thanks for the translation of seventh heaven
Personally I liked more shine than seventh heaven. And I liked much more awake than smile. Though I agree it's not best l'arc. In my opinion their best time was the time around Ark/Ray and Real. And their previous albums were awesome too. Before Smile I liked 98% of each album jajajaXPPPP[[what I mean is this:: Dune, I like all the songs in it ((one more than others, but you get my point)); Tierra, all but Inner core and hitomi no utsuro mono ((though it has beautiful lyrics)); Heavenly, all the ones I've listened, I haven't listened Garasu dama and shizuka no umi de =_=u; True, absoultly all the songs!; Heart all but Loreley; Ark I just don't like larva; Ray, l'heure and shinshoku~lose control~; Real, get out from the shell, besides that I like them all too^^.]]--->see?XPPPPPPPPPPPP
Well, that's my very-very-very-very-very short opinion on each albumXPP.
Anyway, then now there are songs I have mixed feelings.
An example is ready steady go. It's not one of my favorites l'arc's songs, but I don't hate it either... but then, when I see them playing it live I just can't help to love it! The same happens with killing me. I love the way they sound when they play them in concerts, even though they aren't my favorites songs...I think I've read an interview somewhere in which they said that it was what they were thinking or trying when they did smile, made songs to be played live. I think I read that somewhere...or maybe I'm just imagine things... it's the old ageXPPPP don't pay attention to me
Whatever...that's just my opinion... Oh, and I don't think l'arc en ciel is "darker" now...or at least I can't use the word "darker" to describe them... I can use it with dir en grey, duh^_^U....but larc...mmm...naaah
