  1. at least the live dvd this time around actually has the songs I care most about.

    and I'm also conflicted on the whole re-release thing... if I bought it the first time around...

    because it would feel like a trap, since they're trying to lure you in to buy a second press...

    oh well.


  2. I am really curious on the general consensus of this release is.

    I suppose people would say they've become less special without Tora, and since the new vocals growls a fair bit.

    Personally, I felt that it was *good*, but something felt *off*.

    There's no real impact/memorable releases from Brilliant Force, but that was kind of expected.

    Rebirth is an intro. Shine is as you expect if you checked the PV out.

    Tracks 3 and 4 give off the same feeling. Kanade appears to be a love song.

    last hill is honestly my favorite track, it's quite touching, though it may be because it reminds me of another song.

    I suppose Hallucination is kind of reminiscent of Resistance, and physalis has a slow start.

    STARS takes a minute to get good, while Illegal World as a title track [well, closest to the album title] threw me off. As generic as you can get, but it has its charms, strangely enough.

    /Makes me want to relisten through their catalogue./Solid, but lacking any standout.


  3. I would have liked a majority of the songs if it weren't for the vocals.

    Almost every single song had some vocal section that bugged me.

    Be it the filtered screams, the backing vocals, the verses, the choruses.... there was always something.

    Also, for some reason, there's something about the song order that throws me off.

    Not much of a review, just a general complaint, but favorite songs were probably Anemone [though it took a couple listens] and Mechanical beauty, though Eiphilia wasn't too bad.


  4. a continuation of 12012's new album.

    I actually kind of agree, though I'd have to say that I preferred 12012 more...

    Well, I guess it doesn't count much since I'm not a fan of either band though I've tried many times before... *shrugs* [if lucky, I'll find a song or two enjoyable...]

    Not getting my hopes up.


  5. the first time I ever ordered from brand-x, I didn't have to pay anything [was also my most expensive order of 15k yen +], but almost every purchase after has required me regardless of expenditure.

    so I tried CDJapan to try to save some money by going airmail I believe?, and ended up having to pay the usual amount because they charged me 2 fees, one for tax, and another for... inspection? I'm not quite sure. 150SEK +. though I haven't ordered anything this year...

    Sweden sucks :x. should definitely try Yes-Asia or whatever next time around.
