Half of Complete Best is trash. It only gets a 7/10 because Electro World & Computer City are two of the best songs ever, and PSPS, Computer Driving, and Monochrome are also great. Perfume & wonder2 are okay to listen to every once in a long while, and the rest is garbage.

what the fuck am I seeing.

I've seen some REALLY bad opinions in this thread but this is by far the worst.

I've seen people say that furikaeru is perfumes worst song.
I've seen people say that koi wa is a bad song
I've seen people say that dream fighter is better than love the world.
I've seen people say that natty ni koi is perfume's very best song.

but m80. your opinion is just fucked.

flash album mix is actually good. what a surprise

>>15025583
the original is better imo but it's an alright alternative

Sweet Refrain album mix is better
Tokimeki sounds almost the same to me
Star Train is maybe 1% better
I'm unsure which Cling Cling is better
>>
First half of Cosmic Explorer is great, but after STORY everything is so-so.
Except for Cling Cling (album-mix), fuck all y'all, this version is extremely upbeat and fun. Sweet Refrain (album-mix) is fine but it was necessary change to fit within the album.

7/10 like whatever anon said previously.

I think I'm done with Perfume and Nakata. Last Kyary album was bad, last....3 or 4 Capsule albums have been bad and now this boring, EDM filled pile of garbage?

There was a time a few years ago where I worshipped the ground that guy walked on but I think it's finally time to give up. 2007/8 will never come back.
>>
>>15025853
bye bitch
>>
>>15025853
I don't blame you anon. Nakata has been on a negative roll so there's no reason to currently keep up with him. Hell, this year so far has been REALLY bad for music releases so far.
Have you tried any indie idols coming out of Tokyo? There's been some really good stuff coming out. It makes up for the lack of good established music group output.

Incoming autism.

Navigate (4/10) - Not much to it. Not particularly interesting. The presentation as a whole could have been improved by just putting Story here instead and getting rid of this.

Cosmic Explorer (8/10) - Some nice 80s style ballad sounds on this one, similar to what we heard in Tokimeki Lights but less sparsely mixed. Noodling in the middle evocative of Rush-style prog rock. Feels like another intro track so it works well in this position.

Miracle Worker (8/10) - Healthy dose of Western influence detectable in the chorus, but as anon said last thread about CE the adoption is more gracious and up-to-date than something like Sweet Refrain or Wave Runner. Vocals are nice despite the mix being fucked. Bonus points for Nocchi's pronunciation of 'miracle'.

Next Stage with YOU (6/10) - Already delved into this one last thread. This was the track I was most excited about and so I felt pretty let down by the final arrangement. Starts strong but the rest is shaky.

STORY (7/10) - Pretty nice instrumental. Sound effects at the beginning sound a bit amateurish for an actual track but their live utility is obvious. Massive horn synths from White As Snow make a return and while I'm not a fan in general of Nakata's recent 'festival EDM' trend, I don't mind the more well executed aspects popping up here and there. This completely unabashed sound being one of them.

FLASH (5.5/10) - While I was initially pretty optimistic for the album mix after hearing the live clip I ended up being just as bored with this as I was with the single.

Sweet Refrain (4/10) - Didn't care for the single, still don't care for this. Nakata has the mercy to remove or push back a good portion of the terrible wubwubs which were two years too late at the time and by this point sound cartoonishly dated. Unfortunately as a trade-off we get muddier-sounding vocals by virtue of Nakata's 'just stick another layer of sound on it' approach to album mixes and the strange addition of a pissy little electric guitar halfway through.

Cont.
>>
>>15026126
Baby Face (6/10) - The presence of some vocals that one can actually hear properly is reason enough to enjoy this track. Clear inspiration from the recent tropical house trend in Western pop music, a trend that anyone who spends any time at all listening or merely overhearing this sort of music is thoroughly bored of by now. I don't really know how much play time this sort of thing is getting in Japan so perhaps it'll feel fresher to a domestic audience. Nakata does a decent enough job at least of adapting this sound to a track that doesn't end up feeling too out of place on a Perfume album.

TOKIMEKI LIGHTS (6.5/10) - Thought the single was decent and I feel like this mix is a minor improvement. The vocals, yet again, are pushed back in the mix but I don't really feel like that's too much of a detriment this time around. The instrumental is beefed up and glued together a little bit but the change isn't drastic.

STAR TRAIN (4/10) - Album mix does little to assist a boring single. Marginally more listenable but still weak.

Relax In The City (4/10) - Of course this was an A-side so it makes sense that they wanted it in here but Toumei Ningen would fit the sound of the album so much better.

Pick Me Up (5.5/10) - Actually fits alright with the album as a whole after hearing Story and Flash but still not a great track.

Cling Cling (7/10) - The great divider. Personally, I'm a fan. In fact after going back and listening to the single and this back to back I think Nakata could have actually taken this mix a bit further.

Hold Your Hand (4/10) - Song's not awful but I don't want to hear it here.

Overall: 5.5/10

Opinions have changed somewhat since last night and my overall impression of the album has gone up by half a point but I still think it's definitely worse than Level 3 and therefore the worst album overall.

JPN is the laziest album Nakata's ever done, how people don't put it on the bottom every time is beyond me. The original tracks on it are total garbage, aside from My Color, and the rest is just a random mishmash of singles with no flow.
The Glitter remix was nice tho

Star Train is underappreciated but I get that most EDM/house/pop fans won't like ballads, especially if they don't understand the lyrics. It's highly rated in Japan.

Everything Nakata makes now just falls flat of being good. It's just painfully average.

GAME was 8 years ago this month and is this a worthy addition to the lofty heights of the GAME/Triangle era?

They had Baby Crusing Love, GAME, Love the World AND Dream Fighter all release in the span of a year in 2008.

look people there is only one fucking objective tier list and I'm tired of all these fake fans getting it wrong.

it goes GAME>TRIANGLE>COMPLETE BEST>Cosmic Explorer> Level 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SHIT>>>>>>JPN

Level 3 had some great album originals and great flow but had some pretty boring as songs that came with it too and some worse than trash album mixes.

cosmic explorer also had some great album orginals and actually didn't have any shit ones yet cling cling album mix is the worst thing nakata has done next to clown car horns and sweet refrain was a heavy downgrade from the single, not to mention his best song is clear plagerization, ferrel got sued for blurred lines and this is on that level.

but yet with that being said Cosmic explorer at least had a fantastic opening just like Triangle did so I have to rate it. JPN is trash and has no redeemable features. other than have a strolls choreo holly shit that ass shaking is TOO nice, over all it's actually a pretty good song to see live kokoro no sports is also pretty good but pretty much average for a perfume song which makes it sad that it's the best album exclusive JPN has, at least the opening was very smooth, I listen to it more than take off desu

GAME over Triangle every single time.

Triangle is so strong because of one thing. take off into, love the world into dream fighter intoedge into night flight.

that flow is so golden it's a master piece. also the best thing is one of their best album exclusives of all time up there with clockwork, 1mm, secret secret and game.

where it fails is sounding very samish and not really going through many different sounds, not to mention one room disco being shoehorned in, kiss and music is pretty trash and honestly while the songs are fantastic they are pretty harsh on the ears for prolonged periods of time so while I love zero gravity I rarely ever get to it seeing as by the time night flight is done I'm both quenched and incapable to listen to more hyper ultered voices.


once you start GAME you litrually can't stop till it's finished. I've late for shit constantly because of being stuck listening to GAME. not to mention that secret secret and GAME are in perfumes top 3 best songs of all time. butterfly is one of perfumes most chill ass songs that they have and over all GAME has litrually no bad songs on it. plastic smile, salami girl and puppy love are neglected ass songs in my book. people forget about them and perfume rarely perfom them. ceramic girl being the least neglected. yet it's probably plastic smile that is the best of those.

when was the last time the perfomed that?

also perfumes old shit is fucking gold fuck the guy that said complete best is trash


TL;DL: objective facts backed up with well revised and peer reviewed information that you can't deny backing up my opinion.

Holy shit the amount of mixing issues in this album are UNBEARABLE
Did they not even give this a listen before pressing all the commercial copes?

this new fag doesn't understand that posts always come in waves.

you understand that people wake up usually at the same time in different time zones.

the cances of 3 people waking up or coming home from work and posting isn't that small a chance.

usually the way to tell is observing their rhetoric and post styles.

thats how I usually manage to suss out image.jpg. he posts a hell of a lot like you only I know it can't possibly be you seeing as Image.jpg is devoted to the destruction of all perfume fans so he would never defend the album

A little review:

I kind of like the album mixes in CE or at the very least on the fence with them being there. At the very least they don't screw up the songs chosen (hard to make Tokimeki sound worse lol).

Starting from SR and you'll hear some electric guitar, which will be used a little less in Baby Face (next song) to a lesser effect in the next song.

But then we have Star Train's kazoos which sound weird and out of place and don't flow well at all from the previous song. It doesn't do the song a disservice (downgrades it a bit but you might disagree) but it doesn't help the album itself.

Cling Cling sounds a bit different... not a fan of the changes as Nakata does away with a lot of the East asian shit it had going on (and which made it unique) and puts some weird computer/UFO sounds that seem out of place. He didn't even fix that weird I will cling to your chest in the middle of the song.

The Cosmic Explorer album as a whole feels... outdated?

The trap shit on Story is horrible. Most of the songs other than the forgettable album mixes just feel like western sounding songs you'd hear on the radio 3 or 4 years ago.

Ok, this is my Album Review

Cosmic Explorer (2.5 Stars)
Where the emotion in this music? they should use the 80's concept better

Miracle Worker (4 Stars)
I Liked, but still needs something in this song...

Next Stage With you (3,5 Stars)
Is a good song, but could have been better exploited

Story (2 Stars)
Why use that long intro? Why use this style of music to perfume? This is Perfume or DeadMau5?

Flash Album Mix (5 Stars)
Best Song of Album, they did better than original, this is Perfume at finest

Sweet Refrain Album Mix (4,5 Stars)
One more time, better than Original Mix

Baby Face (3 Stars)
Seems that Perfume take some inspiration from Avicii

Tokimeki Lights album mix (3 Stars)
This is even a remix? it looked like original

Star Train Album Mix (3 Stars)
Again, same original song just some new FX

Relax in the City / Pick Me Up
I Will jump both songs review beacuse is same thing from single

Cling Cling Album Mix (2,5 Stars)
For third time... Original Music + New FX

Total (3,3 Stars)
Is not the Worst Perfume Album but is also not the Best.... i Think that perfume should back to Origins of his success (Polyrithm Single Era) in terms of creativity, maybe last album can be the last one (i hope not)
>>

Triangle
Complete Best
Game
Cosmic Explorer
JPN

I hate My Color but I don't mind the other JPN songs. My biggest gripe with JPN is the song arrangement compared to the previous albums. But JPN looks like solid gold compared to level 3/CE

The album as a whole gave me this conflicted feeling. I love Perfume, but the album is nothing like what Perfume used to be about.

Listening to GAME and Triangle kinda bugs me now. CE is just so disparate in comparison. I really never thought they'd released an album with less lyrics than Level 3. I mean sure the girls have always been about dancing, but that only applies to their shows, not an album. I want songs that are fun to listen and watch. Even worse, Perfume is too late in the game to switch producer, so they'll be heading down the slippery slope till they retire in 2 years.

Hopefully the album flops so nakata can chase a trend other than edm. That, or make a genuinely good album for mito.

Kyary is even more far gone than perfume lol

>>15034146
Exactly the same sentiments here. The songs might grow on me eventually, but this kind of thing splits fanbases. Their heavy non-use of lyrics and instead reliance on fucking awoo's goes to show that the focus was for more catchy songs. The avici example was dead-on. This might work, but chances are that it won't and in the process further split the older fans from supporting the group.

Also not understanding why tumblerinas are so happy with this album. Withdrawal?
>>
>>15033262
it just looks like shes doing the same move as a-chan and yuka but facing the other direction, and she just does quickly and sharply so it looks the way it looks.

>>15033325
either laziness, attempting to make it catchy, or both!

The mixing errors are enough for me to consider this album as complete trash.
I love how all the tumblrinas just ignore all the blatant problems.
Fucking clipping issues, random spots of just empty audio, it's disgusting.

being an A~chan fag is almost much equally as shit at this point. rarely anything good comes from A~chan these days and while she looks great still her dresses are rarely ever good. while nocchi's outfits tend to be bad too the usually are a little better and also have a cute autistic appeal to them.

also nocchi has been a gold mine for the past two years.

2014 was a great year for depressed pictures and so was mid 2015 but when she is lively she is actually a lot better so I'm really enjoying her at the moment.


chubby A~chan> happy nocchi> current A~chan > depressed nocchi > sexy yuka > cute yuka = fringe nocchi > current yuka.

man that's one mess of a list.

what I love about nocchi is that she is always hooking us the fuck up with the good shit. I said it way before perfume view that came with star train but once that came out it only strenghened my point.

pointing at yuka's legs, taking shots of their shoes for us, giving us the close ups. nocchi just want us to stay and she knows giving us nuts to buss is the best way to do that. nocchi is smart.

no don't do this!
We're edgy ppl with honest opinions and definitely not tumblr-like in our blind hatred to the smallest of issues.

actually some posts here have brought up good points, esp mixing and stupidly loud tracks...
but shit like >>15037893 makes me go wtf. A freaking hiccup/stutter ruined a track? dat autism.
I'm okay with the album desu but was expecting something more. This isn't Perfume.. it's an unholy western Capsule-AVICI track.

Tumblr blindly defends CE because they don't want to appear the odd one out of the hugbox.

If you like CE that's fine but being a fan doesn't mean that you can't look at something objectively or base things on the artists' past releases. I, as a westerner, would not pay to hear the songs on Cosmic Explorer performed live but I would (and have) everything before it.
