While I was a little disappointed to know that there would only be four new songs, one of which is only new to being recorded in a studio, I really must say that the four new songs are worth purchasing on their own. Besides, it's about time that DRINK IT DOWN, SHINE, and NEXUS 4 were put on one album anyway, so I don't have to get the single. (Not that I would mind having the single as well; it's just more convenient and cost-effective to get the album)

I saw these videos earlier and decided to save my comment for later. Unfortunately, the videos seem to have been made private, so I'm going to have to post this from memory.

Bye Bye is simply beautiful. Wonderful ballad, and surprisingly... very festive. Perhaps it's just me but it seems like if anything should have been released just before Christmas, it should have been this song. If the video hadn't been made private, I could probably comment more on Mirai Sekai but I remember it being equally beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.

EDIT - Found another upload on YouTube. Mirai Sekai is great, but it starts off a little too much like the L'Acoustic version of I'm so happy. =x - But IT'S FORGIVEN BECAUSE THAT BASS SOLO IN THE BRIDGE. OH MY GOSH SO BEAUTIFUL <3

The last two songs are amazing as well, and a really great throwback to their first two albums, in my opinion. The guitar playing in both Wild Flower and Shade of Season is amazing. I wish the bass were a bit more prominent as it was in the Dune and Tierra eras, but it's still played pitch-perfectly as always. Of course, the drums and vocals are also amazing. For better or for worse, you can definitely see a bit of VAMPS influence in Wild Flower. I personally find it to be a good thing as I do love VAMPS and this should hold my withdrawal for new material for a bit.

EDIT 2 - Found SoS again too. Amaazing as well!
