Sorry guys, this is only for true fans, we who hear all changes from Missa to DSS
to start ... being a big fan of the band since its origins, I can make a very objective review,
many songs throughout the band's career did not like, but many other offset to spare.
Let's begin:
Unraveling: This song is very strange, from the beginning I liked very much, but despite being a song addictive, there are some moments that seem as connected fragments of several songs, I feel that this song though to be good,I not feel deserve to be the song that gives title to the album... 8/10
Karma: is a good remake, is as I expected, I never liked the original too... 6/10
The Bottom of The Death Valley: I love the original, and I was really desperate to hear the sound of this remake.
The first heard be really confused, did not expect so, I did not like, was quite bitter, I thought ''oh no, they ruined it T_T''
but in the third repetition, I understanding what was hearing, a slower , melancholic and powerful song, and found that melancholy of the original song, but also found a sense of sadness and fragments identical to the original but perfectly executed and masterfully composed, I love this new version, almost to the height of the version original... 10/10
Kasumi: I love the original version, in this remake encounter very few changes, and I really dont think that is better than the original, except some kyo choir in moments of rhythm guitar, not ruined yet, and still has its beauty... 8/10
Karasu: I liked a lot the original version, but was very repetitive ... this version is very faithful to the original and even could say that I like more than the original except the end instrumental / repetitive / disk-striped it very dull note... 8/10
Unknown Despair...Lost: I liked the original version, not one of the most memorable in my brain, however, this version is worth repeating many times, THIS ROCKS!!! I like the change of structure at any time you feel the essence of the original, the trouble with this song is just the beginning, the solo of acoustic guitar ... I cant just join the intro to the rest of the song... 9/10
The Final: Like everyone here, I love the original version of The Final, I appreciate that they have not changed much the tempo or the original structure, but this remake is not better than the original version.
While the synchronized guitar solo is very good, is very short and seems fitted to the force and cant enjoy enough.In the original version was heard'' Theee Finaaaaaal .... ARRRRHGGKAKJDADADJDOIAJ'' (screaming-kyo) that gave more power to the song.(LOV THIS!!)
As I read in several reviews, kyo's voice in the chorus of this remake,sounds so empty, no feelings, no desire to sing The Final ... I dont understand ... definitely dont like this remake... 5/10
Macabre: My God, the best song is in the end, and on the second disc,
is a gem, is the best remake of diru, is the most epic song since Vinushka.
Kyo returns to surprise me with 16 minutes of harmonious moments of epic, brutal and melancholy.
In this song, the melody is perfectly composed and executed, I want to mention a exepcional Toshiya, bass composition is splendid in this song, I also want to emphasize how good sounds shinya here, sounds perfectly integrated into the melody and gives a lot more beauty to the song... 10/10
The Unraveling Unplugged Ver. & The Final Unplugged Ver.: meh...it's ok. 7/10
The Unraveling Score: 9/10 <3
Apologize for the mistakes, I'm not good at English, and I also had the help of a translator
