XG - THE CORE - 核
70

GALA is still great. HYPNOTIZE is great as well, I'm glad it matches GALA's sound and I wish the rest of the album was like this instead of leaning toward R&B.

ILLIT - SUPER REAL ME
79

Great debut EP.

ILLIT - I'LL LIKE YOU
70

Cherish insane title track. It's just so damn good.
Pimple is incredibly catchy, I love it a lot.
Tick-Tack is stupidly good as well.

ILLIT - bomb
75

I'm literally obsessed with little monster.
Do the Dance is a great title. I can't believe they pulled it off with a prod that goes all over the place but it works perfectly. What a song.
I adore bamsopoong as well, it's such a good song. Love its vibes.

RESCENE - lip bomb
70

It's a good release that keeps growing on me with each listen.
I had pretty huge expectations because I really like RESCENE and I think they have a really good and exciting discography so far. Unfortunately, the album fails to match the quality of Glow Up or surpass it, but I still like it.
Heart Drop already grew on me a little, I like it.
Bloom is very nice. I think it's one of my least fav RESCENE titles by default, but it's still a very nice song. It's catchy.
I love ... read more

BOYNEXTDOOR - No Genre
75

Genuinely a good EP I don't get the low ratings on this album.

ROSALÍA - LUX
94

I can't get this album out of my head. I'm quite literally obsessed with it. I haven't even listened to it that much yet but I won't stop thinking about some of its songs.

ALICE - Color Crush
90

Another great release, a little better even.
'Heart Bank' is a super catchy song and sets the tone for the rest of the EP. 'Pow Pow' is incredibly fun, such a great title. 'Roopretelcham' is straight-up one of the best KPOP songs released in the last 10 years. 'Wonderland Girl' is very nice, another catchy bop. 'Farewell' is an okay ballad; unfortunately, the Atom featuring sucks balls. 'Midnight, moonlight' is yet another great ... read more

ALICE - WE, first
87

This debut EP is just so damn good.
It's a pretty classic 3rd gen cute-ish GG release at first sight, but most of the songs there have something genuinely great about them.
I would say that 'My Star' is the most basic one. It's "just" a solid cute GG song with a really catchy prod. This could've been an APRIL song imo. The prods are amazing, imo. That's the KPOP I've always loved and miss a little.
I'm surprised that MonoTree and DEEZ produced ... read more

f(x) - Electric Shock
95

The perfect f(x) release to me.
It captures their sound beautifully in a very condensed project. No skip, I love every song in this EP.
Electric Shock has a godly bridge.
Jet has one of their best choruses in all their discography IMO.
Beautiful Stranger is wonderful.

Night of Lifetime - 닫힌 정원과 사라질 환상 [Farewell, Eden]
75

It almost feels like Jannabi at times. Less theatrical but still. Largo is great, I love this song a lot.

Hearts2Hearts - FOCUS
86

Pure SM GG excellency.
Apple Pie, Flutter, and Blue Moon are wonderful.

NMIXX - Blue Valentine
93

Yeah, I love this album a lot.

It took me one or two days for it to really, really grow on me. I liked the album right away but I built such insane expectations for it passively (I need to remind you that I finally got into NMIXX this year so I've looped their discography since March; I listened to them A LOT over a short-ish period of time) that I just found it good and that's "all". I didn't fall incredibly in love with any song right away, but I don't mind not ... read more

백예린 [Yerin Baek] - Flash and Core
87

It's such a different album!
I'm not sure how I feel about it precisely yet. Overall, I really like it, but I need more listens to immerse myself in it and really absorb this project.

There are songs I absolutely adore and others I vibe with a little less, but overall, I don't think this album has any low points. It's very consistent; it sounds different from what she does, and I'm glad to see her evolve as an artist. I've never been a fan of The Volunteers ... read more

Tuerie - Les Amants Terribles
86

Album de dingue.

twenty one pilots - Breach
95

It's hard not to compare it to Clancy when it's tied to it and was released so shortly after. I think I prefer Clancy atm because this album fucked me up a lot and reignited a deep love for this group. However, I love this album a lot still. I think some of the songs there are some of their best songs to date. The album has insane highs, like, genuinely. I love how cohesive it feels; it's so pleasant to listen to; love its atmosphere as well. I really like how some songs are ... read more

Joni - Things I Left Behind
72

Yeah idk I like it a lot. I haven't really had the time to dive into anything new lately so I just looped this album and it grew on me quite a lot. I find it very nice and relaxing. The melodies are super catchy and her voice is charming.

aespa - Rich Man
60

This album feels a little lazy, ngl. I only like half of it. They took very little risk and some of the songs sound really, really familiar (not that it's a bad thing per se, just that they really sound like already-existing aespa songs). I'm thinking of 'Count On Me' which sounds very much like 'Lucid Dream' (for instance), and 'To The Girls' which is a lamer version of 'Live My Life' x 'Just Another Girl'. I really dislike 'Rich ... read more

NCT WISH - COLOR
75

Baby Blue is insanely good.

TREASURE - LOVE PULSE
69

Nice retro EP. It's very inoffensive but I don't dislike it.
I like EVERYTHING, it's a nice song. PARADISE is nice too, it's harmless and groovy. NOW FOREVER is okay, it's corny and even has an unbearable solo! BETTER THAN ME is quite whatever; this song does nothing to me.

"@playback Yeah, definitely. Everything about 'I burn' felt so complete and genuine, probably the peak of their artistry. The 'HANN' 'HWAA' and most importantly 'Dahlia' trio will never not be incredible to me."
