Critics by Gui

Following up their previous work, Nell did changed a lot with this album, perhaps for achieving a more mainstream position in the korean indie scene (of course they become more famous lately), but this is very noticiable through the record.

Walk Through Me indeed represents a change from their roots, but for good, 김종완 (the vocalist) improved a lot but you won't be seeing the same instrumentals from the previous record, it might be a little disappointing in first sight, but by the end of this album you will be liking it as much as Let It Rain for sure, it's still Nell after all.

Highlighting songs in this album may be a little hard, but 피터팬은 죽었다 can be surprising in the end and Marionette surely is Nell at its best.

Far from the emo music scene in distance, Vanilla Unity (or 바닐라 유니티) did a solid record for a debut album. Sounding just like american emo/pop punk bands with power chords and subtle screamed vocals, with Love they might not be one of the most remarkable bands ever, but definetively worth giving it a try if you're exploring the music around the world.

The album spawned a lot of popular songs, some for music videos and even one featured in a korean television drama, but 'Crave' has some awesome guitar riffs that made me choose as the highlighted song of the album.

A great experience of indie music with the debut album of the south korean-based band Nell (or 넬). Mixed with catchy pop songs and rock-oriented songs, Let It Rain fits the taste of all listeners in an unique way.

The highlighted songs are 'Stay' for its catchy melody and '믿어선 안될 말' for being the most unexpected song in the album.
