Not a single day without anything going wrong lately. But oh, well, can’t do much about it, can I?
Today’s fuck up of the day is TVXQ’s “MIROTIC” album that mystically won’t be played on my device. Strangely enough, iTunes plays it just fine.

So, Day 4 it is. Tomorrow is Saturday and I’m a little unclear of how my music re-research would progress during weekends.

And as of todays albums, here we go!

First of all, I’ve finished ikimono-gakari‘s “best of” which I started yesterday. I truly was an awesome thing, setting something so purely brilliant like “Nokori Kaze” nearly at the end.
I probably won’t keep the whole album. It is “BEST OF” after all, meaning it is a compilation of good songs. I’ll keep songs that are good for me and let the others go.
I am curious about those ikimono-gakari people now. I’m not sure whether to give one of their regular albums a listen. I can clearly see how Kiyoe’s vocals can do an awfully terrible job to my ears – and yet I am curious.
We’ll see, I guess.

Stereopony – OVER THE BORDER
I’m skipping this one. Stereopony are so down my alley, it is hard to judge. I plan to dedicate a day and listen to their discography, and than evaluating things in retrospect of each other.
But this album is so damn good T__T
Especially compared to

Janice – Do U Know
, which isn’t bad, but a Chinese Pop to the bone. I might be a little bias at the moment, so I won’t claim that this is my final opinion of this album, but it’s just too soft and too patternless whatsoever. There were a couple of songs I went with three stars (“Charming Eyes” and “Do You Know Where You’re going to”), but nothing else at the moment. Hmm… to give some benefit of the doubt I’ll say “Do You Know Where You’re going to” is four stars – somehow it works.
I’ll reevaluate this album eventually and maybe give another of her albums a listen.

Rajaton – Kevat
Rajaton is a Finnish a Capella ensemble. I can’t describe them much beyond the fact that they uncovered something new in my heart today. The first track of this album, “Kivinen Tie”, set the mood of the sky filled with dark clouds, right before heavy, yet somehow purifying, rain. Don’t ask me about that, I’m insane.
Their music makes me feel things I like to feel, and listening to a music without any musical instruments is very unusual. They are truly strange. And I like it. Looking forward for another album.
And as an album, “Kevat” have quite a few 4-stars,which I can see easily evaluated to 5 eventually.

As for the weekend, I’m not sure which music will make it, but I’ll try to honor MIROTIC at least.
