NEW ALBUM! name and versions published

And to think I had reason enough to dislike Yukke, he does these time delete entries.

I've got enough crap on my plate. If some kind souls want to donate these time delete craps to me when he does them, I'll accept them and what not, but after that I don't give two craps about it. XP

I don't save the actual entries, just the interesting part - the pictures. sorry D8

Pictures are more than I have right now, so make sure you keep track of those. XD

About the Sato-Banana: Oh my gods...

Okay, now that i have the album (B type) in my hands, a review on the presentation (since we already know about the music):

I'm actually a little disappointed. For starters, it's a digipack. I don't like digipacks. After i dropped one and the teeth shattered to all hell, the CD won't stay in on its own, and I can't do anything about it. Digipacks suck. Especially this one because it's so pretty and the finish is matte (I love matte finish) and they clearly put a lot of effort into it. It hurts to not like it. D: But that's personal experience/preference.
Moving on to the CDs. The main music CD is gorgeous. I don't know if they're different between the versions, but mine is bright red and looks like a gaseous planet. It's pretty nifty. The DVD on the other hand is quite plain, but with the label going around the spindle hole instead of Dead center. Nice aesthetic there.

Here's what really saddens me: The booklet. Take it out of it's not too nicely constructed sleeve pocket (this is more to do with the booklet's thickness than anything else; they had to compensate) and you see a nice cover design. Oh, look, it's the planet that's on the music CD. Open it up and you see the landscape. Kinda boring with that huge black bar taking up the entire top two-thirds. Turn the page and we see the boys. Very tiny, I might add. We've seen these pictures before, and we get two musicians to a page, which means they Really need to be tiny. Again, disappointed. But maybe there are more! *turns the page* Hey look, a track list. On a white page. And look, lyrics, on a white page. Turn the page, MORE LYRICS ON A WHITE PAGE. And it's all white pages to the very end. It's so boring and plain I'm almost surprised the font choice was pleasing. D'espairsRay's booklet for Redeemer was at least pretty. Not very well planned out, but pretty. (I say this because they came in the same box)

Overall, I'm not too impressed with the presentation of this album, from as far back as Sora to Ito's release. The music itself is great, and honestly, that's what matters the most. But in terms of visual representation (because let's face it, they're still a visual band), this is just... I feel like this is supposed to be BOLD AND IN YOUR FACE AND LOOKIT THE PURTY COLORS and not as aesthetically pleasing as they usually have been in the past.

Oh, and they do give credits to the soprano backing vocals, to those that wanted to know if it was Yukke and Miya or somebody. XP

Yeah, I saw pictures of the CD and it's package...not that great inside, but the outside, and most of all THAT CD is some of the prettiest I've ever seen from ANY band. That CD especially. It's gorgeous. ;o;

CDJapan has B type on Clearance at 10% off. D:

And Sora to Ito limited edition at 30% off, for that matter. >>;;;;

totally worth it, the show is amazing!!!!<3

really like the new album
I needed some time, 2 or 3 times of listening trough the album

but i was so shocked about the "ave maria, santa maria" stuff in sanbika...
and i think somewhere in the lyrics I read about "arche noah"...

nevertheless i quite like it all, great range, from youen, making-me-dance-and-headbang riffs as in OZ or such personal intime songs as hanabi...
