[ANTI-IKON]

And how much of it is memorable....?

 

Quality > Quantity

[oppaarrr]

I'm satisfied with SM's albums this year. They released great albums, but sadly, they chose some bad title tracks.

[camelliabloom]

F(x) Red Light and Taemin's ACE

[Almondandlime]

And how much of it is memorable....?

 

Quality > Quantity

I've listened to all of them except the S group one and I have to say I've liked most of them....

[oppaarrr]

I've listened to all of them except the S group one and I have to say I've liked most of them....

 

If you like ballad songs, I recommend you to listen to S group 

[Get The Job Done]

Not one hit outta all those songs

 

I love EXO's mini and SNSD's Mini and TTs..

 

But some hits would be nice.

[ANTI-IKON]

I've listened to all of them except the S group one and I have to say I've liked most of them....

You also have a Red Velvet sig. 

 

Hapenis fans have horrible taste. 

[Juvia]

MrMr and Holler were my favorites (I always enjoy snsd's 'basic' music hence why they're my bias group)

 

Ace was great too, and I liked Happiness + the live Taeyong less version of Be Natural

[Gaia]

In my opinion, SM released a lot of good music this year. I usually just stick to Soshi, f(x), Shinee, and Exo but I've listened to and liked almost of all these albums.

I gave everything that came out a listen but I only liked the ones in bold *I'm still in the process of deciding whether i liked this mini. However, I'd trade everything SM came out (minus the SUJU album and ACE) with this year for a BB comeback sooooooo.. yeah. 

[sunggyuluver]

Only thing SM did for Toheart is half the title track.

The rest is all woollim.

[Brand New Sakurakou]

I love SNSD Mr.Mr mini album

[Almondandlime]

Only thing SM did for Toheart is half the title track.

The rest is all woollim.

I included it because it was technically produced by both companies so...

[iheartkyu]

If only people actually bother to take a listen instead of throwing around the stereotype that SM's music is bad quality......SM had some really good releases this year, and I'm surprised that many albums were released. At least listen to the albums before you say anything about the quality.

[JiSeo]

Mr Mr and Holler album are my favorite

[Starlight]

My favorites were Overdose, Red Light, Shine, both of Zhang Liyin's, Mamacita, This is Love repack, Electric Dream, Ace, and Rewind~

[cantnobody-]

i thought mr. mr mini was cute and listenable and dbsk had great singles (something/suri suri) but overall nothing really left a lasting impression.

red light ;_;

[reVel]

I haven't listened to an entire SM album for years (not really my type of music, I've tried in the past) but this year I gave Red Light a try and I really liked almost every song.
