    It's always the same "in your face" attitude from their past releases. The album is generally dull and the lack of creativity in the b sides makes it less worthy to be a long anticipated album

    This is by far the best pop album released in recent years. In an age where hip-hop, r&b, and disco tracks are the trend right now, releasing an album like this is risk-taking yet refreshing. I applaud blackpink for bringing back pop nostalgia without it sounding outdated. I look forward to their next project which I believe will be better than this one. They always seem to outdo themselves.

    O "The Album" solidifica o BlackPink como um dos maiores atos pop do momento. Porém, em alguns momentos, falta originalidade e versatilidade dentro das melodias e letras, o que não impede o projeto de ser sólido.

    I was very excited to see Blackpink release their first album after 4 years, but as much as I enjoyed songs such as Lovesick Girls, Pretty Savage, and You Never know, a lot of the instrumentation felt empty and unfinished.

Many songs such as the title track "How you Like That" and even "Pretty Savage" were very similar to their old work and didn't offer too much experimentation, following the same song mold as some of their biggest hits like D4 and Kill This Love. One song I was surprised by was You Never Know. The stripped back ballad pop song felt very personal and heartfelt, which is something I hope Blackpink continue to expand on in the future as they grow as artists. For a first album, this project was ok, but there is still a lot of room the for the girls to grow and mature in their music style. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BLACKPINK just keeps outdoing themselves with each release, always bringing something new to the table. As a musician, I love noticing every aspect of a song. I hope my thoughts help you appreciate the songs more or at least make you be more self-aware of all the elements.

    1. How You Like That: I admit that when I first heard the single, I hadn't liked it because I was still new to Korean music and I'm normally put off by trap elements, but after a few more listens, the song grew on me. It's really interesting melody-wise and the off-key "that" part in the chorus is so smart. As a vocalist, I love little things like that. Lisa's rap is definitely a scene-stealer, the instrument in the background has such a unique sound and I would've never imagined it on a rap part. Even though I can't speak Korean, I can't stop singing this song.

    2. Ice Cream: This song was really hard to get into for me. It has silly but fun lyrics and it's raw bubblegum pop, I had only liked Lisa's rap when I first heard it. I came around to appreciate the other rap parts in between the verses and the high notes during the pre-chorus. Selena's voice fits perfectly with BLACKPINK though, it was cool to hear someone from my childhood sing with a group I currently admire. Even though it's my least favorite in the album, it's really fun to sing along to because of its silliness.

    3. Pretty Savage: The title says it all. BLACKPINK didn't come to play around. You could say this is close to a diss track, but it's a really good one. While this song is really hip-hop/trap, it has pop-y elements that actually work pretty well. I'm not too fond of parts like the "oh-oh-oh-oh" because it's been overused, but I think it helps to build up to the badass chorus and give listeners a break from the amount of spicy lyrics. Also, Jisoo finally said "BLACKPINK in your area"!

    4. Bet You Wanna: This bubblegum pop/rap song has a lot of interesting factors. Rosé's voice stands out the most for me, she pulls off some amazing Ariana Grande-like melodies and harmonies, especially by the end. It's a really catchy song, I love the chorus and bridge. I really wanted to hear Jennie and Lisa rap with Cardi though.

    5. Lovesick Girls: I will say I thought I'd hate the song because of the teasers, but I was wrong. The song kicks off with an amazing beat and guitar that generate such a great mood already. I'm personally in love with Lisa's and Jennie's rap, the lyrics are perfect and the electronic notes playing in the background bring me back to the good ol' mainstream pop days. While the chorus IS as pop-y as I had expected, it doesn't bother me because the lyrics are good and it surprisingly fits the song really well. Shout out to the Rosé rap-like bridge, and congrats to Jennie and Jisoo for finally getting writing credits!

    Side story: A friend asked me what the song was about because he got confused over "We were born to be alone, but why we still looking for love?" So I analyzed it for a few seconds and I realized it could be interpreted as searching for self-love as well, which I think is very clever.

    6. Crazy Over You: Jennie starts off strongly on this one. I can't get "I've been known to kiss and tell, send girls to wishing wells" out of my head, haha. It's such a badass verse. Can we talk about the flute (or whatever instrument that is)? It's really impressive how well it goes with the electronic elements. Overall, it's a really sexy song and I dig it so much, I wanna dance along to it!

    7. Love To Hate Me: This is my favorite of the album. It was really hard to come to this conclusion because all the songs are good, but damn, this one, the vocals and melodies are from another world. The verses have such a nice flow going on with its fun lyrics and soft vocals, I'm obsessed. They're followed by powerful high notes and then sassy rap breaks to finish it off with a cool chorus. When Lisa's rap comes off later, it just takes your breath away. Like, how did this song get even better?

    8. You Never Know: Jisoo starts off this song so beautifully with sweet piano chords playing beside her. Then we get to hear Lisa's soft voice right after, I honestly love hearing her sing since she mostly gets rap verses. This song feels emotional from the start, it feels personal, whether or not you know BLACKPINK's story and what they go through every day. Usually, ballads tend to be last on my rankings because I simply would rather jam to something fun, but this is one of my favorites from the album. Side note: I love how Lisa starts off the second verse, such a cool melody.

    If I had to rank the tracks, it would be something like this. I judge songs based on lyrics, instrumental and vocal melodies, and the level of freshness, I don't like listening to things I've heard before.

    Loved it except the fact that Jennie barely had a rap part. That made me reconsider if i liked it or not. Also Ice cream was the worst song in their discography. But i have to admit Love to hate me and Crazy over you was amazing. Bet you wanna was one of the best collabs they made. Line distribution was nearly fair. Hope Jennie gets more rap and Jisoo gets fair lines next time.

I will never stop praising the quality that this album carries. I was shocked at how good they sounded, because this is indeed their first full album. Even a song like You Never Know has the “it” factor and the representative colors of BLACKPINK. My only complain is that it was too short, but I’m sure 100000 people have said that before. I’ll definitely be checking their next album, this is god-tier material. These girls are one of a kind and so talented!

    The Album by BLACKPINK is one of the best Albums of 2020 so far, it has no skips at all. The songs can also have each Music Video because of it's Quality. I love the girls' exquisite voices specially Lisa's rap parts each song. Blackpink deserves more recognition and I'm hoping for them to snatch a grammys nomination next year. By the way, track 'You Never Know' is my favorite song from THE ALBUM.

    Lyrics makes no sense. I think, they justwanted to make Blackpink a phenomenon but they should improve in writing songs in this album.

    Blackpink I am so proud of you. After all these years of proving your legacy in every way possible, and moving a generation of both people and women to become just like you, you have obtained this album which you are so long overdue for.

    All the songs are very good, the versatility you can find from "Pretty Savage" to "You never know" is incredible. Blackpink have totally caught my interest.

    This album was not that good to me. The title track, Lovesick Girls was not bad, however it didn’t fit in with the album at all. For most albums, the songs kind of go together, but it is totally different and only goes with Ice Cream, which was not a good song at all. The bsides sounded very rushed and you could tell they were fillers. I also feel like the album definitely could’ve hadThis album was not that good to me.

I also feel like the album definitely could’ve had more songs since they don’t release a lot of music and this was their first full album. I feel like YGE definitely does not put they’re all into these girls, there’s no reason they debuted in 2016 and just now is having their first full album, which only had 8 songs on it. I hope they will come out with better songs in the future (and get treated better.) Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is their very first album! I didn’t expect them to change their concept, since this is their beginning, they’re showing their signature and BRAND on their very first full album... and I think that means alot. My favourite tracks are lovesick girls, pretty savage and you never know! I didn’t like ice cream at first, but I sure am humming and singing words to it every single day without realizing it...

    It's interesting how every song sounds completely different and truly feels like an unique song. There's no secondary tracks, there's no songs that just fill the album to be a long project. Every track sounds as if it was worked to be a tittle track and that's something I love about blackpink, they always release the best of the best. I love this album

    To have waited so long for Blackpink to release an album and the sings were okay at best? The few standouts I really enjoyed were Pretty Savage (although I wasn't so fond of the lyrics the beat was nice) and Lovesick Girls because the melodies & bridges in those songs were good but the rest fell flat for me.

I wouldn't call this album bad just.... underwhelming. While these girls have a lot of hype, the music just doesn't stack up for me. Ice Cream was definitely not it, way to much Selena Gomez. The Cardi collab was very cookie cutter. And above all I feel like the album lacked identity. As a whole piece, it was weak for a debut album 4 years in the making. Expand

    as much as I am disappointed that the album has only eight tracks, I need to say that every single track is really good. the album has no skips. also I really like the song with featured cardi b and Selena Gomez. I saw a lot of people with mixed feelings about the features but in my opinion all of the girls were perfect, I ain't complaining. my favorite song of the album is crazy over you,as much as I am disappointed that the album has only eight tracks, I need to say that every single track is really good. the album has no skips. also I really like the song with featured cardi b and Selena Gomez.

    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.
