sai

Yes that's correct, D left avex themselves, but what I meant was that when they were still on avex, they had so many releases in a short period of time that it wasn't even funny anymore. Luckily with D it wasn't a big dilemma since they kept delivering good material, but for Nightmare I'm a bit worried.

6/10 kind of scary lol

New song! Awesome!

So after the first listen I wasn't really impressed, but I'll give this album another spin and see what my review is. starting over's The first thing I noticed at the beginning of listening to this album was the vocals. It took me a great deal of willpower to go through it. It's not that he's a bad vocalist, it's just his way of singing that doesn't really do it for me. The first song was heavy and upbeat, something I quite like, but the vocals and its melody kind of ruins it. The chorus is way too weak for the rest of the song. It's like one of those vistlip songs that is boring and you hate it merely for the fact that they can do so much better. 5.5/10 絶望クリエイター Once again heavier riffs, but with a more interesting concept this time. The typical 'screams' are in it as well (VK stereotype? I say so), you know, the ones that actually don't add anything to the song. The chorus is better than in the previous track and that lead guitar is amazing, but it just doesn't stick with me like it should. It's clear this band has potential, but for the sake of it I hope they'll show it more on the rest of this album. 6.5/10 U –s me h- Another song that reminds me a lot of vistlip. It's like up until now this is made up of songs vistlip didn't want and gave to UNiTE instead. I keep reading "U smell" by the way, blame Maiku for that one. Anyway, it's an okay song but it doesn't stand out, I just don't like it. Why I don't like it I don't know, but then again, I never really liked anything what the members did in previous bands. 6/10 ユキノシタ A fast paced song that is pretty cool at the beginning, but just when the chorus starts they should've added some sort of accoustic Spanish like sound. That would've saved the song and made it extra epic, but now it's just bland and something that has been done so many times before. It doesn't stick with me and won't even qualify for background music. 5/10 提案 Cool guitars and nice sounding intro, that really flow with the vocals and the image of this sound. I actually thought we would have a song I would really like and that would be better than everything I heard on this album so far. And once again I was disappointed. Everything the song builds up is destroyed with this dreamy chibikawaiidesumoe chorus and just ruins the entire song. It's nice they want to try, but geez guys, this is the 4th time in a row you do it. 6/10 ミドルノート What the hell is this I don't even...I'm not giving a full review on this, I don't even like it enough to fnish it. Come on, I had to sit through it one time, that's enough. 4.5/10 walpurgis This starts off really really nice, just my type of song. Some cool heavy song that actually doesn't have a crappy chorus that ruins it. I don't have much more to say about it, I kind of like it. 7.5/10 BadRequest Upbeat song with some happy happy joy joy synths, but strangely enough this is the first time they actually fit. It's starting to go into the direction I was hoping it to take. The other tracks might have something promising after all. 7.5/10 world wide wish Another more boring regular song. It doesn't go where I would have liked it to go, so it leaves me unsatisfied. Remembering it is kind of hard for me as well, since there's nothing in here what stood outs specifically. 6/10 答え無いコトバ Me likey! It's one of the better songs on this album. The instrumental is nice and calm and the vocals fit very nicely. This is up until the best song on the entire album for me. 8/10 Eniver It started off nice, but the pace of the chorus doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the rest of the song, which is quite a bummer. I would've expected something more. I love the guitar effects they did in this one though. 6.5/10 I'll review the bonus tracks later, gotta go to bed now.

I heard the album but on a first sound I thought it sounded kind of...boring. I'll give it another chance though

ShadyVox - Stronger From BBT Abridged

Thanks for the thread Maiku, you make the best <3

They were just trying to fool us, but now the avex syndrome is starting to show. MONEY WHORING THE SHIT OUT OF OUR ARTISTS. First D, now Nightmare.

I agree with Maiku but I must say they really exceeded my expections with Utsukishiki Redrum, I don't know what that was supposed to mean but it was fucking awesome.

This. The ballads in the middle sound kind of promising, but for the rest I've heard it before, especially from BORN. We'll see what comes out of this.

Correct!

^ LOL FOREVER Super Junior - No Other

Beautiful thread Maiku! <3

Usually the single is released about 2 - 3 months after the anime starts airing, so that would be around March/April

I will give a track by track review later when I have more time, but on first impression this album was pretty good. Unlike some other people, I really liked their recent singles, so I was really excited for the album. All songs are nice, Element is a little boring perhaps, but Room 1145 is incredibly epic and their remake of Akatsuki was really nice as well. There were plenty of things going on in this album. I was kind of disappointed that there were no ballads, but songs like Polaris make up for that wholy. I'd have to give it a 8/10. Why not more? Experimentation. I've seen and heard this kind of stuff from DuelJewel for a while now. They played it safe with this and I would love to see them out of their comfort zone and try something new. It will be rather difficult since all members compose for the band (so taking on a new composer ain't gonna work) but I suggest that we'll put whoever wrote Room 1145 on the songs from now on.

^ I thought that as well. Man Maiku you'd better hope the PSC president doesn't have a rifle.

No high hopes to be quite honest...

Haha I love number 12 xD

Thinking about it, God Palace -Method of Inheritence- would be badass as well. A ten minute tribute.

^ HAHA The Da Vinci code is true! Anyway, instead of severly punishing all companies they should do something that could help stimulate economics and would people feel more safe so they'll start spending again. How, I haven't figured out yet.

And then I read Champ's post. Damnit.
