So, I took some time to listen to this a few times in the last couple of days and now I can give a proper opinion.
First, I have to say that I still don't know how I feel about this album...I mean..I'm undecided. After the last 2 that imo were really good (my fav out of the 2 being DIVISION (yes, I liked it!)...), I can only say that this is the direction they should go, without that much electro-dubstep shit that was going on in TOXIC (I like it, but after a while it gets boring..), but still, this is a disappointing album from my point of view. Now, I'll try to explain why doing a track-by-track review.
MALFORMED BOX: I must say it...this is one of the best intro I've heard in years! Better than [DIPLOSOMIA], OMEGA and INFUSE INTO. I love the way it gets into the next song perfectly! So, for me this is a 8/10
INSIDE BEAST: I like this song, I like the instrumentals very much and I think that there are enough electronic sounds, I mean they didn't exaggerate this time, like most of the songs on TOXIC...anyway there is a thing I don't like of this song...the female voices! They irritate me!! >.< I thought they were done with this thing of the female vocals,but apparently they're not. Well, all in all, it's a really nice and fun song so I'd give it a 7.5/10
UNTIL IT BURNS OUT: When it started I thought it was a lynch song, but then it changes completely xD This one is really good, but it's the usual Gazette, their average, so it's just good. Nothing special. (By the way, the title reminds me of Linkin Park... LOL) 5/10
DEVOURING ONE ANOTHER: I don't really like the way it starts, but then it gets a little better...but I still don't like it that much. It's another average Gazette imo and it's nothing special. One of my least favorite on the album. 4/10
FADELESS: Say what you want, but I LOVE THIS SONG!! I don't know why, but after the dubstep shit they put out, this is a step up for Gazette! I love the instrumentals and strangely the female voices don't annoy me! In particular I like the finale, when there's the Reita-Kai duo...I love it!! And also, I like the lyrics. 9/10
REDO: This has a really nice sound that reminds me of NIL/STACKED RUBBISH-era. It sounds a bit like Ganges ni akai bara (which I really like), I like the intro and guitars in this. Here you can really hear the influence of their 2006/2007-era, their "back to the basics" they were talking about. 7.5/10
LAST HEAVEN: OMG!! This is a really well done Gazette ballad in forever! I love everything of this song! The guitars, the drums, the lyrics and the atmosphere of it! This song is perfect! And for once I can understand what Ruki is saying in English! xD anyway, for me this is the best song on the album along with FADELESS. 10/10
LOSS: This one's also really nice,but like UNTIL IT BURNS OUT, is the average Gazette song that starts melodic and then it becomes quicker and stuff. The usual Gazette...but I like the guitar in the middle of the song. 5/10
THE STUPID TINY INSECT: Ugh! another song like CLEVER MONKEY and all those stupid titles...I don't like this song, even if it reminds me of VERMIN (which is the only one I liked with an "animal title" xD). Nothing more to say. 2.5/10
IN BLOSSOM: It starts out like DELUHI, really! xD At first i thought it was Juri that was singing.Anyway it's not a bad song, but again it's the average Gazette song, maybe better than LOSS and UNTIL IT BURNS OUT. And, here again, I can understand Ruki's english *__* So, I'd give it a 6/10
鴉(Karasu): I don't like this song. It gets boring after a bit. 1/10
黒く澄んだ空と残骸と片翅(Kuroku sunda sora to zangai to katabane): Oh yeah!! Bring it drums and guitars! I love this song, but I have to say something...the drums line and the general idea of the instrumentals sounds exactly like Disasterpiece by Slipknot (check it out if you don't believe me)..only that Joey Jordison is faster. And the main riff is the same as the one in girugamesh's Volcano. 7/10
TO DAZZLING DARKNESS: My other favorite along with LAST HEAVEN and FADELESS! I absolutely love this song! It sets in the atmosphere of DIM (which I loved), but above all it reminds me of Chizuru (my favorite song by them). I don't know what else to say...it's just...perfection!! 10/10
CODA: Again, like MALFORMED BOX, best outro in years!! Even here i love the way TDD changes smoothly into CODA,but even here there's something "borrowed" from Slipknot! Check out the song "Iowa"...CODA sounds almost like the first 3 minutes of the song. But anyway, 9/10
Briefly, this is the direction the GazettE should go. This is a nice album,a bit disappointing, but still good...Well, I would say...average. 7/10
That's all! See you soon!
