I got this in the post this morning, and I was quite surprised at the speed of the delivery, It was only shipped on Tuesday, only 4 days? How comes I can get a parcel from Japan quicker than I can get a letter from my parents?
I ordered the 1st press Limited edition from CDJapan, so I got this quite cool poster with it, which isnt bad, but it seems strange to me that the limited edition and the regular are the same price.
ANYWAY on the review
I like the cover art myself, theres something enigmatic about it.
Glass Skin - I REALLY do like this song a lot, it isnt their best, but i feel its a step forward, moving away from the MOAB sound towards a more mellow ballad, although i feel the bass could have been more pronounced. I like the piano riff, its a marmite thing i suppose you either love it or hate it, I really like the bridge vocals (around 3:00).
Undecided - Now this always worried and intrigued me, i was hoping that it wouldnt turn out like Hydra -666- (even though i was strangely drawn to it), again i feel that i really like this song, It has a nice structure and good acoustic work. I do wish they had left the original strumming patern in the beginning though.
AGITATED SCREAMS OF MAGGOTS -UNPLUGGED- - In my eyes (or should i say my ears), this song is an absolute abomination, WHAT THE HELL, i couldnt even listen to it all the way through even once!
Ryoujoku no Ame (Live) - I do love the original recording of this song (especially the single version) this live version feels a little gimmicky, its a faithful live production, but its nothing special.
I award this single
7.6/10 - Good start, but as for 3 and 4, theres no need, give us more NEW songs.
