A well anticipated album of band who are at their peak not just in Japan but also making buzz all over the world with their tours in Europe and America. For anyone who've heard all their previous albums know they have changed or evolved a lot and their previous album was a perfect example of mainstream effect but still, though some reviews were mixed, it was a superb album. This is their 7th album overall so lets dive in and see what do they have in store for us1. 3xxxv5
An intro pretty much, having piano melodies, something really rare. A really good way to build-up for the next song with all the drums, screaming and sets out a great atmosphere for the rest of the album.
2. Take me the top
Wow, a classic generic rock song pretty much comes under their previous mainstream songs. The bridge is interesting, took me by surprise for sure but they linked it pretty well with the rest of the song. Good song, nothing special, a great way to kick off though. 7/10
3. Cry out
I straight out love this song, it has awesome drum patters, guitar riffs and great lyrical dynamics with catchy vocals pretty much a reminiscent of their older songs. 9/10
4. Suddenly
This song hit me, like it doesn't sound like them at all till the chorus hits! it has some violins here and there and punk-rock type guitar riffs. I honestly loved it, it was refreshing from their usual stuff and a great addition instead of techno related stuff. 8/10
5. Mighty Long Fall
There it is, this song grew on me the more I heard it. Off course like some fans, I was shocked cause this was way different from their usual stuff but still it is a great song. And oh that awesome bridge, I cannot wait to see this song being played live! The bridge is just epic, the dynamics are amazing and then it merges right with the rest of the song and that's not something easy to make. 8/10
6. Heartache
So after two songs completely unique and superb, the next song finally sounds like one of their slow tempo ones. It has a great build up and superb chorus, I love the vocal dynamics Taka used in this song. 8/10
7. Memories
I don't think I've ever heard Taka curse in any song so far, maybe I'm wrong here but that really took me by surprise. Filled with hard-rock guitar riffs and superb bridge, This song has so many emotions and pretty much lyrics to which everyone can relate to at some point. 9/10
8. Decision
Another one my favorite from Mighty long fall single. Superb chorus and verse filled with some violins and their classic guitar riffs. 8/10
9. Paper Planes
I pretty much froze up for the first 40 seconds or so of this song, till the chorus kicked in and somehow came back to my senses. It features Kellin from Sleeping with Sirens and her voice really suits the vocals here. It sure is a little too different than others, still it is a good addition to add more flavor to the album. 5/10
10. Good Goodbye
Another slow tempo type song done superbly with similar vocal dynamics as Heartache. The effect and dynamics the bass guitar brings in chorus of this songs is amazing, a really well arranged song. 7/10
11. One by One
After all the chaos created by Paper Planes, it was great to hear some familiar sounds. A good song filled with many hard-rock guitar riffs and awesome Taka's screams. 7/10
12. Stuck in the middle
A fast paced song, with catchy lyrics, more like their recent mainstream songs. The intro was really good. I like how they were able to make both verses sound different. 8/10
13. Fight the night
A great way to end the album, the song had a really good build up throughout as well. 7/10
Overall all : 7.5/10
A great album overall. Not really their best in my opinion as Niche Syndrome still holds on to that title. The album had many dynamics throughout with songs such as 'Mighty long fall' and 'Suddenly' having different styles, and then there was 'Paper Planes'. My favorites were definitely 'Cry out' and 'Memories'. What do you think about this album? let me know in the comments below!
