LJ eats stuff.
LJ somehow spontaneously ate one of my icons and gave me someone else's. Has anyone else had that happen? Oh well, delete, upload another. click.
Here's another one of my music blurbage posts (I probably need to stalk new artists):
Utada's 'This Is The One' album's tracks all blur together into an R&B musical pop angsty mess. 'chemistry like apple and cinnamon'...'sex was so good, and the talk was so smooth...'taking my money back'...'did I turn you on'---The album is trying way too hard to make her sexy. I always thought she appeared like a more intelligent music artist who wrote exotic, fantastical songs as well as thoughtful lyrics (based on what translations I ran across). While this album is polished, it's also boring and sounds like any other half-arsed American R&B artist.
Hyde's Hyde Best album is full of his solo songs; good, likable stuff if you like jrock. I wish he could belt out english as smoothly as Utada. The one new-ish song on the album is the english version of Glamorous Sky which was originally sung by Mika Nakashima. It takes a bit of effort to understand what he is singing, but hey, fans will love it anyway. Even though his solo songs are better (with less engrish most of the time) than his VAMPS work, I'll be interested in what cities VAMPS will hit in the USA. East Coast, please.
Judy and Mary's 15th Anniversary Tribute album features other artists covering fan-favorite JAM songs. They have some fun songs, and while I initially thought it might be nice to hear different variations of the songs, it's not that refreshing. There are a few that make me rush to click online and hear the original...like Puffy's Motto or Ai Otsuka's Lover Soul...blech.
Amused by Gackt's latest album, Slo-Pachinko Gladiator Evolution Soundtrack. Apparently, he made a pachinko game, and his music is the bgm. The album is just full of his old music - gladiator special edition style. I didn't think any of them varied too much from the original, so good stuff if you are a fan.
