Thoughts on GUILTY

[Kogepan_19]

So what do all of you guys think of the new tracks in the album? (maybe it's better to combine all discussion of the new songs in one thread?)

I was really excited for the song GUILTY when I first listened to the preview of it...but after listening to the full version I didn't like it as much. I feel that (miss)understood is a better album title track than GUILTY is right now. Hopefully the song can grow on me soon though. It really reminds of me "What I've Done" by Linkin' Park...haha.

Marionette is so awesome! I like how Ayu protrays her emotion effectively in the song...and I really enjoy the arrangement. It really depicts the atmosphere of the song well. Even though the Prelude to it was composed and arranged by another, it really fits.

I think MY ALL is like the staple pop song mainstream artists have in Japan...but I still love it though. It's the song with the lalalas each album has haha.

untitled ~for her~ is a nice ballad. Nothing that stands out...but a strong song overall.

The album is very cohesive overall in terms of atmosphere and mood. The interludes really does help with this...and even without the interludes the length of the album would be about what DUTY was? I'm okay with them. I think The Judgement Day would've made a great full song though...along with Mirror. The only song I'm actually not satisfied with is (d)Lma, but the singles make up for it though. Like others said afterwards...it does seem like an average album, and it could have more experimentation with it, but it's strong in general.
