    Listening to this whole EP is like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. It's cool and refreshing, just in time for summer.

    Being TWICE's most critically-acclaimed EP/Album, this clearly showcases the members' talent in songwriting as well. No amount of hate will ever change that.

    Continuing to mature into a more grown-up image, the nine-member K-pop girl group balances self-contentment and romantic confidence with breezy summer thrill-seeking.

    One of their best albums. The fact that the girls wrote the lyrics for all the b-sides makes it more special. Special thanks to Jade (Little Mix) First time is chef’s kiss. They’ve been one of the most hard working and successful groups for a while now, but I hope this is just the beginning of an even brighter future.

    TASTE OF LOVE is very distinguishable from many other kpop albums for good reasons. It has challenged other artists' creativity and versatility and had raised the standards for girl group/kpop/ summer albums. It is amazing how they experiment with bossa nova music which is rare for a kpop and a girl group album, and to execute it well is something else beyond ordinary capabilities.

    So good This album is so cohessive, i loved the innovation with the bossanova sounds, it felt so refreshing. All the b sides are amazing, it really fits the mood of summer. I specially loved Baby Blue Love. Another important point is that all the b sides of this album were written by the members, something that doesn't happen frequently in kpop.

I love all the tracks from the album but my personal faves are S.O.S and Baby Blue Love.
