Oh my gosh... I'm not the "let's write a review-type" guy, but this CD is so bad.. Back then I kinda liked Born's music. Until Vigour. That album had some really great tracks but it also had its downhills. After Vigour.. I don't know what happened to them. I liked Blasted Animals but I felt it's just decent. (And I won't say a single word about that outfit.) The other singles weren't my cup of tea.
Now here's this mini-album...
THE STALIN: I kinda liked the preview. I had hopes but they ruined it. The refrain's catchy, I liked it. That's all.
SKIN: What the hell were they thinking? The autotune is really bad. The song itself is like Mejibray's worms to me. (I really don't like that song at all.) The solo had some melody...
DIARY: The best song on this crappy release but this doesn't make it a good song. I liked the riffs and Ryouga's singing. It sounds like it could've been on Vigour. Just an okay song but I like it.
↑HUMAN HOLE↓: It reminded me a lot of THE END (NIL intro) by the Gazette. Altough I really like the Gazette's one. The "BORN-version" is just a pointless track. 排梳ノ蝶: Nice vibes at the start. After then just noise. The melodic parts weren't bad but the whole song is just a mess.
磔: I don't wanna talk about it. Just don't...
BREAKTHROUGH: It's like two different songs. Dunno what to say. It's just bad.
I have no idea why I had hopes for this. Really... what the heck is this? Score: (For THE STALIN's refrain and for the DIARY itself.)
