FANGIRL MODE FIRST
OMG URUHA AND RUKI OFFICIALLY BECOME THE HOTTEST MEN ON EARTH. okay, uru retains title, but ruki OMG OMG OMG HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT

*DIES AT EVERY FLICK URUHA DOES WITH HIS NEW MEGA SMEXY HAIR AND EVERY SIGHT OF HIS NEW GUITAR*

I CAN BARELY TYPE PROPERLY OMG
and fuck, aoi is actually so hot here i actually LOVE him!
so there, i think i love all the gazeboys now!!! WOOOOOOO

MY BROTHER WAS RIGHT - I should have just checked into hospital. *hyperventilates*
END OF FANGIRLISM

okay, time for an objective and serious review.
on my birthday, the 30second preview was released.
the 30second preview killed me. i thought the chorus was fantastic.
then i downloaded Radio Jack's preview of the intro. i was very intrigued to find out how the transition and development of the song will be like cos it is very obviously different in terms of mood/emotion, altho the style and stuff tells you it's from the same song.

so today (while i was forced to be out) the LONG PREVIEW was released (as above). sorry to ling and some other friends, my bad. my jap still has a long way to go. so it's not the full song, but a longer preview.

erm... honestly the intro (since i heard it before on RadioJack on my birthday) i thought it was awesome. i looooove it. I like the melody (but honestly, and not being biased, i don't LOVE the melody yet *leaving space cos my opinion might change as i listen to it more*). I was very attracted to the transitions too... the whispering (oh god i thought it was damn good and a good change cos i'm kind of tired of Ruki's loudspeaker voice - it's so overused) the beginning dark, heavy piano and then the sudden change to heavy guitars and stuff, and the different jumps in the verse BUT

...i was a little disappointed about the end. i thought the way the song transited into the chorus was abrupt, and... somehow it doesn't link? am i the only one that feels that way?

it's obvious that the band is trying out new stuff again - i love that attitude of theirs, always finding challenges. But this song is soooooo gazette as well. they retain originality while breaking barriers. i like. i just hope the full song will be spectacular.

however in terms of their sound, i think it has grown in terms of their skill. I think the guitars were awesome here - aoi and uruha were the main attention. Kai's drums have jumped tremendously, i love the arrangement. Ruki's vocals sound just as strong as previously.

what i think they're trying to do with this album is to find some form of coherence among themselves as each of them improves differently and how their taste and style may have changed. I feel that the song was obviously very adventurous in terms of production, but in terms of sound i think they were really trying to blend in... like as if they're thinking how to tone each other down while not losin the shine.

maybe i'll slowly grow to understand that weird transition... Well, it just shows how much previews can do. just a minute more and opinions can change. This is just my honest feelings and opinion about this song currently. I'm sure when the full song comes out i will have a totally different view and opinion about it. There's this thing about gazette's songs that previews just cannot do their songs justice. you will never know until you hear the full song.

there. this is just my honest and humble opinion. I don't play any instruments, i don't really know anything about skills etc... but i do listen to my songs carefully. and honestly i go by emotions and instinct. So this is how i feel. And i'm being rationale here, i may be a fan of theirs, but it doesn't mean i cannot take constructive criticism. I admitted i was abit disappointed at the end. so friends if you listened to the preview, feel free to tell me what you think about it.

*plays preview again to stare at Uru X Ruki*

edit: oh. i realised smth. visual kei "ruined" me. Must be people like Ruki and Saga corrupting my mind. LOL. i realised i cursed and swore much more than i used to... only on my blog posts tho. and... is it wrong. to like. want to touch them... oh shit. i think it's damn wrong. haha! but like staring and able to feel the glossy pages of the magazine with them in it is like... heaven to me. *dies* what have i become?!
