The members have so much chemistry together and we definitely saw an improvement in their artistry. Rosé’s magical voice is the top tier in this album. We already knew she was a talented vocalist but with this album, she’s the one who shined the most. She has one of those voices, that makes you feel every single emotion, happy sad angry whatever. That’s how powerful she is. And funny little note, I love how sometimes her Australian accent comes out. It’s so cute!
    The Queen of Rap is back. Blinks have been *impatiently* waiting for the queen, and when she comes she never disappoints. In terms of female kpop rappers, Jennie is undoubtedly the best one out there. Her rhythm, her tone and her swag are what all wannabe rappers wish they had. But not only does she thrive in rapping, she’s also a wonderful vocalist. Her notes so well done.
    Jisoo’s the one who stood out the most for me in this album. We all know she’s a wonderful vocalist and so under appreciated, but this album she threw me away. Her husky tone voice is so special in makes me feel so at ease every time her part comes out, especially in “You Never Know”. She’s usually the one who has the least lines, but this album we finally saw how great she can be when given an opportunity.
    Now we close with the maknae of the group, miss Lisa. My bias.. she wrecked me. In. Every. Single. Track. There’s something so special about her that many don’t have or wished they had. Her swag is out of this world every time she raps. She and Jennie are definitely the two best female, or should I say, rappers in general. Although I wished to hear more of Vocalist Lisa, the parts she sang were great. And she could even be mistaken as a Lead a vocalist. In conclusion, the wait was long. 4 years to be exact. Do I wish it had more songs? Yeah of course. But am I happy with what we got? HELL YAH. Is this album of year material? HELL YAHHHHHH. The girls outdid themselves with this album and i’m so happy to see them finally getting the recognition they so deserve after some many other fandoms hate targeted them. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, you guys are awesome so incredibly talented. Cant wait what you have in store for us in the future!

    Amazing first full length album. So much emotion put into one Masterpiece. Each tracks has different raw emotions and each has its own vibes. The Album itself is a BOP with so much Swag. Korean Pop music crossing over to an electro pop, hip hop, and trap with a mix of R & B. Love it!

    This album is really good. Every song is a bop at its own finest. 8 songs and each deserves a music video. I need a visual album for this.
