    There's a reason why TWICE is the best selling girl group. Their albums are always amazing and they're truly no skips. Taste of Love is the perfect summer album. It tells a story from beginning to end that leaves you breathless. Each song takes you on it's experience. It's even more amazing that the members wrote the bsides, it just shows how talented they are. Well done TWICE.

    The album was extraordinarily well made and fit into the theme of summer. The title track, Alcohol Free, is an amazing, and catchy song. 5/6 of the b-sides were written by the members. One english song although the members are non-english speakers which is magnificent. The album was really well prepared and enjoyable to listen to.

    One of the few girlgroups who experiment with their sound and goes well! Spreading positivism and empowerment, Taste of Love truly impacts your life. Going from a calm scene at the beach with Alcohol-Free to feeling like the main character, bringing nostalgia with the use of a synth for Baby Blue Love.

    Taste of Love by TWICE is a perfect 10/10 album!! It definitely shows their growth as music artists as they explore more genres and concepts that they haven't tried before. As a Once, I'm really proud of them since they have one of the most diverse discographies in Kpop. Congrats to TWICE!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to start?

    Taste of Love has 7 different rhythms in one place, starting with the title track "Alcohol-Free", it has a rhythm that no k-pop group has used before, as well as having a dynamic choreography and a catchy melody. Continuing with "First Time", a song written by leader Jihyo, it shows how love feels for the first time with a more sensual theme but without losing the charm of TWICE, besides having Jade as a songwriter, it's a total bop. "Scandal" is next on the list, written by lead rapper Dahyun (Spoiler, it's not the only song she writes on this album), it shows a rhythmic bass and more inclined towards rock as well as having very unique lyrics (My personal favorite). The one that follows is "Conversation" written by Sana who is lead dancer and sub vocal, this song had warned us that it would be a combination between Ariana Grande and Charlie Puth and clearly it was, it shows a more pop rhythm with lyrics that are not moves away from the sensual and daring with the chorus: "Let's have a little less conversation". Continuing with the list we find "Baby Blue Love" written by Nayeon, lead vocal and center of the group, this song is more cheerful and all the voices complement each other quite well, in addition to having a harmonious ending that makes you want to listen to it many times. Reaching the end of the list we can hear "SOS" also written by Dahyun mentioned above, this song is sadder but definitely not lacking in charm, besides the phrases: "SOS, I like ya like that" are iconic and as an addition. , is the song with the most even lines on the album. For those of you who bought the album and have a CD player, you can find the song "Cry for Me" in English. What else can you say about this song that hasn't been said before? "It's just gorgeous. Show a side of TWICE that we don't see very often, plus it's very well translated.

    In short, TWICE has reached other limits with "Taste of Love", showing that they can be very versatile, changing their concept quickly but adapting completely to whoever they want. Only TWICE can surpass TWICE.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album starts off with a chill bossa nova that doesn’t disappoint and goes into a classical summertime vibe, it gives me a feeling of a road trip with friends, starting off strong and colorful with alcohol free but leaping into the beats and drops of first time, tiptoeing on the horizons of scandal though it’s loud and brave it seems like it wants to be kept a secret, moving on into conversation that is just so simple, honest and flirty, basically jumping into the rink that is baby blue love skating through a high of it’s grooviness and lastly landing on SOS a train station- esque ride that gives a retro pop perspective that’s mellow but hopeful that rescue is on the way. I personally just love how the album is like a story of falling in love and the up and downs that come along with it. Twice continues to ride with their intellectuality for making fulfilling music that is never halfway but always complete. Definitely a force to be reckoned with!… Expand

Alcohol Free might not be their best title track as What is Love is soaring higher again but one of the best thing about the album is the bside tracks that was written by all the TWICE members. Probably one of the best albums of them with Fancy You, Feel Special, Twicetagram and Eyes Wide Open.… Expand

    TWICE have done it again! The title track Alcohol Free is unlike anything they've done before, they're always doing something new and it keeps it fresh and exciting even 5+ years into their career.

All the B-sides (apart from English version of Cry for ME) have lyrics written by TWICE members too! They have been writing a lot more of their B-sides the last couple of years which gives the music a more personal touch than some of the more manufactured groups out there. Eyes Wide Open was a tough act to follow and although I do prefer EWO, Taste of Love is completely different yet still fantastic! If you like girl groups and don't already stan TWICE then you need to re-evaluate your life.… Expand

    Twice keeps proving themselves to be a group not only highly involved in the process of making their own music, but to be compromised with themselves as artists who bravely take on new sounds (like bossa-nova in the title track Alcohol Free) and rhythms out of the current trend.

    Taste of Love is a good album, but it’s too “good” and not enough “wow” for its own good. TWICE can do better.

    ‘Taste Of Love’ is one of TWICE’s more powerful releases yet – despite a number of notable misfires – and showcases the group’s versatility in terms of vocals and concept execution.

    Taste of Love is one of TWICE’s most cohesive and dazzling albums thus far. It’s fun, mature and makes a great contribution to our current pop-sphere with its retro-sonic aesthetics and escapist feel.
