Battle of the B-Sides:: i-dle: VILLAIN DIES

Image
 Thank you to whoever decided to submit this song for October. I'm slightly surprised that this one was chosen instead of one of their other Halloween-appropriate songs, but I'm the opposite of upset or disappointed. I actually had an idea to do a similarly titled song by Girls' Generation, but then this landed in my lap from The Form, and I'm perfectly fine with swapping it out.  i-dle debuted in 2018 under Cube Entertainment as a six-member group, originally under the name "(G)i-dle". A lot of their songs have been written by their leader, the very fierce Soyeon, and I just have to say that this specific album has a lot of songs I really like on it. VILLAIN DIES is the third track of their 2022 album, I NEVER DIE . The lyricist and composer is Soyeon (CLC, Baby DONT Cry, Key, Kim Namjoo, and Ravi), and the composer-only is THE PROOF (iKON, Jo Yuri, BVNDIT, CLC, ASTRO, Pentagon, Hyolyn, VAV, Viini, and Verivery). This is a dark fairytale of a song, and I lov...

Song Review:: Keyveatz: OXY_GEN- OXY {Debut}

Image
Release date: 2026 June 29 Album tracklist: Key Beats , Catch My Breath, OXY , SUB_ZERO (feat. punchnello) , SUCK IT UP Album runtime: 12 minutes  Well, not a single song on here is over three minutes. That's not ideal. Also, the group is not on Underage Protocol, which is nice, because then I get to sit on the song for a little bit. But, let's see what kind of a debut we're working with.  Okay. This is quite the intense song. Even when the skittering beat goes away, we're left with a deep bass that at concert levels is going to rattle the bones in your chest. Very strong techno music going on. There's a spot that's got the variation levels that I look for where that deep bass is cut out, but overall, there's something about the song that feels a bit too frantic for my energy right now.  We've got a decent mix of rapping and singing, which is good. On both ends, we're listening to well-supported voices, and this is obviously a group where it's ra...

Greatest Hits:: Cross Gene: Black Or White

Image
 This is one of the many groups that debuted in 2012, which is why 2012 was called the year of boy groups. There were a lot that debuted and a lot that did really well. Some of them took longer than others, but generally speaking (and it's not just me with my love of 2012 groups), the 2012 boy groups were a good crop. And they are actually technically no longer on hiatus because they released a song back in June of this year (2026)! Yay! I'm fully aware that I'm projecting with the 2012 groups, but it brings me both relief and joy any time I see any of them doing a comeback. There's actually a cute anecdote about Yongseok seeing his leader at an airport in Japan, realizing it was Shin, and calling out to him. They had a meal together and Yongseok admitted he missed being in a group. Shin came around to the idea after a long letter that Yongseok sent him because he was the last one at the company and was still holding onto Cross Gene. Cross Gene debuted as a six-member ...

Song Review:: EVNNE: HOT MESS- HOT MESS

Image
Release date: 2025 February 10 Album tracklist : HOT MESS , Birthday, Love Like That, CROWN, Youth, Keshiki - Korean Version Album runtime: 19 minutes  This one is a little bit earlier than the ones that I've been doing recently, which makes me sad because I thought I was making progress and getting later  in the month, instead of earlier. But it's fine. At this point, the entirety of the group is at least eighteen, the youngest actually turns nineteen this year, so that's good. Project group formed from Boys Planet trainees, including Keita! Which is exciting! I liked him! But the length of the title track? Really? What is this? That beginning startled both me and my cat. Goodness. This song is chock full of energy from start to finish, a veritable runaway train. But like. Also if the runaway train wasn't going at breakneck speed? It doesn't make me feel out of breath listening to it, in other words. There's also a lot going on with the various instruments, to ...

Song Review:: Alpha Drive One: UNBREAKABLE : BEAST- BORN DIRE

Image
Release date: 2026 August 24 Album tracklist: BORN DIRE , Diamond Hour, One More Time, Talk to me , OMG! , Good Life, WELCOME home Album runtime: 18 minutes  Congrats on the win! I'm so behind that we've had another music video drop for a track from this album. I'm deeply disappointed by the runtimes though because there's one that's exactly three minutes long and one that's slightly more than three minutes, but that album runtime is not it. Also, why is the last song so oddly threatening in the title? You know, just as I was thinking about how this song just went full tilt and didn't pause for a breath, it did in fact slow down a little. So that's good that we've got that variation. There's something missing from it to make this instrumental as eerily threatening as I think it wants to be, and I think what's missing is the fact that the song is in a major key. There's nothing technically wrong with it. It's got a lot of really good p...

June 2026 Wrap Up: Soccer and Ranch

Image
 Did y'all know I've written over 1200 posts now? And that's not counting the drafts of the reviews I've got sitting to be typed up. Those are just the ones that have actually been posted. I'm super behind on literally everything to do with this blog. But it's fine. June was a good month. Debuts! Debuts I covered were: NXON , Keyveatz , and V8 (Seventeen) . The ones I did not were HAT:Q , B.YOUR SIDE , A-1000 , for groups, HyunHaYo (Treasure) for a sub-unit, and some of the soloists were Renjun (NCT) , Evan (Enhypen) ,  Lee Jae Wook , Kaina , and Kim Dong Geum . I'd just like to point out Lee Jae Wook, because he is of course the lead actor for Alchemy of Souls , which is, of course, the reason that I'm sitting here writing these words in my present and you're sitting or standing or laying there reading these words in your present.  Songs I was looking forward to: SHINee: I love that even though they're not the most active of groups these days, ...

Song Review:: V.O.S: Will I See You

Image
Release date: 2026 October 09 Album tracklist:  Will I See You , Will I See You - Inst. Album runtime: 7 minutes  I'm so excited about the older groups being more active right now. Also, with the weather getting colder, I have to start wearing my wrist and thumb brace more which makes it a bit difficult to type, but it's easier to type on a keyboard than on my phone right now because of the lack of thumb movement. Gotta love car accidents. So much fun. Anyway, they debuted in 2004 and all three of them are married. Good for them. I'm glad they could have that bit of normalcy. This is a gorgeous instrumental. It's almost a lullaby of a song. We've got the trio of instruments that are just so versatile: piano, guitar, and drums. We get both kinds of guitars, which is always fun to hear, although the acoustic guitar does get a little bit more airtime. On top of the standard trio, we've also got a gorgeous violin just soaring its way through the instrumental. This e...

Song Review:: Son Ho Young (god): Go Around

Image
Release date: 2026 October 14 Album tracklist:  Go Around , Go Around (Inst.) Album runtime: 6 minutes  If you don't think that I'm going to do a review for a member of god (pronounced "G-O-D") as a soloist, I have not been doing my due diligence in screaming about my love for this group from the rooftops. There are only so many rooftops to scream from, but I will have to rectify this. This song is Son Ho-Young's first solo release in five years, and I am honored to be able to do this for him.  The drums and the guitar don't kick off into the song immediately, which lets the first impression be one of softness. And while we do have very steady energy, the softening that occurs occasionally is going to do really well to either let the vocals rest or to highlight them. We get the instrumental in the single, so I don't have to try to listen under the vocals yet for this part, which is why I can't say that yet, but this is an excellent flow of energy and m...

Song Review:: Jeonghan & Joshua (Seventeen): DREAMSCAPE- 12 o'clock {Debut}

Image
Release date: 2026 October 19 Album tracklist: Like you, 12 o'clock , Outside, One plus one, Not personal (Joshua Solo), Coloring (Jeonghan Solo), No looking back Album runtime: 19 minutes  Whoo! The next of the Seventeen subunits has debuted, which means that now Jeonghan is in almost as many subunits as Hoshi is. If they'd done the Guoz subunit, then SCoups would have been in as many official subunits as Hoshi. I'm deeply upset though over the fact that we have a title track that is shorter than two-and-a-half minutes. And only two of the seven songs are over three minutes. But this is a specific problem across all of the HYBE groups. I don't know what it is about this song, but it sounds oddly SHINee. Am I the only one hearing that? It's got a good streak of funky guitar and almost catcalling whistling. It's just really too short to have too much variation to it, although I love how the rest of the instrumental sort of pauses a little during the whistling. We...

Greatest Hits:: VIXX: On and On

Image
 I promised that I'd do a VIXX post, didn't I? After all, what would Halloween be without the original Concept Kings? If you were to have a list of Halloween appropriate songs and it wasn't half-filled with VIXX songs, I'd be confused. In this case, I have a special fondness for this song because I keep singing part of it during my D&D games because it's wholly appropriate for our poor characters. Also, if anyone needs the range of concept that VIXX pulled out, the last post I did for the whole group was VOODOO DOLL, where they were trapped dolls in their own rooms of torment and external control. What is it this time? A lot of fun. VIXX debuted in 2012 as a six-member group under Jellyfish Entertainment. Most of their songs so far have been with the six of them, and considering how early this one is, it wouldn't be surprising that this one is with all six. Which it is. Also, all six of them are over 180cm, so they're also fairly tall. The more you learn...
