Red Line - Just going to say I love the drums in this song, but everything else is kind of blah. I thought the screams were not needed at all. The screams should be replaced with a melodic vocal in my opinion. Love the little acoustic breakdown part before the last chorus. Decent song, but nothing special. 3/5 RODEO SCREAM - 100% agree. Probably a fun live song to listen to. Should have probably been a B-side on a single though. Doesn't fit the theme of the album to well in my opinion. 2.5/5 朦朧 - I love the chorus because yes even though it sounds like Different Sense, I like how he uses that "deep religious praying voice" thing that he did in Rosario's verses. I like that sound coming from him. However, this is my least favorite song on here. 2/5 Skeleton Bug - I really don't know what to make of this song. I think I hated more than I like it, but it's not a total fail. It's a very different sound for them, but it comes off bland. 3/5 for stepping out the box. daydream - Not going to lie, probably my favorite video of theirs. The song and PV fit very well together. Overall though...the song is a nice song to help you fall asleep to, but it's 2:30pm here right now so...yeah. lol. Decent. 2.5/5 声 - In comparison to "The Swim" by 12012, I can hear it, but I prefer this better actually! The guitars are more lively sounding and the talking is way more effective to me. This song is perfect. No unnecessary heavy parts or scream parts. Very relaxing song w/o being boring like daydream. 5/5. Overall: 3/5. Kind of wish they stayed a Dir en Grey clone though they still show hints at it. It's not for the fact that I don't want them to try new things, it's just the fact that their songs aren't very interesting anymore. There are bands that have more mainstream songs like this AND still make them creative sounding (AIVIE for example). At least when they were back in the day, the compositions were more creative. I'm not disappointed with this like I was with the Rosario single, but I'm not too thrilled and probably will get rid of this by the end of the month.

"Koe" definitely

Could have been better, but I still am addicted to it. Watched it like 6 times already lol.

(referring to xTripx) For me, the rapping was a huge turnoff. For instance, in Dreamcatcher, I felt literally embarrassed for the lead singer, because the rapping was so atrocious. HOWEVER, the straight-up rock sections were "ace," as you'd say! I really enjoy the chorus. So the song is half-great and half-unbelievably bad (imo!), haha. After that, I never really bothered with their other releases... But that's just me. I practically never enjoy when VK bands incorporate rap. They way they manipulate their voices to sound "tough" (i guess that's what they're going for), never works. This DIV bands seems... okay, so far? Idk, the preview's too short. The singles after Dreamcatcher were good, but not their last mini album. Their best song in my opinion was "double". Also, "Against" is good too.

LOL!!!!!!!! wow....Vivid...really?

Absolutely this. Or Ice Romancer

I agree to an extent b/c Master of Romance was amazing. good song! look forward to it

It was ok....I don't think this needs a track by track review. To be honest nothing really stood out to me. Hopefully this is just a "getting back into the swing of things" album. I look forward to new and better releases now that they are back. Miss the "Play Dolls" era.
