Nice review! It's great having you on the team.
I feel like I didn't connect with this album as much as some others, but it was a well rounded work overall. I got a little bored in the middle where the songs felt uninspired and dragged somewhat (like generally "EVOKE" through "BEAST" left very little impression on me), but the opening and closing of the album was pretty memorable. "D.A.R.K", "INVADER", and "COSMOS" are my favorites. I 100% agree "INVADER" should be longer! haha. Not because it's lacking, but simply because I like it too much.
I also tend to cut lynch. a break on the visuals as they still feel pretty stylized for the genre of music they make in the major label market. Nagoya bands never really strike me as too flashy to begin with, so I think they're making it work for them when they can. But I genuinely have no idea if they consider themselves a visual band at all these days. Maybe someone else can fill me in?
