i like the review its fair you can't tell your bias,and you're not the first person since the album came out who i've heard say they liked NMP more though you explained it alot better. when lock on first came out i was super excited and i loved it then i realized i wasn't playing it anymore and couldn't figure out why.i guess it didn't really hit home with me after the excitement wore down cuz up til now i still jam out to CUW.

their solos are why i can't wait for albums.Junno's solo shocked me in a fantastic way .i loved it everything about it.the man gets more unf every year.damn it i love koki's solo i'm not even gonna try and hide it.i absolutly love ~again. step by step was literally produced just for Maru to sex up with ,that was great.Kame's was so mellow and dreamy and just so nice to hear.soldier is my fav new song and i loved one day.to me the real test is if i'll play any of these songs next month.the concerts sound like alot of fun so far too.lol did you read the one with Junno and his fans about his hair

Thanks. I really did try not to do a bias review. I dont think I did since I was sold on Maru this time. Yeah, though I do see a goo d bit of people saying they love this album, but I also notice, they are overly sold on many of the slow songs too. But I'm glad you got what I said. Yeah Lock On, is just missing something. Everyone's running around saying how much they love it and are rocking it and I'm very confused. I mean it's good, but I just can't understand what there is to be excited over. I also don't feel bad for thinking like this, since the other day while watching them perform the song on differant shows, anytime they showed any other guest they kind of had the "It's ...ok" looks and weren't into it ( ... )

yup Maru's been on roll since last year i don't even know what happenned but he's sexying up like no other and i've grown to like his voice.yeah most ppl are just loving everything about it,but i'll consider myself a bad fan if i pretend to like something when i actually don't.i never thought about watching the guest it makes sense to watch them though since they're the actual public ( ... )

I like to point out maru changed how he sings. I've been on a Shounen Club watching spree, and well he used to sing and sound like a hound dog most of the time. Being truthfil is better than being on the bandwagon. I do it also to help with the culture gap, since you know sometimes they like sounds that in western music would get you booed off stage. So it's a way to "check" if I'm being fair ( ... )

I think your review is quite frank.
But I'm really curius why do you think the Kame solo is not Kameish?
I think this is the true Kame (more or less...) I mean everyone are expect him to do dancing and something flashy and he knows it but he choose this song so I think exceptionally this is not about some flashy cheep entertainment. This is my personal opinion. anyway I really don't like his solo it's too boring for me...
I liked Junno solo but when he is singing with high voice he is jut killing my ears... The best solos for me Yuichi and Ueda(biased) solos.
Basically I liked the album but too much slow songs and smile for you is just awful it's okay if they playing with the genres but this is just too much.

I'm usually in a lj stalker mode so I kinda stalked for some good thought then found you I really like your reviews It's not the usual fandom style like they are the best, they do everthing right, and everything is just perfect ( ... )

I used to be that same way, but I got tired of the fandom making it seem like you were a bad fan if you didn't like something. I'm glad you like my review. It means something to me ( ... )

Very good review. I agree with quiet a lot of what you've said.
It's a shame that all the single songs are the fan favourites in this album and not the new songs they released for the album =/ guess if they read our thoughts, they've realise another reason why Singles sell better than Albums in Japan. I hope they release a proper rock-ish album next time and see what happens when they try and do one type of genre throughout xD I honestly think fans would be MORE than happy. We all seem to be missing their rock side lately xD But it's what got them debuted didn't it? Real Face was rock xD

Also, Why did you score ずっと 5/5? xD

Thank you. And since I see you are a Kame fan it's also nice to be getting attacked. lol ( ... )

I'm not one of those fans. Everyone has an opinion. I'd get upset if say someone said they hated 1582 but if they have reason I'd be like 'okay I accept that' haha

Haven't been in line with the lable? TBH I liked Perfect more than White and Star Rider more than BIRTH. I wish they'd done a making for Star Rider ='[

Oooo ou put 0.5/5.. On my laptop it looks like 5/5 xD Gomen gomen.

It's refreshing. It's hard to tell my friends who just got into the fandom, that something just happened and we lost all the nice Kame fans in this wave of mean Kame fans. Yeah, taste is taste...At less 1582 grew on people who didn't like it.

You have to look for it, but the guys when talking about the single, albums and songs, witll kind of give off that "We like it, but we're displease since we had to go with this instead of that." It's hard to explain, but really if you get back to the WHITE premotion, you'll defantly hear them say "We liked Perfect more." The guys really owe the sales of BIRTH to Star Rider. The minute Star Rider came out, everyone was like "OMG I Have a reason to buy this Single now." Deffantly would've been great to see a making of Start Rider. ...Speaking of...I wonder if we're ever going to get that Factor Skit Maru said he'd write?

It's fine. It happens
