Lorde's "Green Light" takes 40 seconds for the 808s to come in, LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" piano chords last for about a minute before James Murphy starts singing, and Daft Punk's "Giorgio By Moroder" takes an entire monologue by Giorgio himself before the synth layers start piling in. Similarly, "DANCE..." by Slayyyter has a whole minute of hi-hats, incomprehensible humming, and bass kicks before she slaps you in the face with the ... read more
Arirang is the title of a traditional Korean folk song. Its widely regarded as one of the most culturally important pieces of art to Korean culture and one of the small things that still bind the North and the South together. It has been included twice on the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List and BTS has absolutely disgraced its name on their comeback album.

With the release of "Aperture", many of Harry Styles' fans were calling him incredulous names, like "The Next David Bowie", an "artistic genius" or the "saviour of pop music."

Everything about this album is watered down, bland, subtle, ... read more
Billie Eilish manages to encapsulate love and pain within a 2 song EP perfectly
DEADLINE is probably the reason why K-pop is banned in North Korea. In the span of time it took for BLACKPINK to put out a 5-song EP, 3 of them being the musical equivalent of blending boiled chicken and sprinkling it on burnt toast, I have managed to graduate Secondary School, enter into a Junior College, score 2 distinctions at SYF, apply for different scholarships, and visit many countries. Sure, the BLACKPINK members have been busy with their own solo projects, some of which were pretty ... read more
