How satisfied are you with the 48-49-50th singles?

[Kacku]

I don't care about PV's, so I'll just rate the singles based on the songs and covers.

MOON/blossom: MOON was an instant hit for me, I loved it since the first time I heard it. Her voice in the beginning of the verse was a little off-putting, but the rest of the song was gorgeous, I'm a sucker for rock ballads like these.

blossom was a little bland in the beginning, but after hearing the remixes on crossroad it grew on me hugely. I don't think it's her best song ever, but it's very nice and I love it.

The only remix I liked on this single was Last Links' orchestra version. Microphone's remix was okay but nothing compared to the original, Don't look back remix sucked and I'm probably the only person who preferred meaning of Love's original version. :/ Whatever.

The covers were... blah. She looked drugged on all of them and old poutface is getting boring. The booklet shots were gorgeous though.

crossroad: I love the title song. It's so calm in the verses and gets hugely melancholic in the chorus. The arrangement is great and I love the lyrics. And singing it aloud, I've noticed it's actually more high-pitched than I originally thought, I appreciate that.

SEVEN DAYS WAR was just plain okay. I love the beginning and the first verse but the boring chorus just kills the whole song. It gets a little better in the end when guitars and whatnot enter the stage, but at that point it's already too late.

Remixes were all great. blossom's remixes were both better than the original and also helped me love it a bit more. MOON's wasn't better than the original, but still good.

The covers, however, were horrible. I dislike everything in them. Except maybe the outfit, but that thing should've been on some other single's cover.

L: Let's get the good out of the way first. The covers were the best out of these three, and though it's another comeback for pouty lips and dead eyes, I like it even if just for the face-mask she's holding.

Continuing with the good, Virgin Road is a fantastic song. Such a touching, sweeping ballad, the best song out of these singles.

And now we enter the bad. Sweet Season is awful. It's so boring it's unbelievable. Why does it have to exist?

Last Angel might be quite nice, but I can't remember anything about the song for the life of me. It's quite nice when I listen to it, but I just can't remember it afterwards. But I think it has a good chance of growing on me.

Oh yeah and there were remixes too, I guess. From what I can recall, crossroad's orchestra version sucked and SEVEN DAYS WAR's was an improvement, though not big enough to redeem the song at all.

In conclusion: I was very happy with MOON/blossom and crossroad, but sadly disappointed with L.
