    I feel like this album is much stronger than the previous one. This album just show their versatility and their voices just make the listereners repeat the songs again and again. To be honest, this is no skip album. My grandma even likes it.

    Es uno de los mejores álbumes de kpop que he escuchado en los últimos meses. Tiene la esencia de BLACKPINK así como prueban otros sonidos diferentes, saliendo - creo yo - de su zona de confort. En lo personal, es el mejor álbum de BLACKPINK.

    half of the album is really good but the other are just boring ballads and they don't really shine on those, the other four songs are good tho!

    The 1st part of the album is good but the other half is bad, There are too many familiar ideas and bad musical concepts It was a little worse then last album

    At this point you can't have expectations from them.
    All songs are recycled and all the "new" ones are heavily sampled to the point that they can't even be called original. Just like before this album also doesn't reflect any of the member

    Waited 2 years, what a disappointment. Their music has been going downhill everything time they release something new. This album is worst than the one before. The lyrics are cringe and the instrumental can be better.

    No me gustó esperaba algo mejor. Las canciones están horribles no tienen sentido las letras y lo único por lo que se salvan las canciones son por el ritmo.

    Best album i ever heard in my life, made me dance and cry a lot, they are the best kpop group and theres no doubt. Thanks BLACKPINK for saving music, this album is a masterpiece and there are no skips. I love every single track, Lisa’s vocals are heaven, that girl knows what she’s capable of, shes fire. Jisoo is the prettiest woman alive, and her dance and vocals are no joke

    To my opinion its their best work, we heard their signature style, on pink venom and shut down, awesome sample of paganini, very well fited, but after that they venture them selfs, "yea yeah yeah" takes us to the upbeat 80s with a topic we all strugle, to know if our feelings towards someone are correspended, then we move on to "hard to to love" becoming a solo for Rosé, where I can hearTo my opinion its their best work, we heard their signature style, on pink venom and shut down, awesome sample of paganini, very well fited, but after that they venture them selfs, "yea yeah yeah" takes us to the upbeat 80s with a topic we all strugle, to know if our feelings towards someone are correspended, then we move on to "hard to to love" becoming a solo for Rosé, where I can hear a mix between Taylor and avril, Rosé's voice its always a treat, "typa girl" had am incredible flow, with a hard base, with great cadebce, lets be honest, we all want to be a typa girl, next comes "Tally" although the beat is slow and pop, the topic is one of the most talked amor everyone, and its very eveident in the present day, we just want ppl to stop judging us for what we do and who we do it with. And last "Ready for love", this is a party song, the beat was made to dance to and just let go, and its about to be ready to plunge into falling inlove and wishing for your partner to plunge with you. All in all, for me its great album, the only complain I have is that is just too short, it feels a bit incomplete… Expand

    Big improvement from previous album. My favorite song is yeayeahyeah and hard to love. I like that they didn't rely on beat drops on this album except for yyy, but it was not the usual bp beatdrop. It was more free.

    They didn't evolve at all. It's supposedly the most awaited kpop album of the year, after 2 years of hiatus, but it just sounds bland and more of the same to me. The lyrics are super cringe and they keep repeating the same formula and themes from all their releases. The main tracks as always full of repetitive catchphrases, "ratatas", empty lyrics that brag about their life and fame andThey didn't evolve at all.

The main tracks as always full of repetitive catchphrases, "ratatas", empty lyrics that brag about their life and fame and how they're better than everyone droping brand names all the time. It doesn't speak to me and it's honestly tiring to keep hearing it from them all the time, feels like that's all the group is about. It also bothers me how the two main tracks are essentially the same in this aspect. Typa Girl and Tally also have cringe and imature lyrics in my opinion, but although I like the vocals for Typa Girl, I just can't listen to these songs. Yeah 3x and Hard to Love were the ones that stood out the most to me. Overall it's an album that feels almost roughly done or rushed, it doesn't have sentiment and sincerity and just repeats their formula milking their so called "identity".… Expand

    Born Pink of BLACKPINK - "All in all, "Born Pink" is a perfect album for getting up and going out, joining Beyoncé's "Renaissance" in a pantheon of music that feels designed for celebrating yourself — whether you're single or looking for love or falling into or out of it — and tuning out anyone who wants to bring you down, especially if your greatest naysayers are the doubts in your head."Born Pink of BLACKPINK - "All in all, "Born Pink" is a perfect album for getting up and going out, joining Beyoncé's "Renaissance" in a pantheon of music that feels designed for celebrating yourself — whether you're single or looking for love or falling into or out of it — and tuning out anyone who wants to bring you down, especially if your greatest naysayers are the doubts in your head." from the Popsugar… Expand

    The execution itself often falls frustratingly flat, lacking originality and a clear-cut focus. With its limited scope of musical conceptions, Born Pink, therefore, sounds strangely restricted, as if detained in a confined space wherein it longs to escape.

    On ‘Born Pink’, BLACKPINK tread familiar thematic territory for pop music, but the imagery – finding solace from heartbreak at the bottom of a bottle (‘The Happiest Girl’), boasting about being the type of girl you take to your “mama house” (‘Typa Girl’) – isn’t particularly novel, though they have effectively applied a personal touch in the past (see Jennie’s ‘Solo’).

    “Born Pink” is occasionally galvanic, and occasionally iterative. When the group does push into new territory — or more accurately, unshackles itself from familiar ground — it doesn’t leave much of an impact.
