I put my ramblings in...there...
Spoiler:
Yeah, the first half is **** apart from Wake Me Up. How did I like those tracks when they came out? blah.
I'm at snowy kiss now, and it's still the only one I really really like so far. I didn't realise I was already at track 8. Snooze fest of a first half. Still better than Love Songs though.
Snowy Kiss is freaking awesome though btw. Oh yeah, I remember liking Sweet Scar. That reminds me of old ayu with new vocals. But not her ugly vocals thank god.
Oh, Sweet Scar also owns Virgin Road.
ooo the petal song. I was anticipating the petal song, cause I saw my twitter peoples liking it.
Oh Interesting what they've done here. Oh...Yuta...you could have kept the arrangement more interesting. He turned it into a generic song. Oh blah. Composition is fun though. Oh wth random moment. Ayu. AYU. If you don't do something epic and theatrical for this song when you perform it, I'll kill you, I swear. And all the dancers. Brains. Everywhere.
Glasses is alright. I already forgot it.
untitled...I don't like the composition. Not bad, I just don't care for it. I appreciate the things they have going on in the arrangement too, but, honestly. Meh. It'll probably be nice live though...if her dancers go away.
Gloria. I never liked that name. It just always seemed all old womany. You know, I appreciate Yuta trying to branch out and use these backing tracks that he hasn't used before, or in a while in the case of untitled, but...idk if they're really the best idea.
I mean, is this really the way they want her songs to go? All these low parts with the one main sound, and then the instant big chorus. I mean. It's just so basic, and it's happened in so many of the songs on this album.
I also hate this composition. I'm just not big on these types of comps. At least they aren't as pieced together as the mini album songs though. Okay, I'm over this song already.
...and that's the last new song.
um. 7/10. It's not bad. Probably a nice fit for Japan and whatever...is happening in her life and whatever. Good for her. Being all...uplifted and all. It does feel really heartfelt and warm, and I'm happy for that. I think people will like it a lot for that.
I won't be listening to any of it much though. I do think it's cohesive. Somehow, idk.
And they need some new ******* ****ing arrangers. So basic and generic at times.
Composition people owned this album. I just don't understand why it's so hard for them to get a nice balance as they used to. It seems like a lot of her recent albums it's like, you either get one or the other, and they just don't...mesh. It just makes the songs that much more boring and they're already medium tempo...
tasuku > Yuta though. You need to go home son.
So whatever. Best songs were Wake Me Up and Snowy Kiss for me. And the interludes. Which kinda means that it's a giant meh for me for the album.
At least it's not completely awful, which I do dread. And you guys are right. As much as I can appreciate Love Songs, the production was ****. It's much, much better here, even if I don't care for it.
