    Some of my favorite bsides from them yet! Summery, playful, it's got something for everyone. As a long-time fan, I can proudly say they continue to captive and impress me with every release. The groovy basslines and sultry tones are a trademark of TWICE's recent releases and I'm loving it. Can't wait to see what they surprise us with next! Proud of you always, TWICE.

    Esse álbum é incrível, as bsides são muito boas e possuem a escrita de integrantes do grupo, acho ótimo a participação delas no trabalho e de como se envolvem de verdade, SOS e baby blue love são minha preferidas do álbum! E mesmo assim as outras são ótimas também, um trabalho incrível TWICE

    Baby blue love, Scandal, First time, and Conversation are so good and addictive, specially Scandal. The beats, the melodies and the lyrics of their b-sides are all amazing !

    Taste of Love is a huge masterpiece ever. The members even wrote all 5 of the tracks. My favourite is 'Baby Blue Love' written by the center Nayeon and 'First Time' written by the leader Jihyo. I love all the songs in the album . Keep making songs like these please.

    The songs choice really creates an incredible connection within the whole project's theme. 5/6 songs being written by TWICE members gives it a personal touch, perfect for those fresh and juvenile, but retro rythmes that accompain the lyrics that talk about experiencing love and characterizing it not only as a feeling but an object, a season and even a color.

    All the songs on the album are incredibly catchy, my favourite one being First Time (written by member Jihyo herself). I'm very happy about the girls participating in the creative process, all of their self written songs have been proved to be the best, and the ones on this EP are not an exception. I'm proud of the girls, they worked so hard!

    Twice is the best third generation girlgroup and taste of love is in fact one of the best albums of their career, with bsides written by the members and a great title for the summer!

    I could easily give TWICE a full 10 on this album but that would be very biased, especially because I am a once. Although the album is great, it is not as impressive as eyes wide open in my opinion (the album which I believe deserves a perfect score). However, I am in love with the b-sides.
