agree
I sometimes find myself thinking that NEXT LEVEL is LOVEppears (excepting the overwhelming nostalgy) Upgraded Ver. in terms of sounding.

@Andrenekoi: Agree about the video games theme. I fact, it's being used in quite a few songs such as Dis-comunication, EnergizE, rollin', Pieces of Seven and also in fragments such as the intros of Sparkle, Load of the SHUGYO, Identity & LOVE 'n' HATE.

I just noticed something while listening to the album today. Sparkle, rollin', Identity & LOVE 'n' HATE all have a short intro that somehow isn't related to the rest of the song. And coincidence or not, these songs have the most clear and powerful messages from the entire album.

@J0nB0yH88: love the electricity idea
