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).

I just had a re-listen to Vibrato, I kind of forget about that one – and it’s a total 10, classic Sweetune.

The way my friend and I were talking about Vibrato earlier today, what a coincidence 😭
But yeah, they had a great post-2013 singles run, just sucks knowing what they went through, it’s hard to enjoy their songs cause of it 😦
And come on, Rocket Girl isn’t that bad, it’s stupidly catchy, so it gets extra points for me 😭 I’d put that in low or mid-6s, it’s better than UFO even if both songs suffer from poor vocal mixing and too much affectations

Okay but Rocket Girl is peak K-pop cheese HAHAHA the robotic, janky off-key verses, Eric from Shinhwa making the most random feature in a K-pop song (he did manage the group at this time), the completely unserious video with sound effects and all, and the catchy chorus with the bouncy electronic beat, it’s super messy but in the most glorious way lol.
What Pascal did to the group though is really upsetting however, their songs got much better but what went on outside of them is really sad. It seems they’re much happier though now having moved past it all, always wish them well!
