    If I were to rate them myself it would be:

    New Album > Heavy Rocks = Attention Please

    New Album was very solid, I felt. It probably kept my attention the most out of the three. Songs I enjoyed the most were "Hope," "Spoon," "Tu, la la," "Looprider," and that version of "Black Original." 9/10

    Heavy Rocks had some awesome and then some so-so songs. High points for me were "Riot Sugar," "Missing Pieces," "Czechoslovakia," "Aileron," and "Window Shopping." The rest I disliked or have yet to grow on. 8/10

    I felt meh about Attention Please when I first heard it, but I really, really like the alternate versions of "Tokyo Wonder Land," "Party Boy," and "Spoon" on there plus the title track and "See You Next Week." Also an 8/10.

    Since they had so many releases at once, I thought it would be good to talk about them all in the same thread. So, thoughts about New Album, Klatter, Attention Please, Heavy Rocks and anything else put out this year I forgot to mention . . . ?

    For the record, I haven't heard Klatter at all yet but I bought the other three on CD. New Album has managed to grow on me while Heavy Rocks and Attention Please are slowly getting there. I'm not severely disappointed by anything so far. I honestly love "poppy Boris" even though they may have written better songs. I also have learned to enjoy Wata's voice more than I have in the past.

    Will go more in-depth about what I thought here later. ^^

    With the "equipment" I have, I can only hear a huge difference in quality if 1) it is a dramatic decrease such as 60 kb or lower or 2) it is a YouTube PV/bad tape or vinyl rip. As for anything higher than that, the difference is faint, such as what Arithmetica said.

    I still feel sorry for the guy (Hizumi), even if it was his choice, yadayada - not for the fact he's selling merchandise, but because I have a good idea about where he really wants to be. But it is better than not showing up and unable to see any of his fans at all, I suppose.

    Well, hope the show goes well.

    Yeah, I did, my bad. I always get them two confused. And agreed, Rebirth was ten times more acceptable. Reborn was like the rip-off of the century what with that huge single promotion streak he went on.
