Why is the Fear Factor high for a boy K-pop band and low for a girl one? You work it out!
I've heard more girl K-pop I've enjoyed than boy (precisely none of the latter) and I always enjoy hearing the girls sing. No, I'm not Googling them! Honest! Another EP, which is one saving grace the K stuff has: most of the bands seem to release EPs rather than albums, so there are less tracks to get through. This has six, with what I assume are some eco-friendly songs, though “Hear the Wind Sing” might be more concerned with a late night at the local Korean restaurant for all I know. But “Save my Earth” surely is an eco-whine, while “Rain in the Spring Time” may not be, but it sounds nice.
But meh, maybe I've just zoned out on too much K-pop over the last two months, or maybe it really is this bad. I got nothin'. Ya let me down, girls. Oh well. Next!
