So after a little more than a year, my thoughts still remained the same. Like a couple of their previous albums, it's above average at best.
The tracks I like are:
REDO - Probably the most refreshing song in this album even though it may sound like a very generic pop rock compared to other bands. Aoi's lovely guitar lines makes me pick up a guitar.
LAST HEAVEN - I find Gazette's ballads generally pretty good. Really nice acoustics in the verse section.
LOSS - Kai's drumming really stood out in this song. I like the composition in this overall. It transitions well from the verse to that 2 parter pre-chorus & chorus. Oh those female vocals, gotta love'em.
THE STUPID TINY INSECT - I love the wacky nature of this track. There's something comedic about it while maintaining the heaviness behind it. I'm glad it was short, otherwise it would've been repetitive. Also the one Gazette song where I used to make my AMV (insert shameless self plugin).
Kuroku sunda sora to zangai to kata shi - The first 30-40 sec made think it was gonna be another random headbanging songs but thankfully, there was actually more substance here. I really like the chorus.
TO DAZZLING DARKNESS - I'm a sucker for heavy songs with serious tones to it. Ruki's voice kinda makes this underwhelming though, even the female vocals! The breakdown portion is great, it's the one section I always rewind to.
CODA - It's funny that this outro outshines everything in this album. Finally I can hear Reita's bass lines without pumping my bass volume. The acoustic lines in the last 30 sec reminds me of Sugizo's style which I really like.
If I were to give it a score, it'd be a 6/10.
