First listen. Spotify Enhanced.
The "Enhanced" album is a simple but nice touch: the album is capped by a video intro and outro. However, the intro includes the following snippet: "in the video above, you can check out some of films we made with Spotify." Not sure what that specifically refers to.

2: "Ice Cream" (with Selena Gomez);
1: "How You Like That"; "Lovesick Girls"; "Crazy Over You";
0: "Pretty Savage"; "Bet You Wanna" (ft. Cardi B); "Love To Hate Me"; "You Never Know";

Summary:
I haven't listened to an entire album in a while and The Album was a decent first album experience. In particular, the album was short and I was already familiar with the first two singles which preceded the album, "How You Like That" and "Ice Cream."

Overall Rating: 4.0/5
Favorite Song: "Ice Cream"

Notes:
--20201017--
I recently watched the music video for "Lovesick Girls" and the English subtitles helped add a layer of depth to the song. I would move my rating from a "1" to a "2."
Second listen.
Maybe "How You Like That" would be a "2" instead of a "1."
"Bet You Wanna" to be a "1" instead of a "0."
I would then bump the overall rating from a 4.0 to a 4.4.

#2 on the Billboard 200 (Week of 20201017).
