American music magazine ‘SPIN‘ have released their annual ranking of the best pop albums of 2011 titled, ‘SPIN’s 20 Best Pop Albums of 2011‘. Girls Generation's ‘Girls’ Generation’ album ranked 18th, respectively.
This is what the writers of SPIN had to say:
18. Girls’ Generation
‘Girls’ Generation‘
‘Girls’ Generation‘
"This nine-member, all-girl K-Pop drill team fully exploits South Korea’s 800-pound neighboring market with a Japanese-language album (plus English choruses!). And though it may be a translation trainwreck, these chipper, reality-show vets behave with real zeal — eagerly beaming, winking, chattering, emoting when it’s called for — over terrifyingly sophisticated dance tracks (echoes of Latin Freestyle, Italo disco, every Backstreet/Britney scrap from 1999), plus a dutifully aching ballad or two. The peak is “Run Devil Run,” a white swan/black swan kiss-off with a chorus so confidently sassy it could stop a North Korean missile in mid-air. "(CHARLES AARON)
