    Cabe mencionar que no me gusta mucho el K-Pop, y menos sacando un EP, mejor la hubieran guardado para su nuevo álbum. Pero les pondré 5, sigan así BlackPink

    Don’t know what to do es la única canción que realmente supera las expectativas

    BLACKPINK's new EP lacks the spark the group has. The main song seems a rushed trying to cope with the success of Ddu Du Ddu Du, the trumpets are too much and sometimes the beat lacks consistency. The remix of DDDD is pointless they could have released a new song. Kick it is a nice Kpop song with lots of English and has a catchy chorus that could break in the American Industry.

Don't Know What To Do is a great song with the sweet voices of the group, I would have expected less Jennie opening the songs because the other girls deserve this chance for a fresher BLACKPINK sound, I regret buying the album when you could just stream.

    The production of the album is good but the concept is getting old and It’s started to look lazy. You could call this square one pt.2

    A maioria das tracks foram recicladas e não há nada de diferente, totalmente previsível. A melhor música do álbum é Hope Not mas mesmo assim é esquecível e ainda precisou ser tocada alguma vezes no repeat para eu gostar.

    Forgettable and generic. When you expect the songs to grow and explode they stay the same, monotonous.

    the same song all over again. they wait one year to come up with a recycled version of ddu-du (and a remix of the said song) and a couple of boring non memorable songs. forgettable and generic. for all that talk of them being a revolution i'd expect more versatility. overwhelmingly lackluster and the lyrics are absolutely horrible. they have potential, i wanna see them live up to it

    The songs are good but I can't find something that makes me want to listen to them again and why put remixes. The songs lack a spark, they are very monotonous.

    very underwhelming "music". disbanding 2ne1 for this fraud "music" group was a terrible business decision on yg's part. blankpink members are better off as instagram models and social media influenzas!

    Bored, they recycle moment after moment. His company only seeks to make money from his fans. Just by listening to this you can know this is one of the most generic music in kpop, trashy lyrics, same edm concept, not involving in their music production, all no.

    Teddy, YG's head producer and writer tried to replicate D4 but couldn't do ti with KTL. The rest of the songs sound outdated and rushed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The music is a recycle bin. Most of the instrumentals are exact same from there previous mini album. Even the synchronizing of the vocalists is just horrible. When putting it on pause, it’s the best part of the mini album. The way its presence hunts your playlist no one should dare to do that themselves. The only thing good about the songs is the endings. You’ve reached the state of no return after wasting your full 35 minutes to go through the songs. In comparison to Loona the girl group, this is too much of a reach into the western music market. It’s a no from here. Expand

    Siendo completamente sincera, no entiendo que trataron de hacer, su álbum anterior estaba mucho mejor, en este parece que intentaron seguir con el EDM pero no les salio y lo dejaron como música para tocar en las fiestas de niños en hora loca, no le encuentro sentido ni al ritmo ni a la letra, para mi su mayor error fue intentar replicar su anterior single y no intentar nada nuevo, todasSiendo completamente sincera, no entiendo que trataron de hacer, su álbum anterior estaba mucho mejor, en este parece que intentaron seguir con el EDM pero no les salio y lo dejaron como música para tocar en las fiestas de niños en hora loca, no le encuentro sentido ni al ritmo ni a la letra, para mi su mayor error fue intentar replicar su anterior single y no intentar nada nuevo, todas las canciones suenan igual, espero para la próxima vengan con algo nuevo, no solo un intento de EDM.

    Two words: BORING and OVERHYPED
    Blackpink is one of those groups that really only has their company's marketing to back them up. All members are extremely mediocre, their music is tasteless and lyrics are lazy, they do not even try to form any special connection with their fans, just starve them of music so they'll eat up whatever trash they put out once in a blue moon

    It was a feeble effort to make a album and yet it wasn't even a full one. Dated songs that aged horribly. Something needs to change with their producer, because most of these songs are so repetitive and boring.

    Espero que da próxima vez antes de sumirem dos palcos para tirar foto, essas idols deixem muito material de qualidade para os fãs pararem de perseguir outros grupos, pois pelo visto, o fandom está necessitado de material e fica caçando outros idols.

    el ruido de la trompetas de KTL es irritante. kick it es una canción que carece de composición siendo muy sosa. Hope Not es decente, pero al estar un album tan malo no destaca, al contrario, solo se hunde con el resto porque las fans de estas chicas solo quieren musica sin sentido que grite "girls power" pero que todo detrás de las cámaras sea hecho por un tío obeso racista.

    With hits this tailored and successfully executed, the group’s roof-shattering popularity comes as no surprise in the least.

    Kill This Love ... showcases a band who are certainly talented but perhaps not quite ready for the next upward arc in the ride they’re currently on.

    Though BLACKPINK can sing and dance with precision, the production of Kill This Love is also weirdly dated, like it was crafted earlier in the decade and then forgotten in a time capsule for five years.
