    isso é um album ? ta mais para show de horrores, as musicas são as mesmas do antigo albums delas, pretty savage horrivel letra gordofobica, How you like that parece uma bomba atômica, lovesick girls sem comentários pop generico, nota para o album: 0/0

    The Album is so much fun, no skip, no flop. The girls keep showing their strengths, when it comes to singing they really nailed and made an impact to everyone. Each songs have their own story to let people how their moods will be. It gives chill and hype at the same time although the album was short, it is still made a powerful impact to everyone.

    The Album: BlackPinks first foray into making a full body of Music, is in one word "disappointing", however I cannot slander it like many others, writing it off as "pink pop" or simply noise, because it isn't.

What The Album is at its core is Bland. It is presented with all the glitz and glamour of your typical K-pop Album with an added BlackPink flair which is a nice touch for fans. The music however seems soulless bar the final track- 'you never know.' It is all produced to a very high standard and that should be praised, clearly a lot of time and effort went into curating this album into being noticeably ON BRAND. In doing so any signature the singers could give the songs is lost, their is no personality and as a listener you feel that. Additionally some of the songs are simply painful to listen to, How you like that and Ice cream (the unfortunate pre releases) are the main perpetrators, filling a lyrical vacuum with frustrating and repetitive sounds. Yet this repetition and seemingly vacuous beat are one of the Albums strong points...this music gets stuck in your head! I did not like the title track Lovesick girls but boy was I humming the chorus, singing Jisoo's Bridge and doing little bits of choreo constantly. Every single song has this catchy moment that the listener can just grip onto and never forget, for better or for worse. Additionally the vocal performances on the album where its strongest element, Lisa (the rapper) did blow my socks off with her flow, sadly with such poor lyrics as "Mona Lisa kinda Lisa
    Needs an ice cream man that treats her", she cant do much with it. Additionally (and adding to the soullessness) she is unable to contribute or write any of her raps which rather takes away from the Rhythm and Poetry. This is much the same as Jenny who has a little more punch but (in my rather unrefined opinion) a little less technique. Both the singers Jisoo and Rose have incredibly unique vocals and allow the listener to identify them among the noise, Jenny and her singing is less fortunate, often being lost among the sometimes overwhelming numbers of additional sounds added on top of already clustered beats. This Album isn't messy but it is a mess, its so polished and refined and had so much building up to it (four years) that to release such an overproduced and impersonal body of work feels like a huge let down. If it was down to only my opinion I would give The Album a 1 because I struggled to finish it and would never listen again, however I can see the charm. I understand that catchy pop sells and that this type of music can be fun to consume. I just wish it had more heart.    … Expand

    Sounds like regurgitated old music of the company. The album plagiarizes Icona Pop. [link omitted per site rules]

    When it comes to musicality. They sounds like a gong,auto tunes and the beats, songs are the same like their old songs. Nothing's really special. they're always stagnant, have a dark concept.Maybe that's their group image. It's not inspiring and you'll get bored to listen to it.

    The smooth transitions between high and low pitches with mixtures of sexy-rasp vocals by Rosé and Jisoo. To the gritty cadence of confidence by rappers Jennie and Lisa; makes Blackpink’s The Album a fun, emotional and empowering work of music for 2020. Fans and first time listeners of Blackpink will highly enjoy the experience of each track!

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

    In only 8 tracks Th Album took me on an emotional journey. From feeling confident and powerful with HYLT and Pretty Savage, sexy with Crazy Over You and a teary eyed mess with Love to Hate Me and You Never Know. I'm extremely happy with how this album turned out and it's definitely on my top 3 favorite albums.

    I LOVED THE ALBUM!! I am not huge on Kpop but Blackpink and their music is an exception!! Their voices, their beats, their swag in the rap verses , it is a very unexpected surprise that will have you wanting more if you are new to them! My only negative was that there was only 8 tracks. It definitely makes you upset because you want more!!

    Each track felt like it could have a music video and be a title track! Didn’t even feel the need to skip a song at all like I do with some other albums that’s how good it is for me! Definitely worth buying!

    The Album by BLACKPINK is a great body of work. From the hardwork of few of their in house producer such as R.

Ranging from hit maker Ryan Tedder, the EDM O.G David Guetta, and the talented Tommy Brown. Their album filled with 8 tracks, 3 of them being their single which are How You Like That, an EDM anthem that describes their “black” side of music, continued with Ice Cream as the “pink” side, and their latest hit “Lovesick Girls”the song that has their members Jisoo, and Jennie both credited as a writer, and Jennie credited as producer.… Expand

    i've been a blink since the start of this year. i've always viewed their music as very fun and not necessarily trying to be deep or meaningful. there's nothing wrong with that, but with this album, blackpink proved they could be more than a group that makes fun music and can explore a range of topics.

    the defining song of this album is definitely "lovesick girls". it's an anthemic song    i've been a blink since the start of this year. i've always viewed their music as very fun and not necessarily trying to be deep or meaningful. there's nothing wrong with that, but with this album, blackpink proved they could be more than a group that makes fun music and can explore a range of topics.

    the defining song of this album is definitely "lovesick girls". it's an anthemic song that explores why people continue to seek love and validation after being hurt time and time again. it's a song that doesn't song like it's trying to be a hit, which is a much different direction for the group and shows that, while they can make songs that are pure fun, they can also explore interesting and deep topics.

    i love everything about this album and the girls' vocals really shined, especially on "you never know", another heartfelt song that discussed the rampant harassment of idols.

    i didn't expect to like "bet you wanna" because i'm not the biggest fan of cardi, but it's so chill and almost ethereal that her feature doesn't even bother me.

    i don't have much to say about the other songs, but don't get me wrong, i love them as well. "how you like that" is one of my favorite releases of the year. i'm very impressed by the cohesiveness, an element that was somewhat absent from their past releases, of the album as a whole.

    i really only have 2 complaints about it. i think some of the choruses were a bit underwhelming and pretty savage needed some improvement. but besides that, this might be my favorite album of the year.    … Expand

    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.
