Taking Sides: ChoColat vs. Crayon Pop (Mid Year Singles, 2013)

[koganbot]

As you see, Crayon Pop have my top song. But for the long run I'd lay my bets on ChoColat. Crayon Pop have to rely on being insanely catchy every time out, while ChoColat only need reasonably good tunesmanship and dramatic timing and Melanie's passionate wail - all of which ChoColat can rely on.

Re: Chuck's Top Albums So Far

These'd be my top K-pop albums if I had to come up with a list, though I've listened to few of them enough to really know if they belong - though the Orange Caramel will make my P&J for sure (is their debut Japanese album, but only has five of thirteen overlaps with last year's Korean Lipstick, and of course those songs are now in Japanese):

1. Orange Caramel Orange Caramel (Avex)
2. D-Unit Affirmative Chapter.1 EP (D-Business Entertainment/Windmill Media)
3. After School First Love EP (Pledis Entertainment)
4. 4minute Name Is 4minute EP (Cube Entertainment)
5. Delight Mega Yak EP (BrosMedia Entertainment)
6. Lee Hyori Monochrome (B2M Entertainment)
7. SHINee Why So Serious? The Misconceptions Of Me (The 3rd Album, Chapter 2) (SM Entertainment)

After School tend to call their EPs "maxi singles" rather than "mini albums," but in fact their maxi singles have more songs (that is, actual distinct songs, as opposed to remixes and instrumentals) than most K-pop mini albums; in this instance, they've got six songs, three of which are ace. So I'm calling it an EP.

I think you'd enjoy the (well-titled) title song to Mega Yak (link is on my singles list); makes me imagine what'd happen if you put five Gillettes together in a room, 'cept since I don't know Korean I don't know whether or not they're all telling me my dick's too short and I'm so ugly that when I was born the doctor slapped my mama.
