    I rarely ever listen to every song on an EP or album because sometimes there's a few "filler" songs that I don't really like, but I could listen to Taste of Love all the way through without skipping any. Each song carried a consistent vibe throughout the entire EP. I especially like First Time and Scandal.

    My girls did so well. Always being themselves and fyi they wrote all the songs themselves except for the title track. Congratulations girls for always being yourself and always giving us contents

    This is such an amazing album, no matter how much I listen, the songs never get boring. Although I didn't quite like the title track at first, I have to admit it's quite catchy. The other songs are just pure perfection I must say.

Uno de los mejores álbumes de kpop que ha sido escrito por las miembros del mismo grupo, el title track es una elección segura y buena, los bsides son impresionantes y escritos por ellas, First time es mi elección como mejor bside, tiene muy buenas vocales y baby blue love es una canción que le encanta a la mayoría del público

    Taste of Love is one of the most amazing and nicest albums I've ever heard this year! It gives a great vibe of summer, makes you dance and talks about love with delicacy and happiness. The songs beside the title are awesome and very well written and composed. Is good to see the artist involved on the lyrics from the album and I hope to see Twice create like this even more in the future!

    I love how TWICE wants to switch up their genre every album and this album proves that they can really pull of every music style. I also love how most of the girls wrote most of the songs in this EP and how it was beautifully arranged. Honestly, this album is my favorite album from TWICE.

    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

    Twice growth over the years amazed me. Their songs, albums and lyricism grow and mature with them. I always look forward every time they release an ep or album cause I know it is worth of my money and they do not disappoint and Taste of Love is a living proof to that. The member written songs convey deep connection with them and the fandom through their music. More albums to come.

Alcohol Free is a great title that represents the album and not to mention it's pretty different for Twice title tracks too. Definitely an ear worm and a great intro to the album. Album has a very retro feeling which I really love

I totally would like to see more retro from them.
    The members vocals were on point and harmonies were amazing. The only downside is album's too short. I want to listen to this great piece of art work more but that's understandable in a streaming era.

    Apart from the bossa-nova, Latin inspired title track, the whole album in itself boasts tracks with lyrics written by the members themselves. They deliver it like the rent is due, and thus it comes out as one of their top works in their stretching discography. This proves that they can be given any genre and still nail it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Taste of Love by TWICE is just the perfect definition of a summer bop. Starting with Alcohol-Free that transports the listeners to a relaxing tropical paradise drunk in love. With a Bossa nova/ latin vibe, the 9 member group marks the beginning of summer. Followed by First Time that leaves you with that fleeting butterfly feeling. Jade Thirlwall from "Little Mix" said that she reserved the song for quite a while now, but has finally found the right time and group for the song. Next is Scandal and Conversation with the bass-driven beat perfect for those parties at night by the beach. Baby Blue Love with those upbeat and hard-hitting drums has the fastest bpm among all the songs; and SOS, a perfect track for that night-drive ending the masterpiece of an album. The 6 track album also flaunts the member's writing potentials as 5/6 are self-written by Nayeon (Baby Blue Love), Jihyo (First Time), Dahyun (SOS and Scandal), and Sana (Conversation). For a mostly self-written album, Taste of Love is nothing short of a masterpiece. In the context of TWICE's diverse discography, this is another step forward in their undeniable growth not just as idols, but as artists maturing with their sound. Expand

    I went into this EP and not having a lot of high expectations other than it being a decent pop EP, and it was. On the opening track, "Alcohol-Free," we get this blend of bossa nova guitar-playing and electronic beats, which admittedly I found to be intriguing. But overall, that song wasn't particularly noteworthy compared to all of the other tracks.

But overall, that song wasn't particularly noteworthy compared to all of the other tracks. My favorite song on the EP, "Scandal," has a groovy bassline, catchy beats, and lyrics that are almost poetic in a way. For instance, in the hook, it goes: "Baby, we're scandal, way too hot to handle, you can't keep your eyes off, my love is like a candle." I think that using candles as a metaphor for short-lived relationships is very underutilized, in my opinion. My least favorite track, "Baby Blue Love," sounds like a bizarre déjà vu of a bunch of 90s dance-pop songs that I feel like everyone has heard before; so, it's kind of like "why are we here again?" Overall, I found this EP to be pretty enjoyable for its 17-minute run-time.

    Overall score: 7/10

    Taste of Love consegue ser o álbum perfeito para o verão e ainda melhor para as outras estações do ano
    Desde sua title com uma Bossa Nova leve e contagiante até mesmo em suas b-sides mostrando o por que o twice recebe tantas críticas positivas em relação as suas escritas

    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.
