And I agree with M.A.R., Revolution is going to rock live!!! I just don't understand the lyrics right yet . What does he shout? ? - ? - stop everybody? start everybody?

Okay. My two favorite tracks after giving the album a few listens (we can't include Rumble because it's still not fixed....all the Japanese commenters on iTunes are bitching about it too but iTunes responded to one of them and they're supposed to be correcting it. In my frantic search for lyrics it seems to be the main subject of many VAMPS blogs too lol)....I love Revolution. I want to hear this live or ELSE!!! I BLAST this in my car everywhere I go now. I can't stop. I don't know the first two syllables but I'm pretty sure Hyde is saying "STOMP, everybody!" And then at the end I know I hear "Rise up in Revolu~~~~tion" XD But I need lyrics. I need lyrics so badly. I can't emphasize enough how much we need to be looking out for them because I want to translate them. My second fave track is Piano Duet. If you blast that song too it's just...HEART WRENCHING. I can't fully translate it yet, but it's even sadder than Memories. I love those gut wrenching songs like that. You can hear the agony in his voice. There's something he wanted to tell the person he loves, but he never got the chance and he just wants them to know that he is grateful for the time they had together, etc...but it's so agonizing...the pain in his voice. I can see if he did this live we might get a Hyde tear like with that performance of hoshizora with L'arc that just drives me insane with grief and delight at the same time. Piano Duet and Revolution are my picks for absolute must to be included in my dream setlist.

Oh and I put a comment on Japan iTunes under the nickname "harumi-hydee" (My name in real life is pretty damn close to hyde's...that's why I put the Hydee :3) and I just wrote (crude english translation) "With this I am greatly anticipating the California live in October. America loves VAMPS too!" So that I could represent the American fan base :3

In REVOLUTION he is saying "BANG ON STOMP EVERYBODY!"

I believe all the lyrics have been printed in the BEAST tour pamphlet already, but of course I haven't received it yet...
I super want to see it so I can read the lyrics

Okay, now that I've settled down a bit and can listen to the songs for what they are, I must say I'm quite impressed. Thus far, I'm really liking this album better than the previous one. In terms of music anyway. I haven't seen any lyrics to them yet aside from MEMORIES, so my respect may go up or down upon seeing them.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the main thing I have against this album is... well... HYDE's vocals. They don't sound as great as they usually do. They still sound beautiful, but they're... well... not the vocals I fell in love with. Please tell me I'm not the only one who notices the difference?

But surprisingly, it's not enough of a setback to keep me from loving the album, or what I've heard of it so far.

EUPHORIA - The song initially turned me off because of just how weird it is. The way it changes in terms of sound and tone baffled me. It sort of reminds me of L'Arc~en~Ciel's Shinshoku -lose control-, only more metal-esque. It starts off slow but really seductive, then goes to metal, then goes to emotional hard rock. From there, the vocals become more and more intense until it becomes really growly. At first, it seemed like HYDE just didn't know what he wanted the song to be. After listening to it again (and under a more positive state of mind), you can see the effect he was going for and... it's AWESOME! Great song!

VAMP ADDICTION - I'm still against the name, because its just downright stupid and easy to confuse with LOVE ADDICT. But musically, it's really awesome! Some of you might remember I brought up a topic where I pointed out that Tetsu was wearing Sonic shoes in a certain L'Arc picture. Well, this is just further reason why VAMPS and/or L'Arc should do compositions for Sonic. It sounds A LOT like Crush40, the masterminds behind many of the soundtracks in the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Only this is better as HYDE's vocals are better than Crush40's vocalist, and K.A.Z's composition is just pure win.

REVOLUTION - Once again, this song initially turned me off because of its silly nature and scratchy vocals. In a way, it kind of reminds me of what initially turned me off with both TROUBLE and SEX BLOOD ROCK N' ROLL. The vocals aren't great and it's a lot different than what we're used to hearing from VAMPS. But listening to it again, it's really great. HYDE even said he wrote the song attempting to the feeling of TROUBLE. It's a wonderful song and something I'd love to experience live. I'm still not a fan of HYDE's vocals in this song, but the funny thing is that they don't NEED to sound good in this one. It's about having fun, not about sounding good, so it's forgivable simply because it seems like it'd be fun live.

THE PAST - This is... really interesting. I can't say I was turned off by this song upon first hearing it, but it felt weird. I guess it's because I was expecting something completely different. The funny thing about the name of a song is that it can really change your opinion on it. I don't quite know what I was expecting with a name like THE PAST, but it wasn't this. Once I got over the fact that the connotation of the name doesn't quite match the music of the song, I gave it an objective listen and it's a great song. Something I could listen to over and over again.

PIANO DUET - Oh dear lord, where do I begin?! This song is tops. Again, there's a lot of timing involved in it. When I first heard it, it put a smile on my face when I most needed it. This most certainly isn't the first time VAMPS have done this and I doubt it will be the last. That aside, it's an amazing song regardless of your mood. You can feel the heart and soul put into it. When K.A.Z said he wrote the song with the image of an adult and a child playing the piano together, I was expecting something beautiful, but not quite this beautiful. This is K.A.Z's first piano composition and it sort of shows, but that's not to say it's bad. In fact, I think there's a charm to it. It feels so simple, but there's just something about it that you have to love. The sooner someone translates and/or finds the lyrics for this, the better!

That's all I've listened to for now! The album is a must-have. It's just a shame that I also must have money to get the album, which I don't.

Check out filestube.com again... search with "Vamps Beast" ... . Hope the quality will be okay... haven't listened to it myself...

Burned it on CD and will listen to it in my car on my way back home. Revolution will be the first song I'll listen to for sure . Hope I'll arrive home safely .

I complained to iTunes Japan as well. They replied me Yesterday, can't say when the song will be fixed but will refund us the money (200 yens) in 8 days.

I friend told me RUMBLE sounds awesome: crazy, Rockabilly, with jazz touch come on iTunes...*sigh*

My fav songs at the moment: EUPHORIA, THE PAST, REVOLUTION and MY FIRST LAST

So far, I really like Get Up, Piano Duet and Memories. Vamp Addiction is pretty cool too. I'm really dissapointed in Euphoria, My First Last and The Past. They are way different than what I expected them to be. Best song so far is definitely Memories for me though. It's probably a better album than their first one, but I still feel they could do better. But overall I dig it.

They fixed Rumble and it sounds AMAZING!

There must be a scan of this pamphlet somewhere!! I remember a girl mentioning it in one of her blogs and citing part of piano duet's lyrics from it. I have to go to work now but I will try to search it later!! :x

RUMBLE is fixed, full of energy and jazzy!!!!! check the preview
