Comment:
I'm very surprised that this album is very short, or I would say that lately almost every single albums I've listened to are very short. Since I bought the limited edition, some of the tracks such as gr8 story, life love2die, 39Galaxyz, Umbilical and P!NK Masquerade are pretty much the same, that is if you have bought every of the singles. Speaking of Umbilical, I was amazed that I like the song. If you have read my Umbilical review (it's Tricolor Color review), you know that I don't like this song but I think the album version of this song is amazing. To be honest, I don't remember much about the single version because I only listened to it at most twice. So, I never thought I would say that this song is great.
Some of the songs such as Block Party MonstAr and Bushido -bushido- freaky have a mixture of hip hop and visual-kei element so I can say it's refreshing though it may sounds odd at first. Even though it sounds odd at first, I do enjoy the music because it's so refreshing and it has liven up my mood.
Song like KARMA DISCORD seems like their new experiment because I don't remember any of SuG's song this heavy. Some part of the song reminds me of Gazette's Cockroach where you feel like headbanging during that part. I'm looking forward to hear this song live because I believe that most of them will headbanging in this song during live. This is the song that I really love the most in this album. I thought it's Masato who compose this song because Masato is always the one who always compose heavy songs in SuG. Surprisingly, this song is composed by Yuji.
Kaoru is a ballad song so if you think that SuG is going all out in this album, Kaoru is like a break between the tracks. This is a very nice song too. Another song that you need to listen. Another song that you need to listen to is little lover boy because it's their typical style.
I have no idea what 16bit Hero sounds like in life love2die single, but I think this one is different than the one in life love2die single. Please correct me for this because I only bought the lmited edition for life love2die single. This song reminds me of Plastic Tree's Consent so I think this song is plain weird.
I don't know why dot.0 will be the last track in this album, but after listening to it, I think this song is the best if it puts last so this song is perfect for wrapping up the album. This song is a nice song so this is another song that you shouldn't miss.
Overall, I think there is a massive improvement in SuG because this album is absolutely better than their first album, Noiz Star. I would say this album is much more appealing to the normal audience than their first album so if you want to give SuG a try, then you should get this album. All of the tracks are amazing so this album is really worth your money.
