Fan Club ReviewBy AKFGFAN
Release Date: 03/15/2006Price: 2913 yen My RatingSound Quality - 10/10 Length - 10/10 Transitions - 10/10 Songs - 9.1/10 Overall Score - 9.78/10! My Review of the CDFan Club is AKG’s third major album! All fans are going to fall in love with this album! In this album, AKG plays punk rock songs with sophistication. The album starts off with "Angou no Waltz" and transitions smoothly into the rock song "World Apart". The next song, "Blackout" is very similar to the original version. The pace is a tad quicker and the overall quality is crisp and clear. The next track, "Sakuragusa" is amazing! Its an edgy rock song with a very catchy melody. This song nicely transitions into "Rojiura no Usagi", "Blue Train", "Mafuyu no Dance", "Butterfly", and "Senseless". All of these songs are incredible and have that great punk feel. After "Senseless", the album quiets down a bit as it plays "Gekkou" and "Tight Rope". Both songs are slow ballads and end the album beautifully. Below are specific comments about each song. Overall though, this album is a must buy! It is incredible :D Track Listing1. Angou no Waltz - 9/10 This song starts out very slowly. Within the first minute it picks up the pace and really gets going. It repeats this process several times throughout the song, creating a very cool effect! Its a nice song and good introduction to "World Apart". 2. World Apart - 10/10 I love this song! It is very reminiscent of several songs from their "Kimitsunagi Five M" album and Gotoh sounds amazing! He really goes all out in the chorus of this song! 3. Blackout - 10/10 This song has a pace similar to "Loop and Loop". The chorus is pretty awesome and Gotoh’s voice sounds great! 4. Sakuragusa - 9/10 Another great song! I love how the guitar, bass, and drum synchronize together to create an edgy beat in parts of the song. Very creative! 5. Rojiura no Usagi - 10/10 Go Gotoh! His voice sounds incredible in the chorus of this song! This song is full of emotion and has a great rock feel! 6. Blue Train - 8/10 This song reminds me a lot of "Siren" and "Blackout". It has a laid back feel to it and also focuses a lot on the drums. Ijichi’s talents are really highlighted in this song which is great to see for a change. 7. Mafuyu no Dance - 8/10 This song is good, but not the best on the album. It has a rough beat to it created by the guitars and drums. The melody is just okay though. 8. Butterfly - 8/10 This song has a relaxing ballad feel to it for about the first two minutes. During the chorus it picks up some speed. Overall the song is really interesting because Ijichi really drives the beat with a dominant force. It creates a very unique sound to the song. 9. Senseless - 9/10 I like this song a lot! It is controlled, fast paced, and exciting to listen to. Throughout the song the emotion and speed in this song gradually increases until you get to the final chorus where everything lets loose. This song also reminds me a bit of the type of music you associate with car races. Very catchy, edgy, and powerful! 10. Gekkou - 10/10 This song is absolutely beautiful! Ijichi plays the introduction which is a excert from the song "Claire de Lune" by the composer, Debussy. The song then transitions to the guitars. Its so hard to describe this song. It has a amazing melody to it and Gotoh does a great job with the vocals. You’ll just have to listen to the sample to understand :) 11. Tight Rope - 10/10 Wow! This ballad is spectacular. The emotion that Gotoh gives the song is awesome. The instrumental part flows so beautifully too! It brings the album to the perfect close. Music SamplesWhere Can You Buy the CD?YesAsia CD Japan  |
