    When positioned against their previous releases, ‘Formula Of Love: O+T=˂3’ paints a picture of a masterful act, one who has learned to wield their talent and concept into one cohesive banger after another. TWICE give us “the feels”, and we’re just here to enjoy the ride.

    Não dava nada pra esse álbum antes do lançamento, cheguei a pensar q nada iria superar o 2° álbum de estúdio "Eyes Wide Open" também do Twice, mas quando escutei "Fórmula of Love" pela primeira vez, simplesmente me vi viajando num mundo de explosão de amor e desejos profundos

It is pack of different genres, so prepare yourself with different twirl of emotions! My fave is MOONLIGHT as it automatically lifts my mood and gives good energy vibes.

The girls did a great job with their sub-units, being lyricists, composer, etc. This is my fave album so far!! Very deserving of the rating and hopefully they'll receive an award in the future.

    La primera mitad del disco es en su mayoría canciones muy bien logradas con influencias de pop ochentero, de las cuales me parece destacable Fall in love again (las voces de nayeon y jihyo suenan muy bien en las notas altas y en el coro, y siempre que la escucho me dan ganas de bailar) después esta last waltz que tiene un aire de dramático, y en la que destaca para mi la voz de Sana,La primera mitad del disco es en su mayoría canciones muy bien logradas con influencias de pop ochentero, de las cuales me parece destacable Fall in love again (las voces de nayeon y jihyo suenan muy bien en las notas altas y en el coro, y siempre que la escucho me dan ganas de bailar) después esta last waltz que tiene un aire de dramático, y en la que destaca para mi la voz de Sana, también es una canción muy buena en la que TWICE sigue explorando con nuevos sonidos. Rewind es una canción que hace bajar el ritmo y prepara al oyente para Cactus, Cactus fue co producida y dirigida por Jihyo y es un buen resultado para su primera vez componiendo, es como balada pop/rock de los 2000, el trabajo hecho en las voces es excelente ya que se puede sentir la emoción y esfuerzo de cada una.
    Push and pull vuelve a subir el animo, es una canción muy alegre en la cual las voces transmiten diversión, jihyo rapeó bien. Hello es una canción con un beat muy bueno, es energético y el pre coro es diferente pero conecta bien con el resto de la canción, chaeyoung rapea y canta muy bien, Momo me sorprendió porque transmite la idea de la letra y me encanta que rapea después de un buen tiempo, Nayeon rapea por 2da vez desde que esta en TWICE y lo hizo bien. 1, 3, 2, es una canción en la que el beat combina bien con varios sonidos como de viento "orientales" y desprende sensualidad y ganas de bailar, me encantan los adlibs y como cada una de las chicas destaca.
    The feels: realmente uno de las mejores canciones de kpop en ingles, con un coro super fuerte, donde las voces de nayeon y jihyo muestran buena parte de su capacidad, y aun asi a pesar de la distribución de lineas cada miembro hace una parte memorable.
    Es increíble la calidad del álbum en la que cada canción es diferente, las chicas exploran nuevos facetas (nayeon, jihyo, mina, jeongyeon, como raperas), siguen participando activamente en la creación de las canciones, prueban nuevos sonidos y son capaces de traer géneros que actualmente son muy famosos y hacer que sea memorable. Por el momento el mejor material de TWICE, en el top de los girl groups y del k-pop.    … Expand

Algunas canciones que destacan mucho son Last Waltz, Rewind y HELLO, ya que son algo que nunca habíamos visto por parte de ellas.

    Formula of Love sets the bar for K-Pop. The opening track, "Scientist", is what you'd expect out of a Twice title track. With edgier songs like "Icon" and "Hello" as well as a ballad, "Cactus", among its offerings, this album has something for everyone.

    the title track is disappointing, no distinct melody, sounds very similiar to previous releases. the lyrics are confusing with no clear message. production quality however is decent. the rap parts are unbearable.

    This album explores the quality of the music TWICE's been making in the last couple of years. The versatility of styles they can deliver in 15 songs is insane, from the melodic and slow vibe in "Rewind" to the explosion of joy and expressiveness in "The Feels", and even the elegant and exquisite aura from "Espresso", their identity is showed in every track.

    Formula of Love surpasses expectations, infusing the group's love-centric lyricism with newfound confidence and creative flair. This is one of Twice's most assertive and varied releases to date -- and with a more concise track listing, perhaps their best.

    Formula of Love could have been trimmed to 10 strong cuts and I am sure it would have been one of the tightest Kpop albums in recent years. It’s easy to dismiss it due to the genre it represents, but there was considerable effort put into most of these songs, so it’s worth some listens.
