Sadie - The Bullet Storm

The Sadie guys finally come out with their new mini album. After the stinker that was A Holy Terrors, I wasn't expecting much. But.. I was actually suprised. I knew something at least sort of interesting was going to happen by the first track, obvious ballade. It's a sort of bland song. Not much actually happens here, except for the normal stuff. The verses are quiet and sung with a low voice, with the chanting and whispering and whatnot. Nothing really special. The chorus is predictable. But.. Sadie has a habit of making the first song on a mini album really generic. But, this boredom ends when Deadly Masquerade comes on. This song will be so fun live! It's definately a song made for jumping and bouncing and shouting. The chorus isn't boring, either. It's something that is actually new for them. Very impressed. However, Silent Eve was probably made to keep the fangirls from running away. I hate the generic soft song. It doesn't work for Sadie. Mao sounds like he's struggling with the notes. Can't listen the whole way through the song. ..So, I skipped to waver in darkness. I can hear the Engrish. It's so thick that I could slice it. This song isn't really my type. It doesn't go anywhere. I can't move to it. It just sits. Bye, song. Blue irony starts out like it's about to do something cool. But.. it seems like the band stopped being awesome to slow down for Mao. Sometimes I think he's not really made for the kind of music they're doing now. He can't sing in any voice other than "If Kyo was VK right now". Kinda sad. So.. this song's skipped too. ..Oops, album's over.

So, yes, this album is as I expected during the first track. Sort of interesting. It's not solid like The Suicide Machine or The Trend Killer. It's just.. there. Deadly Masquerade is good, but it isn't as cool when the other songs nearby are made of unspecified grey matter. So.. better luck next time, Sadie.
