On the new album again...

Sorry that I keep harping on the album, but all day i've been obsessing about it...peering into the albumsleeve to read the faintly-printed lyrics while riding to work in the crowded MRT...sneakily plugging in my earphones when i'm at my desk...mind drifting off to Houyoku-land during meetings...[モンスター] ringing in my mind almost the whole day...sigh........... story of my life.............

But you know... i love how songs change so much upon first listen, second listen, when you're not reading the lyrics, when you're examining the lyrics, when you concentrate on the vocals, bass, drums, guitars separately, when you concentrate on the flow of the album, when you recall the lives, when you imagine how the rest would sound like live, when you think about how the band would perform the songs live, when you think about how the songs came about...this is like one freaking paragraph already!!!!!!

Anyway. Just wanted to say that one good thing about this album is they're definitely exploring new styles and whether it fits one's cup or tea or not, I appreciate the effort that's gone into making this a well thought-out album. Seriously,.. it's not disappointing in that respect.
