New album 'Party Queen' out 03/21 information thread [VIII]

[TeamAyu2004]

i hope it sounds different.. i mean.. some much is missing from the studio version... its sad really.

I can't judge 'emptyness' of arragment but I can hear from LQ that is pretty boring (the music itself, it's a whoop whoop all the song with some sounds in 'I am your Party queen') but vocals and vocal melody is awesome, I LOVE BRIDGE so much I'm gonna cut this into a ringtone when HQ pops up

[Coelacanth]

Where are the backing vocals in the chorus? Are there any? I think that might be why it sounds so empty.

party queen is just an horrible song ! hope the album will be better (return road promises better

[JackieRos]

the live version sounded ok but I'm not liking the studio version.
Ah well.

can't wait to hear nanana and shake it.

Party queen gives me a eerie haunted like feeling. It's not that super happy as I thought it would have been. At CDL it sounded so happy but in the studio ver. (the radio rip) they sound really weird... (I'm not even exaggerating or something). And the laughing at the end. Creepy! Like they're laughing AT someone, scary. :/

Return Road however, has gotten me all excited for this album. Just the 10 seconds are so superb, I love it. No stupid cute song but a tough song. I really like the direction this album is going to. (Can't wait to see the PV)

I know that the HQ rip will be different. But it'll most likely present itself in the usual, more emphasis on high hitting/low areas...and maybe those back up vocals people were talking about.

I don't think my personal opinion will change that much. I have a very good feel for the melody and overall tone. It's not like we were leaked something that was full of static and stuff.

We were leaked something...fairly decent compared to other leaks Even if instruments get cut out. I doubt something is going to come in and just change the whole song up. But who knows.

[RayJason]

^ "I doubt something is going to come in and just change the whole song up" I hope the album has a "Party queen -sad ver.-" and "Party queen -happy ver-". It would make sense in a way? right? right!?

[emi♡]

I guess. But I'd be more pissed that she used up a slot on an album that could have been used for a new song.

Ayu fans are never happy.

[bluegie]

I'm surprised that I like the studio version, as I didn't like the live at all.
The song does sound sad tho somehow. I feel the emptiness as well, and this isn't the feeling I would expect from this song.

[happiholic★]

I think that emptiness everyone is feeling is the lack of bass I think I would like this song more if it had that.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I think you need to listen to the live and then to the radio... they sound different... and not in a good way.

From the live I was expecting something... and I don't know... they sound so different to my ears

Honestly, they all sound the same to me. Bad. And I don't think that the HQ version is going to change my mind. If it does I will admit it, I don't care. But, right now my feelings are not good. The song just sounds cheap to me.

[pepper]

^ kinda agree. It won't be diffrent. It may change opinion based on quality (HQ can be rougher (because of clear sound) or opposite - it may sound a little more polished) but I don't really think it will sound THAT diffrent in HQ

[Coelacanth]

LQ rips can definitely hide the bass. But yeah, I don't think a HQ rip is going to change people's minds about the song too much.

[RayJason]

But we also had the bra commercial, and it seemed to be in higher quality, but it still seemed to lack bass? And I agree, it's not like the hq version will completely change people their minds.

[truehappiness]

I think people who hated the song the moment they heard it aren't going to care for a higher quality rip.

However, people who aren't sure because of how 'cheap' the song sounds or how the song sounds empty may change the way they feel about it.

[Coelacanth]

I think we're just so used to her pop songs having harmonies and backing vocals in the chorus... EnergizE, STEP you, rollin'... all "thick" choruses.

Yet the part leading up the chorus seems to have harmony vocals... wtf was the arranger thinking?

[LEOyumi]

The live version of PQ was pretty bad imo, but the studio version was waaaay much better. I can't wait to listen to it in HQ!
