    Um álbum muito neutro, as melodias são bonitinhas, nada muito criativo exceto por "how you like that", não me desagradou, de forma alguma, mas é raso

    it's a FULL Album by South Korean standards.
    The Album has no fillers, each track can be a hit on its own.
    The vocals from all 4 members are the highlight.
    I just like a couple more tracks

    If you are trying to be edgy like some of these mainstream "no talent" critics this Album is not for you, the Bars will cut you to shreds.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So... Blackpink made a full album. I mean, it is only 8 tracks, 2 of them are pre-releases and the album has a run time of 24 minutes, so, can we even call it a full album? Don't get me wrong, the tracks are good, but this album was long overdue and it doesn't feel complete? Like, it could have another two songs and the ending wouldn't be so abrupt? You Never Know ends in such an unsatisfying tone and I'm so mad at it. I like the tracks alone, but they don't fit together to make an album. The lyrics are nothing to write home about, but I didn't expect much when YG DOESN'T LET THE GIRLS WRITE!!!!! So, in conclusion, this felt rushed even when YG had 4 years to do it, but the fans will stream the sh*t out of it, buy a few physical copies, and the terrible management will continue.… Expand

    This album is the perfect debut album. It showcases their versatility as singers as their voices fit perfectly with every single genre used and it also shows how well they work together as their voices blend with each other in a blissful harmony.

The album is a perfect mix of singing and rapping. In many kpop girl groups, the rapper position is unnecessary but that clearly isn't the case with blackpink as both of their rappers have showcased their talent and technique. Apart from that, I really enjoyed how each song is vividly unique. Every song has its own color. I enjoyed all of the songs and I'm even finding it difficult to pick a favorite. I highly recommend this album even to non kpop listeners, I'm sure they will enjoy it. The only disappointment was the number of songs, but hopefully YG Entertainment will release a deluxe album with three or four new songs later.… Expand

    The Album is so sonically cohesive and truly captivates the meaning of Blackpink. It gives you attitude but with class. They definitely are now at par with the main pop girls. This is isn’t even KPop anymore. Lisa’s raps definitely gave this album more flavor adding it with the soulful vocals of Jisoo and the power of Rosé vocal color, Jennie did well as well.

    "The album" does not try to be innovative or bring a great artistic content, Blackpink bet on its already known formula in the structure of the songs and the sound very generic and close to American pop, a probable attempt to introduce itself in the western market, something reinforced in the lyrics of songs that have more english than conventional k-pop.

Thats not all, the 4 Queens of Blackpink collab with powerful women, Selena Gomez (Icecream) and Cardi B (Bet You Wanna) to deliver fun flirty and catchy tracks that will have you singing along all day.  There's even a track for the haters titled  "Love to Hate Me" If any of this sparks your interest, go ahead and give The Album a listen. Please disregard all those negative reviews that are only there as an insult to Blackpink. The girls said it best there are people out there that "Love to Hate" them and will gladly go out of their way and waste their time to try sabotage them by leaving a review for an Album they probably didnt even listen to. That being said, If you want to support 4 Beautiful and Talented women that face harrassment, slut shaming, and an enormous amount of online bullying on the daily for simply breathing and being successful women, Buy and stream The Album and title track Lovesick Girls!… Expand

    As a BLINK i can tell we been waiting for this full album since 2016, it feels unrealistic that THE ALBUM is finally here! it took 4 long years but the waiting was worthy.
    BLACKPINK knows how to give BLINKS high quality music.

    All tracks feels like they could be title track. Blackpink really put their emotions here and you can sense a nostalgic feeling while listening to "Lovesick Girls" and "You Never Know" or feel confident while listening to "Pretty Savage"
    Overall an amazing album.

    This album showcases a range of amazing vocals, raps, beats, and melody. Storyline-wise, it’s very coherent, portraying every facet of what makes BLACKPINK “BLACKPINK”. Highly recommend this album.

    the best album that i heard becuase any song disappoints you - you have songs to dance, sing and even to cry - the lyrics are very significant so 10 /10 the only bad thing is that they are few songs and leave you wanting for more

    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.
