This is a very solid EP! I actually think this was a great debut, especially for a group like this. It shows what they could do, even as rookies. Billlie has grown so much since this EP, so it's nice to listen to what they started with in general. All of these songs have something special within the song, even if I personally didn't love one of them.

I hate that I barely listen to this song, because when I do I get reminded of how good of a debut this is. It may not ... read more
This album is solid overall, I just think that it has the same problem that Armeggedon had, that it's not cohesive. The only songs that actually fit the theme to me are Shakin', Bite, and Switchblade. I think if it was just the title and those songs in an EP, I wouldn't be complaining. Can't Help Myself feels like it could've been on Rich Man, Camouflage feels like it could've fit on Whiplash or Drama, Roll shouldn't exist, My Plan could've fit on My ... read more
Oh my GOD, this is freaking amazing. A better single than drop dead for sure, at least for me. The way she sings in this is genuinely so addicting to listen to as usual, especially in the beginning of the song. Everything about this is just something I could listen to daily and nonstop. One of her best songs actually, I say that with my full chest, in the top ten for sure. This song is just beautifully sad, and she pulls it off so well. I also got some Filipino inspiration in the music video, ... read more
I can't believe that people keep saying that her music sounds the same...like where? Name one song that sounds like this. Anyway, what I fully agree with is that this was not what I expected. This isn't as good as more than half of her discography, but I still really enjoy this song. It's no brutal or all-american bitch, but I think this is a nice song to start off an album in general. Since it's not as in your face, plus this album is definitely going to be a bit different ... read more
To have this come out after Blue Valentine just makes me think...finally. I thought this with that album, that yes, people are finally listening to Nmixx and giving them the love they deserve, but for this to come out after and be almost just as beautiful (it'll probably be tied after more listens)...just makes me so happy and proud. I've been a fan for almost 4 years now, I became one a little after Dice came out, and they have grown so much. I can't wait what they have in store ... read more
This is such a good EP, especially for their first one. This is just making me excited to see what else they have in store for the future, since they are just so talented and have beautiful vocals already. They clearly found their sound, and I can't wait to hear more from them after Rude!
Focus π
This is such a bop! Everything about it is just so fun. They really know how to make such a fun song, and they practically just debuted. They really excel at songs like this, it's their ... read more

Such a step up from One, like...wow. These songs are pretty good, especially compared to those songs overall. I would definitely rather listen to these songs, especially since these aren't boring or unreasonably long for what the song is. Pretty solid EP.
Calcutta π
Alright, a better start to this EP than the last one. I also think this type of song warrants the length, unlike Thread the Needle and When the Bough Breaks. This is an actual decent song, that I would listen to ... read more
Didn't really like this, and that sucks. I'm someone who tries to see the light in things that get hate, or at least artists who get hate...and form my own opinion on their music or that specific song, whatever. Because I genuinely don't like "hating" or disliking something. But damn, this wasn't a good start for this band for me, but who knows, it might get better.
Thread the Needle β€οΈ
I'm so sorry, this song is just so boring to me. And it sucks to say ... read more
A pretty solid album overall, and a nice technical debut. I actually like + love each song on here, which is nice to see when I'm sometimes a hater when it comes to some albums, especially from western artists I don't listen to as often.
Born To Die π
This was one of the first songs I had heard from her if I'm being honest, and it's one of her best for a reason. I really love the beginning instrumentals; they just set the song up really well for me. I actually really ... read more
A nice EP, that really shows how much she had improved over two years. It's not perfect, but I like all of the songs on here, they all show her evolution. My favorite by far is the first song on here, it's so fun to listen to
I got it bad 89/100
Pretty self-aware with the lyrics, and I think that's what makes this song much better for me. It's a super fun song; I literally love listening to it. And I just love her voice in the chorus; it really suits her. Lover her for this ... read more
Such a great start to this version of her music. I'm so glad I finally got into her music fully, since I have listened to Pray like two years ago and I really enjoyed it. This was great, as I was expecting honestly.
Wait till I can dream 87/100 π
Such a pretty song, I was expecting to like this honestly. Since she has been recommended to me a bunch, and I've listened to one of her songs before. I finally got to her discography (at least for this specific one), and I'm so glad ... read more
This debut was so good in my opinion. They exceeded all of my expectations, and I'm glad I have yet another great girl group to stan now. This is just making me excited to see what they do next, and I have high expectations for them, based on these songs and the fact they are a sister group to Stayc.
Unchild 98/100 π
I'm so happy that I love this song, you have no idea how excited I was for their debut. I think it's exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely stan them ... read more
Just to get this out of the way, I don't think this was to piggyback off of Pinky Up, since this was already in the works when Pinky Up was coming out. This also sounds nothing like Jump. And another thing, this song is very on point with Le Sserafim, people are seriously acting as if Crazy and their intros don't exist...just saying.
Now onto this pre-release. I actually really like this. Sorry not sorry. I swear this isn't as bad as people are saying it is. This is definitely ... read more
This is definitely one their most nothingburger of a song. Like, I thought based on the beginning it would be louder and more inspired by Gnarly. Since, I actually enjoy Gnarly and I have some enjoyment from Internet Girl. But this just felt bland in comparison to both songs. I like the pinky up parts, along with the instrumentals, but the verses feel...generic and like every other song. And don't get me started on that shaking ass line, it felt like something that would be in a ... read more
Genuinely one of the best songs to come out of 2026 so far. The way this song took off is amazing, because it really deserved it. It's an amazing song, with addicting lyrics. Even before listening to the full song, I already knew the interlude. Because it's just THAT iconic already. I love this song so much, I'm happy that they've got a sound going for them.
For a cleanser I decided to finally get to this album, an album that has a lot of fans and is incredibly popular. I decided to do this one because I wanted to see if I agreed with the majority of people. (Fair warning, there are going to be songs where I don't have that much input)
This is a pretty solid album, but definitely not my favorite. I do understand why it's favored by a lot of kpop stans though, there are a lot of great songs on here. I just think some bring it down a bit, ... read more
