The Dirty Carnival, and Other Unrelated Tales
Not a review. And I have to be really sparing because I already submitted my review to MJP. So... whenever the hell that get's up, I'll direct you all to it. But I suppose there are things that I could not say in my review that I can say here. For the hell of saying so.
I'm already a believer in "DESTINY -The Lovers-". I've already written my destiny. I'm going to find Teru-bear and pinch his cheeks. That's all I want. (by the way, I meant face cheeks, not a** cheeks, hahahaha). I just have this vision of him blushing and giggling, and it would make my life. I believe in my destiny. We will meet. Someday... Oh! And here's the other thing. I'm seriously pondering rewriting Teru-bear as Teru Bear. Or TeruBear. I can't decide. The hyphen suddenly feels awkward to me. This is such a serious dilemma!
Okay, so "GLOWING BUTTERFLY". I'm getting this weird vibe (and I've heard) that people don't really like the song because the melody changes too much. And so like, just because it's Versailles, doesn't mean we can rewrite the definition of symphonic metal. If you need to listen to a symphony or orchestral piece to understand how the song flows, you should get on that. The metal is symphonic for a reason, and expressed as such because it is what it is. I love the song. I think it's a work of art. I don't know what story it tells me yet though. I get this weird vibe of evolution as if it's about Versailles, and going through the death of Jasmine and accepting a new bassist. Since their logo is a golden butterfly of rose vines. And I remember rosen_schwert suggesting that it might be a Jasmine You tribute. It's all possible. So maybe it's about a journey. Hmm...
And "LIBIDO". I do really like the song. But I have noticed a few people feeling a bit disappointed in the guitar solo. Which I can agree with. Except I wasn't so much disappointed as "bewildered" and amused. Wasn't what I was expecting, so... I immediately felt a story with this one, especially after me and rosen_schwert 's joke about Kamijo flashing, and the exposure, and the vampireness... and then the guitar solo totally changed the direction of it. Maybe there was this girl running from a vampire with some insatiable lust for blood and flesh (as in sex, of course) and then he catches her and... makes her ride the ferris wheel with him? Or go visit the funhouse? And then after that, I was too skewed to think of an ending. I'm working on it.
ROAR!
And then Kamijo drops his pants. The end :) No seriously, I will think of an ending.
Haha, I know! He bites her neck and... ORGASM! (at least aerysa will laugh, yes?)
