Not as interesting as the first reimport, not as bad as SUNNY.
Just plain eh. Get the vinyl now before it's too late if you're a collector, I already see it going up in price on Amazon. Here's a porn dump:

I wish she would work with Yukio Nagoshi more, Yasei no Doumei is easily her best track in ages and it reminds me quite a lot of Mellow from ZCS.
Fun fact: He arranged Yokyo from Sanmon Gossip and has also worked with Chara, ACO and UA.
Saihate ga Mitai is a treat, too. I know Bjork comparisons are tired and all, but as others have said, the arrangement is reminiscent of her rendition of Like Someone in Love.
The baby-voice vocals on Shoujo Robot are a crime and Saito Neko unsurprisingly butchered Usurahi Shinjuu and Oishii Kisetsu. Other than that, the covers don't stray drastically from their original arrangements. There's not much to say. |

Is everyone really sleeping on this album?
Perhaps this is because I never kept up with her gifted songs, but I thought this was a pretty solid release. Sure it's not as experimental or genuinely surprising as Reimport 1, but it's surely more consistent, the mastering isn't ear-bleeding, and it shows a certain care she put into the craft of creating an actual album. The Highs: Jinsei ha Yume Darake, Anya no Shinjudate, Yasei no Doumei, Saihate ga Mitai The Lows: Oishii Kisetsu, Jukinzoku Sei no Onna (the cheesy English lyrics just take me out of this one), Karei naru Gyakushuu (Also - this album cover is just badass, plain and simple) |

We were all on this album when it first dropped. Nobody missed it. Only really has 3 good tracks. The vinyl is shocking btw with multi bitrate sources LOL!

If you mean sleeping in the sense that everytime I play this album I fall asleep then yes, I am sleeping
Jinsei wa yume darake: is good for a nu-Ringo track. In a good oldschool album it would be an OK track but because it's on this album is a good track, perhaps even one of the best in the album Oishii kisetsu: bad as a whole, but the rockish interlude right before the last refrain is good, I wish the whole track was like this ó_ò Shoujo Robot: Completely butchered. This is one of my favorite tracks ever, how dare she did this with my precious shoujo robot ;o; I wish it would sound more like the JCHI version, or even the ZX version, which is heaven for me. If Shoujo robot was the main theme of a movie this is the version that would play before the plot twist, before the real best selling single/oscar nominated song has a chance to play when the orgasmatic action is going on. Anya no shinjuudate: She wanted to sound like a james bond song??? She took out all the feeling of this song, and she did perform this live with feeling. I'm disappointed Usurahi shinjuu: I don't have problems with jazzy tunes, I just didn't want Ringo's version of this song to sound like this, and I prefer Hayashibara's version The heavy metallic girl: I like it, It's another good song, however I wanted more of that percussion that we have at the intro and outro, and I wish it wasn't in english Otona no okite: Good. I'd prefer that version with Nao matsuzaki, but hey this has a yami ni furu ame feeling for me. This is how SR should use strings, instead of trying to put a whole orchestra in each and every song Naute no dorobouneko: Good. One of the best in the album (notice that none of the tracks were great yet) Smap song: bad, just like smap. yasei no doumei: Wow, surprise surprise, we have a great song here! Certainly the best of the album Saihate ga mitai: meh meh meh. The pink hair live version is better, but is still a boring song Btw... where is the SUNNY thread? Do we have one?
