Jackson Wang - GBAD
70

Jackson did a lot of imitation of Kendrick Duckworth in his <DAMN> , the accent and pronounciation , with the soulful production from Dem Jointz , heavy drums and heavy bass . the several collaborative albums Dem Jointz finished with K.A.A.N contained some similar beats to this song . After all Jackson really raising the bar for his upcoming project . And I hope this one could be the just 'OKAY' one interlude-like song in this album

SPELLLING - Portrait of My Heart
70

comparing to her famous <The Turning Wheel> , had a lot of improvment in instrumental , but the songwriting in this album is a torturing boredom

TEN - STUNNER
70

‘BAMBOLA’ is obviously one of those influenced by the Skrillex&Fred Again&Flowdan paradigm HEAR-THE-RUMBLE 'Rumble' . I have heard many these two three years , but it still was the most impressive one to me in this project

Benefits - Constant Noise
50

talking is cheap ... pay more efforts to arrangement please

KiiiKiii - UNCUT GEM
65

same production crew , might be offensive but this is better-version-IVE (and we only talk about music here , there is nothing faulty about any of the girls)

Selena Gomez - I Said I Love You First
55

even the loudness between songs was not properly balanced .

刘柏辛 [Lexie Liu] - POP GIRL
65

weak drum pattern . Lexie should probably do some reference of Yaeji's latest releases , if she had some trouble about where she was going

Matt Maltese - Bad Contestant
80

'As the World Caves In' is one of the deepest engraved voice-memo in my head

NMIXX - Fe3O4: FORWARD
75

the title 'KNOW ABOUT ME' has the heaviest usage of wobble bass in a song I have ever heard , and most songs in this EP project have a RAGE-like listening : the sound-design is a little bit overwhelming , but the structure of the song is highly repetitive , which lead to a even much-more-tiring listening . The next step for NMIXX , to my point of view , is to make their songs more progressive and development-ive . For I can bearly finish one song , but I can re-listen to a song's ... read more

LE SSERAFIM - HOT
60

the INTROs and TEASERs of LE SSERAFIM are always among the most avant-garde in K-Idol Industry , but they never dare to keep those in their performanc-ial songs ... We will see how long the production crew can keep this going .
TRACK. 5 was almost it ...

Doechii - Anxiety
60

creative transcription , just not fulfulling till the end

JENNIE - Ruby
65

don't you hang out with those big-name producers , that's what coming at you ...

this could absolutely have been an above average project , as those banging pre-releases , and the musicians collaborated . But the whole outcoming is obviously dragging the good parts down , so overall it still cannot be considered good enough

NMIXX - High Horse
75

the production crew for NMIXX has obviously learnt from their last failure 'Run For Roses' . That song was also driven by instrumental melodic lines , with some diminished-trait notes and chords . But the problem was that the arrangement for 'Roses' was too simple , simple enough to be boring . This time the producers redeemed themselves well , adding some drum breaks fill the flavor . There is still room to improve , show me the whole album then

方大同 [Khalil Fong] - 回到未來
60

worst ... most songs in this album are almost simple enough to be amateurish , yet the melodies not catchy . 'BB88' is the only average production of Khalil Fong-can-make song of the album

方大同 [Khalil Fong] - 未来 (Wonderland)
80

The earliest memory of millennium mandarin R&B to both Chinese and non-Chinese speaker , the most HIT album of Khalil Fong , almost every single song in this album are frequently covered nowadays , a paradigm of Mandarin R&B . And it was released in 2007 , the same decade after D'Angelo <Voodoo>(2000) , <The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill>(1998) , Erykah Badu <New Amerykah Series>(2008-2009) , Babyface <Grown & Sexy>(2005) . Like you never thought clearly ... read more

方大同 [Khalil Fong] - Timeless
70

a cover-compilation of Khalil Fong , in case most people not knowing : the famous D'Angelo 'Feel Like Makin Love' was also a cover , which was released in another demo- version earlier in his cover-compilation <Interpretation:Remakes> in 2008 . Cover-ing is a good way to introduce classic , learnable pieces by musicians , to a broaden audience .

On IVE - IVE EMPATHY
"exactly in the opposite way , I listen to K and J alot , and K Idol Music is undoubtedly a big part of K-Pop , but it still cannot represent all of K-Pop . I am always trying to explain this phenomenon . Plus , I am really looking forward to the KMA(Korean Music Awards) several days after . And similarites are not samples , I make sounds (probably not music) and music production analysis videos . From the perspective of a creator , I really do not like people producing in this way"
On IVE - IVE EMPATHY
"I choose Fall Out Boy as the reference , because it is more popular and more likely to be listened and remembered by people these days . So 'ATTITUDE' could take over the place with this motif ? Like what happened before ? That's the point ! Plagirism is not to be easily defined , but if all listeners dare not to stand against these _songmakers_ with the method , there would be nothing new with the songs . As a listener , I can only lower my marks for the reason , and this showed my ATTITUDE"
On IVE - IVE EMPATHY
"I absolutely know there would be more 'previous' examples , by the way this is not what 'sampling' is about, just similarities . The point is that this method of production should not be acceptable , no matter who else does this I treat it with the same idea , nothing's wrong with the group herselves ."
On Ethel Cain - Perverts
"I didnot give a lowest mark because there was still some 'music parts' in it , but it is obviously impossible to spend an hour in life to figure out all those about . I just felt nothing about those so called experimental"
On cardinal's review of AKRIILA - epistolares
"yep , just Spanish , Rosalia does not represent it all"
On jackzebra - 王中王 [King of Kings]
"some guys out here in China are trying to interpret and transcript music-critics-language , like from ROLLINGSTONE , PITCHFORK , NME . and this just sounds like something they would recommend to the listeners here . plus: I really donnot like the #Rage #pluggnb those sub-genre culture , I am not into it , please forgive me for my opinion"
