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).

Honestly, by Hypertonic, it felt as if we were just entering their imperial phase. Sigh, truly an underrated gem, wish they stuck around a little longer, glad to know a few members are still releasing music.
With that being said, my personal average is an 8.71. Heartbeat’s a 10 for me and the rest are prolly tweaked by a 0.25 shift here and there

Also, this thought randomly popped out of nowhere, but I lowkey wondered how an Eternity review would look like? Even though after I’m Real, they have been releasing generic slop and they barely were featured on this blog a couple of times as well, but an analysis on them sounds funny thinking about it 😭

I miss TAN. They had such great songs. Hyper Tonic and Heartbeat are my favorites from them.
