Who here's gone and listened to the FAITH sample? I'm really tempted to go listen to it but teasers really leave me hanging and with exams coming up the last thing I need at the moment with exams coming up is to be distracted.
..But... But... I really wanna know what it's like! >.<
So anybody who has heard it care to share your opinions?
I've listened! I've listened!
My thoughts:
hyde's English is definitely improving. (English lyrics are pretty damn coherent, too. Definitely would recommend reading them; listening to the album becomes a whole different experience once you've connected yourself to the message. hyde needs to publish a book of poetry, for real.)
Makes a good "live" album.
1 - JESUS CHRIST
This is one of my favorite songs off the album. Dark, ominous and tinged with a sort of hopeless desperation; a subtle rebelliousness in the face of defeat. hyde's falsetto really stands out, here.
2 - COUNTDOWN (I'll skip this one since you've probably already heard it)
3 - MADE IN HEAVEN
Not too impressed with this track. Hardrock and western-y. Lots of growling. hyde's a good growler, and if you're female it might stimulate a certain region below the waist, but I prefer it when he sings.
4 - I CAN FEEL
Another good track. I like the guitar work and synths; they set up the song's atmosphere well. Song itself is slow and sensuous. I like the last part where hyde goes "wohhh! woh~ohh! wohhh~oh~oh~", especially. Probably sounds better when you hear it...
5 - SEASON'S CALL (well, you've probably heard this, too, so...skip!)
6 - FAITH
I like the vocals on this track; more of hyde's trademark falsetto and his hitting-of-high-notes shine through. Nice guitar work. It's passionate; if you allow yourself, hyde's voice and the music can carry you away....
"Entrust my will to you~"
7 - DOLLY
Hardrock. Angry and righteous. I can see everyone headbanging to this one.
8 - PERFECT MOMENT
A drastic change from DOLLY. This is my favorite track. Melancholic and quiet; like embracing a dark fate so that some day "the sun [can be] born of night". I think my eyes watered, but that could have been my allergies.
9 - MISSION
This is a fun track and encourages the bobbing of heads and the swaying of hips. There's an acoustic guitar. The chorus also has a nice reaching-above-the-bedlam vibe to it.
10 - IT'S SAD
Chaotic, but melodic. Ends the album on a climax and leaves you wanting more...
(Not very thorough, but I hope it helped.)
EDIT: I just realized the date of your message and that you were referring to the
song FAITH, not the entire album....
Well!
