I love this mini-album (album?).

Shape of love is great.

Unfortunately, Sorrows is atrocious because of the poor sound engineering. The vocals are mixed way too loud, the levels are off.. it's just a mess.

I will agree with that, Sorrows is also way too chaotic in arragment, the verses didnt match the chorus at all... I still love the Linkin park part lol

For me it would be sth like

Step by step - 5,5/10 It's a cute song, not really in my taste, but well, cute. And catchy lol but not something I want to listen to all the time

Summer diary - 7,5/10 This is REALLY oldschool and catchy. It sound kinda professional and well though from the begining to the end.

Shape of love - 4/10 it's ok I guess?

Sayonara - 5/10 generic trance-pop song. Nothing new. America and Asia have loads of that songs. I don't hate SpeXial voices though, they are very ok.

Sorrows - 5,5/10 Way too chaotic *melody etc* and loud. Love the scratchy part, why it doesn't have it more?:<

Sky high - 7,5/10 another well produced piece. Catchy and oldschool. I will not give Sky high and Summer diary higher notes because they are not really my taste though. But I apprieciate how good they sound and how catchy they are

ahem Tell all was exactly the same, except even a bigger mess lol this one at least has somewhat of a link, doesn't just blasts out like Tell all in the chorus. The original version was really chopped and made no sense to me, i still liked it though lol

i love Sorrows. I think some people who say the mixing is off need to just stop paying too much attention to the technical side and just listen to the music. Unless it blatantly pokes your ears. Which i don't think it does. *shrugs* I could give you worse examples of really obvious bad mixing lol
