I've not listened to this album attentively,
and the other day, I gave it some time,
I still prefer HAMON,
maybe that's the version of kitayama that I like,
it's not that he can only do HAMON style, just my preference!
I've always prefer the heavy metal, the plucking of metalic strings on the guitar,
so, the highlight to me is actually the rearranged old song, ie. haininarumaeni!!!
it's not that these songs are less nice in me, just that, they're overall nice, but despite the lead tracks that leave an impression to the listener, as they've been promoting it...
the rest of the other songs are on "average" nice, but doesn't impress me much like what 11:11 in the SG "ULTRA",
and LONER in SG "Just Like That",
somehow, kitayama strikes me with, all the SGs are good, maybe for AL, there're so many songs that've to be packed into it together,
while promoting the lead track, the other songs got overshadowed!
if I'll have to name a few, from ULTRAction, I think Drivin' is one that I can call out easily!!!
Kitayama's good at rock, hardcore,
and Kitayama's good at simple pop song, "simple", doesn't mean he's simple, I think he sings pop song extremely well, and they're all catchy!!
plus the heavy metal type of rock, like his NEO Era,
and of course, like "haininarumaeni", this is something that I'm so glad that he's taken it back and rearranged it!!!
