WARNING: Long review!

I listened first the pre release and ExtraL really had me very excited for this album while Love Hangover made me feel like it was going to be not my cup of tea, but... i was WRONG!
- "Intro : JANE with FKJ": great intro, calm. 6/10
- "like JENNIE" was great from the first listen, its just makes you feel like a rock star and so powerful, also, loved the rap in Korean which showed that for a song to be great, doesn't need to be fully in English so... 9/10
- "start a war": loved the instrumental and the small aggressiveness in the "I'm gon' try for you, I'll fight for you, go off for you, I'll start a war", it was great. 7.5/10
- "Handlebars (feat Dua Lipa)": wasn't expecting this collab but it was better than what i expected, very calm and makes you feel that kinda of dissapointment but also hope about being in love. Dua Lipa's voice really added that magical touch and made the whole song feel complete. 8/10
- "with the IE (way up)": as soon as i heard the "incoming" i knew it was going to be a great song. Makes you feel like you're in an amazing party and just wanting to listen to it again and again. 9/10
- "ExtraL (feat Doechii)": as i said this made me feel very excited for this album and i wasn't wrong. Hearing Jennie rapping in a new style was very exciting. Doechii's rap was FUCKING GREAT and her being in this song was a very great election, so all that resulted in me loving this song and being my favorite so yeah 10/10
- "Mantra": very pop, which is not bad, but expected a bit more to make it feel more diverse, because after a few listens it feels repetitive, but the final part saves it a little bit, so, its good. 7/10
- " Love Hangover (feat Dominic Fike)": and here it comes that song... i don't like the tone of voice that Jennie uses and the repetitiveness with the "fight me/ call me back" line, but!, the rest of the song is okayish, so... it's just a song that's not my cup of tea because of what i mentioned before so, it's a 5.5/10
- "ZEN": oh lord! Jennie really amazes me, this song isn't what i expected at all, is just something so new for me and made me feel like i was entering in a new dimension along with all those background sound like the birds and rain(?. Just amazed by Jennie and her team, so yeah, this also gets a 10/10
- "Damn Right (feat Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis)": an okayish song, liked Kali's voice but i don't feel like it brings something new or powerful, so 7/10
- "F.T.S": nothing new or great so 5/10
- "Filter": same as the one before 5/10
- "Seoul City": better than the ones prior 6/10
- "Starlight": didn't liked the "yeah yeah yeah" but is not that bad 6.5/10
- "twin": repetitive and doesn't actually make me feel something 5/10
