"Pretty Savage" is an instant for me. I was a bit worried about it at first since it kinda falls in the dated 00s Timbaland production territory but the whole song is a bop!

"Love To Hate Me" kinda sounds like a Sweetener/thank u, next outtake as well - and it's all in English. I'm liking it!

So after my first listen, my top three are: Lovesick Girls (lovechild of Die Young by Kesha and Young Blood by Naked and Afraid), Love to Hate Me (love child of thank you, next and 7 rings), and Ice Cream (summer bop that should have been). Wish Cardi was on Crazy Over You instead. Overall solid album!

Ayt, I've just gotten through my first listen with the album, and as someone who is a big fan of BLACKPINK, of course the album is not perfect.
I imagine if you aren't on board with BP, this album will be incredibly obnoxious and I wouldn't disagree. From the synths to the rapping to the lyrics, if you're down with their braggadocio, this would be a chore to get through...but while this album may be more annoying than the recent albums from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, etc., it's also much better than those albums because BLACKPINK sound like they're actually having fun making this type of music.
I know this may be showing bias too much but to me, this album isn't that bad and while I'm not going to be heralding this as one of the best pop albums of the year, I had fun at least. I say if you're going to make over-the-top, stupid, and bombastic music, it's best you at least have fun doing so. Even the worst song, Ice Cream, they're going all out, they're not half-assing anything no matter how dumb it. Again, if you're annoyed and think this is unlistenable, I completely understand that. But as someone who didn't grow up liking this kind of music and is only now appreciating music like Krewella and Skrillex that just got full force fun all at once, you have to smile every once and a while.

Decided to actually spend money on this, even though a) the $7.99 price tag on iTunes was tempting and b)Target had all versions BUT the one I wanted (#3) but whatever. I opted for the simple black background with pink font. Excited to listen/read/fangirl.

Lovesick Girls is my only real major takeaway Crazy Over You almost got there but the production buildup led to nothin and I was so disappointed Love To Hate Me also lost me at the chorus a bit
Rest of the tracks did nothing for me at all, pretty disappointed since I liked Ddu, Kill This Love, and As If It's Your Last a lot

Cardi should have been on How You Like That, would have been a banger for sure!

I'm not a huge fan of BLACKPINK and I just recently started to listen to them this era but I actually really like the album more than the their older songs. The songs are not surprising or has a big impact, but they fit nicely with my pop playlist so I am good with it.

Wow. This is EXCELLENT. I am also glad I bought the package. So much was put into it. It's like some insane collector's edition. Worth the money for how much was put into it. Plus, the music is good. I wish there were more songs but at least there was no filler. A- 1. Love To Hate Me (W.O.W.) 2. How You Like That 3. Ice Cream 4. Crazy Over You 5. Lovesick Girls 6. You Never Know (the vocal showcase, clearly. I get why they put it at the end.) 7. Bet You Wanna (I hate putting a Card feature so low, but...here we are) 8. Pretty Savage

I find it hard to believe the album wouldn't be ranked in the Apple Music top 1,500 (per Kworb). Perhaps a glitch?

It looks like Ice Cream is slowing down on radio. They need to release a new single ASAP while the album hype is still their.

ok but why is this album doing so well impressive Blackpink is the revolution. Hopefully we won't have to wait four more years for another full album. Oh, who are we kidding. We will have to wait just as long.

Any guesses on what the next single will be after Ice Cream? Bet You Wanna? Lovesick Girls? Pretty Savage? Love To Hate Me?
