I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...

I got their first album almost 5 years ago, downloaded a few songs sometime later and that was about it. It is only recently that I actually caught up and discovered they have released 3 more albums since then. I didn't expect much, but I listened to them one by one. Alpha left me largely unimpressed and Vandalize had several tracks that I really liked. I left the last one for later. So it's only about t week ago that I listened to GEMINI properly and it came as a big surprise, how good it was. I feel such a strange feeling of pride because I sort of began listening to them when they were just starting and now they got so far. Long gone are freaky doll-make-up and shorts, they have matured so much both in terms of looks and music. It's been a long time since I listened to a new rock album and even longer since I've been impressed by one. But they did it. I think most tracks are quite good, but I've especially grown to like the Gemini trilogy. I love when tracks just blur into one, it seems very non-conformist. I haven't heard anything of the sort since Mansun. Saga is my least favourite, but I have huge respect got him since he wrote most of the music. KING&QUEEN is also very cool. Also I remember back in the day everyone was bitching about Shou's vocals. I admit he's far from being among the best, but he seems to try hard and he's gotten better. He talks a lot better too and doesn't blink as hard, I bet he worked hard on that. They got No.3 on Oricon which is pretty good for a rock album. Way to go!~ :heart:
