But that's my point! By saying that KZK is only "better" because of its arrangement, you are disregarding the arrangements, almost as if they are something "extra" to the songs. While I agree now that most songs on KZK are still within the verse-chorus song structure, the arrangements show a musical depth and complexity that hasn't been reproduced in Shiina's work. Furthermore, I agree that the intro's to certain tracks are unnecessary (I mostly listen to HF Poltergeist because it lacks the intro), when I'm talking about arrangements I mean things like Shuukyou, Doppelganger, Meisai, Kuki, Yattsuke Shigoto, Ishiki, and Souretsu. Structurally, most of them are verse-chorus, but in terms of arrangements they are very complex.
And yet you say KZK is overrated because of its arrangements, which to me is like saying an album should not be judged based on the arrangements ( or the arrangements should be disregarded when judging the quality of a song).
