SELUGI: ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE

SCORE: 72/100

SELUGI's second solo effort continues in her consistency, showcasing her abilities as a soloist very well through catchy and fun K-Pop tracks that mix in elements of R&B to give the project more flair as it goes along. The songs are mostly what you would expect; it lacks the same experimentation that her debut had - but the EP still shows promise for the Red Velvet alum.


The project dips slightly with 'Rollin' (With My Homies)', a particularly regrettable song when compared to the generally strong previous tracks. The content of the track is cringeworthy and the production is some of the more choppy content you can get out of K-Pop from time to time, and it takes away from what is otherwise a mainly consistent project by quite a bit.


There isn't a whole lot to take from 'Accidentally On Purpose', but it's solid for what it is. It's a nice, refreshing little K-Pop EP to settle into the earlier months of the year with, and it's one of the better releases in the genre to come out so far this year. This project definitely sticks out a lot more than some of 2025's other music releases so far, and fans of K-Pop will find something they like on this short & sugary sweet EP. 


It lacks the sass that one may expect and it falls into more stereotypical territory for the genre. It isn't a bad project by any means and there is still an abundance of promise present within the EP - but it lacks the same charm that her debut mini-album had jolted out with.

DEFTONES: GORE

DEFTONES: GORE SCORE: 89/100 A shorter and less favored album for many, Deftones' 2016 albums hits the right spots and returns to the form found throughout their 2006 opus 'Saturday Night Wrist'.  For many, 'Gore' manages to be the weakest effort in the deeply complex and delightful discography of the band. It is a less praised album overall - which I was immediately confused by upon playing the first track. The album has the same complexity as their other projects - having a more modern sound and using different soundscapes to make the album unique from their other projects while still keeping the cohesion of their albums up to par.  It's a striking comeback that engulfs their discography with more heavy & scenic tracks, with each song having a different sound than the last and the album coming together quite well. There are some weaker moments on this album and it feels less polished than their previous works, but it is an incredibly solid and great projec...

HIM: SLIPPERY WHEN DEAD

Image
SCORE: 98/100 It's always interesting to see the early forms of songs by various bands, demos for huge tracks like 'Razorblade Kiss' and 'Join Me In Death' reside on the 'Slippery When Dead' demo collection, and HIM manages to make even the earliest, choppiest stages of their songs sound like pure, otherworldly bliss. The demo versions of the songs are drastically different from the album versions - making this an absolute must for any fans of HIM/fans of the main album ('Razorblade Romance). Each demo is just as gorgeously crafted as the main, polished tracks, and despite some poor audio quality due to the tracks being demos - 'Slippery When Dead' is just as good as their finished efforts in the end. 'Slippery When Dead' is both highly interesting and deeply entertaining. There's something truly captivating about the demo versions of what would become 'Razorblade Romance', and some of the instrumental choices on these unfinis...

HIM: RAZORBLADE ROMANCE

Image
SCORE: 100/100 HIM's second and most well known album manages to be both loving and melancholic all at the same time - with almost otherworldly qualities that you simply will not find from any other band, 'Razorblade Romance' is a passionate album that is full of feelings and heart within every track, it's a clearly fleshed out and worked on project that was polished until absolute perfection, and Ville Valo makes himself even more known as a stunning vocalist throughout the 42 minute runtime of the album. Each track is just as stunning as the last - with gorgeous compositions and a masterful chemistry behind the members of the band, HIM made themselves even more known with 'Razorblade Romance'; an album that contains some of what may be considered their "signature" material and their sound being shown off to the max. It's not often that a band can create a new subgenre due to how striking their music is - but with HIM came love metal. The album is...
