    This album is very diverse. Blackpink has definitely matured music wise and experimented with music different from their previous works. Definitely an album worth listening to. It has a little something for everyone to enjoy. This album best describes quality over quantity.

    The best kpop album i've heard in a long time. The album is short, granted. But it doesn't bore you for a second. It explores a variety of genres hiphop,edm,trap,rnb and even bubblegum. And it all comes together in a cohesive way with a theme of self love and empowerment. Every song hits home. look up the translations of the lyrics (not on google for god's sake that thing is just wrong) onThe best kpop album i've heard in a long time. The album is short, granted.

    The Album does a great job in showcase exactly what Blackpink is. It's a perfect sound for their debut album. Where all the four members shine and show exactly why this group is the best group in the world at the moment.

    The eight songs are incredible, each one has a different style that catches you, makes you want to listen to them again and again and dance to them. Plus the 10/10 girl vocals and the raps by Lisa and Jennie too! All 4 of them were great. Album of the year, nothing more to say.

Blackpink explores a variety of genres and resources while still keeping their own sound, the one that makes you think 'this is Blackpink'. So glad every member had their time to shine, especially because they were so happy about it. Also glad that YGE is starting to give them more freedom, they really deserve it. My favorite tracks are Love To Hate Me and You Never Know, the first one is a catchy song while the second one is a powerful ballad whose message is full of truth. So proud of BLACKPINK. Expand

    The Album is a masterpiece that encompasses the essence of Blackpink from its lyrics, down to its production. Blackpink has certainly outdone themselves from the song How You Like that until the lyrical and last piece of The Album-You never Know. The Album truly deserves the name of “The Album”. I look forward to more projects that Blackpink will do in the future.

    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.
