I consider this blasphemy. Blackout doesn't deserve such a high rating. If you can praise Shuraba single ver and rip the album version such that you don't even consider it music anymore ChickShhh, I don't see why you gave Blackout such a high rating (good thing you didn't rate it above Sounan though), especially considering the fact that they sound almost the same in so many ways.
From what I can hear, Hata is essentially playing the same rhythm in both Sounan and in Blackout. (Any drummers want to confirm/deny this?) The same goes for Kameda, a lot of this bass parts in Blackout are an exact copy of Sounan. His part in the Blackout chorus is pretty cool stuff though. However, Kameda does get his chance to really play something really amazing towards the end of Sounan - a counterpoint of SR's guitar solo mixed with Hata's rhythmic elements; pity the bad recording glosses over it. Uki's solo on Blackout could sound acceptable if not for his tone, which makes my ears hurt (please stop your silly trills and start doing more vibratos, please). The structure/impulse/rhythm/arrangement of Blackout is just so similar to Sounan, it's almost like SR is trying to write another Sounan. If Sounan is the Prada bag of all TJ tracks, then Blackout is just its sad made-in-China grade B fake. (No offence to people living in China.) Now, Blackout fans, I would like to hear your defence.

I have not really compared sounan and blackout but I just like both of them.

mirrorball was performed on JCHI DVD, not released as a single (yet)
and Shoujo Robot was released by tomosaka rie, SR just composed it... and performed it on Zazen Xstasy and 6 VOLT ELEC TRIQue lives, but this is a old story

muhuaha, what kind of defense do u expect? should i draw charts comparing chord progressions or key changes? I like Blackout because i like it, I didn't notice the similarities because i was too busy losing myself in all the shiina goodness. |

But it'll be from a Shiina that wasnt so "refined, laid-back, and mature." :cool:
EDIT: score one for me, I think that one's worth a point! =P

It'll be sweet if you could do that. Simply put, there is no defence. Sounan is the better song. Period. :cool:
