songs more or at least make you be more self-aware of all the elements.

    1. How You Like That: I admit that when I first heard the single, I hadn't liked it because I was still new to Korean music and I'm normally put off by trap elements, but after a few more listens, the song grew on me. It's really interesting melody-wise and the off-key "that" part in the chorus is so smart. As a vocalist, I love little things like that. Lisa's rap is definitely a scene-stealer, the instrument in the background has such a unique sound and I would've never imagined it on a rap part. Even though I can't speak Korean, I can't stop singing this song.

    2. Ice Cream: This song was really hard to get into for me. It has silly but fun lyrics and it's raw bubblegum pop, I had only liked Lisa's rap when I first heard it. I came around to appreciate the other rap parts in between the verses and the high notes during the pre-chorus. Selena's voice fits perfectly with BLACKPINK though, it was cool to hear someone from my childhood sing with a group I currently admire. Even though it's my least favorite in the album, it's really fun to sing along to because of its silliness.

    3. Pretty Savage: The title says it all. BLACKPINK didn't come to play around. You could say this is close to a diss track, but it's a really good one. While this song is really hip-hop/trap, it has pop-y elements that actually work pretty well. I'm not too fond of parts like the "oh-oh-oh-oh" because it's been overused, but I think it helps to build up to the badass chorus and give listeners a break from the amount of spicy lyrics. Also, Jisoo finally said "BLACKPINK in your area"!

    4. Bet You Wanna: This bubblegum pop/rap song has a lot of interesting factors. Rosé's voice stands out the most for me, she pulls off some amazing Ariana Grande-like melodies and harmonies, especially by the end. It's a really catchy song, I love the chorus and bridge. I really wanted to hear Jennie and Lisa rap with Cardi though.

    5. Lovesick Girls: I will say I thought I'd hate the song because of the teasers, but I was wrong. The song kicks off with an amazing beat and guitar that generate such a great mood already. I'm personally in love with Lisa's and Jennie's rap, the lyrics are perfect and the electronic notes playing in the background bring me back to the good ol' mainstream pop days. While the chorus IS as pop-y as I had expected, it doesn't bother me because the lyrics are good and it surprisingly fits the song really well. Shout out to the Rosé rap-like bridge, and congrats to Jennie and Jisoo for finally getting writing credits!

    Side story: A friend asked me what the song was about because he got confused over "We were born to be alone, but why we still looking for love?" So I analyzed it for a few seconds and I realized it could be interpreted as searching for self-love as well, which I think is very clever.

    6. Crazy Over You: Jennie starts off strongly on this one. I can't get "I've been known to kiss and tell, send girls to wishing wells" out of my head, haha. It's such a badass verse. Can we talk about the flute (or whatever instrument that is)? It's really impressive how well it goes with the electronic elements. Overall, it's a really sexy song and I dig it so much, I wanna dance along to it!

    7. Love To Hate Me: This is my favorite of the album. It was really hard to come to this conclusion because all the songs are good, but damn, this one, the vocals and melodies are from another world. The verses have such a nice flow going on with its fun lyrics and soft vocals, I'm obsessed. They're followed by powerful high notes and then sassy rap breaks to finish it off with a cool chorus. When Lisa's rap comes off later, it just takes your breath away. Like, how did this song get even better?

    8. You Never Know: Jisoo starts off this song so beautifully with sweet piano chords playing beside her. Then we get to hear Lisa's soft voice right after, I honestly love hearing her sing since she mostly gets rap verses. This song feels emotional from the start, it feels personal, whether or not you know BLACKPINK's story and what they go through every day. Usually, ballads tend to be last on my rankings because I simply would rather jam to something fun, but this is one of my favorites from the album. Side note: I love how Lisa starts off the second verse, such a cool melody.

    If I had to rank the tracks, it would be something like this. I judge songs based on lyrics, instrumental and vocal melodies, and the level of freshness, I don't like listening to things I've heard before.

    I loved it!! But I also found that the negative user reviews were coming from fans of BTS. Interesting? But since anyone can pretty much stream it, don't take my word for it. Check it out. It is entirely refreshing. There is nothing like it out there. Blackpink always seems to amaze me. They are not like your typical Kpop group.

    This album exceeded all my expectations, it brought different genres and showed the diversity of BLACKPINK. They delivered something superior and unique, they have been making history since their debut and with the release of their first album wouldn't be any different. The only possible score to give "The Album" is ten.
    Los Angeles Times review was equivocal to say at least, Mikael Wood    This album exceeded all my expectations, it brought different genres and showed the diversity of BLACKPINK.

The only possible score to give "The Album" is ten.
    Los Angeles Times review was equivocal to say at least, Mikael Wood conclusion was confusing, the affirmations of being ok to be like a transmission from a previous era but then giving BLACKPINK's "The Album" a score of 50 and also mentioning another group with a totally different concept from what BLACKPINK has showed is quite infuriating.    … Expand

    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.
