Okay, let's get down to the review
 |
| Remilia, with all her charisma trying to look tyrant-ish |
First of all, the cover. Wow, just look at that Remilia, so strong, cruel and nightmarish, reflecting the album name itself, "暴君/Boukun", which means "Tyrant". Currently this is my favorite Undead Corporation album so far after one of their album cover of their collaboration with Unlucky Morpheus, Parallelism γ.
I think that's all for the appetizer, let's get down to the main dish; the Musics. I will review it in order from the album list.
1) What breaks the gloomy sky isn't the sunlight
vo:Akemi/朱美＆Dougen Kubota/West Village/
Original: Maiden's capriccio - Dream Battle
As always, i'm always greeted with such eargasmic music from this circle whenever i listened the first song of their albums. Although this piece doesn't really retain its original tune at first (Careful listener would've realized it sooner), the vocals backed this up; Akemi's voice is sexy as usual
2) Seven Colors
vo:朱美＆窪田道元 arr,gt:パインツリー
Original: Ghostly band - Phantom Ensemble
This is the remake of "幽し者へ", their song in their previous album. This piece is sung by Akemi instead of Merami, and it's in English instead of Japanese. I am still fascinated with Akemi's voice, but some part of the lyrics are seemed to be "forced in" into the song. Overall it's still as good as the original version.
3)Everything will freeze
vo:窪田道元 arr.gt:パインツリー lyrics:朱美 lead guitar:KOUTA
Original: Flowering Night
Oh yeah, a pure screamo song at last! The vocals are solely sung by 窪田道元/Dougen Kubota himself (Or let's call him West Village if you're not used with japanese names). This piece still retain the original music's tune clearly, which adds the plus point for this arrangement. This piece might not suit to some people's taste due to the lack of the "main" vocal.
4)Haul me up
vo:朱美＆窪田道元 arr,gt:パインツリー
Original: Strawberry Crisis!!
Wow, a PC-98 arrangement from UC! Such an unexpected song coming from this album, when i firstly thought that this will be an all-Windows 2hu arrangement. About this song in general, Akemi is the lead voice while West Village provides the scream, as usual. I can't really point out the flaw of this piece, since between Akemi's and West Village's vocals are synced as like their other songs.
5)Evil but Innocent
vo,lyrics:アルベルト・オブ・ジョイトイ(A
Original: Old Yuanxian
WOW, SEIGA'S THEME! The name of this piece reflects the blue-haired hermit herself, an evil spirit but has seemingly innocent face. Like "Everything will Freeze", this is a pure screamo song. This piece is sung by Albert of Joy Toy instead of West Village. At first i was pretty sceptical about the performance, but his vocals are very stunning in the end. I was satisfied.
6)Bloodthirsty Nightmare Lullaby
vo,lyrics:Rib:y(uhki) arr,
Original: Sepette for the Dead Princess
Ho, another guest vocalist for this album. This is a pure screamo song like the previous one. Yeah, i am a bit sceptical at first, as usual. But as the song progressed, my ears are aroused like mad. This piece reflects the album's cover greatly. The feel of a tyrant runs inside your ears..
And now, for the dessert/last piece of this album....
7)The Empress
vo:Sawaken/さわけん＆Admiral Wisteria Promontory
arr,gt:パインツリー lyrics:さわけん
Original: U.N Owen was her?
God... just... this piece is so bad. So bad that, I WANT TO THROW THIS SONG AWAY BEFORE I DIED DUE TO EARGASM ASDASDASFAS. That aside, this song is sung by a guest vocalist (?, i'm not really sure) named Sawaken from other circles. The song progressed with such majestic and nightmarish feeling, reflecting the theme's character herself, Flandre Scarlet. This piece give you the feel of getting pitted with little-to-none hope left, while encouraging you to defeat the final boss (What am i talking lol).
That's all of the arrangements of this album. There are actually 9 more arrangements but 7 of them are the instrumental version of the songs above, while 2 are the scream-off version of track 1 and 7.
For such eargasmic-filled album, i want to give it 11/10, but then some flaws from it holds me from doing so. So.. i think 9/10 is enough :>
And i must stop smiling madly while listening to this album orz
That's all for the reviews, i hope it helps.
