BOYNEXTDOOR - HOME
55

I actually really fuck with this title track, and I think it's my favorite one since But Sometimes. However, this album still suffers from the classic BnD problem of too many bland and monotone b-sides. Also ddok ddok ddok is here and that's just a mistake of a song on every possible level. I don't know why almost every album of theirs has at least one unlistenable track but it's absolutely ruining their average scores. (No Genre you are the exception not the standard). ... read more

BOYFRIEND - Boyager 6
84

If I had a nickel for every time I thought an older K-pop artist wasn't active only to find out they rebranded and have been alive for years, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. But also congrats on getting the name back boys. I'm not too familiar with them, but Janus is one of my fav second gen songs so I'm very happy to see them still releasing stuff after 15 years. This album gave off such perfect nostalgic second gen ... read more

마마무 [MAMAMOO] - 4WARD
85

ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME! But seriously glad these girls are finally back in the same damn building. Y'all sound too good together to not be releasing group music. 4 Flowers is a beautiful track and the acoustic remix is so fucking good.

B1A4 - SET
72

Always happy to see B1A4 still going strong. This isn't my fav release by them but it's full of good vibes and pleasant listening.

XIA - Gravity
86

An actual XIA album in 2026 oh I am eating good this week. Now I just need TVXQ to remember they make music.
Seriously though, XIA is so good. The title track is the perfect combo of drama, club, and creepy. And don't get me started on this man's voice. UGH.

AND2BLE - Sequence 01: Curiosity
68

Why the fuck did no one tell me my 4 boys that left ZB1 picked up an Evnne stray and made a new group?! And why is my facial recognition so bad I didn't recognize anyone until I went to Kprofiles?! Curious is really good until you hit the last thirty seconds what was with the sirens. The other songs were fine if a little repetitive. Bed was the best one but it was also only 2 minutes so.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE - No School Tomorrow
60

kinda cute ig but nothing stand out.

TREASURE - NEW WAV
45

Normally I play devils advocate for Treasure's music but I'm not sure I can this time. It just kinda feels like it wants to be a cross of big bang and block b but without any heart and like a decade late.

I.O.I - I.O.I : LOOP
87

This is how many songs the GFRIEND reunion should have had. I do love seeing reunions of other older groups though. These icons should not be forgotten! This was a pretty solid album! Then again I'm insanely biased to any project with Chungha in it. That's my queen.

SHINee - Atmos
97

SHINEE'S BACK! SHINEE'S BACK!
SHINEE MY BELOVEDS! I'M SO GLAD SM DIDNT ICE OUT TAEMIN AND ONEW HALLELUJAH.
There is nothing that makes me happier than hearing a Shinee comeback with such a distinct Shinee identity in 2026. I smiled like an idiot the entire time. Idk what crack they put into Atmos and Anti Believer but I'mma need them to start putting this much effort in with some of their other groups.

tripleS - <LOVE&POP> pt. 1
86

I just love how consistent in quality they are.

XLOV - I,God
77

I am obsessed with Serve. I hope they continue to go in this direction with their music instead of Rizz, cause while I did vibe with Rizz, I don't think it's the way to go long term for them. This showed off their vocals nicely in a way they haven't really done yet. I didn't really fuck with Hips tbh but considering its a step up from Bizness I can't be too mad. Either way, these divas are royalty and I'll follow them till the end of time.

IVE - LUCID DREAM
67

Nothing that really stands out but also nothing bad.

ONEWE - 點 : The Quiver
100

GOD I LOVE ONEWE. THEY HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN. Absolutely beautiful tracks boys. Yonghoon's voice sends me to heaven every time.

aespa - LEMONADE
47

Aespa keeps going downhill with every year that passes. I already disliked WDA and then Lemonade had to ruin the groove I was enjoying with a mid ass chorus. Can't Help Myself and 'Til We Die are totally my type of songs so I'll give credit where it's due, but then there's Shakin' and Bite on the same damn album like. ALSO IF I HEAR A WILLY WONKA MENTION IN A KPOP SONG ONE MORE DAMN TIME. AND ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT?! ON A KPOP ALBUM?! WHAT ARE WE DOING?!

HOYO-MiX - Flares of the Blazing Sun (Honkai: Star Rail Phainon Animated Short Single)
100

Don't tell Mydei but Phainon's my favorite. (I'm gonna pull you that E2 Cyrene if it kills me bro I promise).

PLAVE - Caligo Pt.2
76

The bsides were nothing crazy but you bet I rocked out to Born Savage. I also just want a show about whatever this plot is in the mv. Think I Am was pretty good too.

KINO - Lost and Found
70

Big Hoodie gave me fun 2013 vibes and I love it for that. The rest was okay ig. It was certainly an improvement over the last one. He needs to bring back whatever crack he had for Pose though, he peaked and has been going downhill since.

KISS OF LIFE - Who is she
90

I hate that I like it

LEE CHAE YEON - Till I Die
80

No Tears On The Dancefloor went crazy.

On LE SSERAFIM - 'PUREFLOW', Pt. 1
"@harveybeaks Just cause I don't listen to it often doesn't mean it wasn't a staple of my childhood, and also you can totally ruin something by taking it and making it considerably worse. Even if you don't like the macarena, you're not gonna sit here and tell me it's worse than whatever Boompala tried to do are you? Y'all work too much in the extremes."
