Comments
Nell 3rd - Healing Process
"Through meaningful lyrics and music, they showed the best accomplishment."
It's an album that was very well expressed for a band that wanted to heal a human's heart."
"An album that has completely detached the band from the title "The Band that Seo Ta Ji Raised.""
Lee Seung Hwan 9th - Fantastic
An album that gave thorough insight to sound."
Lee Seung Chul 8th - Reflection of Sound
"An album that moved away from the shouting method and enhanced into appealing and high quality sounds"
Heritage 1st - Acoustics & Vintage
An album that doesn't stop trying out different genres of Soul, Punk, etc."
Baek Ji Young - I Won't Love
"An oppurtunity that proved that Baek Ji Young can sing a ballad"
"A song that overall represented emotions successfully."
Lee Hyori 2nd - Dark Angel
"An album that failed to continue the commerical success of the first album
Dong Bang Shin Ki 3rd - "O"
An album that can't be said to have music, but a product that was mainly aimed for the teens."
Bi - I'm Coming
"A song focused only on trying to imitate American Artists...Bi's individuality was lost."

* refrain from saying things like "This survey's messed up!" "why is dbsk considered a bad album?" "why is suju an unsatisfying artist?" etc etc
this was voted by people who run/critique the music industry. Their own opinions and thoughts.
The survey's based SOLELY on the MUSIC, not by FANS, POPULARITY, THE ABILITY TO DANCE, FACIAL IMAGE, etc
i didn't post it to prove a point or change your minds about music.
I just thot it was really interesting and wanted to share
QUOTE
keep in mind that this is solely based on the QUALITY OF MUSIC
for the people who are upset that DBSK has ended up in the "unsatisfying" list...
a netizen on naver brought a good point saying that DBSK and Lee Hyori, etc are celebrities who are brought as entertainers. They don't write their own music but are just told to sing to ones other people have made. That is probably the reason why they are on the "unsatisfying" list, since most of the singers on the "best" list are musicians who take their time into making each song with thought.
so don't be too upset.
