  1. Django Unchained! Definitely recommend. It's not as offensive as people make it out to be if you just realize thats how people acted back then. Once you don't take the movie too seriously, I think you'll actually find the story really good. 4.5/5 Horse gets it in the first 10 minutes so if you're an animal lover, just skip that part.


  2. For some reason, I would like this band just once to release a ballad as their single...it was kind of my gripe with OZ until they released Rain Delay. Also, like OZ, they are kind of stuck in the same sound. The main riff is different but I feel like all the chorus lines can usually be interchangeable.


  3. 01 身千切りの莟、奇しくも恍惚の桜 - Why did they put that heavier section in there? It was not really needed at all! The song was decent without it. This is my problem with 12012 currently. NOT EVERY SONG HAS TO HAVE GROWLS, GRUNTS, and/or SCREAMS! I do enjoy the ending of the song though. The piano is really nice. This song would have been near perfect w/o that heavier part. 3.5/5

     

    02 DEICIDA OF SILENCE - Terrible vocals. I rather enjoy the instrumental as parts, however, as a whole this song is TOO all over the place. Too many change ups! It's like a whole bunch of ideas thrown together and then Wataru vomited shi**y lyrics on it. PV didn't help this song either...ugh! 1.5/5

     

    03 CHABOO-CHABOO - The beginning felt really awkward, but I love all the tapping sections of this song. Once again, Wataru's voice isn't meant for these type of harsh screams. It's too intense for him to pull off and he sounds really weak. I actually enjoyed this song, but I think it still is missing something. I think the screams take away from this song. Maybe if it was like more intense yelling of the lyrics and not just screaming and growling, I could appreciate it more. 3/5

     

    04 夢喰い - Very nice intro and the screaming is limited in this song which makes me happy. The chorus is nice to hear until he tries to go for those higher notes at the end of the song. Overall, not bad. Glad they didn't go overboard being aggressive. 3/5

     

    05 DOOR TO THE SKY - Honestly, my favorite song on the album. The opening reminds me of Woe, Is Me, but that's not to bad. This is the first time Wataru's screams are actually very fitting! I love his vocals in this song. The chorus is beautiful and everything flows really nice into each other. Perfect heaviness and melody. If they can develop this even more, I think they may have something again.Should have made a PV for this instead. Minus 1/2 point for being lazy at the end of the song. 4.5/5

     

    Overall: 3/5 - This is a huge step in the right direction though they still have a lot long way to go to get back to their greatness. Honestly, they need to stop trying imitate all these hardcore western bands and just stay true to themselves. I miss their days with songs like Pistol, Heart, etc. Just really well written songs and everything wasn't about trying to sound the most hardcore. If they continue down these streak, they need to compose more songs along the lines of Door to the Sky as it mixes good harsh vocals with beautiful melody. Also, they lose points for no ballads. Like WTF? Stop being brutal for a moment and give us a nice ballad.

    DEICIDA OF SILENCE (seriously did they forget how to write songs on this!?)


  4. Madara - Uroboros definitely. I feel like that chorus part those is earlier Dir en Grey. Trying to remember what it is. Despite THIS, I LOVE THIS SONG! I feel like this is what Sadie should grow in to. The piano leads the sections and I'm in love with pianos in VK music so woot! lol. 4/5

     

    Setsugekka - In the same style of Ice Romancer, Kagerou, Rain Fall, etc. Just as catchy and just as safe. Not a bad song, but for some reason I can't get into this as much as the other similar songs they've done. I feel like its missing something. Maybe its because I'm getting tired of listening to these kinds of songs from them. 2.5/5

     

    Face 2 Face - I appreciate trying something different but I honestly felt this song was just too all over the place. Like a lot of it didn't match up to me. I felt they did too much with this song. I dunno...don't know...3/5 for unique attempts.

     

    Overall: 3/5 - I think if they could take their style they used for Madara and merge it with the style of Setsugekka, they would have a perfect sound for themselves. Face 2 Face spark my interest but what too all over the place to actually make me like the song as a whole but parts were cool. Overall, Sadie continues to hold my ears whenever they release stuff. They know how to stay just above boring so I don't get tired of them. I wish they could go back to their Master of Romance period and just update that sound BUT they aren't failing with their music right now like others...::cough:::cough:::VIVID::::cough:::


  5. Not going to lie, I LOVE THIS single! I agree 100% with Augie! This is my favorite single of theirs since Fantasy. I'm not even going into detail on the single as I enjoyed every aspect of every song here. The instrumental was just icing on the cake. I'm so happy for Alice Nine! Good job! 5/5
