After a few listens it’s not too bad.... but it’s not mind-blowing. Maybe over time I’ll grow to love it 

[ShTon 268]

I love everything about this song.

[Yukimoto 1237]

They are all about dance music these days but I actually really like this so good job guys<3

[chemicalpictures 1888]

I have to say, this is much better than their latest efforts. Wasn't really expecting much, specially after the mess that is fix you, but this is kinda nice.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Yeah this was a really good song, I’m hyped! 

[Elazmus 1873]

Idk how I feel 100%, I really appreciate the effort for sure. Sho(u/w) should try to maintain a subdued style like the first few lines (sounded really nice), maybe I feel that his regular singing clashed a little with the rest of the song? That interlude at 2:30 though is all glory what a proud 80's synth <3

[Manji 卍 743]

Thinking about getting into this band again...

[Case 13]

I didn't care much when they restarted as A9, but actually most of the stuff they released since was quite decent and this does not sound bad either.

I'm digging the track list, kind of disappointed that Royal Blood didn't make it, but eh. I have good feelings about this one, didn't care for Ideal that much. 

[EzraEroguro 174]

Wow, fucking slay, queens. 
"UNREAL" is a certified system banger. What else they have planned for the LP, we'll see.

[johnesh 52]

I thought their last album was dreadful, but this actually sounds really good.

[platy 3018]

I came across this accidentally, never heard any Alice nine before and unravel is so! good. 

[Kathy 825]

Okay, I’ve grown to love it lol but I hope they have more of Saga’s singing on this album. I like the small parts he has in here.

After listening to it for a while, I still don’t like the album. I love UNREAL, one of the best if not the best song from them sincerely they changed to A9 IMO, but this album release reminds me of LIGHT AND DARKNESS and I didn’t like that album either, I  just like ANIMUS. It’s cool if this is the music they want to make, just not for me, and they’re my favorite band lol

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I prefer re-recordings over new music from Alice Nine. Their compositions suck these days, I don't care for anything from PLANET NINE, and IDEAL was just okay. But their sound/production/instrumentation have improved greatly, and Shou's vocals are so much better than they were in 2006 (compare the album version of jellyfish to the 2014 re-recording).

 

On the other hand, I would have preferred a different selection of songs. The only ones I'm really looking forward to here are Time Machine, Gradation, 光環 and Velvet. I'm somewhat curious about Dice, CROSS GAME, and GEMINI. The rest of the tracklist I'm not that interested in. I would have preferred that they just focus on material from 2004-2006... or to re-record everything pre-GEMINI.
