Haven't done a review in a while, but this calls for it.
CD 1
01. movin' on - A catchy chorus, but rather uneventful.
Grade: B+
02. マダ上ヲ - The beginning is completely 'huh?' - like what kind of song is this? But once the violin starts, it becomes awesome. I would love to see this song in concert - with a violinist going all out in center ( Read more... )

I think in a way this album is an attempt of wanting to grow up. I'm not too familiar with J-Pop but this is something different. I'm fond of Jamie Cullum so to hear Nino's solo with piano and such, it just makes me a happy bird! Agree with you on Oh-chan's solo. I'd prefer 'Take Me Faraway' any day but then again, he has such a great voice that nothing can go wrong.
You know, me and friends have come up with the theory that if you have good voice then you don't really technical help in your song (i.e. Oh-chan's) but if your voice isn't that awesome, you just need a little more help (i.e. Jun's and Masaki's - and please dun kill me Jun and Masaki fans). Sho does need help a bit as well but then again, I'm being biased...I love the song anyway (although 'can feel this beats' is a bit unacceptable for Grammar Nazi). I think Sho is trying exploring variety of music with his solo now so it's not exactly hip hop stuff like he used to ( ... )

Well, I definitely agree with you and your friends regarding the voice help. The autotune section really helps Jun... it's the non-autotune that I dislike. Sho... he has on and off's... For me, Taboo is just.. a big off. I go 'nooooo' in my head every time I hear it. Though, it's stuck in my brain right now. Still... nooooooo. Okay, okay. Sho needs help when he sings, but doesn't need help at all when he raps/speak-sings. (That was painful to admit through the bias.) I hope ppl don't come and attack me now either... =X

"Ohno needs to star in more dramas. His drama songs are always so delish."

Have you listened to it yet? I LOVED truth as well. That song really got me into Arashi music. Believe, I've just listened to so many times, I'm kind of sick of it =X I think my favorites have to be truth, 5x10, and the A+'s I gave on this album.
Random name mentions are fun!

I've been skimming the comms for dls of that single track, but I've only seen sho's solo, ohno's solo and maybe MJ's solo. :\
kind of looking forward to aiba's and nino's, maybe I'm jinxed. HAHA

So far my favourite is Refrain. A+++++ Hahahhaha and that melodramatic kdrama plot *dies laughing* but fitting! XD
~and the best solo is Nino's XD Sho's... is... okay, I guess. Maybe we should listen to it more.. so that it grows on us, or something.. hahaha XD

Yes... I think we have to listen to Sho's more so it grows on us... but it's kind of hard to do =X
