Review: Kuroyume- Misery

Tracklist:
1.Misery
2. Glory Hole
3. Paraphilia

Misery- When I think of the PV preview for Misery, well........ I never would have that this would be the introduction, especially since the rest of the song is completely void of it. I thoroughly enjoy this song though, the guitar riff is extremely catchy and rolls right along with chorus.I particularly love the guitar from 2:15 to 2:44, and I think we've all established by now my love for Kiyoharu. I really like this song, however, I wish this song were longer.

Glory Hole- So, not being a porn expert, I hope I'm right in saying that this song title has a pretty sexual connotation. Now, please correct if I'm wrong but that is the only defintion that I know for Glory Hole. Moving past that, this is actually a very good song, my second favorite on this single. The high guitar riff is pretty awesome and sounds great with the bass line. Also, there are a surprising amount of synth. effects in this song, infact the majority you can just barely hear since they fit so well with the instrumentals. Also, the rythm is pretty bangin'.......haha no pun intended. Seriously though Glory Hole's only downfall is that it's not even three minutes long.

Paraphilia- Honestly this is my least favorite song, not that it is a bad song, but I can't stand the underlying electronic effect. If a strobe light made a sound that would be it, and it would give you a headache and make you sick. I do like the song itself however, the chorus is decent, and it has good beat. I do think that the song sounds slightly commonplace after Misery and Glory Hole, and also seems a bit overpowered. So, like I said not my favorite song.

I only have two reasons for marking this single down. First, I don't think the songs are long enough, and second because I'm not really in like with Paraphilia, it kind of gives me a headache.

My Grade: B+, 4/5
