Mirror [Regular Edition] Customer Reviews

a GREAT album by D'espairsRay! one of the first j-rock albums to make me like every song on the tracklist =)

this is my cd favourite from visual-ken in a long time. My favourites songs are "Mirror" (the best), "Damned", "Trickstar", "Kaleidoscope", and "Angeldust". The "trickstar" PV is so cool!!!! great album!!!!!

Out of all the cds they have every released, this is by far my favorite. Their music hasn't changed that much from the previous CD. <3

The band's second full-length release features material that's only slightly different from their older material. While the old stuff is quite dark, Mirror adopts a slightly lighter approach, although some songs like Mirror, Sixty-Nine and Damned are still pretty darn loud. I prefer the older material up to and including Coll:set, but this has been a great buy also. If you like this, you should really get the Spiral Staircase #15 Final DVD.

I love this Cd. I was hoping it was be just a great as the previous album, its awesome! Great buy!

Great sounding album. If you like your songs heavy, this album will keep you satisfied for a long time. Every track has a unique touch to it. While many albums suffer from the lack of nice sounding tracks other than the main songs, this album sounds great from beginning to end. I especially liked Angeldust and SCREEN. Overall if you're into heavy music or you want to try out something new, this album is definitely worth your buy.

The previous singles included in this album: "Closer To Ideal", "Kogoeru Yoru Ni Saita Hana" and my favorite "Squall" have made this album sounds more familiar; also easier to enjoy. Other songs are pretty great, and I'm glad they still have the 'essence of D'espairsRay'. However, some of you may think their music has gone 'softer'. It's not a bad thing at all though, because we still can feel the members' soul and skill through each song. We can even hear a more beautiful voice from Hizumi. This is my first experience of buying D'espairsRay item; and I'm glad this album is mine now. I'm looking forward for their next work for sure. ^^

This CD is entirely awesome! Guitar parts drive me crazy! Never feel loving Karyu like this. He's truly awesome!!!!! The combination of all instruments is perfect! All tracks are pretty good though. My favourites are Damned, Trickster and Lost scene. This is a can't be missed album xDDDDDD

I wasnt sure if I was going to like it because of the single SQUALL, but it is now one my fav albums along with Coll:Set. Im still not sure which album I like more, but I know that now Dray is one of my Fav bands everrrr. :)

Another excellent album from D'espairsRay. The song Squall is particuarly good but every song on this album is awesome. Highly recommended.

I went back and listened to Despa's first album again and this really is a staggering progression, a quantum leap forward for this amazing band. Practically everything about this album is perfect - the production, playing, songwriting. It's probably already the album of the year. This is metallic VK as she should be wrote. If you care about this genre in any way, buy it. Nuff said.

Gosh... Where to begin...... First I'm gunna say that... D'espairsRay have just once again proved what an awesome/talented/unbelievable/unforgettable band they are!!! Who needs an awesome visual look (which they definitly have) if you play and sound the way they do... It's VERY different from [Coll:set]... I'm kind of shocked at the difference... HOWEVER! That doesn't belittle the awesomeness of this CD... Infact... It makes it even better!!! D'espairsRay wasn't afraid to go in the direction they chose and have completely impressed me and SOOOO many other fans... It is hard to say if (in my opinion) this CD does indeed surpass [Coll:set] The dark broody sound of [Coll:set] is a big reason why I love it... But the sound of [MIRROR]... It is somewhat dark and broody like [Coll:set], but has a new and refreshing sound to it... Which makes it so awesome because it makes you want more! Angeldust is my favorite... I just love how the lyrics are sung. Trickster and SIXtyNINe are also some of the best songs out of this CD in my opinion for their own reasons... The Trickster video... was awesome!! If you are a D'espairsRay fan YOU MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST get this Cd ASAP!!!

This CD is great!!I don't regret it! They are once again my favorite jrock band. All of their songs are great and i can't stop listen to it ^^ My favorites are Damned, trickster,hollow and sixtynine Love it!

OMG! this album was AMAZING!! SUGOI!!!!!! This album by far in my opinion is BETTER THE COLL:SET. its Different REALLY different but its still D'espairsRay. Just another side of this great band. Might i say that Hollow was a funny song omg i love the "hollow" parts omg it made me laugh so hard lol but its still an AMAZING song. Karyu's guitar parts were amazing throughout the album might i say. HIZUMI's Vocals have gotten soo much better Oh my god! ZEROs Bass parts were extremely good it shows of just how good of a bass player he is. and TSUKASA his drumming wow thats all I have to say WOW! Overall rating of this album out of 10: infinity
