^ I love EIGHT too!
My favorite tracks beside the single tracks are Boku ga Egaiteta Boku, Special and Hand in Hand. Everytime I listen to Boku ga Egaiteta Boku I feel like sing along XD
ZENTA is an awesome songwriter IMO Both Meramera, Timeless, and now this Boku ga Egaiteta Boku sound great to me.
I think this album is easy listening compared to their previous works. Yes I agree it doesn't have any special song that sounds better far than another, all songs are same enjoyable for me and I can listen them again and again.
The only thing that quite disappointed me was they choose Everything will be alright to be included in this album. I personally prefer Piledriver or HARUKA.
On another forums, some people also got various comments on EIGHT.. There's some who love this so much and another didn't. I think it's not a big problem, everyone has their own taste of music
I'm waiting for my copy to be arrived.. Maybe next week since I ordered from mumo and it's pretty complicated journey: mumo send to my friend's friend who lives in Jpn, my friend's friend send to my friend, then he send it to me LOL
By the way, EIGHT got #2 at Oricon on its first day sales. Now it dropped to #6. I hope it will stay in Top 10.
