2nd preview by m-flo's Taku Takahashi




The more I listen to it, the more I'm digging this album!

Oh WOW. :lol: I'm getting a twilight zone vibe yet also suddenly craving a refreshing glass of Milk and some Sea-dooin.  :thumbup

Sounds great but slightly sped up or something?

Yeah I think it was sped up too. Kinda noticeable during LIR.

WTF. Where did my post go?

^ What the.... They could easily add 20 seconds or more to each of those songs by having a decent interlude. It's not like they have a whole slew of dancers that could use that space as a kickass dance break or something! (I mean, seriously. Hyo has been fucked over since GG with NONE of the songs having any decent dance break, even TMYW, RDR, and Mr. Taxi, which would be the ideal songs for that kind of thing unlike ITNW.)

Their lyricists are fucking lazy if they can't even come up with enough material to fill up a standard Jpop 5 minutes. I mean, most of that space is repeated chorus at the end anyhow. Both H!P and AKB48 songs rarely even have a non-chorus/prechorus bridge melody after the interlude.(and the interludes are usually longer than what SNSD's had, wtf)

Not to mention any SNSD remix shows how you can pad out dance tracks with arrangement. Because, you know, they're dance tracks. Meant to be danced to? Anybody?

wut!? We haven't even heard them.  :lol:

Queen - We Will Rock You 2:08
Fastball - Out Of My Head 2:29
Blur - Song 2 1:58
Green Day- Time of Your Life 2:30
Foo Fighters - Big Me 2:13
Weezer - Buddy Holly 2:38
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy 2:38
White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl 1:50
Sublime - What I Got 2:43
Beatles - Norwegian Wood 2:00 In my life 2:20 You got to hide your love away 2:12 a bunch of their other songs (especially Lennon)
Beach Boys - I Get Around 2:14, Wouldn't it be nice, God Only Knows, California Girls, Barbara Ann actually Pretty much all their songs are <2:30
ect. ect. ect. ect.

Remember that saying sometimes less is more? Tacking on stuff just to meet some formula or time isn't a good idea at all imo. If they wanna do a dance break or something they can always add a remix for lives or something. Genie's dance break was much better when they did that remix thing with Yuri and Hyoyeon and the Rock Tronic break they have been doing is ideal imo. Exact same thing with ITNW.

Also shortest song ever to hit #1 in the US top 40 at 1:37  :lol:

Song sounds really great, kind of a sweet house/disco type thing. Plus The Great Escape is an awesome song name. :P Need a HQ version!

Hopefully I'll receive the album before I take off for a few days Friday, but I always seem to get screwed with the timing on this stuff. :lol: :(
