Bring Me The Horizon - There Is a Hell Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let's Keep It a Secret.
85

It Never Ends is the best song that they have ever made.
While the mixing here isn't great, and Olis voice was kind of destroyed, it still ends up being a great listening experience and much more melodic than any of their previous albums. The synth work on this album also was the first sign of their more electronic elements and helped set up Sempiternal in a really great way.
Best: It Never Ends, Crucify Me, Anthem, Visions
Worst: Memorial

ONEW - TOUGH LOVE
45

This was kind of painful to get through. Every song here was incredibly generic and had pretty terrible songwriting. "Lie" was decent, probably the best here. What also surprised me is that his vocal performance wasn't that good on any song here, in fact his voice was quite irritating to me throughout this which was disappointing considering he is usually a pretty good vocalist.
1. Dot dot dot (...): 3/10
2. TOUGH LOVE: 4/10
3. Flex on me: 1/10
4. Lie: 4/10
5. X, Oh Why?: 4/10

NouerA - POP IT LIKE
35

29 songwriters involved in these 4 songs yet somehow there were 0 memorable melodies present. Toplining has gone out the window in kpop, yet the number of songwriters somehow keeps going up. Terrible instrumentation as well.
1) POP IT LIKE: 0/10 (This was actually atrocious besides the first 8 seconds)
2) SILHOUETTE: 4/10
3) A-LIST: 4/10
4) WE ARE YOUNG: 5/10

Poppy - Empty Hands

So sick of Jordan Fish's production style. Fish production + Cervini mixing = Everything wrong with modern metalcore.

Quite possibly the worst feature of all time. This groups getting desperate.

ChRocktikal - We break, you awake

Siyeon has no idea how to scream properly and if she continues screaming like she did on KALish she is going to have a very short lived rock career. I am saying this as a fan of her and a fan of Dreamcatcher, she desperately needs to work on her vocal technique.
As far as the album as a whole, it is alright, I love to see more Korean metal music, but the switch to ballads towards the end was an interesting choice to say the least. They definitely have potential, and their guitarist seems ... read more
