300 ratings, wow wow wow
/// Intro: Chapter 0 ///
As with many of my milestone and 100 rating reviews, this'll mostly be context around why this album means so much to me, and maybe a few snippets of mention of the actual tracks themselves.
Objectively speaking, is this the most world-renowned album on the planet? No, and bridging that further to K-pop and TWICE. Probably not for those categories either. But music isn't just about objective sounds or quality (in most cases) it's about the ... read more

<Eighteen (signal)[70]>is just a really good k-pop song, nothing crazy new but it’s not generic as all hell. (And thankfully isn’t falling for the tiktok trend trap most groups are nowadays)
<Shining Bright[80]> sounds like a really good anime opening, for sure going to be mapped in osu! I see the 1-2’s already.
<picnic[60]> is good for a b-side(?) but doesn’t hit the same heights as the previous two.
<Dandelion[50]> not a big ballad enjoyer ... read more
Billlie's third chapter is as engaging, charming, and mystical as ever.
Billlie has yet to release a project I haven't immediately fallen in love with, and I'm happy to report that this project has yet to change that. I'm glad they dropped the stupidly-long track names they were using with the last project.
Vocals; raps, lyrics, beats, everything here is top-tier. Billlie are slowly solidifying themselves as the de facto standard of the genre.
"Can't wait for all of you guys to get deleted, what a waste of time y'all are spending."
This was what my review was before I rated it or heard it; simply in response to the bots that brigaded this release.

With that said the review.
<Face off[40]> Given how generic the production ... read more
Remi out here getting better with every release. As someone who enjoys vocals in these sorts of songs, I'd prefer if they had more presence, but overall a great showing.

I've been super turned off of anything K-Pop solely because of the actions of certain stans on Twitter, so if you don't mind me asking, what are some of the greatest K-Pop albums of all time? Could you maybe give me a top 3? Any era is fine, but I want the best of the best. Also, thanks for the follow! 💕
