CRITIC REVIEWS

Consequence of Sound

As a collection of songs, Kill This Love functions as a crisper, tighter, and even more badass lunge into the same ideas as last year’s album.

Rolling Stone
There will be time for Blackpink to experiment—ideally in a full-length project. Until then, the women are deepening their brand of K-pop for a quickly growing, language-agnostic fanbase eagerly anticipating every fierce new beat drop.

Pitchfork

The production of Kill This Love is ... weirdly dated, like it was crafted earlier in the decade and then forgotten in a time capsule for five years.

NME
The K-pop sensations have a great record in them. This five-track EP might not quite be that record, but it does demonstrate their breadth of creativity.

É bem do básico, nada muito surpreendente, as músicas não são ruins, com excessão desse remix chato de DDU-DU DDU-DU que estragou a música, a faixa título carrega o EP nas costas.

* Kill This Love (8.5/10)
* Don't Know What To Do (7.5/10)
* Kick It (7/10)
* Hope Not (7/10)
* DDU-DU DDU-DU (Remix) (5/10)

Nota Final: 70/100

The title track is an incohesive piece of shit composed of purely trap beats and bass effects. The dddd remix is quite possibly the most unnecessary song by anyone ever, and Hope Not is by far the worst ballad-esq song from a company with outstanding ballad songs.

I enjoyed Kick It and DNWTD despite the overly-repetetive use of the word 'kick' and the dyingcat.mp3 that haunts me to my fucking core.

Eh whatever

This is one of the few kpop albums where you try your hardest to come up with something redeeming about it and it gives you nothing.

Even the most obnoxious kpop album has at-least one earworm-y confectionary, this was more a tadmor prison waterboarding experience

This one really isn't for me. This EP kept all of the generic elements of their first two EPs and removed all of the fun parts.
