抱き合いながら 堕ちていきたい
YAY lynch. has arrived.
Have given it 2 listens so far:
01. INTRODUCTION
Unnecessary, taking up space. It's not even a particularly good piano piece, and according to the liner notes, it's not composed OR performed by lynch.?! It's by some guy named "d-kiku". Who?
02. UNTIL I DIE
Catchy, uptempo, chugs along groovily and the chorus sticks in your head. Love Hazuki's voice in this one, it's got an intense but yearning quality to it. Unfortunately, the line "I'm leaving for the last time" is repeated WAY too many times and annoying because of how Engrishy it sticks out as, but this is overall radio-friendly and enjoyable. The band fits together very well on this, and it's just a very lynch. song.
03. I BELIEVE IN ME
Good stuff, still great. I can see why they picked it as the promo song, it encapsulates the album pretty well.
04. JUDGEMENT
I actually don't think I like this mix quite as much as the original single. It sounds weirdly hollow, like the instruments are all playing in different rooms, though I still love this song.
05. LIE
Kind of... like a crossover between An Illusion and I Don't Know Where I Am. Didn't immediately like it, and the staccato quality of the chorus is vaguely irritating, but I am won over by the twirly guitars going on, haha, and just the confident way it builds up. Like SCARLET, there's a bit of a nostalgic feeling to this one. Anyway, given it some thought and I think I do enjoy it.
06. -273.15oC
WHAT A BEAST. I adore this. The bit in the middle that starts with just Asanao banging away a steady chugging beat and then builds up to a bunch of interesting things, and then falls into a more typical breakdown-- and then JUST ENDS. WAH. D: Probably the best new song on here. Reminds me of DOZE.
07. THIS COMA
UGGGGGHHHH THIS SONG WON'T END. Boring and amateur. How is this lynch.? It sounds like something a terrible indies band that dresses in things from their sisters' closets would put out on their first demotape. The only person who's vaguely pulling their weight here is Asanao.
08. SCARLET
I think I like this. It has an undescribable "old school" quality to it, like it could've been on the SHADOWZ or THE BURIED albums without being too out of place. I wish they wouldn't filter Hazuki's voice like they do on this one, though.
09. ALL THIS I'LL GIVE YOU
Still good! Album mix is pretty rocking. I need to see this liiiiive.
10. TIAMAT
A bit of a hot mess. All English, though you couldn't really tell. I kind of disapprove, as it blatantly borrows too many tricks straight from commercial Western nu-metal (the breakdown is a dead giveaway). It sounds derivative but messy at the same time. Not a complete write-off, but not great.
11. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
Awww, this is so beautiful. It's slow and lovely like "prominence", but kind of, more wistful and less outright sad. Sparse and effective. I could listen to a 10-minute version of this.
12. A GLEAM IN EYE
I wasn't a huge fan of this single though I liked it, but it's a good song to end on. Solid, well-put-together, and upbeat. Album mix doesn't sound much different.
Okay well, I'll get around to translating some of these, I think. :)
