Double churn out arrange session powered by the azure guy? STOP THE PRESSES I don't even know where to start. It's good and beautiful that we've come to bring these day upon day for your wall of text devouring delights, but this one's off the flipping hook. Let's see where this shit goes. I couldn't get over drifting off my C77 resurgence without shooting up some Thousand Leaves. I almost forgot. No, actually didn't. I'm a liar. I got my hands on Blind Night Sorrow several days ago but it didn't appeal to me in a particular way... Maybe I was expecting a little more than I should? Like, fanboy syndrome? But only half of it? I don't know. Fortunately though, I overgrew it and started to get into the vibe. That is another iffy problem of mine, that I dig so much fucking flak I sometimes have an hard time going from a certain style to others and make decent analysis that is not immediate "ewww go away". Moving on, I dug up something pleasant to my ears out of it. Happens so that the tough part to jump around was the amateur vocals. I hold no mid grounds when talking of authors, you should know. So bear with me. I'm up for an improvement, but optimally, just leave off the whole vocals alone. It's incredibly annoying when they get in the way of amazing material like Imperfect Woman. Damn I mad mad mode off We kick it off with the most enigmatic twosome of the Touhou world, or should I say, of the outside of Touhou? Renko and Maribel have always called to me in a special way, and while neither of them is my favorite Touhou, I enjoy them a lot. Maybe that's because I can sort of more 'identify' with them rather than drool over them, and I think that's the real charm they hold. After all, we're all into this Touhou quest now, aren't we? I dare you to tell me you don't find anything new about Touhou everyday, that's just simple paffoonery. ZUN's gifted us with such a terrific world to explore it's unbelievable. There's no way to keep up with everything, although as I said, that's part of the charm. Also, Renko's top hat is pretty damn kinky, so that makes the other half of the coin. Ghostly Field Club's favorite track of yours truly, Mary the Magician. It's such a an amazing song god damn, so ethereal! It definitely embraces the feeling of never-ending journey and discovery, don't you think? Thousand Leaves made good justice to it. And while the original is arguably more dreamy, this one manages to carry over the epic feeling too. Maybe it's because Thousand Leaves do more of a remix rather than an arrange, which sometimes is better on its own, no need to go smacking up twists and turns here and there if the original delivers already! The time is ripe for some meido. And so, we're gifted with Imperfect Woman. Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood vs. Flowering Night seems to be always pertinent in these moments. Surely and granted, let's be honest, Flowering Night is much more memorable, catchy and entrancing, but it's also really, really easy to tire out. I know this because I've whored it already so much I can't BEAR listening to it anymore, even though it's simply like that, fucking brilliant! Oh well. Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood is my refugee for some maid loving here. I don't like the original tune, but they always nail it off pretty nicely in the arranges, as shown by Thousand Leaves. Really, brutal crunchy vibes to this one. The only little issue is the vocals but hey, you'll grow into them, believe me. They're really likeable once you get it. It's just an acquired taste for me. Granted, these new vocals are far better than their last albums, so props to them! Maybe the next one will shut me up. As for the first picture, I thought that was a pretty cool way to oggle our way into the song, if y'know what I mean. Cheers from Patchouli, too. I've never been a fan of Sakuya, don't ask why. I guess I'm not into the whole meido-fu fetish everyone is so fond of. Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful character, and her personality quirks are extremely well developed. There's much to be said about Sakuya-san. ZA WARUDO, indeed. I suppose my stance on her doesn't mean anything towards her popularity, fortunately. Well then, that's it for me. Barely logical stringed words galore to your demise. Geez, I'm never doing double-updates again ;__; |
