The long awaited album from the GazettE! A must have for fans old and new alike.

The band's sound has really matured, and albeit for some, who have felt that the band has gone in a different direction, I think that the change is something to be embraced.

One of the things I love most about this is the album's packaging. I love the amount of detail that is put into it! It certainly holds a few surprises that aren't immediately obvious to the eye, unless you have physically seen and touched it for yourself.

Musically, the monster of a 17 track album seems large at first, but taking into account that 5 tracks are instrumentals and a further 4 tracks are single-songs, that only leaves space for 8 new songs.

The instrumentals somewhat break up the album into certain sections, but overall, I feel it doesn't obstruct the flow of the album.

Although single-songs have been put into the album, the sound two older single-songs of Guren and LEECH have somewhat been altered for the album. The do sound somewhat different from the original single versions, which makes them a fresh listen, somewhat.

For the new songs, they all sound quite unique in their own way. They might, at first, remind you of other music, but fundamentally, I feel that this is the GazettE.

As for the extra DVD that comes with this edition of the album, I feel it is a very worthy addition.
The PV of THE INVISIBLE WALL, is obviously included.
The making of the album takes you behind-the-scenes, from the preparation, to the recording, to the CD cover photo-shooting, mastering of the album, and the final outcome. It gives an insight to how the band works in production and post-production.

Overall, in my personal opinion, I feel this is one of the best albums to date. The band tries a lot of new things, and I feel this doesn't fall short of my expectations for the album.
