gee, this was interesting.
Merciless Cult
when i think of this song, i think of 'fluberous'. o_o; listen to the chorus, and you'll figure out why. yeh, i like this song. its very diru. some parts are catchy, some parts are mental. pretty cool. i like this album so far. o.o
C
sounds fairly similar to the first song. x.x i like the dundundun guitar bits leading up to the chorus. o.O lol. the chorus itself it pretty cool as well. one thing i've kinda figured now, is that kyo yells alot in the album. alot. and loudly.
Saku
yay. i like this song. so shoot me. -.- its mental, but some parts are kinda catchy. and there's plenty of yelling.. about 'dick men' and 'fucking off'. =D
Kodoku ni shisu, yueni kodoku
just when you think this is gonna be a nice ballad, it goes all guitary n stuff. lol. the chorus scares me a little. kyo uses lotsa different.. er.. techniques to make his voice go a bit screwy. its pretty cool. the verses are oddly catchy and quite slow-going, but still nice somehow. the talky bits scare me, but don't worry, they go away soon, and in comes more yelling.
Itoshisa ha fuhai nitsuki
i call this song 'the totchi song'. 'cause this is the biggest part toshiya's had in a song fer quite a while, lol. in the verses, its mostly just totchi's bassline and kyo. this was one of the previews diru gave fer the album on the site. its a pretty song, not completely different to other stuff they've done, but not entirely the same either. if that makes sense.
Jesus Christ R'n'R
you either love this song, or hate it. but i love it. lol. kyo sounds awesome in this song, but the chorus can get so annoying. o_o if you're in an annoyed mood, if ye know what i mean. fuck, i suck at writing reviews. anyway. yes. i like this song. the 'omnious communication' bits are just cool.
Garbage
i don't like this song. x.x wtf is going on with kyo in this song? dude. nothing much sticks out in the song. its fairly plain. and.. bleh, sounds kinda american to me.
Machiavellism
this is another one of those songs you either love or hate. i love it again. lol. the chorus is awesome, and everything's really catchy. and kyo saying, 'showtime' over and over again, is just.. super. so yup, this song rocks.
Dead Tree
omg. i freaking love this song. the beginning is very quiet, and you probably reckon its gonna be like the first verse all the way through, but then kyo goes all mental and starts yelling alot. very very loudly. it makes the microphone go distorted too. =D yay. and chorus is amazing, very catchy and very cool. good god. this song rocks. listen to it. now.
The Final
everyone likes this song. if you don't, you're either stupid, or just.. an idiot. lol. everything's cool about this song, the verses, choruses, kyo, and nothing actually annoys me about this song.
Beautiful Dirt
this is one of diru's "noise songs". o.o; doesn't sound like it has an actually melody, even though it probably does.. somewhere.. maybe. and kyo's mental in this song. oh wait, he is in every one of the songs in this album. thats right.
Spilled Milk
for some reason, i figured this was gonna be the same as the previous song. i like the intro, and the verses are fairly calm, but the bridges and choruses are pretty cool. so yeh, its okay. nothing amazing, but not really crap either.
Higeki ha mabuta wo oroshita yasashakai utsu
i hate long titles. they take ages to type. and i probably make about a million mistakes in it too. anyway, this song is kinda boring. if you know japanese, it's probably a lot more entertaining. but if you don't, its a kinda.. beh ballad that doesn't really go anywhere.
Kodou
yay! i love this song! i practically shrieked with joy when i found out diru made a video with this song. lol. the synthesizer.. keyboard.. like.. noises are really cool. the verses remind me of embryo, but the chorus is really catchy, and sing-along-ish. and there's yelling again. i like kyo's yelling these days. it's pretty awesome. w00.
Overall-
do i like or dislike this album? the first time i heard it, i didn't like it at all. but now i've listened to all the songs at least four times, and familierized (is that even a word?) with them a bit, i'm a fan of this album. it's pretty cool. it's not as good as .. kisou or gauze or anything, but i prefer kyo's voice on this album. less of a nasal-thing going on. but if you hate yelling.. don't buy this album. if you don't mind it.. get this album.
