    Fave Albums

    I feel like I have three tiers in my albums for the year - truly fantastic albums, excellent albums and really good albums.


    Truly fantastic:

    albums I keep returning to again and again and falling more in love with, no to few skips


    Baekhyun - Bambi (tied for me for album of the year)

    A gorgeous R&B throwback masterpiece.


    NCT 127 - Favorite (tied with me for album of the year)

    NCT Dream - Hot Sauce

    I've really been surprised and impressed, because while I love NCT, the albums are not always totally cohesive and one thing I really enjoyed about both of these is how cohesive and awesome the pacing is. Rather than listen to a few songs, I found myself listening to both of these entire albums repeatedly. I loved Sticker but I think Favorite is superior in terms of the whole album experience. In contrast, I prefer Hot Sauce to Hello Future. Both albums span a range of styles and genres, from driving hip hop to stripped back vocal beauty to warm R&B to dance floor ass shakers.


    Excellent:

    albums I think are great but I do tend to skip songs or not play as often


    Purple Kiss - Hide & Seek

    I really liked their first EP too, but this one has a great blend of vocal showcase ballads and upbeat pop.


    Shinee - Don't Call Me

    I loved the retro feel of this album, which captured the great vocals and harmonies of Shinee while also experimenting with new textures.


    aespa - Savage

    A great debut that again shows a range, from the mainstream pop of Yeppi Yeppi to the slow burn of Lucid Dream.


    NCT 2021 - Universe

    I really didn't know what to expect here, but this is also really well paced with a diversity of songs and I really love the way it takes us from R&B grooves to sweet hip hop to comfy soft ballads. A true showcase of talents and vocals here!


    Kai - Peaches

    I think the mood isn't as consistent as the first release, which I prefer, but this is still a really strong album that continues to experiment with modern R&B textures.


    Really Good:

    I enjoy these albums - not necessarily listening to the whole thing or as often, but I also recognize they're not at the level as some of the ones above.


    The Boyz - Thrill-ing

    One of my complaints since listening to The Boyz is that they have really good vocals masked by the production - this release really dialed back on that to let the vocals shine on some excellent songs. The tt is bright and sparkling fun but the entire release explores a range of dance pop to darker moods.


    EXO - Don't Fight the Feeling

    Again, this is a really cohesive album - a bright splash of summer fun and good vibes with the exquisite vocals I love.


    WayV - Kick Back

    The tt is the weakest, but I enjoy the rest of the album which expands on the chic R&B-inflected style that is quintessentially WayV.


    Fave Songs

    So many! If I narrow down to top 10 that have so far stood the test of the year..


    Baekhyun - Cry for Love (tied for me for SOTY)

    NCT 127 - Sticker (tied for me for SOTY)

    EXO - Paradise

    NCT 127 - Magic Carpet Ride

    Purple Kiss - Ponzona

    D.O. - I'm Gonna Love You

    Baekhyun - Drown

    Stray Kids - Thunderous

    NCT Dream - ANL

    aespa - Next Level


    (New contenders)

    Kai - Peaches

    WayV - Miracle

    NCT Dream - Dreaming

    NCT U - Sweet Dream

    (I feel like I might add some more NCT Universe songs upon further listen but it's too soon except for Miracle, which I've been obsessed with since the track video)
