    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found the songs very generic, besides that they don't innovate anything, the instrumentals, clips, songs are everything they've released years ago, in a way, everything recycled........ Expand

    The album sounds basic. They did try new things this time however it still can't save them from being mediocre. The lyrics are the worst giving a major pick-me I'm different than you vibe but disguise a empower feminist for some reasons

    Álbum que destaca por su mediocridad y cero originalidad. Canciones con letras sin sentido, vacías y ritmos repetitivos siguiendo la misma línea de sus trabajos anteriores.

    At this point you can't have expectations from them.
    All songs are recycled and all the "new" ones are heavily sampled to the point that they can't even be called original. Just like before this album also doesn't reflect any of the member

    Waited 2 years, what a disappointment. Their music has been going downhill everything time they release something new. This album is worst than the one before. The lyrics are cringe and the instrumental can be better.

    They didn't evolve at all. It's supposedly the most awaited kpop album of the year, after 2 years of hiatus, but it just sounds bland and more of the same to me. The lyrics are super cringe and they keep repeating the same formula and themes from all their releases. The main tracks as always full of repetitive catchphrases, "ratatas", empty lyrics that brag about their life and fame andThey didn't evolve at all.

The main tracks as always full of repetitive catchphrases, "ratatas", empty lyrics that brag about their life and fame and how they're better than everyone droping brand names all the time. It doesn't speak to me and it's honestly tiring to keep hearing it from them all the time, feels like that's all the group is about. It also bothers me how the two main tracks are essentially the same in this aspect. Typa Girl and Tally also have cringe and imature lyrics in my opinion, but although I like the vocals for Typa Girl, I just can't listen to these songs. Yeah 3x and Hard to Love were the ones that stood out the most to me. Overall it's an album that feels almost roughly done or rushed, it doesn't have sentiment and sincerity and just repeats their formula milking their so called "identity". Expand

    Sorry... this completely trash. There's no creativity at all. Some songs are just dumb lyrics, same beat and one song is cover by Baby Rexha's demo version.And they don't even give her proper credit. And pink venom completely stealed lyrics from Legendary black artists.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Album filled with numerous samples, majority of the lyrics especially in Pink venom and shut down make no sense. There’s literally no tale to tell, no coordination or story telling. Concepts are nonexistent. The sampled instrumental especially in shut down was ofcourse great. The highlight of the album boiled down to its great visuals and nothing more. Just sounds and instrumentals. Expand

    I’m really disappointed… after more than 2 years, they make an album with some demo which were already on internet and they didn’t write anything again. In Type of girl their voices sounds robotic (?)it’s so annoying. Their lyrics are dumb sometimes, it’s frustrating. I’m truly sad and I regret waiting so patiently 2 YEARS for nothing but boring songs

    My daughter enjoyed this album and even though I’ve never listened to Black Pink I decided to give it a try. It wasn’t terrible, just wasn’t that interesting to listen to and even though there were a few insightful lyrics overall it just didn’t grab me. Maybe the next album…

    Mediocre songs , Lazy production , same type of boring lyrics and bragging about money and high end brands It doesnt live at all to the reputation of the biggest girl group , such an undeserved title and such a media overrated album. After waiting for 2yrs I really had such high expectations but I was severlly disappointed If they continue like this they will nevrr have the same success again

    Another disappointing album. Difficult to class it as an album considering it doesnt often alot of new music. The sound and lyrics are repetitive as their old music. Nothing stands out as unique. The excessive use of slang and aave is off-putting. The message they choose to deliver through their music is once again, repetitive and meaningless.

    Very mediocre, noisy at times. No lyricism, but the group didn’t write any of the lyrics, so can’t blame them. Very mid music, but they also didn’t write any of it.

    Disgusting, as expected, even during the tour I still had hope, but after hearing their lousy vocals (when they didn't lip-sync basically 80% of the show) It was clear to me that they don't have an ounce of talent, they couldn't even contribute to the album themselves.

    Decepcionante. Sinceramente crei que las chicas nos tendrian algo nuevo para mostrar, lamentablemente solo hubo un par de cambios, mismos sonidos, temas iguales y no hay nada relevante que hayan escrito. Las interpretes pueden ser lindas pero no salvan el álbum que es de mala calidad.

    The execution itself often falls frustratingly flat, lacking originality and a clear-cut focus. With its limited scope of musical conceptions, Born Pink, therefore, sounds strangely restricted, as if detained in a confined space wherein it longs to escape.
  2. 60
    On ‘Born Pink’, BLACKPINK tread familiar thematic territory for pop music, but the imagery – finding solace from heartbreak at the bottom of a bottle (‘The Happiest Girl’), boasting about being the type of girl you take to your “mama house” (‘Typa Girl’) – isn’t particularly novel, though they have effectively applied a personal touch in the past (see Jennie’s ‘Solo’).

    “Born Pink” is occasionally galvanic, and occasionally iterative. When the group does push into new territory — or more accurately, unshackles itself from familiar ground — it doesn’t leave much of an impact.
