"I want to know myself so bad it hurtsI am a shelf holding unread words
I've said goodbye so many times in my lifeI'm surprised it's still so hard for meTo see that I should start living my lifeOr I will die unfulfilled and empty "
​
every time i hear those lyrics i almost tear up and think about my unfilled life, it makes me really wanna start living, inspire me to do something new in life instead of wasting my life .There's got to be more than this right?I don't want to just exist. Have they ever played this song live??

Just realized the lyrics are different between the album version..
So is he saying "we messed up so badly... Or we mixed up so badly" ?

What song lyrics always hit you hard? In a good way or bad way.
I always feel huge waves of emotion and hurt when I hear Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
Hearing Nicks sing: “Oh, mirror in the sky what is love Can the child with in my heart rise above Can I sail through the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my life?”
It will almost always bring me close to tears and well up. I very much relate to the lyrics and they speak to my deepest fears. It also provides me reassurance, that I’ve managed to go from being a child, teen, man, husband and now father. Not without problems, but I’ve allowed my life experience to bring me to the place I am at today. It’s not perfect and yes I’m broken but I always will be…. And that’s not my fault…. It just is….. I just keep setting sail and learning the tides….. I’m still trying to take care of the child in my heart…… he’s a very hurt boy who doesn’t feel loved or cared for no matter how much I try to tell him he’s worthy and that I love him.
Sorry sappy shit but I had to get it out of me today after listening to that song.

Many believe thriller is Michael’s best album because not only is it his best album sale wise, but is it truly his best lyrically?
Me personally I think that thriller isn’t Michael’s best, but it isn’t his worst.
Can I get some backup here?
(coming from a BAD lover)

We've been playing for a few months as a band, nothing professional or with a contract, but we were kinda clear from the start that we didn't just want to play cover forever, our first goal was to be able to build a set list and later on play in front of people.
We've been playing covers for the last 3 months and were slowly bringing up the idea of moving to original. I have like 4 songs that are pretty advanced, with tabs and every part written (but drums) so I was happy that we were finally moving forward. They don't have any songs on their side, that's ok. I sent them the audio and tabs along with another song. We rehearse 2:30 hours a week, a lot of time spent talking, setting up, covers, and maybe 10 mins of original but they didn't really understand the structure of the song so "rework it again, and by the way our time is up we have to leave the studio"
For the last 4 weeks, I've been sending them tabs again "dumbed" down (meaning I removed small licks here and there and kept it as simple as possible) same results, they have trouble understanding the songs. At this point i'm getting frustrated because as much as I put myself in question again, thinking maybe the song is wrong and I fucked up, changing tabs, dumbing it down even more, writing lyrics and bass part (because they are not coming up with anything), changing part, timing, I really don't know what i'm doing wrong.
I'm getting kinda annoyed and i'm like...80% sure that the fact they are not understanding the songs is because they spend 0 min listening or working on it outside of rehearsal. It's a simple freaking intro - verse - chorus - verse - chorus song. I don't have a degree in music theory but I know that it's not a song with fucked up rhythm, wrong choice of notes... at this point it's pretty much just bars of power chord. I'm also not an asshole that doesn't want to change anything, i'm open to any new idea but they don't suggest anything.
I kinda didn't say anything but the last two times I snapped and told them pretty much to move their asses if they want to do something with the band (of course I didn't say it that bad, but that I was getting frustrated that I was putting in the work I felt like they weren't even bothering opening up the audio files I sent them, which I realised was the case later on ) They said I was right and that from now on they were gonna focus more. I'm also frustrated because i'm literally laying it out for them and doing the work, i'm writing full songs with all part pre written, open to any change, they apparently like the songs as they told me, but there isn't any response from them.
Anyway to keep it short there's a lot of little stuff that happens that just proves they aren't doing anything outside the 2 hours of rehearse, and I feel like if nobody says anything and is a buzz killer nothing is gonna move forward, I know they also wanna create their own songs and play gig, but at the same time I feel like a dick because we aren't pro, there isn't money on the line or a contract. I'm seriously doubting my ability and i'm getting frustrated as well as feeling like a dick. I don't wanna leave this band because they are friends but I can't find the line between getting things moving and being a controlling freak. I know they all have schedule and a job (as I do) but I still somehow find time to work on the band, while they don't (?)

Then last but not least, here are all my various rankings of different facets of the show. Starting off with my episode rankings, and then team and canon ship rankings (in general and season-by-season), and lastly my final character rankings and tier lists (both in general and season-by-season). Though if you haven’t seen my part 1 post yet, I advise you go see it (you can find it via this link)

Outro + what I might do in the future👀

With that all being said, this completely concludes my super long rewatch series. Once again, thank you to all who actually followed this series at any point! With that being said, I figured I should briefly talk about what I have planned in the future. Well for starters, I still have to continue my poll series. And now that I’ve completed this series, stating my opinions should be even easier now. Also, the new seasons are coming up soon. So I may or may not add onto this series once the episodes air, whether it be doing full-on episode by episode reviews, or just going by the slightly more efficient commentary style I did where I go through a few episodes per post. On top of this, I’ve also recently watched a couple of fanseasons on YT, that being Disventure Camp and Adventure Camp. And I think I have something planned for that
But for now, this is Geo, for the last time in this series, signing off✌️

Today I have a preliminary appointment before my autism assessment. Because I’m very stressed about it (I was misdiagnosed before) I started compiling evidence. I tried listing my special interests but I don’t have a big one. I have like 4 or 5 and sometimes I’m more interested in one or the others and I don’t know absolutely everything about them. I’m scared they will ask me to prove I know everything about them. They’re also very « girly »: I only listen to Taylor swift and know the lyrics and meaning of every songs, I bake and research recipes multiple times a week, and I embroider (the other one is true crime - I listen to it all day long). Is it bad ?

At long last the world has been graced by the release of the first album by Morfonica, QUINTET. Having been over a year and a half since the last Bandori album release (and nearly as long since I wrote my last review) I was eager to finally get to hear what they had been working on for this album. Would Morfonica manage to find a way to define their sound in an interesting and exciting way as Afterglow had done on ONE OF US, or would they fall into the trap of making overproduced and painfully formulaic music as has happened to Roselia? Given all the singles released prior to this album it was possible to see Morfonica going either direction, and in the end the result still ends up somewhere in the middle.
The first thing I should address before getting deeper into the review is my biggest potential bias. I am Tsukushi's biggest fan. Tsukushi is the best part of this entire franchise. Tsukushi is the most talented and most adorable member of any of the seven bands. If Tsukushi has million number of fans I am one of them. If Tsukushi has ten fans I am one of them. If Tsukushi has no fans, that means I am no more on the earth. If the world is against Tsukushi, I am against the world. And copypastas aside, Tsukushi's work on this album is fantastic. She perfectly underscores all of the biggest sonic moments on the album, always creating the perfect driving force to push through and build the most exciting moments of the heaviest songs on the album. On the other end of the spectrum, she creates a very stable rock for the rest of the band to sit on top of in the more easy-going songs. Tsukushi is practically flawless throughout the entire album, and what else would you expect?
Rui is also great on this album. She displays a high level of skill even as a classical player in the confines of rock arrangements. In a context like this it can be easy for the violin to sound like just a gimmick or to get lost in the sound in the rest of the band, but most often it is Rui who carries these songs instrumentally. On "Prelude to Gold" it is Rui's sweet and delicate melodies connecting the sections that really complete the songs aesthetic. "Melancholic Lullaby", one of the new songs released with the album, has Rui playing a lot of great phrases perfectly accentuating the other parts. On this song she also plays a lot of intervals, including some short feature sections where she plays them with oblique motion. I don't think I've had to mention oblique motion yet in one of these reviews despite it being the best kind of motion. I guess that's just another one of the unique things Rui brings to the table. "Daylight," the albums opening track, is also a standout track for Rui. Her solo at the beginning of this song sets a great tone for the rest of the album as well as being one of the most memorable parts of the album. Whether she's the main point of interest or just acting as the decoration for everyone else's parts, Rui doesn't disappoint.
Meanwhile, as Rui and Tsukushi compete to see who can contribute more to the album, Nanami and Toko are in a dead heat to see who can contribute the least. In what seems to be the standard for Bandori albums, the basslines sit in an area somewhere between boring and entirely unnoteworthy. As for Toko, she sits in mostly the same space aside from the moments where she is actively detrimental to the songs. Having listened to the album multiple times, it is unclear whether she is capable of playing anything besides the most basic rhythms and lackluster solos. Her solo on "flame of hope" is great example of everything wrong with her playing. Besides her solo section, this is probably the best song on the album, with lots of strong violin playing by Rui and a powerful group sound. Then Toko's solo happens. She takes almost no creative liberties, hitting the root notes multiple times with quarter and eighth notes, doesn't attempt to extend or develop the meager ideas the solo opened with, and overall ends up being leagues less interesting than Rui's background part playing at the exact same time. Any time Toko leaves the background herself she doesn't contribute anything worthwhile. Having such a weak player as the lead guitarist of the band does a lot to hold back the full potential of these songs.
Among all these songs, the biggest point of lost potential is "fly with the night". I've tried to like this song, but it always feels like something is missing from it. Once again Rui does a great job and the song is worth listening to if only just for that. Otherwise, the rest of the band seems to be always a step behind her and delivers one of the least inspired choruses on the album and some not so appealing vocal melodies throughout. "Harmony Day" suffers in a very similar way, with Rui managing to salvage most of it while Toko's ill-conceived background filling makes the rest a pain to listen to. Then there's "Colorful Liberty" and "Yorube no Sunny, Sunny" which to me come across more as rejected Poppin'Party songs. I'm not exactly sure what it is about these songs that makes me feel this way. Maybe its the poorly done group vocals? Or the higher pitched single channel guitar moments? Whatever it is, I can do without it. All of the songs mentioned in this paragraph show the potential of something that could be great with some more work, yet none of them quite manage to find it. What I think it boils down to is that Bandori composers are afraid to take risks. Maybe what this band has really needed the whole time is a non-Bandori composer....
...and that's exactly what they got! (at least for one song.) "The Cricle Of Butterflies" features the writing talents of Jun'ichi Satou from fhana. I did not listen to this song when it first came out mostly because Ayase had ruined my idea of what a guest composer meant for Bandori songs with his work on Poppin'Party's "Introduction," a song which in my opinion is a mistake and one of the worst in Poppin'Party's catalogue. Now that I've heard "The Circle Of Butterflies" I can see I was wrong to assume all guest composers are a bad idea and Ayase's butchering of Poppin'Party's sound is an isolated incident. Satou does a great job with Morfonica on this song. Mashiro is given a lot of space to sing her heart out while being backed up by a fuller string arrangement. Toning back the guitar and drums for one track makes it sound so open and freeing compared to the rest of the album. It was also a bold decision to have a group of strings and not just use the proven talent of Rui, but in the end it works out. This is really a Mashiro feature song. Perhaps having only Rui instead of an entire string section would have pulled too much attention away from Mashiro and lessened the impact of the song. I also like how the lyrics here are more imaginative than the rest of the album, a lot more in line with what I would expect from Mashiro, picturing herself as being in a cocoon closing herself off from people but wanting to break free and become a butterfly. A theme similar to what Mashiro wrote in "Bloom Bloom", another stand out song lyrically, and executed just as well on "The Circle Of Butterflies".
Now is the time I must talk in more specifically about Mashiro's singing. I'll try and keep it simple. Mashiro is a good singer. Her voice isn't bad. If you're still one of these people that thinks her voice is bad then you are wrong and don't know what bad singing sounds like. That one note in "Daylight" is the only time she hits a bad note on the whole album, but that's more the fault of how they wrote the part and not her singing. Her lyrics also fail to be as colorful and and wonderous as her imagination a lot of the time, but again that is independent of her singing. I will not be responding to any Mashiro doubters.
Another thing this album does that I like is it lets Mashiro carry the vocals (mostly) by herself. All the other bands have way too many sections of vocals being passed off to other members besides the lead or sections with pretty weak group unison parts. I've mostly felt that these sections are mostly pandering and unnecessary. Luckily, Morfonica does not do the same. Group unison parts are used sparingly, so when it does come up a lot in a song like "Chikai no Wingbeat" it actually acts as a unique identity for that song compared to the others instead of just being a pointless distraction from the main vocalist.
CONCLUSION: Morfonica's debut album QUINTET shows more than anything that the band still has a long way to go. Some members don't contribute as greatly as others, and some songs fail to be memorable overall despite some great single-person efforts. That being said, when they do make something that hits, oh boy does it hit. 'Explosive' is rarely a word I'd use to describe violin playing, but in the case of this album it definitely fits. Hard hitting rock songs are where this band is at it's best, yet they don't need to depend on this as their only way to keep your attention. Attempts to change the pace with slower songs or fuller melodies also go over mostly well. Even though I am disappointed by what I saw as lost potential on some of these songs, the album is still enjoyable overall, with their worst stuff still setting a higher bar than the worst stuff of most other bands in the franchise. I hope that future releases by Morfonica show a stronger group effort and less filler songs.
