Track One - Art Drawn By Vomit
This bothered me a little when I heard it, cus it vaguely sounded rapish. However, it was just an intro, so I hoped it got better.
Track Two - Agony
...To no avail. This song sounds like a Linkin Park rip-off and really dissapointed me. It didn't sound like Gazette AT ALL and it was so heavily covered in synth Ruki didn't sound like Ruki. This song... Made me cringe. Very sad, Gazetto. Hopefully it grows on me.
Track Three - Hyena
It's Hyena. >>;
Track Four - Burial Applicant
The song I was excited for! this one didn't let me down! I really like this song, and it was nice to hear the non-radio-rip version. Ruki's vocals are beautiful and it's just a nice, dark, but hope-filled song. I really like this one. Good job, boys! <3
Track Five - Ganges ni akai bara
This was a very interesting transition. This song is very fast and almost perky. Perhaps not the best song on the album, but it's definitely fun and listening to again. If only just for the bass/guitar solos about halfway through. It sounds like a combination between 'Baretta' and 'Warm Rain and Rough Passion'.
Track Six - Regret
'nough said.
Track Seven - Calm Envy
Wow, this one's really pretty. Reminded me of a slow, melancholy version of Filth in the Beauty. It seems like it's almost a polar opposite of it. However it has the same singers from FitB, it's just closer to a ballad than a rock song. I liked this one.
Track Eight - SWALLOWTAIL ON THE DEATH VALLEY
This sounds like rock music that belongs in the late eighties, early nineties. Okay, it was weird. I'm not sure I could listen to it again. So far, this entire album is weirding me out in very bad ways. Wtf happened to you, Gazette?
Track Nine - MOB 136 BARS
Very screamy, very heavy, for Gazette at least, a lot like a cross between 'Agitated Screams of Maggots' and 'Burial Applicant.' Similar to 'Rich Excrement.' Meh, it didn't really stand out, but it was more tolerable than the previous song. Sorry, boys.
Track Ten - Gentle Lie
Sounds like Cafe, local band jammy music. Family wholesome crap. Sounds like it'd be the opening music to a family oriented drama. Definitely getting less and less impressed.
Track Eleven - Filth in the Beauty
Is it sad that I was really excited to listen to this because at least it's really good? This was a relief after the previous three songs. Thank god for Filth in the Beauty.
Track Twelve - Circle of Swindler
Not that bad. Just kinda sounded like a bunch of their other songs. I didn't mind it though. It was kinda hard, a nice transition after Filth in the Beauty. I can listen this more than once, probably. The guitars and bass rock in it.
Track Thirteen - 千鶴 (Chizuru)
Just the most fucking beautiful song on the planet. I wish they'd continued with this sound for the rest of the songs on the album. This is a gorgeous song and I will forever love it. Kudos boys. Now, produce more songs like this and we'll be good.
Track Fourteen - People Error
OMFG THIS WAS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING. Apparently Ruki composed this, and, if so, I fucking love him for it. This is so gorgeous it brings me to tears. This was one of the best songs on the album. <3
Grade ( Out of Ten ) - 4
I liked 6 out 14 songs, 3 of which I'd heard before I'd listened to the album. I was incredibly dissapointed by this album and, if they don't produce anything better after this, I may give up on them entirely. Sorry, GazettE. I can't find it in me to like the direction you're going in.
