Started listening to it right now. So far so good, I'm loving Human-clad monster. I'll come back later and write a proper review, if I'm not feeling too lazy.
EDIT: So, after giving this album a listen, it's safe to say that I've actually enjoyed it. MIRROR's my favorite D'espairsRay album, so it's still number 1 for me. I don't know if MONSTERS manages to surpass REDEEMER though, I guess time will tell. REDEEMER took a while to grow on me, and I'm betting that MONSTERS will too. For now, REDEEMER = MONSTERS.
I'm not doing a full review because it's pretty late and I'm feeling as lazy as ever, but it's basically like this:
Human-clad monster: Decent song. It didn't catch my attention as much as I thought it would though. For now, I'll give it a 6/10.
DEATH POINT: One of the best songs off the album. It's a good and catchy song. I give it a 7.5/10.
13 -thirteen-: I didn't like it much at first listen, but I'm hoping it'll grow on me later. I'll give it a 5.5/10 for now.
LOVE IS DEAD: To be honest, I didn't like this song at all when the single was released, but it's grown on me a lot, so along with DEATH POINT, I think it's one of the highlights of MONSTERS. 8/10.
Devil's Parade: Not really that memorable, so I don't even remember what it sounds like right now. I think it could be better though. 5.5/10.
Dope: Nothing much to say about this one, just that it's a pretty good track. 6/10.
Falling: I think that this one is THE BEST on the whole album. I've only listened to it once but somehow it caught my attention like no other song. I'll be giving it a 9/10. If it does grow on me later, it'll be one of my favorite D'espairsRay songs.
Progress: Like Devil's Parade, it's not a really memorable song that sticks easily. I remember that I did like how it sounded though, so a 6.5/10.
FINAL CALL: Like LOVE IS DEAD, I disliked it when the single was first released, but somehow it's grown on me now. 8/10.
Abyss: Unique and beautiful song. I think it'll become a favorite of mine in the future, since it's a perfect closing track and it has the right atmosphere. I'll give it a 8.5/10.
