The biggest takeaway I got from this album is that EXO's vocals have not diminished one bit. However, the weakest spots in EXO's music still seem to be the rapping which I still firmly believe does not need to be in almost every Kpop song. Fortunately, the vocals overshadow the spotty rapping and make almost every song on the album an enjoyable listen. Overall, this album is a delightful listen and will be in my rotation for a while.

Very pleasant surprise from aespa. Did not expect this from them at all. Had some very unique sounds that didn't sound out of place or overly experimental. Enjoyable listen.

Nothing special. I was disappointed, but not surprised. The pre-release single and the song with TAEYANG set the bar really low for me.

JYP producers never fail to make me laugh

Autotune overload. I usually don’t mind autotune if it’s done correctly, but this was something.

Surprising, but not unwelcomed. This album is phenomenal and something that we have never heard of from Lil Yachty. He really channeled his inner Pink Floyd for this one.

Very enjoyable song. Might be better than "The Feels" which was a very good song in its own right. Maybe it's the more "mature" vibe and less "cutesy" vibe that captivates me.

Happy she moved away from the cute poppy sound she had in her first two EPs. Overall, it was an enjoyable listen.

I didn't expect much and I didn't get much. I don't understand why SM refuses to put any effort into creating good music for this group. This group consists of some of the most talented idols in the K-pop industry and the product is so trash. SM doesn't want to make music that makes the most out of this group's strength which is their vocals. Why does this album not have any ballads or smooth R&B songs when Taeyeon, Wendy, Seulgi, and Winter are in this group? Make it make sense.

There is nothing about this song that warrants a good rating. The lyrics and production are not good, and Jimin's vocals during the bridge sound off. The only thing going for it is that it will get plenty of views and streams, but that's about it.

In my opinion, one of the most well-put-together Kpop albums ever. EXO's The War shows off the group's biggest strength, their brilliant vocal abililties. Unlike most SM albums these days, The War is actually a cohesive album that doesn't overexperiment with the group's sound. I hope that EXO's upcoming album can match or surpass this album's quality.

In my opinion, Illmatic is not only the greatest hip-hop album of all time but also the best bar-to-bar album of all time. Nas' flow and rhymes are fucking incredible and fit perfectly with every beat. It makes no sense to me how Nas wrote this album as a teenager because I don't think any rapper at any age will ever match this masterful lyrical performance again. No one can paint a picture in your head with words like Nas.

Not their best work, but still pretty decent.

Edit 1/16/23: This shit is really good. Can't stop listening to these songs, especially "OMG". However, I still think "Attention" and "Hype Boy" are better.

Very good and consistent album, but it does not have the same highs as GREY Area and SIMBI.

Fantastic album. A big step up from 'GREY Area' which was great in its own right. Definitely one of the best albums of 2021 and one of the best albums I've ever heard in general.

This album is a masterpiece. With what is in my opinion the best album of 2022, Black Country, New Road have improved greatly from their debut album For The First Time. The raw emotion in each and every song is so captivating, yet so depressing and tragic. How they will follow this masterpiece up is beyond me, but what I do know is that I am more than excited for what will come next.

After listening to this record, I can confidently say that Little Simz is by far the best female rapper and, in my opinion, one of the best rappers in the industry. Her lyricism is elite and her voice has this sort of swagger to it that makes every song enjoyable to listen to.

This album is just amazing. I would say that the production and lyrics are absolutely incredible, but I don't think that does it justice.

What a phenomenal fucking album. I do not know why I put this album off for so long, it is amazing and flows so well together. 'Let It Happen', 'The Moment', 'Yes I'm Changin', 'Eventually', and 'The Less I Know the Better' are some of the best songs I have ever heard. I'm pretty upset with myself for not listening to this album sooner.

This album is absolutely beautiful. The production and vocals are heavenly, and listening to this album has been one of the most calming experiences of my life.
