There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” features, I can average their ratings into one mega-score and place them in a pantheon alongside other acts.
As always, this feature has some rules of its own. I’m including any “Song Review” ratings as part of this graph, including Japanese releases and collaborations with one other artist. I’m not including Buried Treasures or solo/sub-unit releases. For the ratings themselves, I’m using the most current number on this blog, so if a song was part of a “Risers and Fallers” or “Legendary Songs Inauguration” post, that’s the rating you’ll see displayed here. That means there will still be a few ratings here and there I find slightly inaccurate, but it’ll mostly reflect my up-to-date feelings.
Finally, these scores are completely subjective. Feel free to agree, disagree and argue (that’s part of the fun!), but know that this chart reflects the opinion of only one person (me).

ex just tanking their entire, yet mild coast like that

but yeah, they’ve always been a mid tier group, a few bops in their early career but not a knock it out of the park banger that cements their legacy in the industry

Are we doing Twice next?

I was wondering the same thing because I don’t think Nick actually ever reviewed Like Ooh-Ahh (correct me if I’m wrong)! Maybe he’ll get to it later so Twice can get a feature in this series since they’re only one review away.

I actually really liked Ex but agree that they haven’t quite lived up to the potential of Scared (even though that sound is dated and would no longer work for them). I’m still hopeful given their individual talents but at the same time have reservations because they seem to be going for a more global sound, and we all know what that means.

Scared is so hype each time it comes on shuffle……also one of my favorite choreographies ever. Siren and maybe DILT are quite nice too and they have a couple of good b sides but other than that complete miss for me from these guys unfortunately. Sigh……….
But somehow I’m still hopeful…..they haven’t veered away from their sound yet they just REALLY have to find good songs within that sound

I don’t know this group but a 3.75 is quite epic, is that the lowest rating Nick’s ever given to a song?

No, the lowest rating Nick has given a song is 1.25, and the song in question is I’m Real by Eternity.

I see, a song called I’m Real by an AI group does seem like 1.25 territory…
