M3 hype 7: Hatsuki Yura

The past years I haven't really been listening to Yura's newer CDs, because they were a little too experimental for me. There were some good CDs that I listen to a lot though, but sadly not as many as I hoped. I think since Snow/Onyx Veil or maybe Mirage Doll are the last CDs I purchased. The other CDs were not really my taste. Until Asymmetry, that was an amazing CD! Oracle and Witchcraft were pretty nice as well, but I tend to only like the Drop and Tsukagoshi songs lol. Oh and the Jazz songs were amazing as well. Since Meriole closed her blog I might pick this CD, but I ain't promising anything. The other things I've translated from Yura were Symholic stuff, so those lyrics and vibes were totally different... I'll think about it.

So moving on to the impression

"Choose with a twisted heart as you wish, with trembling hands
That is the proof to live, the future to destroy
A collection of gothic dark fantasy songs about girls who are manipulated by fate."

The XFD is quite interesting, it's not as experimental as usually. This time it's Drop that composed the intro and outro . I don't think I have heard of sioborn before, but hey track 2 is quite nice. Apparently it was used in another CD, of which I never knew it existed... I can't find mp3s of it anywhere either... so rip. I am broke maybe someday I'll buy it. Fall to the dark side is decent, a little too experimental for my taste but okay. But track 4 is a banger actually! I never heard of Ako before, but I love the good chaos going on! I think this is my favourite song of the album. Arcana 15, The Angel of Slaughter, the devil, cool song! I want to dedicate this song to a certain character in Trails in the Sky.... Track 6? Banger! Meriole once said I always liked the Drop song the most out of every CD haha, she is right though, this is almost paralleling the Ako song. I really like the fast part in chorus. The typical Drop progressions heh. Noice. I'm a bit sad there is no Tsukagoshi song, but hey, I definitely like this album!!

I'dsay for now: 4>6>2=5>3 !
