aespa’s ‘Armageddon – The 1st Album’: All 10 Songs Ranked


K-pop queens aespa latest sonic adventure 'Armeggedon' dropped on May 27.

While the K-pop girl group is known for blending their real and virtual personas, their first full-length album explores parallel worlds, giving KARINA, GISELLE, WINTER and NINGNING infinite possibilities as both otherworldly idols and relatable young women navigating adulthood. Despite aespa’s metaverse concept and larger-than-life personas, we love hearing them lean into their human side on “Prologue.” Over a deceivingly upbeat pop production, the girls address the difficulties and messiness of growing up, admitting to anxiety, disappointments, and loss of passion. Plus, the additional whirring synthesizers that join midway through the second verse are a final cherry on top to show how “Supernova” isn’t using copy-paste formulas — a staple throughout aespa’s strongest music moments with this new track as a shining jewel in their K-pop crowns.
