Diamond [Regular Edition]

I like the old 12012 stuff and I still liked this album, unlike a lot of other fans. The style has changed a lot, they're much more poppy and polished now, but most of the record is really good despite a couple of filler tracks. The singles are great and other standout tracks are "The Moon", "Empire Of The Lagoon" and the title track which is so much fun - you have to see the video as well, it's hilarious.

I was overexpecting alot when I first heard about this but when i first listened to it some of the soft beats left me a bit unimpressed with the album. Even though its a good album I would not call it their best. I prefer their Play Dolls era songs.

Well, looks like 12012 is a lot more mainstream now. Is that a good thing? Who knows? Its a decent listen, but overall, I was dissappointed with this album. It has a few catchy tracks, but other than that there's really nothing that stands out. The singles on the album, Cyclone and SHINE are probably the best tracks. And what the hell is with Mr. LIAR? What a crappy way to start the album off. The whole thing is pretty forgettable, imo. This album may be good for people who were just introduced to 12012 with Cyclone, but for the longer time listeners, its too pop-rocky I guess. Go hunt down a copy of PLAY DOLLs. p.s the bonus track on this edition, "dream arch" really sucks.
