Wow this is spot on. They really F'd us in the A with that version of Sounan. Seriously, it was soooo bad. The last two albums have been knocked for their penmanship, but at least I always found the arrangements interesting, even if they didn't have much to work with. Yet here, they have a great song, and they completely slack. I can't remember what song went before it, but it seemed like they were forcing it to be in the same key or rhythm or something that just didn't work.
I was really let down by their not having Uki play guitar on 3min. Was it maybe because they wanted him to sing well? I'd have to watch it again, but it seemed underwhelming because I couldn't get over that. His singing
was better, though. Or maybe I'm trying to find an excuse for him.
