SHOWNU X HYUNGWON - LOVE ME
67

Sonically speaking, I enjoyed every track here, but the lyrics were annoying the hell out of me. After the “do you love me, do you love me or not” and the “super superstitious” back to back, I just knew every track on the album would be like that lol. The only exception was Shownu’s solo, and because of that, it’s my favorite track. It would've been Hyungwon’s if he weren’t talking about breathing in it, as if the “breathe breathe ... read more

Anitta - EQUILIBRIVM
75

Nem sabia que a Anitta tinha um projeto novo a caminho; fiquei surpreso quando abri o site e vi ele todo verdinho. Que ótima surpresa esse álbum, definitivamente o projeto mais consistente e interessante dela, super brasileiro e gostoso de ouvir. Parabéns any, aqui você brilhou!

Xdinary Heroes - DEAD AND
100

I knew I was going to love this, but I wasn’t prepared for it to become my favorite XH release to date. I really thought it would take them longer to top Beautiful Mind...

AMPERS&ONE - DEFINITION
73

I love all the songs here, but this should’ve ended with My Way. The last two tracks are cute, but very bright compared to the rest of the album 😭. At least they kept them at the end of the EP, though, because it’s a weird switch, it suddenly gets all soft out of nowhere.

KINO - Lost and Found
72

I love TAXI a lot more than I’d like to admit, lmao. Everything else is fine, I mean, HENNESSY sounds like a discarded track from his last EP, but a little bit better. It’s definitely an improvement. Again, TAXI is great, I’m obsessed!

SF9 - About Love
73

It’s pretty much what I was expecting when they said it was a “special album” tbh. They’re celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, and I feel like this is just a gift to their fans. FNC doesn’t seem too interested in making things work for them either, so I don’t really expect much anymore. I personally like this sound a lot and think it’s a lovely EP, but it feels more like a collection of K-drama OSTs than a K-pop album.

BTS - ARIRANG
58

Well, that was disappointing... I haven't enjoyed a BTS release since Black Swan in 2020, so when they announced a comeback, I promised myself I wouldn't set my expectations too high. But I really like them, so I can't help but expect something at least better than their latest releases. I wouldn't go as far as saying the album is necessarily bad, but it's incredibly boring and uninteresting 😭

I think Swim is great, it gave me hope when I first heard it but ... read more

JUSTB - GOING SOUTH
75

Oh thank god it's not another pop rock track, I like this and I hope they keep this sound for the album

aoen - 青春インクレディブル (Seishun Incredibles)
80

This is actually a lot better than their debut for me. This sound works really well for them, and I wish this had at least two more songs. I feel like, just like their debut, they chose the wrong song to be the title track, ‘MXMM’ could be a hit and really help them attract fans, because the amount of people who don’t even know this group debuted is crazy. Why is HYBE being so sloppy with them 😭

KINO - EVERYBODY’S GUILTY, BUT NO ONE’S TO BLAME
44

the last track is so out of place in here pls why would he make a bunch of horny ass songs with loud club instrumentals and then end the album with a sad ballad 😭

Anitta - Bang
61

10 anos.... não envelheceu muito bem, mas ela foi o momento. Continua sendo o auge da criatividade dela, na época a diva ainda estava colhendo os frutos de Show das Poderosas, ela tinha um sonho e um patrocínio da Moschino e fez acontecer (mas a que custo, né...). o famoso 'you had to be there'

IDID - I did it.
73

I wasn't sure about the title track at first, but it ended up being my favorite song on the album 😭 probably because I already knew 6/8, but still... I'll forget this very easily just like I do with every starship group debut, but I still have hopes for them

ChoCo1&2 - ChoCo Takes Hollywood (MAX)
75

Well, I enjoyed that a LOT more than I thought I would. I honestly wasn’t expecting to like it at all, but I still wanted to give it a try because I really, really liked Taejo and Yechan in Boys II Planet and wanted to see what they were up to before. I’m glad I ended up liking it, lol. I just hope ChoCo Ent. takes advantage of the popularity they gained through the show and finally frees them from the basement, they’re way too talented to not be doing music. And also now ... read more

Pabllo Vittar - MEXE
85

Sabia que era questão de tempo até a Pabllo trabalhar com algum grupo de k-pop, e estou feliz que foi com o NMIXX porque sempre achei que a sonoridade delas é compatível. O refrão deixou um pouco a desejar mas na segunda vez ouvindo eu já tava mexendo! A música é uma bagunça mas eu gostei demais kkkk.

JUNNY - null
80

Weight of Time totally caught me off guard, I was not ready for an 8-minute track. It changes so much it honestly feels like four songs in one, but I loved every single second of it.

This is my favorite Junny album so far.

Moon Byul - laundri
80

I really like Moonbyul's vocals. It's very unfortunate Mamamoo's music never gave her much space to use them. This is easily her best release so far.

SEVENTEEN - HAPPY BURSTDAY
74

The songs I was expecting to hate ended up being my favorites, while the ones I thought I’d love are just... meh. I don’t love that the album is basically a collection of solo songs, but at least I enjoyed most of it. Also, I really like Thunder, lol. It’s honestly one of my favorite SVT title tracks, and I went in expecting nothing...

T-ara - Absolute First Album
80

debuting like this is crazy work... ‘absolute’ is right

박지윤 [Park Jiyoon] - The First Flower Again
79

Six years free from JYP, a whole new sound, and still as talented as ever. A beautiful comeback album.

Come Back, That’s Alright, and Sleep Talking are my favorites on the album, and they’ve already secured a spot in my top 5 from her career so far!

i-dle - We are
60

I think this is my favorite i-dle release since I Burn. I really don’t like Girlfriend — probably their worst song ever — and Good Thing feels super 2010. The MV made me like it a bit more, but I don’t think I’d ever listen to it on its own... I liked everything else on the album.
