Another achievement from Garnet Crow
| Garnet Crow is a beautiful anomoly. While so often disillusioned Americans such as myself look to other shores for quality music, the sad truth is that there are cookie cutter artists everywhere. This makes my appreciation for Garnet Crow all the more poignant, for managing to be, and stay, so unique in this world. On "I'm waiting 4 you," GC goes a little more upbeat than on previous albums and is none the worse for it. The lyrics (written by Nana Azuki, who also plays keyboard) are still mostly in Japanese, but whatever language you speak, the feelings communicate perfectly through Yuri Nakamura's deep, sultry vocals. "Yuutzukiyo" is, in my opinion, the stand-out track, with a rather upbeat sound and a tinge of melancholy. "picture of world" starts out slowly but builds into an incredibly addicting, cheerful tune. The remix of "Sky" is good enough to deserve a slot on this album, having a more airy, dreamy feel to it than the first, which was far more heavy and sad. I'd say the original is slightly better. At first I didn't like "Kimi o kazaru hana o sakasou" because it reminds me of a church hymn, but this song really grows on you while retaining that spiritual quality. "Wasurezaki" is an emotionally charged song that takes a few listens to really hit you. "Kono Fuyu no Shirasa ni" is quite addictive; it gets really good around 1:50 and has a sort of techno feel to it. "Blue no Mori de" looked to be a nondescript entry, but the ending really makes this song, with a bubbly, happy feel that had me hitting the repeat button several times. Each song on this album is a masterpiece, and compared to music by GC's contemporaries, it's light years ahead (as always). Compared to GC's earlier albums, "I'm waiting 4 you" holds its own and doesn't disappoint, but I somehow feel that their previous work is slightly better. I can give this album nothing less than a 10, however, due to my deep gratitude that their music exists in the first place. Please support Garnet Crow and buy their albums (I bought all the albums and singles with no regrets)--this band is too good to pass up! |

i must admit that when i first saw this CD, i wasnt sure if it would be that great. i bought their third album, 'Crystallize' and it didnt really stand out to me. it felt as though Garnet Crow had lost their beauty and that unique feeling they gave each other their songs on the first two albums. "I'm Waiting 4 You" simply AMAZED me. 0_0 The music has matured so much and become even better than all the great accomplishments from the past. Each song has its own style, but also still has the traditional Garnet Crow mellowness all throughout them. Piano/Keyboard and acoustic guitar are the main instruments used, as usual - and yet Garnet Crow STILL managed to make their music sound beautiful and completely different from songs in the past. i PROMISE you will love this album. it's definitely their best - i guess Garnet Crow completely prooved me wrong when i thought they couldnt get any better. i must say the songs that stood out most to me on the album were: (3)Wasurezaki, (5)U, (6)Fill A Way, (7)bokura dake no mirai, (11)Picture of World, and (12)Sky. ^^ it's a beautiful album that i dont think ANY jpop fan should go without!! |
