[Review] GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE - Never Let You Go

1. Never Let You Go
This song is okay, I'm not fallen in love with it but it's easy to listening to. It has a laid back pop boy group feel, and it's just a pleasant song. I guess.

3.7/5

2.  Revolver
I like this song a lot more then Never Let You Go. it's a lot more interesting as it's a faster paced song. At times the autotune is a bit too much and too noticeable for my liking and the high note in the chorus seems shaky but I will forget about these points because they don't take away from the overall song.

4/5

3. Hot Shot (English Version)
I know this is the English version but the auto tune it so heavy that I'm struggling to make out any English, it just sounds like gibberish to me. I'm not saying the English is bad, in fact what I can hear in the chorus is said perfectly. No, the problem here is that it's been over produced and I literally can't make out any words. I don't speak Japanese but I wonder if this was a problem on that track as well, I'll be interested to no if anyone can tell me. The song is okay but I do think the Japanese version sounds better.

3.8/5

 Overall this single gets a 3.8/5

[Review] The Vamps - Meet The Vamps

1. Wild Heart

This was previously a single earlier in the year, so I've heard it many times. It's a grower song. On first listen it's a bit boring but the simplicity of this song really grows on me and I do in fact like it. It's an okay song but I feel like this group has a lot more to offer then this song. And because I'm expecting more this song is slightly mediocre.

3.5/5


2. Last Night
After the first two single, I didn't have high hopes for this single when it originally came out. BUT. This song is okay. It's okay. The band are still very much average but at least this song s trying to be different and memorable and it is. It's acceptable.

3.7/5

3. somebody To You
This  is one of my favourite songs, I actually really like this song. This is the kind of song I was hoping for. This song is a sappy pop song but it's one of the best kind of sappy pop songs. Finally. Well done boys for actually making me want to listen to the rest of this album

4/5

4. Can we Dance
This song was the first released single from the single and it set the bar low. I don't like it. It's just mediocre. I had so much hope for this group but its just boring. Maybe they were playing it safe since it was a debt but honestly the song is bland and there are probably a thousands songs like this and this one has nothing special to make it stand out.

3/5

[Review] Khalil Fong - Dangerous World

01. Welcome
This track is 7 seconds long. 7 seconds, and it's a guy talking in a creepy tuned voice. That is it.

0/5

02. 危險世界
This was not the song I was expecting after the intro and the album cover but I was pleasantly surprised. I like this song. It seems normal, a rarity in a lot f Japanese music a review. This song is carefree pop song. It's laid back and it's okay.

3.6/5
  
03. Peace  (featuring Tia Ray)
From a casual pop song we are now into an RnB/ hip hop song and it's in near perfect English. It's a bit of a simply song but it's enjoyable. I'm going to be singing 'Peace Love, Living in Harmony all day now'

3.8/5

04. 小方
And it's been mixed up again. This another RnB type of song. It has a really heavy beat and the rapping and singing both fit this song really nicely. It's not my favourite song, but it's okay.

3.4/5
  
05. Soundcheck
This is a break song. I've forgotten what to call these, it's like an intro song but in the middle of the album. It is literally a sound check. It adds nothing to the album at all.

0/5

06. 黑白灰
I like the weird sound of this song. It seems really theatrical with the carnival sounding piano and the clapping as the main beat. It's an interesting song and I' not sure if I like it or not but it's a song I'm going to remember.

3.5/5

[Review] Da-iCE - Toki


1. Toki
I love everything about this song. For a nonestablished group, I'm impressed. An extremely good pop song right here

4.8/5

2. Sign

This song is really good as well. It's not as catchy as Toki but I still want think it's an amazing pop song.

4.2/5


3. (Only Found On Regular Edition) Toki (English Version)

I don't like this is as much as the Japanases version, just because it sounds weird hearing Japanease voices singing in English and not all the members have good English which throws me out of the song but it's still really good

4.6/5
 
Overall this album gets 4.5/5

[Review] Christina Perri- Head or Heart

1. Trust

I like the eerier background to this song and the overall creepiness of the song, I love how simple this song is, it's just a simple background with Perri singing and pulls me into the album. A good song to start the album with.
3.2/5

2. Burning Gold

This is the second single from the album, the first one being Human. I like the beat of this song, it's a strong song but I don't think their is anything that exciting about the song. Even the bridge which is nice doesn't really make this song that special.
3.6/5
