[Opinion] KAT-TUN : Break the Records -by you & for you-
So, I'm posting earlier than I thought, but that's ok. I've had a crap days and I NEEDED this. T-T Things happened... *sigh* So, the album that everyone's spazzing about!
I'm just going to play the album from beginning to end and review everything. Even the old songs.
1. DON'T U EVER STOP - Ok, everyone already knows that I love the song. Everyone also should know that I love the PV. The only issue I had with thatsong PV was some of the outfits... Kame, that purple hat and rolled up pants was DD:.
2. SADISTIC LOVE - I love their rock-ish songs. It sounds pretty KAT-TUN to me. lol I couldn't tell UNTIL NOW that they were saying "sadistic love". oops
3. RESCUE - The song that fully brought me back to KAT-TUN ♥. Or maybe it was their performance? Either way, ♥! I love the 'runnin up' part as usual. 8D And the beatboxing... although my friend kept loling at the fact that Maru introduces his beatboxing.
4. WATER DANCE - This is the one song that I haven't heard the full version for. Have the guys done a style like this? I can't remember. xD Either way, I like it.
5. ONE DROP - Lovely capitalized titles. KAT-TUN loves them, just like their name. lol jk Anyway, this is definitely like SIGNAL. Catchy, you want to strangle it at first and shake your fist at KAT-TUN for releasing sucha blah song, but then it gets stuck in your head and you slowly start to like it. woot. The PV sucked though. *cough*re-learn to lip sync, guys
6. WHITE WORLD - Maru's solo! I usually looooove his solos, but the others members' solos were so awesome that his ended up being one of the so-so ones this time around. >.> Maybe a bit slower than his last few solos, but it's still nice. He has a soft voice so it's a nice soothing song to listen to.
7. care - a;lsjkf Jin's solo (Wow, when was the last time I said that? LOL)! I'm a little sad that he might have a new solo. Well, as long as it's not overly gross I guess. ~.~ I keep going off topic. I love care and am super glad that he decided to release it. ♥~~ Please think about releasing Murasaki or Hesitate next? :D I like those two more than your more recent 'icky' songs.
8. 1582 - Kame's lovely solo*biased*~ But I really do love the song. xD And the song refuses to get out of my head! I was afraid that I'd get sick of this song after listening to it for so long, but I'm not. O-o ♥~ I guess everyone was rather surprised by this choice since Kame usually goes for the sappy songs haha. In the end, I guess the song was about Nouhime?
9. PIERROT - For once I don't dislike Koki's solo. Rare. LOL Very rock. I'm actually not sure if I like it yet (because it's still kinda weird) but at least I don't dislike it. Wait, the lyrics are mostly all in English? XDDD; I think I only caught 1/2 of it or less.
10. Hana no Mau Machi - Doesn't this song just scream Ueda the moment it starts? XD I swear, even when I first listened to it, I was like "yeah, this is definitely written by Ueda". It's a mid-tempo song and I like it. Not sure if I like it as much as his last solo though.
11. WIND - Ok, he fooled me for a moment. I was like "woah Junno, a BALLAD?" but then I realized what I was saying LOL. maybe one day... More mellow than his last solo... which is good in this case. Natsu no Basho is fun and all, but that beeping noise annoyed the HECK out of me. >.>I kept getting a headache Instead, we get piano this time! 8DDD I was a little worried for Junno since this is his first time composing something, but it fits him (and it's missing the annoying aspects of his previous solos). It reminds me a little bit of his looking con solo (the fact that it was jazzy) and I liked that one too. xD
12. Kimi Michi - aka the "un-" of this album. But once again, I think I said this before: it isn't as weird as un- so I didn't need a performance to like this song. 8D Like everyone says, Arashi probably could've sung this song. KAT-TUN always puts one or two pop-ish song in the album. =3= They never end up being my favorite but eh, if you're looking for pop-ish songs, you wouldn't really be a KAT-TUN fan. At least I generally like KAT-TUN's pop songs xP
13. Shunkashuutou - Dude, I can't spell this song. orz I only know the kanji for once pfft. The HQ version definitely sounds better. Now I'm wondering if there was just something wrong with me before, because I ALWAYS got confused with the melody. Oh LQ, you trick me. >.> I like the latter half of the song more than the first half. :P The first half is kinda eh.
14. White X'mas (album version) - Soooo what's the difference? Oh, I see. The rap... Koki, you don't need to rap in every song. orz I personally liked the song more without the rap. >.> I bought the single, so that's ok *replaces track*.sorry Koki @-@ Without the rap, it's the pretty ballad with the beautiful PV. ♥ I love the PV with the golden hobo santa so much. *-*
15. NEIRO - It's a pretty ballad, what else can I say? x3
16. MOON - Even if it's not Six Senses, at least the bonus song is really good. @-@ I'm still 'whyyyy only 1 song' but oh well. JE probably overspent on the concert. =.= A lot of people seem to like MOON (me being one of them) so I don't feel TOO bad about buying both versions. >.> The traditional opening is awesome~ And even better: traditional PLUS rock. All in all, it's worthy of being the bonus track. I love it and I'll probably abuse my repeat button.
My complaint: I KNEW IT. IT'S 1/2 LYRICS. =____= Can we like, get a proper incentive to buy both versions next time? I forgive you this time because the songs are awesome, but I knew that the pics would be 1/2 lyrics. a;slfkja;sdf The guys look nice though. Very mature looking.
Overall: Now I'm 100% sure that this is my 2nd favorite KAT-TUN album so far. 8DAnd tbh, I don't really see any album beating Best of. I'm so impatient for this album's release. x.o I want it in my hand noooooow. Before the album started leaking, I was a bit worried because THSK's The Secret Code kinda depressed me. It was like "guh, what if I hate this album too?". So I was pleasantly surprised to find that the album sounded awesome as the leaks started coming out. *______*
K, now that I flailed about the album all over again, I feel better. Going to sleep now. ♥
Buy this albuuuuuum. At some point even if you don't now.
I hope this post made sense... it's really late. @-@
