1. Out Of Control
Album starts out w/ this cool track. She sings in a high pitched voice which really fits everything else.
Not much to say, but cool track.

2. Transmissions
Album has a smooth transition from track 1 to track 2, love that stuff.
This is the one song I know by Bella Lune, and I really love this song. 9/10 song imo

3. Never Where
Starts out cool for like the first minute but it doesn't pull me in really. It kinda just sounds like the same loop for half the song, this track is kinda boring and it doesn't help its 6 minutes.

4. Underwater
Starts out with pretty ocean sounds, relaxing!!
This song has a lot going on at once. Not a bad thing especially after the last track.

5. Full Moon On A Half Night
these lyrics are uh, ~deep~
yeah I don't understand s***
song sounds good

6. Silent And Still

I really love how she sings this song. Again I feel the music, her voice and the way she sings just go so great together!

7. Interlude
good!

8. Blissful Escape
wow! was not ready for the fast pace of this song. It has the same feel as the previous songs but sped up hard. legit love this track

9. Coil
Listening to this more than once it doesn't really have lasting power. average

10. Don't Walk Away
another average track

11. A Recurring Dream
pretty sounds & voice for a minute and a half

12. Moonbow
I can't tell if my standards raised a bunch the past hour or its just another average track.

Second was a pretty fun listen. I've already heard Hello Everyone, Nice To Meet You, We're Midori, so i came in expecting more of the same. more of the same is essentially what i got, but that's actually really good in this case because i LOVE that album.
for those who haven't listened to Midori before, "more of the same" is a frantic sounding combination of jazz and punk. the jazz side of the band is made up of keyboardist/pianist Hajime and bassist Iwami Keigo (who plays an upright bass), while the punk side is made up of vocalist/guitarist Goto Mariko and drummer Kozen s***. on paper, these two genres shouldn't really mesh, but Midori execute it flawlessly.
album opener "Doping☆Noise Noise Kiss" is a perfect example, switching between calm jazzy sections and messy punk freakouts, until it devolves into a small jam session towards the end.

that's essentially the formula for most songs on this album (sans the jam session part), but with a runtime of about 33 minutes, it doesn't get old and it always sounds great.
the only thing i can see turning people off this album are the vocals, which range from "cute jpop idol" to "angry japanese older sister", but i think they're great and fit perfectly with the music itself

overall i'd give it an 8/10 and recommend it highly to anyone who hasn't listened to Midori before, or people who've only checked out We're Midori like myself. definitely added to my main library.
recommended tracks: Doping☆Noise Noise Kiss because it's great and also the only one i can find on youtube

yaaa boyy you were talking about the atmosphere of this album last night w/ me, i'm not really into soul mainly because i never really touched it but i'm def. going to check out more of this :D

never really explored gothic stuff like darkwave, but it was interesting and weird enough, i'll be lookin' into bella lune a bit more, cool stuff

i can appreciate the manic and frantic style blends, so that's pretty cool

more soul music! real calm stuff, and that guy's voice is sexy and smooth as hell, great stuff

MeCHUGGAH DUNDUND DU-DUD-DUN-DUN
nice albums to all you dudes!

So once upon a time Term was like "yo nix listen to devin townsend because that's what everyone ever needs to do" or maybe it was "woof woof woof" either way, Term showed me a canadian dude (who was born in the same area i was born in!!) who was a lot of gusto, variety, and all kinds of musical tricks that keep me coming for more, and I do, because this guy has been VERY BUSY in the music industry, both in the past and present, in fact he released a new DOUBLE album a few days ago (also kicks a**) and I'm going to see this guy on the 30th of this month, so I thought it would be a good way to kick off the month with a Devin album I have yet to hear.

So right off the bat, the song Truth is the opener, hot damn it's a really cool track to open with, a nice repressed but majestic guitar riff slowly opens up the song, then you get attacked with all types of heavy riffs, choirs, high pitched nananana's and what have you, then boom, that s*** goes all drone-y with a pad and you KNOW things are pretty dramatic here, Christeen then follows, it's more of the radio rock single of the album, it's alright nothing special, but then BAM Bad Devil plays, this song is catchy as HELL. it's a SWING METAL song! if you like either jazz, metal, or just fusion of genres or just unique song in general, boom there you go, already fulfilled that on the 3rd track. War is next, the "longest" song on the record (will explain the quotes later) and it's a pretty cool prog. metal song, you get your fill of what you expect from standard progressive metal, the next song Soul Drivenis, well, very soulful, Devin's voice (which is one of the most versatile instruments in Devin's arsenal) goes really emotional here, you can enjoy this song and then out of no where, you will start to cower, this song becomes terrifying with its atmosphere right at the end, creepy as hell, this is best explained by the fact Devin found out he was bipolar and this record is a product of his realization, which this song expresses the deepest, in my opinion. Really hits you in a multitude of ways. Ants is a short, fun, psychotic song, if you were stuck in a straight jacket in a padded room, this song would be your soundtrack, played over and over again, I mean it's only 2 minutes and a second long, but that would just prove how maddening it is. Colonial Boys is special, it's like a Mr. Bungle song; it's just crazy carnival rock, fun track! Dynamics follows up, you get lots of cool stuff here, orchestral backing up the track, explosive wall of sound, dramatic stuff very much showing off like the first track, this track will pump you up! Unity at first was a let down, the same kinda cool and innocent electronic synth pattern repeating, but then it opened up to so much more, some strings came in, the drums really shined, and i appreciated the song a whole lot more, and actually proves to be a very nice and calming song, almost tugging my heart strings and telling me it's going to be ok, I feel very happy with this song, a healing tool as much as an entertainment outlet, I've said before War is the longest song, but technically Unity is, for it has about a minute of silence, if you trim off that, War takes the lead. Last song Noisy Pink Bubbles (which is a hidden track, due to Unity's silence) is a funky, uncomfortable, and a generally guilty song. Devin sing is a froggy, rapey voice, think of an uncle trying to cop a feel of a teenager or something... I need to take a shower after it, but it's all just in good fun, a good song and leaves the grody bits after the intro, so you can all take it. This album gets a 9/10
