Reviews and more general catch up

Well, today started off with pretty horrible weather, but it brightened up! We may well have spring now, have to see how the rest of the week goes i suppose.
On to reviews

SADIE - MASTER OF ROMANCE (Album)

Now ive always had high expectations of these guys and they certainly have delivered on this occasion. Although some of the songs are a bit forgetable, they do grow on you, ive listened to this album a lot recently, i think i just prefer the heaviness in contrast to some of the other recent visual kei dissapointments (12012 im looking at you, thats right hang your heads in shame) but its nice to see that they havent gona all mushy on us. Highlishgts for me are probably: Scarlet, Shingan and kagerou. The intro was quite interesting, i like the idea, the quiet sort of disturbed brooding song but i think maybe could have been implemented a bit better, some DeG influence in there somewhere. Ice romancer, crimson tear and grieving the dead soul are the same as the singles, pretty cool. One thing in my opinion that this album lacks are my payment of vomiter (from crimson tear single) growls WHERE ARE THEY, they were absolutely great especially the "the reason fades away" in the chorus.
In conclusion, i think this album is a nice hard, contrast to alternative VK albums that are around, Sadie should be cherished.
8/10

BORN - Abnormal Head Machine (Album)

Ive followed this band for a while now, theyve only released a handful of singles and live only distributions, and now finally a full album, much to my delight, its a very good album; in some ways very typical and not very stand outey (hah) but very nice none the less. You styart with your typical G.D.S inspired intro, then we move onto some nice tracks most of which have a similar sound, sort of heavy and menacing, easing off for choruses, in which for some strange reason the vocalist chooses to use electronic effects on his voice sometimes, but hey it doesnt sound horrible. some of the songs: vermins cry, with hate etc have been released before but have been rerecorded with added electronic voice effects if you listen closely. But i will praise his singing capability, i very very much like it, (more than Sadie's Mao perhaps?) although some generic songs are present, a promising band none the less.
Highlights: Ruisai no hana, Tragedy and Dust pain
