		<description><![CDATA[Yep, you know that time people!
Mix Speakers, Inc.

When I first noticed the V-kei band I thought it was the perfect replacement for The Candy Spooky Theater because their earlier release were halloween related.  Nowadays after their mini-album &#8220;Wonder Traveling&#8221; they&#8217;re more easy-going and taking the jazzy route with their music and I think that&#8217;s pretty [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10326&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I guess it was appropriate that the guys would begin their 3rd album off with their first single.  I was told that it was written by the boys [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10303&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Kanata no delight (off vocal version)


1. Alternative
After such an amazing single in &#8220;Spiral/Link&#8221;, I was honestly expecting something more explosive from angela.  The beginning to me felt too drawn out.  After the beginning it does become more of a dance track, but it feels like an awkward version of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10299&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

1. jihad
I didn&#8217;t even notice this was an actual single release.  Whenever I think of the word jihad, I think of terrorism, but then again I&#8217;m probably not the only one that does xD.  I&#8217;m actually surprised at how, after &#8220;Epsilon no Fune&#8221; she releases a new single so soon.  About the song, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10274&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Watashi no Tamago (Instrumental)


1. PARTY TIME
Could it be that I&#8217;m in love with a Guardians 4 track?  For the first time, the track doesn&#8217;t feel tacky or messed up because of the uneven vocals.  PARTY TIME also features a great amount of pep and synths to back it up.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10266&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

1. Prophecy
Was I expecting something jaw-dropping from Prophecy?  Nope, because the singles she&#8217;s released after &#8220;PSI-missing&#8221; have been great songs and Prophecy continues to do a good job at keeping my interest alive with her.  It doesn&#8217;t have a real aggressive sound to it, but it&#8217;s got a great pop/electronica/anime-ish [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10269&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dang, I thought we were never going to get anything new from LOVE (Ai Otsuka&#8217;s bunny&#8217;s name &#38; alternate name for her releases that aren&#8217;t her usual sound).  MAGIC is definitely something that&#8217;s not usually seen in Otsuka&#8217;s music.  With the track being covered in synth love and in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10260&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

1. WHY
Is it surprising that Miliyah begins an album testing out new waters?  WHY started out like it would be another meh song from her, but luckily things started to changed when electric guitars start to pop in.  I honestly enjoyed the new style in this track and Miliyah&#8217;s vocals [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=solarblade.wordpress.com&blog=3754112&post=10253&subd=solarblade&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
