Comment:
As usual, I won't write any comment related to Stargazer and Senkou because I have done that in my previous post.
Now let's start with I. If you have read Saga's blog, you know that he said along the line that the initial title for this song is actually Final Fantasy (he's such an FF nerd, and so do I). This song really does have the Final Fantasy vibe so even if he didn't change the title, the title is actually fit the song.
RUMWOLF is the typical heavy song after Final Fantasy vibe song. I love this song because it's very catchy. As for 4U, this song is neither catchy nor slow but I'm not really so hooked with this kind of song so too bad that I don't like this song. Same goes to Shinkirou and KING&QUEEN as well.
Now, this is the crucial part. If you remember what Saga said before in his blog, Entr'acte is the divider in this album. The first few songs before Entr'acte are the usual Alice Nine's style songs and the songs after Entr'acte are the songs that are totally different than their usual style but it's only meant for close Alice Nine fans. Okay, I don't really know how to portray what he said correctly so please forgive me for my lack of interpretation.
Too be honest, I prefer the songs after the Entr'acte because the songs are way much better than the early ones. In this later part of the album, I love all songs with the exception of Fuurin. According to Saga, it was Tora who composed this song and everyone said it was a boring song. Since Tora said it's a boring song, then I don't have to feel guilty to say that Fuurin is really a boring song! The song that I love the most out of this album is birth in the death because of its soothing and beautiful melody. I highly recommend all of you to listen to birth in the death. As for Gemini, I wish that the song is one full song instead of breaking it into three parts.
Overall, this album really shows us two different side of Alice Nine - the usual and the mature Alice Nine. Some people may prefer the usual Alice Nine more but to be honest, I prefer both side but more on their mature side. It's good to listen to the songs that don't really need to unleash their angst, so this is why I prefer songs after Entr'acte. This album shows a lot of improvement so if you want to rejoice Alice Nine's improvement, then you should give this album a try.
