    I’m not surprised it took 4 years for them to have a full album. They really said quality over quantity. I know the moment I decided to stan these girls, I will not be disappointed with whatever they released. This album is everything we (blinks) been asking for and Blackpink gave us all. Their vocals and rap parts were perfect. Literally no skip.

    BLACKPINK is a group that makes you fall in love with them and keep you wanting more. This Album portrays the different styles BLACKPINK is capable of pulling off. Each and every song is so catchy, and I can't wait for their next release. KPOP Titans indeed.

    And the lyrics and messages in each song, I never thought that I would cry to an upbeat song, but Lovesick Girls did that to me.

Please disregard all those negative reviews that are only there as an insult to Blackpink. The girls said it best there are people out there that "Love to Hate" them and will gladly go out of their way and waste their time to try sabotage them by leaving a review for an Album they probably didnt even listen to.

    The Album has no fillers, each track can be a hit on its own.
    The vocals from all 4 members are the highlight.

    i've been a blink since the start of this year. i've always viewed their music as very fun and not necessarily trying to be deep or meaningful. there's nothing wrong with that, but with this album, blackpink proved they could be more than a group that makes fun music and can explore a range of topics.

    the defining song of this album is definitely "lovesick girls". it's an anthemic song

    the defining song of this album is definitely "lovesick girls". it's an anthemic song that explores why people continue to seek love and validation after being hurt time and time again. it's a song that doesn't song like it's trying to be a hit, which is a much different direction for the group and shows that, while they can make songs that are pure fun, they can also explore interesting and deep topics.

    i love everything about this album and the girls' vocals really shined, especially on "you never know", another heartfelt song that discussed the rampant harassment of idols.

    i didn't expect to like "bet you wanna" because i'm not the biggest fan of cardi, but it's so chill and almost ethereal that her feature doesn't even bother me.

    i don't have much to say about the other songs, but don't get me wrong, i love them as well. "how you like that" is one of my favorite releases of the year. i'm very impressed by the cohesiveness, an element that was somewhat absent from their past releases, of the album as a whole.

    i really only have 2 complaints about it. i think some of the choruses were a bit underwhelming and pretty savage needed some improvement. but besides that, this might be my favorite album of the year.

    BLACKPINK The Album can be perfectly described as "QUALITY over Quantity" and "a masterpiece" I have never heard an Album where all tracks can be a title track or main track.

    The smooth transitions between high and low pitches with mixtures of sexy-rasp vocals by Rosé and Jisoo. To the gritty cadence of confidence by rappers Jennie and Lisa; makes Blackpink’s The Album a fun, emotional and empowering work of music for 2020. Fans and first time listeners of Blackpink will highly enjoy the experience of each track!

    I was just curious about all that Blackpink fuss about 2 weeks ago. Me not being a great fan of k-pop could have never expected such a “global sound” from The Album. Now, I regret not supporting Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa and Jennie before. Pure GIRL POWER!!! I’m listening to this album on repeat and can’t choose a favorite song yet, LOVE them all.

THE ALBUM isn’t just an album, it’s a cultural reset, a reason to breathe, and an escape from this cruel world. It’s an art, the first gift you open on Christmas, a hug from a loved one. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you’ve ever need. Expand

"Crazy Over You" is probably the riskiest song, and they pull it off great. Not perfectly, but the rest of the album seems to compensate just fine. Truly a masterpiece for K-POP fans or people interested to get into the genre. Expand

    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.
