Let me just start by saying, I think Ruki got a bit over-enthusiastic when it came to naming the songs in English (as well as with the caps lock), because frankly, some of the names are REDICULOUS. "MOB 136 BARS?" NO PLZ. But, the track names didn't turn me off completely, and seeing as I love Gazette retardedly, I figured I'd give it a listen anywayyy.

Track one:-This needs to be mentioned first- the title TOTALLY seemed ASOM Diru to me, fer shur. And, the song itself wasn't any better than the wtflameass title. Scratching + rapping + chick voice = wtf were you thinking, Ruki? The only thing that saves this I think is Ruki's retardedly fapworthy voice of deepmanseckzorz. Because that shit is hot.

like someone just kicked Ruki in the dick

Track two: Apparently, this track is already becoming infamous for the rapping. More scratching, lots of rap, lots of Engrish. This track is another LOSEFAIL and NO, from me. Though- there are some pretty hot guitar riffs.

the little like

Solo part of agony is pretty hot
][.xMurdyx.][.The Bird of the Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.][ says (8:48 PM):
but everything about the rap is TERRIBLE XD


Track three: The more I listen to this track, the more I like it, but unfortunately, Ruki's vox for most of the song just seem to rub me the wrong way. During the chorus though- it's absolutely lovely. And- the band itself, as usual, is amazing. So, this one actually gets a thumbs up, despite me not really liking it that much.

Track four: LOVELOVELOVE and FAP. Everything about this song is AMAZING, imo. Ruki's voice is way gorgeous, and the music itself is just... tight. Damn. THUMBS UP YES ILU BURIAL APPLICANT!

Track five: First song without an english title! But, in other news- BASS HOMG. As a bassist, that's what I listen to for, and it was HOT as FOOCH in this song. Reita ilu, let's reproduce and make hot bassist babies with super bassist fingers and super nose straps. AND- bass/gita solo of OH SNAP HAWT. If I was a guitarist, I would invite Uruha and Aoi to join in on this baby-making process.

Track six: This song is old-ish, does it need to be reviewed again? Well, I dig it. It's got a very different sound from FITB, and- I am content with that. Well done, Gazette.

Track seven: I wasn't expecting this at ALL when I pressed play, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. I don't mind the chick voice at all, I think it really fits in with the song. This is purdy Ruki voice + purdy acoustic guitars + nice, soft bass... Think Cassis, just replace the piano with a chick voice and you've got it! Definite gold, fer shur.

Track eight: I nearly pee'd myself laughing at the intro to this song, but it definitely gets better. Moooaaaar hot gita riffs, moaaaaar hawt vocals. A bit of random intro moments, but they don't take away from the song at all.

Track nine: I wanted to hear this song since I saw the title of it XD' Better track names, plz! Some bits have a rather.... HARDCORE tone to the guitars, the song itself is pretty crunchy, and definitely something to have a circle pit to, hah. Tis good, tis good.

Track ten: Guitar intro of GOD? Why, YES PLZ! MOAR PLZ! Because I'm sure Aoi wrote this song, I have to give him some REDICULOUS props. The song is definitely really pleasant to the ears- not heavy at all, but not about to put you to sleep either. And of course- ANOTHER GUITAR SOLO OF HAWT. Something you can pretty much always count on Gazette for.

Track eleven: Now, I know a lot of people HATED this song for the random R&B chickness, but- I like it, a lot, so deaaaaaaaaaal. I think Ruki's vocals are pretty damn awesome in it, and the breakdown is badass.

Track twelve: The beginning of the song immediately made me think of DISORDER, which I approve of, but... The rest of the song doesn't do that much for me. It seems kind of... plain, rock-ish. Kind of bland, I guess. Reita makes it all better with his hawt bass though.

The solo is GNARLY though

and there's a PHAT bass line

I guess I can't complain to much

Track thirteen:

it sounds soooo epic XD

*fap fap fap*

'Nuff said.

Track fourteen: Piano? THE END! Not what I expected at all, but it's nice, soft, and a good way to close an album. Maybe kidz will complain because there's no HARDCORE BADASS GITAAAAAA- but I happen to like pianos, so I approve <3.

Overall?

I think the CD got off to a REAAAAAAAAALLY bad start, seeing as I was not digging on the first three tracks at all, but I definitely think the guys redeemed themselves with some later tracks. Overall, I'd give this album... a so-so... Maybe 3 stars, out of five? I think they could've done better, but I couldn't be disappointed after hearing some of those songs.
