Kozi - Loki n' Roll

Okay, kiddies, I promised a review, and here it is!



Cabinet - Weird stuff. It reminds me of Malice Mizer, alot, for some reason. I really like how it was done. It has this odd feeling to it.. can't describe it.


Loki n' Roll - This is definately a nice song to start with. Everything about it rocks so hard. Every time I listen to it I discover something new. I really like how Közi sings with more energy, now. There's alot of coolness to go around in this song. It makes me glad to know Kozi can rock out like that.


Babylo - I swear, this is one of my favorite songs now. I'm always getting into the unpopular songs.. dunno why. But anyway, everyone says this song is grating.. but I don't hear that. I think this is pretty much a nice listen. The filter sounds good, to me. The odd noises he makes here are just.. awesome. I listen to this one ALOT.


Que Sera Sera - This is the overrated song! Just like Innermost. I love it alot, though, just like Innermost. I wouldn't say this is the BEST song, but it's still...up there. There is some kind of beauty to this song that just.. amazes me, because usually Kozi-written songs are all.. whirly. ...Well, they were in Malice Mizer. His writing was very.. odd and sometimes it was perfect, and others really crappy. But now, his writing is awesome. ..But I digress. Anyways, I like the last few notes he sings in the song. It sounds grand!


Curious Nuance - The beginning is good to me, but after that, it gets kinda.. boring and run-of-the-mill Kozi. It's really odd how he can make really great songs, then the next can be so generic..


Who's Mind - What the heck is elevator music doing on a Kozi album?


Night Creature - Weird beginning. Weird vocals. Unlike alot of this album, this sounds very Kozi-like. While I'm not all... OMGLOVE with this song.. it's still good enough to hear once in a while.


The Eyes - This has got to be the best... or at least one of the best songs on this album. It has all the qualities of being addictive, and more. I'm happy to hear that he can still pull off this style, and add to it. It sounds cool like this. It would be fun to hop around to this song or something.


I'm Not - Abrupt ending song! This reminds me of Nil. The band. In the bad way. This song just doesn't appeal to me! I guess that's all there is to say about this song. Besides how this is a terrible song to end with.



And, lookie here! It's an album nobody seemed to like except die-hard Malice Mizer fans.. and me! I really don't see how so many elitist people hate this. It has so many things that can't be hated! I can see hating.. Kana.. or.. even Velvet Eden. But Kozi? Wow.

Siva's Two Maxi Singles/Sadie - The Trend Killer/Alice Nine - Zekkeishoku

Siva - Shita no Koku

Well, it's Siva. And it's nice. I'll cut to the chase.

Spatial Art - This sounds like what my CD player would sound like during an An Cafe album. Except for the end. The heck's with that shaker? This odd... noise thing seems to be a fetish for Siva or something.
Riot - Hi! This is good. I like the rapped vocals, and the beginning is really good. This is pretty much the good, good part. Like. THE single. Or something.
Maniac W.L. - This song would be sorta kinda boring without the cool guitar riffs. 'Specially the beginning. The chorus really saves the song, too. Other than that, this song needs some spice.

Siva - Tomo Hana Kenranki

Pain of Moment - Ugh. Intro? Meh! Skip!
Mafia - The noises again. How lame! Okay, you smoke and drink. I know. I hope you had a nice cancer stick and liver failure glass. Anyways! This song is awesome. So, that makes up for the lameness of the lame beginning. Nothing stands out, but nothing's boring either. As usual, the guitars are excellent.
Isolation. - Listenable. Very listenable. I love this song, no less than the others, despite its long/softness. So many other cool riffs, too.

So there you have it, two Siva singles. Yeah, they're BIG RELEASES, but, they're still excellent. You go, Kisaki.

Sadie - The Trend Killer

Oh my gosh, this is the BEST Sadie release ever. Kudos! Kudos! Kudos!

Enter the Killing - I dunno why, but I like this. Cool distorted beat, and whatnot.
Under the Chaos - Oh my, I noticed immediately that the metalcore/melodeath riffs are so well done. The screaming is so much.. uhh.. cooler! This song sounds like it could be two songs, if it were on like.. Dekai or something.
Psycho Culture - This song's alright. I have much love for the left guitar. I love how Mao imitated Kyo alot on this song, 'cause it's in his own Mao-like way. The drummming's nice and tight on this one, which was missing from the maxi singles. The chorus is addictive. ..Yeah.
melancholia - What's with that title anyway? Uhh.. This song's alright. FILLER ALERT. oops
Children of Despair - DO I HEAR MUDVAYNE?! No? That's Sadie? Oh. Sorry. Do I hear Dir en Grey's IIID Empire? No? Oh.. ...This song owns both of those songs though, so that's alright. The screaming and whatnot is really cool. I REALLY like the "WHOOOOOA"s in the background and whatnot.
Coldplay - First off, the band Coldplay sucks.. This song reminds me of some metalcore bands I used to like. Except uh.. better? Oh well.

So, there you have it, a great Sadie mini album! Definately worth a listen. I dunno how people can say Sadie sucks. ...Oh well, they can go listen to Gauze. Or Missa. Depending on how annoying/elitist they are. Oh, and if they're also Diru haters, I guess that doesn't apply. THOSE people can throw on some Nightmare or some other crappy band. LOL OPINION ATTACK.

Alice Nine - Zekkeishoku

I had high hopes for this album, but they were crushed on first listen. I MIGHT give it another chance. Velvet and Kowloon -blah blahnsjdchsdfn- are the only cool songs on this whole album.

Yeah. I updated. Woo. Next time I'll probably review Loki n' Roll, and D'espairsRay's recent single, and maybe something Dari related. See you then!
