omg, you did my one. ;w; I personally love it. I can never tell if the vocalist is good or bad at it. My first 'Engrish' I heard was Ruki, and I thought he was perfect. ^^; Now having heard more, I find it difficult to be picky or dislike most music, so 'Engrish' never bothered me, it's actually become something I'm very fond of. For example, ONE OK ROCK and PLASTICZOOMS (these guys are very great!). There's just a certain kind of charm and pull they have with them singing in 'Engrish' most of the time. I much prefer Japanese over English though, so, while I love it, I wouldn't want more than what I already hear so, I'm going to go with the second option but, with an exaggeration on 'nice.' (pretend it say it's god damn brilliant on this one for me) : 3

: o I missed this news! Awesomeness!! I will make sure to give this a listen. I'm guessing it's just a single then? Still cool. Hoping for a full length album some time soon. : 3

Paloma Faith - Broken Doll

^ we're doing it again xD Coldplay - Fix You

Exactly what I was thinking. Bolded text is literally my first and only thought when I see or think of him now. God damn it. Oh my... xD I really hope it doesn't zip down any more. Congrats to his owner. I mean, its. This is confusing yet cute at the same time.

Foo Fighters - Best Of You

I stress over everything but I don't do anything. Holy nuggets. This is how to live, woo~

So many. : / Huff... I wish the gals only the best and that they be safe and can recover.

Recently been on an iTunes purchasing spree like my younger self and came out with a load of Chinese/Taiwanese songs but, mainly, a loada Mandopop albums. : 3

All of it at 6 o'clock in the morning while typing up review. #YOLO XD

Hot. DAYUM.

Plug, cerially? : / Sorry for the inconvenience, guess we can try later.

Anyone up for a session at the usual time today? Also, lol chewi, you noticed in the plug room. x'D EDIT: I'm available now, so yeah, we could even do it an hour earlier. Will be in the room peeps.

I wish him a speedy recovery and that he pulls through safely. So glad it was noticed so soon. A lot more people must do this.

Des would be proud.

It's too much to take! *ugly tears* Nah, I'll manage to sign the paper secretly, behind her back, aha. I had changed mine simply because I had so many other ideas to go with instead of 'bana' at the end. And because I couldn't decide, I just left it as is. ^^; You can request you change your username here, if you still want to change the mistake! Just ask one of the lovely admins/mods.

So, I had given this album a listen during the times I went over your review, and I must say, I would have definitely rated it lower. It's as many have already pointed out, this album sounds far too American produced to me to love as much as their previous works. I'm most certainly mega fond of their fourth and fifth album, and what stood out to me most with them, was their Engrish songs. I do have a major soft spot for Engrish, but in this release, this most obvious and favoured feature of theirs felt pretty... not special, really. I also have this weird dislike for the track I instantly enjoyed most and remember most; 'Paper Planes,' because, as you said, it's not Taka I'm thinking of. My other favourite tracks, at the moment, are 'Heartache' and 'Good Goodbye.' Beautiful tracks, to me. Not their best to me, but certainly a step in the right direction for what they desire as a band, I guess. It'll grow on me. That I can be sure of.

You could never! ;3

Artist: LM.C Single: PERFECT RAINBOW Score: Just a couple colours off from being a "PERFECT RAINBOW" If you’ve previously released a mini-album titled "PERFECT FANTASY" within the same year with a similar tracklist of eight songs in total, then you’re asking for comparisons. Since "PERFECT FANTASY" was a personal favourite release in 2014, you might already have guessed that I’m not that impressed with the rap rocking electro duo this time. I must confess I judged "PERFECT RAINBOW" with their other mini-album in mind, but who can really blame me? It did, indeed, fall short of my expectations on first listen. But let’s get on to the undeniable comparisons later and dive head first into this colourful rainbow. Instrumental opening track ‘VantaBLACK’ is a very fantastical and imagery inducing intro. Starting off with some futuristic, spacey sounds, faint piano keys can be heard after these inclusions, then turning into electric currents. It flows into ‘JUST LIKE THIS!!’ wonderfully, which starts with more fittingly used piano taps and Maya soothingly sing a few romantic Engrish lyrics. After this quiet starting point, we’re treated to that massive electro party sound we all know and love by these dudes. The track is brilliant and really stands out after the strong opener. It’s sure to get long-time fans comfortable with its reminiscent sound to older LM.C jams. With a catchy beat and a chorus bursting with energy, it’ll get you up, dancing, and hyped for more. In contrast, ‘MOGURA’ is a dark and heavy song. As the only song to be spotlighted outside the mini-album release, it’s a solid track. However, within this tracklist, it stands out like a sore thumb due to it having a sound not all gumballs and rainbows as would be expected from the pair, ultimately making the track fall flat in the long run. What follows is ‘Amnizia,’ an instantly toe tapping number thanks to its repetitive drum beat. The simple structure and sound actually make this one of the more enjoyable tracks. It's catchy as soon as it begins! ‘Minor Leaguers’ Song’ comes next, and similar to 'MOGURA,' this one's got an interesting spin on sound. It's reminiscent to punk bands like ‘Good Charlotte,' due to it sounding as perfect as one of those cheesy school anthem sing-along songs. While there’s more going on than in previous tracks, it’s actually not that captivating. This track mixes the rapping with an anthemic approach vocal-wise with little bits of parade/orchestra marching like features such as the trumpets and overlapping vocal effect. However, a nice addition to it is the trumpets at the end of the chorus that play in tune to the lullaby ‘Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star;' fitting for a band who often sing about stars. Enjoyable as it is during the listen, in the end, all this makes for is a forgettable track. ‘LADY TALK’ has an 80s disco sound which is a very charming inclusion. The electro currents are old school sounding, and it’s a smooth and slow track which reminds me of ‘PLASTICZOOMS.’ But you know it’s still LM.C you’re hearing with their cheerful tune and sparkly chorus! The following track, ‘キミヨサラバ,’ has a steady tempo just like 'LADY TALK,' and it keeps to a straight path as well. Being the ballad of the mini-album, it's a very pleasant one which still keeps your attention. We come to the end of the rainbow with 'BRAND NEW RAINBOW.' Opening up with a playful funfair sound, the track is highly energetic and doesn't tire, giving the mini-album a closer more pleasing than its opener. What LM.C has accomplished brilliantly is sticking to the same types of tracks in both releases. We’ve got the disco tune, ‘JUST LIKE THIS!!,’ the mysterious piece, ‘Amnizia,’ the positive track, ‘Minor Leaguers’ Song’ and the ballad song, ‘キミヨサラバ,’ to name just a few examples. The opening and closing tracks are, really, the stand out points of this mini-album, starting and ending the mini-album on a high. The release has a few new and different sounds, which indicates the duo are experimenting with their style. This is all good on its own, but it’s still got some polishing to do. When I’m not comparing it to "PERFECT FANTASY," it’s good. When I’m judging it on its own, it’s still just good. Maybe if both mini-albums were put together as a full-length album, it would've gotten four stars, since "PERFECT FANTASY" is truly perfect. While "PERFECT RAINBOW" is far from perfect, don’t judge this release by its title.

Spam dat perfection. Yish~ Also, YES TO THIS THEME! < 3
