I’ve listed my “high tens” for a lot of artists, but it surely’s time to rummage by way of whole discographies and rank each single from worst to greatest. This characteristic will primarily sort out teams who’ve disbanded or gone on indefinite hiatus. It’s a means for me to re-evaluate my preliminary ideas on their singles run. Don’t be stunned if the order has modified from previous countdowns. These items are all the time in flux!

18. In The Night time Sky(2011)
I’ve by no means actually cared for this “AS Crimson” monitor. It simply sounds too dated and the manufacturing feels tinny and uninspired.

By 2009 requirements, a reasonably inauspicious debut. Nonetheless, that dated Courageous Brothers manufacturing nonetheless feels very nostalgic.

For his or her closing official Korean single, the group slowed issues to a sensual glide with the slinky First Love.

In some ways, this can be a extra upbeat companion for First Love. I get pleasure from it, but it surely looks like a stepping stone to the far superior Shh.

This took the stylish sound of their debut and matched it with an iconic hook that’s as addictive as it’s cartoonish.
3. Bang! (2010)
Actually considered one of After Faculty’s most iconic tracks, Bang nonetheless sounds explosive and superior right now. It’s such a singular sound for Okay-pop.
2. Shh (2014)
That is so groovy and attention-grabbing, enjoying with musical tropes in a means that makes it really feel equal elements acquainted and completely alien. I like how the music retains blooming into new melodic highlights. It’s one of many group’s clear musical peaks.

Merely the most effective lady group tracks ever. From the nice and cozy texture of the synths to the trance manufacturing and euphoric refrain, Shampoo stands as After Faculty’s magnum opus and a towering Okay-pop achievement. (full evaluation)
