(continued from above) Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
#7 - Soft, poppish rock ballad that suddenly explodes into semi-chaos. I love the ironic twists that occur in the middle. Extremely heart-burning lyrics, and pretty steady vocal performance that shows signs of Nanase's improvement. #8 - Interesting combination of punk and kiddish vocals. It's almost like what Blink 182 (American punk band) would perform in, except it's cute and not as edgy. Similar to "Bub". #9 - Prepare for adrenaline over-dose from the rapid, heart-pounding beat. Feels like you're almost crashing into a wall. There's some strange guitar tweaking in the middle that makes it sound somewhat surreal. #10 - I love this one because it's different and gothic, in a "Buffy the Vampire" way. What I mean is it makes you think about death. Nanase's good vocal performance adds to the success of this song. #11 - Um.. this is one slow song I don't particularly like because it just doesn't suit her vocal capabilities. Makes her sound fake and strained. Sounds like something Noriko Sakai would sing though. #12 - Sounds like a commercialized version of Seven Seas. Make no mistake, it is good in some ways, but it gets boring after a few listenings.

Diverse Compilation as a whole Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I must give my hand to Nanase on this album. Overall, the technics are pretty good, except for certain slow ones. However denounced Track 5 may be, it is a pretty good song (if Nanase's voice could just be a bit more steady). The following are my comments on each song: #1 - This song leans towards the 50's classical rock vibe. It is just quite simply a fun song with a dip of rap. A mix of her past "Glory Days", "Break Out", and "Bitch". #2 - Strong vocals combined with explosive guitar performance. The feeling borders on anger and aggression. Overall style is similar to "Love Merry-Go-Round". #3 - This is one hard rock song with a strange melody that I had a hard time catching onto. I can't name a single song that is similar to this one. #4 - One truly optimistic ballad that gives an airy, floating feeling. You'll swear you were flying over water. The concise guitar riffs makes this a perfect rock song that is almost alternative. #5 - Soft, sad ballad that is a mystical world in itself. One must give credit to its amazing orchestral (yet contemporary) background music. Nanase could improve on her technics to make this a perfect combination. #6 - This song is similar to what a young Joan Jett (American rock artist) would perform in. Lots of classical rockabilic guitar activity, and a twangy vocal. Similar to "Sweet Emotion". (continue below)
