    Never in my life have expected such artistry from Blackpink at this moment, knowing that this is their first ever full album,although, with the lack of number of tracks, this album shows another side of Blackpink that truly proves they're not just a "Girl-crush" type-of-concept Girl group, Definitely 10s across the board for me!

    amazing album, the tracklist is very good, incluiding the features! Lovesick Girls is the best song on the album and one of the best songs of blackpink!

    This is how you enjoy music without even knowing the meaning of the korean lyrics, proving how they be producing good musics and literally no skip songs on this album. Lovesick Girls is their best song. It’s pure perfection. I don't know why some people don't like Ice Cream...that is one of the my favourite song in this album.

    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.
