Hey this is pretty good. The sort of Middle Eastern-style flute in “Bangladesh” is different and very effective. Really solid stuff so far. “White Rappers” is very catchy, love the melody. “You Can Do It! (Give Up)” is another excellent one. Enjoyed this.

Position in Discography: Seventh
Fear Factor: Moderate
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little, yeah

Well at least I know the title means “Good Morning Fantasy”, but other than that my German is useless, and it's a hard language to listen to as well (with apologies to grindy and any other Germans here), just very harsh on the ears I find. Music is bouncy enough and she seems to have a good voice, which does not thankfully need any help from Autotune. Yeah, I would have to say there's a good mix on this, and pretty much all of it is good.

Check out more from this artist? Might but probably unlikely

That's me told then. Thought "freheit" meant fantasy. Ah well. Good enough album anyway.

"Fantasy" would be "Phantasie/Fantasie".

Back to K-Pop we go then. I'll give whoever the creative force behind certain bands is credit though: some half-decent ideas. This is the third of three EPs by this boyband, all following it would appear a theme of flight. Interesting, though I don't doubt the music will be as interesting as an in-flight magazine. Let's get it over with, then. Yeah, not much to say. It is funny how they try to use a synthy version of the main guitar riff off “Satisfaction” on “Go Higher”. Ah, bless! They think they're rockers! Sigh. One of these days I'll come across a K-Pop album that's different. That time has not yet come.

Well that's different anyway. From a boring boyband to a boring girlband, but their album opens with a really nice symphonic piano piece. Yeah, the girls always seem to put more effort in when it comes to K-Pop. Not that it's great, by any means, but it's better than Got7, not that that would be hard.

Check out more from this genre or subgenre? I'm sure there's plenty more waiting in the wings

Oh-oh! Did I see neo-soul in those genre tags? Only two n/s albums I've listened to, and hated both. And now that makes three. No way I'm listening to eighteen tracks of this. Guess I just hate neo-soul, huh?

Expected better of you. :rolleyes: If this is going to be your prevailing attitude, I'll happily ditch your other two recs.

Oh, calm down. My response is pure bemusement. Believe it or not, I am not crushed that you think Meat Wave is a dumpster fire of an album.

You're confused?
