Best K-pop Albums of 2013
This list is not made just according to number of sales, chart positions, critical reviews etc.
In MAMA era I use to LIKE Exo, but after XOXO, I LOVE EXO! This is the best k-pop album in last 3 years, for me! Beside great singles Growl and Wolf; Hear Attack, Black Pearl, Baby, Don't Cry, Don't Go, Peter Pan... Just incredible. There's a lot of Disney themes in the songs. I love EXO and I will support their work and albums as long as they're making this good music! EXO FIGHTING!
Coupe D'Etat, Crooked, Who You, R.O.D. I just adore every single track on this, in some crazy way emotional album. Congrats GD!
Smooth, sometimes heart breaking. "Go" is maybe their best song so far.
Oh, video for Dream Girl is this years the most creative one. "Aside" and "Beautiful" are great songs, as well!
Actually, I like the concept of the album. It's so cool that after long, long time some k-pop star put '70-'80 in songs, clothing, hairstyle and, overall, in album. Dancing Queen is so cool song, It makes me wanna chill in some retro cafe, while drinking milkshake!
NoNoNo so addicting! That is my summer song. I like Lonely Day, too.
I'm a bit disappointed at this album, especially in Rum Pum Pum Pum. But, I cried when I heard Airplane, don't know even why? It's just so great, Shadow as well. I'm sad because SM decided to make RP their first and ONLY single on album.
IU is not my taste of music, but, according about what I read and sales, charts, certifications, she did an massive, great album, so that's the reason why I put it in Top 10.
IU has a beautiful voice and it was refreshing to hear this genre since many of the bands now dwell in the Electronic and Techno one.
IU provides a genuinely fresh sound with each album. One of the most consistent kpop artists in terms of quality. The Red Shoes is an anthem for the ages
I-LOVE-EVERYBODY. But, other songs are just... I don't know, I don't feel that old Shinee vibe.
