The Best of L'Arc-en-Ciel 1994-1998L'Arc-en-CielLacking
Best of albums always have imperfections, the heavenly album for instance, has songs that are actually better than the hit singles from that album, "The Rain leaves a Scar" and "Cureless" should easilly make it to the best of Album but they're not included simply because they weren't "singles", so in a way this should be called "Singles of L'Arc-en-Ciel 1994-1998", there aren't any songs from the 1993 Dune Album either which doesn't make much sense

abingdon boys school [Regular Edition]abingdon boys schoolAwesome Album (not for metal heads tho)
The long anticipated debut Album for Abingdon Boys School wasn't a least bit disappointing, Nishikawa's powerful vocals is as great as ever, and the band's guitarist showcased his talents on several ocassions, one thing that was really noticable in most of their songs is that the band's style was hugely influenced by Linkin Park (that's the part that most metal heads may not appreciate), the addition of Rap into the song "Lost Reason" only made them even more similar, but contrary to what most ppl thought, I personally thought the rapping made the song more interesting, in the Single version it sounded a little empty and the singing time seemed more than three times less than the music itself, and besides the rapping only makes the Guitar solo near the end of the song more stunning, the song "Via Dolorosa" is an absolute masterpiece, ABS have really outdone themselves on this one, at some parts it does feel like a crossover between Evanescence and Linkin Park but it's very unique never the less, all the other songs were great except "Rebirth + Reverse", a very dull conclusion to an otherwise incredible album, I just hope ABS's success doesn't mean T.M Revolution is gone for good.
