Innocent Sorrow Single 5

One of the fantastic intros to D.Gray-man...just wish I had waited to buy it since there's a collection out now with all of the themes in it. Oh, well...it's still a great buy anyway. The B-side tracks are really good, too, so it makes up for not waiting!

One of the greatest D.Gray-Man songs! 5

Still remains one of my favorite OPs to date. The PV for the song is also very nice. I was introduced to the TV series with this song, and it still sticks in my mind as a great OP because of it.

"Earth Live" 5

These guys I enjoyed seeing during "Earth Live". They rocked my socks off. They paled songs of this CD. I thought they're performance was professional and entertaining, especially the outfits. Both guitarist's work was exceptional and the lead vocal strong & captivating. The keyboardist & percussionist were also great. I would definately pay money to see them in Concert if they ever come to the USA. I hope they all have good careers in the music industry. They also seemed to enjoy playing to such a large audience. Add me as a new Fan member. Ray from the USA

Takanori is AMAZING! 5

Takanori really is AMAZING!!!
He and the guys have done a GREAT job with this singel.Looking forward to what the future holds for them ^^

<3 5

I love the sound!
Great lyrics too!
Kudos for the English, needs work, but I love the effort!
It has a really good feel too!

A Great Change for TMR! 4

If you're coming into abingdon boys school as a fan of Takanori Nishikawa, you're in for a surprise; abs and T.M. Revolution are two trains passing in the night. abs can take some getting used to, but once you've made the adjustment, it's a great group with an electronic rock sound that's entirely too addictive. Fre@K $HoW in particular takes some listening to at first, but actually surpassed Innocent Sorrow in preference for me. I definitely am looking forward to a full album release!

Great CD 4

Great CD! I love it. I had seen the music video to Innocent Sorrow and decided to buy the CD...Freak Show is a great addition to it. The band really did a great job. I am looking forward to hearing more from them. If you enjoy Takanori's music as T.M. Revolution, you should enjoy Abingdon Boys School as well. A must buy for any T.M. Revolution fan.

Addictive! 5

An amazing new song from an amazing band! In the past I have rarely enjoyed releases from Takanori Nishikawa. But with this single I am forever a fan. His change in singing style is awesome! But credit should be given where credit is due. All members of abingdon boys school show a level of skill that can only come from their vast experience as musicians. They have an amazing sound, and I hope that this single will herald many more releases to come!

WOW! Amazing Debut Single! 5

I hadn't heard any ABS before this Single came in the mail, and I was in for a pleasent surprise! I love TMR's music, and I think this was even better. Innocent Sorrow was an excellent song and I've just been listening to it over and over again. I eagerly await an annoucement for a full length album.

a.b.s debuts in STYLE 5

a.b.s. is best known as a new alternative-rock band with Takanori Nishikawa of T.M.Revolution fame at the forefront. The question stands, however: does a.b.s. distinguish itself on its own? Is it good enough to stand outside T.M.R's shadow?

The answer is yes. Oh yes. And with what style!

I'd heard of T.M.R before, but had never listened to them, and went into a.b.s. a newcomer to Takanori and his involvement with music. stay away and Dress, while good songs, did not leap out at me. This single, however, did - and it has even made me love the other two songs much more.

INNOCENT SORROW is the better of the two songs on the single. It is, in a word, fantastic. From the enchanting intro to the conclusive outro, the song screams "I am just so awesome!" The feel is slightly melancholy, despite the upbeat rock melody. The cadences leading up to and included in the chorus are incredibly satisfying, even though they sound odd at first. Fre@k $HoW is darker and heavier and only slightly less awesome. Takanori has a great voice, and his backing band could not be better.

Together with stay away, these three a.b.s. originals (Dress being a cover) promise great, great things. I can't wait for more!
