Great band 5

I just love this band, and this single was really worth buying. It's hard rock, but rather melodic, and I even got a nice bonus with it.
By Nadine @SWITZERLAND (2008/11/18)

BRILLIANT 5

I don't think this band will ever disappoint me personally, BRILLIANT at first as a song I was unsure about, but the hesistation didn't last long and a few days later I found myself "la la"ing at it and singing along and I love it.

Of course, "Cocoon" I think almost everyone adored the first time they heard it- it has a dark [coll:set]-esque sound to it with an anthemic chorus and this song will get stuck in your head forever, I think it's beautiful. I recommend buying as always.
By Charlotte @UNITED KINGDOM (2008/10/25)

Brilliant 5

By Chrome @UNITED STATES (2008/10/15)

D'ray...good bye? 1

Q: WTF is this?
A; This is the worstes single by D'ray!! =((
Never mind what visual is gone, but the music... The band goes the way of west bands, its very bad. Original sound & stile in the past, hope what Brilliant was experimental and new album will show to as good songs&sound
By Critic @RUSSIA (2008/08/15)

my review of brilliant, by D'espairsRay 5

I really love this single.
D'espa started out not being a favorite group of mine, but listening to them elsewise than live may change that, eventually.

By Jessica Harris @UNITED STATES (2008/07/30)

Not only becouse i like D'espairs Ray, but becouse I like Japan!

I like D'espairs Ray! I like CdJapan and I love Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Aleksey @RUSSIA (2008/07/29)

Evolving sound 5

D'espairsRay continues to impress with new sounds. They stick to their industrial metal roots while evolving the sound of their music, taking it in many directions. This single was worth every penny. Cocoon has A-side potential, and like its name implies, Brilliant is indeed brilliant.
By Jimmy @UNITED STATES (2008/07/27)

Excellent, yet another B-track favorite 5

Both songs are so very D'espairsRay, that unique sound they always manage to deliver and they sure do it beautifully. This would be yet another single in which I prefer the B-track song rather than the main song. Coccon is blast your mind away AMAZING. Love that song since the very first moment I heard it. Brilliant is a great song as well, very melodic, very energetic. Love these guys and this is another great single every D'espa fan and any new comer should definitely have.
