    The album is an absolute masterpiece. Each and every song is different and emphasizes the strongest points of each member. The Album shows the many faces of BLACKPINK which will leave you surprised by how versatile the group actually is. One of the best releases so far. It has something for every taste so I highly recommend it! A truly great album.

    I’ve been a k-pop fan since 2011. I stopped by SNSD and 2ne1, the two girl groups that were the biggest. I met BLACKPINK a week ago and they definitely touched me. ‘THE ALBUM’ is one of the best female k-pop albums and definitely the best of recent years. Each song is unique and added to the talent of the girls. Absolutely no one is doing it like them. Wow.

    First ever non-English album that I listened to from start to finish and couldn't wait to replay all over again. Their vocals are so beautiful, even the rappers sing too which isn't something we see quite often. The Korean parts don't sound foreign at all, just like Latin music you can jam to the beats and sing out the catchy bits without knowing what it means.

    Crammed chockfull of crowd-pleasing EDM pyrotechnics and cheeky one-liners, The Album is undeniably a product of a well-oiled, state-of-the-art pop machine, but it feels stuck looking back to tried and true trends in both K-pop and Western pop music.

    The Album showcases their signature style of blending genres and influences to create songs that are just as classically pop as they are identifiably BLACKPINK.

    Overflowing with confidence, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa conquer each track on The Album with their vocal ability (both singing and rapping) and effortless charm, switching up styles to offer something for every type of fan.
