    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 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

    I think it's refreshing for BLACKPINK to bring back some music styles of the last decade but converting them in something unique. The Album plays well with the production and it makes you want to revisit the songs. As a fan of BLACKPINK, I was worried about this work because I wanted the sound and happily, they did it

    The Album is quite ok, but here some minus points from me: it's too short when it's just has 8 tracks, they should give us an orchestra intro track that would make a connection with How You Like That (just like Lady Gaga has done it with Chromatica intro and interludes), the length of the track are short too, the connection of the tracks is lack too (and I wish Ice Cream was a droplet,The Album is quite ok, but here some minus points from me: it's too short when it's just has 8 tracks, they should give us an orchestra intro track that would make a connection with How You Like That (just like Lady Gaga has done it with Chromatica intro and interludes), the length of the track are short too, the connection of the tracks is lack too (and I wish Ice Cream was a droplet, replace it by As If It's Your Last). But it's good too see Blackpink change their vibe and mood in their music, the alternation of the Black vibe tracks with the Pink vibe tracks are great too, and their some worthy-hearing tracks, like Pretty Savage (it's like 뚜두뚜두) with more perfection in the producion and more quiet in the outro, Lovesick Girls is just likd a club banger which they did it in 2019 with track Don't Know What To Do in their Korean EP Kill This Love but giving us a longer chorus with the brige and the outro looks great, Love To Hate Me reminds me a little bit about In & Out by Red Velvet but with a deep mood beat in the chorus, You Better Know is kinda good song but the autotune in Jisoo post-chorus is weird (?), Crady Over You giving us an Indian-Chinese music vibe, worth to hear too. About Bet You Wanna, just like Cardi B has spoiled, it's a sweet Pop-R&B song, but the autotune has ruined some parts of the song. Overall, The Album is a good start for them to make an official global Studio Album, we can believe that their releases in the future would be more better, giving us quality songs just like they do when their first time apperance in 2016-2017, congrats Blackpink!I give you my 7 (literally I want give them 6.5-6.8 points)… Expand

    Excellent work with unexpected music genres. An potential candidate to be their best album so for.

    it's a banger after a banger. this is blackpink's era. they saved us from this cruel world. they deserve all the best things in life. blackpink world domination, here we go. the only thing that i hate in this album is that it ends.

    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.
