sai

Last two singles were good. I hope this won't have all these rerecordings..

I was really excited for this because I fell in love with the previews. Now let's see what I can make of this. Also I disagree with golffy aoi of Yumehito having a duck voice. You can honestly hear that Yumehito has a way better voice than Aoi. That's why the songs were so crappy. Because Aoi couldn't sing half of them. Virgin snow color -2nd season- - Just an intro, so I'm not going to give it an extremely high rating. I'll go with a 7/10. SMOKE SMILE KEEPER - This first song is better than all that old ayabie ever made. Seriously. The intro is very upbeat and makes me want to jump around. For some reason the preview that I heard doesn't fit the rest of the song. It's so random in between. It's not really bothering me, since this is just an awesome song! Yumehito's voice is really nice and enjoying. 9/10 Hi-Fi - This preview grew on me, so I think I'll rate this pretty high. This song reminds me of something I heard before, maybe a song by ZORO or something like that? Nonetheless, very good upbeat song. 8.5/10 ZENAKU NO HIGAN - This one is less good than the previous two tracks in my opinion. I wouldn't say it's bad but there's something about it that doesn't really pick my interest. It is well composed though. 7/10 YUKI FURU YORU.KIMI OMOU - Very nice! A very calm song that is better than most ballads recently released. Yumehito's voice is really warm and gives the song atmosphere. I like the piano in the background. For all songs up until now the drums have really picked my interest. Kenzo is doing a really good job here. A keeper. 8/10 temptation - I just love this! The preview was okay, but the full version is way better! This has a nice jazzy feeling to it that makes me smile. Just really good, the trumpets in the background really set a good atmosphere. 8.5/10 SHINKIROU - Somehow reminds me CUBICA[L/R]OCK by the old ayabie. That was the only song I liked by the old ayabie, so no objections there. The chorus however is very different from the rest of the song. It's not that it's disturbing, you can really hear Yumehito's singing quality in here. Why wasn't this guy the vocalist in the first place? Nice solo. I like it less than some others but still 8/10. PIERROT - I remember not being to fond of this preview, but I'll hear this out. It's a good song, but it's not my favorite on this album. Hmmm...this is growing on me throughout the song, so I'll give it a 8/10. TSUMETAI TE - Japanese oriental? Seriously? It's okay, nothing special to be honest. Decent ballad, but I've heard better. I prefer YUKI FURU. The solo is rather good though. 7/10 PARADE - The PV track. I was in love with the preview. Not much to say about this. Nice to relax too. This is a song that makes me smile and that I'll listen on my way to school. 8.5/10 STAR PLAYER - Not to fond of the preview, but that doesn't really matter now. It's a nice finisher of the album, but a bit boring. 7/10 Overall rating: 8/10 AYABIE did a great job. Now that Aoi's gone they are so much better! This is probably my favorite oshare-kei album yet. I don't really like oshare-kei so that means alot in my eyes.

Hmm.. the NIL ballads were good as well, but STACKED RUBBISH has my favorite ballad, so there. (Chizuru)

Thanks alot!

That's the worst part of being a girl I suppose...And lol we don't have teeth down there XDD First day is pretty bothering, lots of cramps in my stomach, but the day after the pain is gone. It used to be worse, so I'm taking medication against the pain now.

Lol, I don't have much bother from that, but I sometimes notice boys doing that while talking to other who are more...well, blessed.

Welcome! lynch. is awesome!

Haven't really paid attention to this topic since the first post, but I'll be checking out the samples this evening, see if it's any good. Saw the commercial though, it was okay.

I don't think the music will be worse. If it is, I'll cry. Loudly. Also, I didn't really like the A and B cover. Asagi's make up is ugly and like said above, it's like joined LJ avatars. The latest single was very good. I'm just afraid it will be bad with the bad outfits and the bad covers...

Covers: Type A Type B Type C OK I guess. Like the outfit, don't like the make-up.

LOL!

Yeah, I was talking about the "auf" thing. No wonder I always fail at German XD

Brb, studying. I'll give a more detailed review later, but to be honest, I found it to be a bit disappointing. The ballads and slow songs were plain boring, the singles were OK, but I heard them before. The only tracks I really enjoyed were 3 and 5. I'd go with 6/10

Tracklist: ＜??録曲＞ 1.「無垢??る薔薇??祈り?? (The prayer of the purified Rose) 2.「In the name of justice?? 3.「Underground road?? 4.「DAY WALKER?? 5.「翠緑??翼?? (Green Wings) 6.「月??海??誓約??

Well I think the tracklist sounds okay. Though I spotted a very obvious German language error Love in a coffin just sounds so....awkwardly wrong. I have no idea why. Credits: 7thRose

Heard the preview in that videogame trailer. Nice as always!

@iidesu. I have that same thing too, it is pretty weird.

LOL

Lol.

wow, ronluna, I've had those kind of dreams before. Multiple of them. Am I a psychic? XDDD

They never should've made a second season in the first place XD

Never really experienced it, but I do think it is real.

Might I say your leader is very very picky? XD

Wouldn't say that it will be like Alpha. I didn't like Alpha at all, but I did enjoy these singles, except for the B-sides from Stargazer. Excited for this!

I wouldn't say it's superb, it's good, that's for sure, but I recommend checking it out because there are some really cool songs on there.

I liked their first two albums as well, Hybrid Theory and Meteora are still the best for me, mostly Meteora. Minutes to Midnight was a big disappointment for me, but A Thousand Suns gave me hope again. It's nothing like what they did before, but it still amuses me. Can't believe I've listened to them from since I was 13/14
