LISA, who is part of the record-setting K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, needs to convince you that she has depth without her bandmates. Alter Ego proves she doesn't.

The problem is that LISA's role in BLACKPINK is to offer moments of snotty charm—her range may be limited, but it has a purpose. When she's tasked with carrying a track, the songs are tedious

 

Score: 5.2

they were too nice 

I mean did they lie? The album is a mess and the songs seen so disjointed.

The worst album I have ever heard

Notice how it's not a Rita Ora album...

the album sucks. rockstar was immaculate and then she served absolutely nothing 

The Katy Perry of Kpop

She has no identity. Where is the vision?

Quote

her various musical identities add up to the generic embodiment of a pop star

omg and the review didn't even start

the reviews reads like a 2

If it's one thing critics tend to hate consistently as time passes and critical preferences have their ups and downs, it's bad music with no personality.

 

That's basically not even trying. If it's bad AND generic that's crazy.

Alter Ego is fine, decent first project. Sure its not revolutionary or exceptionally good but y'all act like its an abomination or something 

The album sounds like they went shopping for demos for potential pop hits and put them together as an album with no curation whatsoever so Pitchfork did not lie one bit

deserves less  

not them praising Moonshit Flop tho

Trashing New Woman and praising Moonlit Floor? 

Eh, Pitchfork sucks but I kind of agree. It's still better than 143.

Remember them not even reviewing your favs and then giving them 8s as the time went by.

Nobody takes them seriously anymore.

And I'm not saying this because the album is great but because I just know that if Lisa becomes big they will retrospectively give this a good review. A joke they just want clicks

One line on "Fxck Up the World" manages to summarize the whole experience: "They want the old LISA, then listen to my old ****." It's hard to imagine who wouldn't.

 

I still don't know why they decided to write this line as if it's not the biggest set-up ever

the album is terrible, 5.2 is too high

Witnessing the fall of Lisa puts a smile on my face

wtf... lisa IS big. korea's equivalent of pitchfork has yet to review the album but considering how they gave rosie a 2,5... i feel like pitchfork is wayyyyy too kind with the blackpink girls

5.2 is pretty high for a review that scathing

 

Justice for Elastigirl though!!!
