G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 2/03/25

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: 

U2 – Achtung Baby – Rating:  0 / 5

Two days in a row of this U2 shit? Am I in hell? I must be in hell!

Other albums: 

XG – XDM Unidentified Waves – Rating: 4 / 5

I’m always iffy on not just EDM, but remixes of songs I love. This album was a surprise with most songs being really good. I expected to listen to this once and think that it was interesting, then I would never look back. Yet I can say I can see myself listening to this one again for sure.

2FACE – My Boo (1st Mini Album) – Rating: 4.5 / 5

A J-Pop group that feels like they took sounds from some of the best in K-Pop 4th and 5th generations. “Girls Night Out” sounded like an ITZY anthem, and “My Boo” reminded me of NewJeans. Look forward to more from these ladies.

Nano Ayasaka – Lost & Found Vol. 1 – Rating: 4.25 / 5

I’ve been trying to find out if this album is full of covers of 80’s J-Pop, or if they are original tracks. I couldn’t really find anything on my brief searches.  If these are original songs, it really does a good job of capturing what I love  about not just city pop, but the Showa idol era music.
