MAGIC [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] Customer Reviews

Where to start? This album is literally filled with hard rock numbers : Dive, Time Flies, Ichibu To Zenbu, My Lonely Town, Mayday, Dare Ni Mo Ienee, Freedom Train, Magic and Long Time No see. Only 2 ballads : Pray & Tiny Drops (Note : Yume No Naka De Aimashou is not hard rock but isn't a ballad either; it fits into the JPop category). This is the first B'z album in almost two years. Action dated from December 2007. And the wait was totally worth it. Most songs are simply incredible. Dare Ni Mo Ienee, Freedom Train, Time Flies and Long Time No See are the best new songs in my opinion. The single songs are pretty good too : Dive is my favorite and Ichibu To Zenbu being the worst (I don't hate it but isn't my favorite). If you buy that B'z album for ballads you'll be deceived because there are only two of them : Pray & Tiny Drops. To me, those aren't great at all. Long story short, it's a must have to all B'z fans and I highly recommand it to anyone who wishes to hear B'z music along with their Best Ofs! DVD note : The DVD is a plus for the hardcore fans but beside that, and if on top of it all you don't understand Japanese, it's not worth it.

Cheerful, warm music. For cars, sports, traffic ..........The Music for legs and hands... Listen often , and than more listen , that more like

Some people have critized B'z: It's not really hard-rock, but more pop with a thick guitar layer. Their songs aren't original. They never try anything new. Maybe. Maybe all of that is true. But there's ONE thing that B'z never does: dissappoint. Each of their songs are powerful, strong songs that are great to listen to and each does what it's supposed to do: The faster songs make you wanna dance or just jump around like crazy, the ballads hit you in just the right spot and every song makes you want to sing along. It's not easy to keep producing material that may carry the same sound as your older, but is still different and still fresh and interesting. But B'z always pulls it off. If you've liked anything from B'z in the past, you're guaranteed to like this as well.

This album is going to be amazing! B'z never fails to amaze, they just get better and better! The singles are so great, and they have a tendency to save their best material for the album itself. I can't wait to finally have this!!!! <3
