Is SNSD's Korean discography REALLY as bad as people make it out to be?

[Joji.]

Besides the fact SNSD is/was my favorite group, they're my most played artist(s) on last.fm. And I'm not the kind of person that can like a group without being able to listen to their music.

 

I actually find their Korean discography to be quite solid in comparison to a lot of other girl groups. Obviously they can't compare to T-ARA/f(x) but I don't think it's as bad as people constantly make it out to be.

 

I mean, it contains gems such as Complete, Destiny, Etude, Star Star Star, Show Show Show, Forever, Mistake, My Best Friend, Snowy Wish, Telepathy, Trick, How Great Is Your Love, Oscar, Promise, Express 999 and XYZ.

 

Is it really that bad? What are some of your favorite album tracks?

[Juliette]

Is not bad, but it doesn't live up to their popularity.

The Boys album, Run Devil Run repackage, and their first album were pretty bad in my opinion, with the exception of a few songs.

 

My favorite album tracks are: Europa, Goodbye, Wait a Minute, Genie, Boyfriend, Romantic St. and XYZ.

 

On the other hand, their japanese discography is flawless.

Music taste is subjective so no, to some it slays.

[h0neanias]

Hardly. But lately the group has been a victim of ill-conceived experiments, IMHO.

[Rabbit]

Not at all.

In fact I've always loved their Korean discography more than their Japanese one, despite what a lot of Sones may say.

[skyfly]

no, its depend on your music taste....

[denizen mars]

It's a bit bland for the most part, but so are most SM albums.

[Ghettoe]

SNSD, is strangely one of those groups where I've never been able to sit through their songs. I mean there are idol groups, I care not for but I've had one or two songs that stuck but I've never been drawn in by SNSD. Hmm, this goes for F(X) too. It's not an SM thing either because TVXQ - Before U go is one of my fave idol songs.

[Emi95chan]

I don't think it's bad at all. The only songs that I can't get into are some ballads usually but there are some pretty awesome songs too as well and their dance tracks are great. I think they have a rather solid discography.

[abra]

The few albums (rdr, oh, igab, some of mr mr) I've heard were poor

 

I only really like trick among their album tracks.

[Helbi]

No

 

Personally I don't like SNSD's Japanese music much aside from select songs but I love their first album.

[asjkghasdasdas]

2010/2011-now yes.

 

 

their early stuff was nice though

[pretty_angel92]

no it's not but tbh, their japanese discography >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Dakota]

i love every snsd song

[Anna19]

 snsd songs are more popular ...lots of hit jelly peasants  believe other wise...snsd songs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.....

[Teresa&Clare]

It's not bad i have a lot of their Korean songs

but they have some songs that just suck and are there to fill up space to make a whole album lol

[Moonshine]

in comparison to their japanese discography, it's a bit bland, but it's not bad.

 

in the end it comes down to individual taste.

[shaym]

YES

[alltaengsic]

Not at all. Music is subjective so its up to you.

[sxpant]

Kpop fans judge snsd songs, funny tbh.

all of kpop idols has pretty bad discography compare to good and innovative j-band.

T'ara, snsd, 2ne1, wonder girls, miss a, sistar, apink, beg, or boy groups, all of them are bad, kpop songs standard say it all.

[dvang]

Nope,it's just that their Japanese discography is better,surprisingly most of the albums during their peak era like gee and genie mini albums and the oh full album were lackluster compared to their 1st album,hoot,the boys and mr mr which are easily their best Korean albums overall

[Metronomy]

It's pretty weak.

 

Sm's title tracks are either hits or misses but they usually put out pretty solid albums. Just not for snsd for some reason.

[Jon Snow]

yes it is. Even their first japanese album was a bore despite all the hype of it being one of kpop's best albums.

[I Was Pon This Wei]

I mean it's not but the thing is when you compare their recent Korean tracks to their Japanese ones and their earlier stuff (Gee/Genie era) then it makes their recent stuff sound meh. 

[teatea]

No, number of sold album prove it. No matter people here try to put down snsd songs, fans and snsd mv youtube numbers of views said their discography attach their attentions and unique.
