A doofus that thinks XG sounds like NewJeans, an army and a dork that clearly hates Blackpink
Funny times
HEY!! 
Don't go by stereotypes! I may be an ARMY and not a full-fledged Blink, but I actually LOOOVE BLACKPINK and their group music and previous solos they had under YG and own all of their albums except for Born Pink, and I was SO EXCITED for their new solo albums and SO READY to buy all of them, too!!
I was even going to give the last 3 spaces I have left in my Kpop collection to their remaining solo albums (I already have Rosé's), but aside from Rosie, which gave me an even greater respect for Rosé as both a pop star and as an artist because it showed off her previously mostly-unknown songwriting ability and unique and strong artistic vision for her solo album in Kpop, none of them impressed me! They all really let me down! They all really let down my twin sister too besides Rosie, who is also an ARMY/basically Blink too and was so excited for them as well!!
I thought Lisa was going to have the most amazing solo of all, but wut happened?! Her album had no vision and many empty, weak, or noisy AF songs with no lyrical substance whatsoever. Rockstar eventuality grew on me a lot but originally sounded like straight up noise music (tho I LOVED the MV), Moonlit Floor was also a poor choice because it was simply a remake of a song that highlighted the original singer's vocals, but she is an amazing rapper especially for Kpop, but admittedly vocals were never her specialty! I liked the overall message of her title track, but FUTW was largely just a bunch of annoying chants after the annoying "I think I just I just might" part
Jennie's album was overall pretty good/not bad and did show off her versatility but her choice of title track, Like Jennie, was even admitted by other users on this forum to sound more like an intro song than a title track and was arguably be the weakest song off the album! The MV didn't look very high budget either and Jennie could've been mistaken for a backup dancer in her own music video who just happened to be the only female one out of a crowd of males, who they for whatever reason decided to put in the middle, she lacked that much unique stage presence in the video, tho hers is normally great live, and her outfit was almost identical to her backup dancers' too! ZEN's music video was a high quality cinematic triumph and gave me a lot of East Asian pride, but the song severely lacked a proper structural memorable melody, and overall sounded extremely empty as well (although just to prove that I am indeed a BP fan and not just a stereotypical hater ARMY, I did enjoy the powerful drum beats and some of the lyrics/powerful-sounding rapping).
I mean I could go on and on about all the individual songs off Lisa's album and Jisoo's album too (decent-to-good title track but relatively weak empty-sounding tho had a fun beat, b-sides were a bunch of unmemorable snoozefests tho which really disappointed me because I thought they would all be a bunch of more upbeat dance tracks similar to earthquake, which really did grow on me after a couple of listens, but all sounded sonically similar and I can't even distinguish any of them from each other in my memory), but this post is already way too TL;DR
I just wanted to say, as a previous huge fan of BLACKPINK and their previous releases under YG, I was severely underwhelmed and let down by their solo efforts and will probably mostly continue near-stanning them out of habit rather than any genuine excitement about their most recent or future activities under their solo labels, which I guess makes sense since this is their first time and they're all completely inexperienced in running their own companies, and probably using different producers (at least non-in house YG producers most notably Teddy).
I'm fully pinning my last hopes for BP on their future group comeback under YG later this year before I probably just go on to mostly support Rosé's future music activities and just check out the other members releases as a casual sporadic hopeful thing that they may by some small chance improve drastically.
But I'm clearly not the only one who has lost a lot of interest in at least BP's solo activities, if not quite their group ones yet, if you compare their current YT views of their latest solo MVs to their old ones or even their album sales. (I don't have Spotify so I haven't been able to keep up w/their streams there since I also quit using X/formerly known as Twitter since Musk's support of Trump, Nazism, and current disastrous management of the American government has been unveiled, but I recognize that would be considered the stronger argument as a digital metric of their past to current success).
I would really LOOOVE and strongly hope more than anything for BP to change my mind later with their future solo endeavors, but until then, NO, I HAVEN'T BEEN IMPRESSED BY THEIR SOLOS WHEN I KNOW BY MY PREVIOUS FANDOM OF THEM THAT THEY'RE CAPABLE OF DOING SO MUCH BIGGER AND GREATER!
Previously-longtime-almost BLINK and YES, ARMY, because WE CAN SUPPORT BOTH OF KPOP'S 2 BIGGEST GROUPS AT THE SAME TIME HERE OUT!
