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).

Overall Trendline:
Man, truly an underrated group with a decent singles run with a couple of bangers in their catalogue, they have so much potential, I wish they got more comebacks, sigh…
Anyways, Die Another Day and Kick It 4 Now are both 8.75 for me. All tracks are 8 and above for me. So my average would be 8.32

Also, ngl, I thought Kick It 4 Now would be an 8.75 for you too given it ranked a little high in the top kpop songs list of 2023

Kick it 4 Now is basically the main thing I know them for, but it was one of my top songs the year it came out, and the whole EP one of my most played albums that year as well. Would love if they revisited that sound again.
