    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. Some killer Bsides here too, Baby Blue Love is my favourite which was written by Nayeon, SOS (lyrics by Dahyun) is also a bop! All the B-sides (apart from English version of Cry for ME) haveTWICE have done it again!

Some killer Bsides here too, Baby Blue Love is my favourite which was written by Nayeon, SOS (lyrics by Dahyun) is also a bop! 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

    This is my favorite summer k-pop album, all the songs have a personality and stick out from each other. First Time is my personal favorite, but the choice of using Alcohol-Free as the title track was amazing, the bossa nova style showed the amazing range and diversity TWICE has within their title tracks.

    One of my favorite albums to be released this year. It’s arguably one of their most cohesive bodies of work to date, with songs that all line up to the central theme of album. Further, it showcases the girls’ ability to work as both performers and lyricists. Looking through their discography reveals their growth as writers with 5 of the 6 songs in this work being penned by a member. It’sOne of my favorite albums to be released this year.

    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.

    Twice never lets you down, I have to say it's one of the best albums they have, and what makes it better is that all the b-sides were written by the members. Truly an amazing album.

    Amazing! Splendid! A masterpiece! TWICE as always, delivered an art in the form of music, abused their talent, did their best, delivered everything to the fans, everything. The album itself is amazing, I'm proud of the beautiful EP that was added to the most amazing discography of all time.

    Enjoyable and cohesive album. TWICE keep showing us how good they are in terms of quality and versatility. The only thing that seems out of the place is the title track, but this is kinda irrelevant.

    The EP, from start to finish, makes you feel all the different emotions when you fall in love. From the summery and light feeling in Alcohol-Free and First Time to the daring and provocative track, Scandal. Such a fun mini album written, mostly, by the members of the group surely deserves a lot of love!

    as gatas fazem tudo, avisa que sao as maiores. desde sempre inovando em conceitos e sem medo de arriscar, taste of love veio reafirmar a versatilidade do grupo e a capacidade de explorar diversos generos e interpreta-los da maneira que só o twice faz. album perfeito, no qual as integrantes escreveram as musicas e participaram na criação do mesmo, impecáveis.

    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.
