    The Album is a one of the best releases this year. This album showcased BLACKPINK’s versatility as an artist. Each tracks showed each member’s strengths and uniqueness. Lovesick Girls as a title track showed a different side of Blackpink and continued exceed my expectations. This album is a masterpiece, no skips for me here. Congratulations to the girls!

    Great album all-round. Lol at those western editors with low scores. Lowkey they still trying to alienate one of the biggest music industry in the world... Also every song is title track worthy. Ofc it could be mentioned but giving it low score because of it?? Thats just disrespectful and stupid.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best album ever done by the biggest girl group in the world Blackpink. Blink (fandom name) has been waiting for this full length album for many years and it's finally released it. The album has total of 8 tracks (how you like that, ice cream, pretty savage, bet you wanna, lovesick girls, crazy over you, love to hate me & you never know), all of the songs are truly masterpiece & very enjoyable. Although 8 songs wasn't enough for the full length album but it's still a truly piece of artwork Expand

    Best Album Korean group. If only general audience stop being sexist they can break all records. Look how males are more appreciated for making shyt music & girls are less appreciated. Charts dominated by males & award shows are enough proof that people are sexist, yet they play race card when they loose

    The album is small and I think this is the lowest point that is generating the (few) criticisms. But only the fans understand that it was in their time, they did everything to deliver a job that was perfect in their eyes and those of the fans. pretty savage could be the record of the year.

    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.
