Review by Mi

To be honest, I already knew this album was going to be good but I didn't expect it to be this good! Red Light Green Light, Haze, When You Say, Man in the Sky are some great songs. The only thing is that I wish it would have had more tracks cuz I didn't want it to end...yea, it's an awesome album...worth every penny!

This DVD brought back many memories as I was able to attend the Baltimore concert. It was amazing to see "Smile" brought to life as well as their older favorites. The guys put on a marvelous show, and everyone who got to be there has something to remember it by. =)

When I first got this CD, I couldn't put it down for the longest time. It was on constant repeat for days. "nu Chemical Rhetoric" is quite an addicting album with many catchy jazz/blues tunes. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. The bonus DVD is great to watch with two music videos, and the making-of feature.

Kirito's solo debut exceeded my expectations. "DOOR" was a strong single, but "Saisei no Asa" was even better.

I've been a long time fan of L'Arc~en~Ciel. I must say that this is the first live DVD since Grand Cross Conclusion to blow me away. Hyde's vocals/singing was superior. Ken, Tetsu, and Yukihiro played very well as usual. On top of it all, the visuals were absolutely amazing. They left a lasting impression especially with the message of "love and peace". If there is any live you should see, this is definitely one of them.

Even though I was sad to hear Inoran was leaving FAKE?, I enjoyed this last live with him as a member of the band and lead guitarist. Ken Lloyd's vocals were powerful, quite good actually. He poured his soul into it, I thought. Inoran was great as usual along with the rest of the support band. They played many songs from "Made with Air" along with some of their older (best) songs. I especially loved the performances of "Snow" and "Belleza".
