i've got this cd. i personally like yukki's solo work, but i must say that this is my favorite album from acid android to date.
this one is more melodic and he is singing more than growling. for those who only know his P'UNK~en~CIEL persona, there is very little resemblance. as for the music, it is up there with the best of his solo tunes, like amniotic/FAULTS, Hallucination or Purification. you could compare them easily to Cradle, New World, DID and so on.
lyrically, there are only 2 full Japanese songs, the rest are in Yukki-english as usual. which isn't all that incorrect, if i were to start sniping about such things...which i won't.
i usually get a kick out of some of his lyrical concepts. there is one song entitled "
i.w.o.m.f.p.p just an android"
"i don't know if i told you about it
a switch on my back you can't touch it
unable to remember
do you know?
a switch on my back somewhere
i need to figure out where it is
i was only made for private pleasure
just an android"
lol, i love that one!! my faves are the 2 most melodic, "a moon tonight" and the all Japanese lyric "a lull in the wind". since Purification had "A Lull In the Rain", i wonder where the lull will be next. ...i kid. it is a seriously lovely song.
sorry Icey! you've seen this at my lj pretty much. Yukihiro gets so little attention, i just had to comment. ^_^)AA
