Best ★ Scandal
October 20th, 2009 19:13 in J-Music
The J Rock Girl Band Scandal released their first full Album this week and give us 13 tracks full of their talent.
The album comes in 3 different version which are the following:
- Limited Edition w/ photobook
On the picture above you can see the cover of the Limited DVD Edition. Unfortunetly I couldn’t get a hold of the Photobook Limited Edition.
13 Tracks are a total of 50,7 minutes of joy with the shortest song being 3:12 minutes which is Shoujo S. I would like to have a Ayumi Hamasaki Album where the shortest song would be over 3 minutes long.
Lets see what the tracklist for all 3 versions is.
- SCANDAL BABY
- 少女S
- DOLL
- 恋模様
- 夢見るつばさ
- アナタガマワル
- スペースレンジャー
- Ring!Ring!Ring!
- マボロシナイト
- キミと夜と涙
- ひとつだけ
- SAKURAグッバイ
- カゲロウ-album mix-
As far as I know there are 7 old songs and 6 new ones. Which is pretty good. A lot of songs which were on their single releases didn’t get on the album. On one side it is good because you get a lot of new tracks but I would have loved to have BEAUTeen on the album as well.
The DVD contains all their music videos, the making of of the Shoujo S and Yume Miru Tsubasa Video and a few clips from their mini world tour they did in 2008 visiting the USA, France and China.
The album is a really good one for a first album. Of course there are songs which somebody won’t like that much but for me their are just a few. Namely Ring!Ring!Ring! but just because I think it doesn’t fit that well and is way slower than the rest of the songs.
As a Rock band they don’t have pop or ballad on their release but Rock can have a huge variety so that it won’t get boring.
And for those who don’t know SCANDAL yet, here are a few live gigs and their wikipedia entry.
