So... thoughts on Life of Sound, anyone?
I like it. It won't be taking Destination's throne as their best album anytime soon, but I thought it was a really pleasant listen. I'm still not quite over them changing their sound so radically, but they did manage to get some good results out of it; I don't think the album really had a single bad track and the best stand-out songs (Koi no Yokan, all my life and kotodama in my case) are kind of amazing. It's too bad many songs are really forgettable, though. I hope some of them will grow on me. Also, I kind of wish so pleasure and Kokuhaku had been on the album. I've fallen in love with both of them and I think they would have brought the quality level up a bit.
It's sad to see the album performing weakly on the charts.
I wasn't really expecting any better, but it's always a bit disheartening to see an act you're fond of struggling.
