    Extremamente genérico. É igual a qualquer mini álbum delas. Músicas ruims que são plágios e só feitas para hitar.

    El album mas básico de estas mancas y, aun así, sus fans se atreven a dejar malas reseñas en otros album de kpop que debutaron en esta plataforma. Solo les gusta la música básica y para mover la cuca asquerosa que tienen.
    Lastima que la critica apoye a otros álbum y tengan mejor reseña que este álbum mediocre.

    This is NOT music. All the songs sound alike, they didn't sing much, just speak some random words. And 8 songs for an album? Is this a joke?

    Some of the sons are really good and have some deep like Love To Hate Me or You Never Know which was a pleasant surprise, however, sadly, most of the songs follow the same formula blackpink have been stuck for years, the similar beats, the similar lyrics. of course it works, that’s why they use that formula so much, the problem is, at some point it becomes tiring.

    This can't even be considered an album, it was a release with so much publicity and it was short and mediocre, you can see the desperation of the company for wanting to take a group to a market that requires a quality contribution.

    The musicality is awful. Only the last 2 songs are good but all the others songs are too much noisy.

    album nada inovador, musicas ultrapassadas que parece ter saído de 2010, como o crítico falou ainda bem que só são 8 faixas ninguém aguentaria escutar mais que isso

    I wish Blackpink would bring more versions of themselves. The first time I saw them getting a little away from the same concept was Ice cream, and if I must say, what a huge fail. The album is short, only 6 new songs, and at least 3 of them I just cant remember because it felt it was really the same song. When are we going to get more than 10 musics a year?

    Todo el album suena igual, el album mas mediocre hechop por una girl band que no influye en nada. Dede tonos repetitibos como DUDUDU THAT THAT THAT ICE CREAMINGGG, letras que ni ellas mismas se dignan a escribir y album en donde no pusieron un dedo de ayuda
    1, por LoveSick Girls, a pesar de tener pesima letra y voz, lo salva los ritmos

    Al tener una poca cantidad de canciones, el concepto y ritmos de las canciones te hacen pensar que son la misma canción (ej. pretty savage, crazy over you, how you like that). Ice cream sería la ecepcion ante el ritmo, porque es bastante fácil de identificar con respecto a los demás temas
    Las letras no eran innovadoras, todas las canciones tocaba la misma temática

    Tienen una ventaja de tener varias canciones en Inglés, para así llegar a más publico, así que pensé que iban a mostrar una letra más potente/fuerte o ligados a otros temas, pero no fue así, siguieron con lo mismo, y no han un trasfondo en ella, no muestra el sentimiento de las chicas solo nos dicen que son mejores que otros pero ahí termina su letra, sus voces no se proyecta en cada una de las canciones, los rap, me causan cierta decepción porque ni siquiera se si ellas mismas escribieron sus versos o otro las escribió por ellas (lo más probable)
    El álbum se siente como querer buscar validación con solo melodía sin letra ni canto, gran producción pero sin calidad absoluta. La única balada presente, esta de sobra entre las demás canciones del álbum, se siente como si se colocara solo para bajar la intensidad de los demás canciones o para querer justificar que pueden mostrar algo más que melodía, pero fracasan al no mostrar las voces de cada miembro, es una valida plana sin sentimiento, muy por debajo de su antecesora Hope Not

    o novo mini álbum do blackpink é totalmente decadente, não saindo muito da sua fórmula base a girlband não inova trazendo novos gêneros ou diversidade musical.

O álbum é basicamente composto por samples não creditadas e em umas das faixas inclusive faz apologias a gordofobia. As colaborações são totalmente uma porcaria que são totalmente desprezíveis, tendo sua única função como o aumento das vendas no mercado ocidental. O mv de lovesick girls cópia uma parte do clipe da girlband britânica little mix shout out to my ex. Em conclusão o álbum é composto por canções genéricas, e vende a música como produto comercial e não arte.… Expand

    The title track was good. But, the rest of the tracks were "meh". But, it's their first full album, so maybe we'd see better tracks for the next one. Ice Cream wad also highly anticipated, but disappointed me greatly.

    The album was underwhelming. Some of the songs gave early 2010’s vibes except the beats and songs didn't feel cohesive

    Su participación en sour candy empezó con expectativas altas pero a medida que iban sacando más canciones, estás solo fueron en retroceso.

How you like that se convierte en otra canción más, ese típico estilo que llega a aburrir, pero si hablamos de aburrir realmente, entonces hay que mencionar ice cream, una colaboración con Selena Gómez dejaba un aire de curiosidad. Pero la escuché y para cuando recordé ya había terminado. No era pegadiza y tampoco buena, más bien era extraña y sin duda su peor canción. Lovesick girl no es del todo mala, empieza con buen ritmo y buenas voces y para cuando llega al coro todo cae en picada. Bet you wanna parecía ser otra promesa debido a la participación de Cardi B, pero al final ¿qué culpa tiene cardi de que la hayan agregado a la -posiblemente- segunda peor canción del álbum?
    El resto de las canciones no valen la pena ser mencionadas. Para ser el primer álbum después de 4 años de carrera no hay duda alguna que los fans aceptan esto, porque es mejor algo a nada.
    El único punto que doy es porque Love to hate me es de hecho, una buena canción hasta que llega la parte innecesaria del rap. Si hubiese sido una canción que se dedicara solo a lo vocal, tal vez, habría sido la canción que salvara el álbum. Tal vez.    … Expand

    Only 8 songs after 4 years? And the quality being so half a**ed at that from the album name to the visual production. They had quite a few new producers and writers on this project and yet it sounds like a completely recycled concept of their older tracks even the choreo is quite lame and outdated.

The David Guetta production was perhaps the most obvious difference lovesick girls sounds like a HIT ....if it were 2010. Maybe not even than due to the horrible chorus and predictable lyrics. The features were the only highlight of the entire album and still managed to be underwhelming and uncohesive both lyrically and production wise the other album tracks arent even memorable to mention. The only difference on this album is that majority of the songs are in English very strange considering they a korean group yet their debut album has more english in it than korean? This move just lacks a certain musical integrity in other words ....sell outs. This album was a solid 0/10 not even the visuals can save this mediocre farce.… Expand

    In first place, this album should be a mini-album, because it has only 8 songs. I really expected more, and even bought the physical album. They keep using the same techniques, so their songs, to me, sound repetitive. Also, I feel that the collaborations were unnecessary, they don't contribute anything.

    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.
