Only now am I taking the time to appreciate Makoto Dobashi's drumming on Kishibojin. He seems to mostly keep out of the way of the other members as opposed to Tora's frequent all-over-the-place-ness, but he really is pretty good. Oni kosae no uta in particular seems fairly sophisticated, I think. Another reason why it's such a great track.

@ jesus2099 - Those five songs are all on my favourite list too. Onmyo-za album releases (since Kojin Rasetsu) have come in the two presses, the first press with the thick slipcase, CD jewelcase and photobook, and then the regular jewel case version, but in recent years the first press often sell out at some stores before the release date.

OMG AYAKO 奇子 ! YAY that’s some tune, AYAKO! My other favourites all time are NUÉ 鵺 another OMFG song and MUMAENJŌ 組曲「義経」〜夢魔炎上 also SHINSHOKURINNÉ 浸食輪廻 and well TSUKUHIMÉ 月姫 if I shall only name 5, like the 5 fingers of my hand. — I received 鬼子母神 right now, the photobook this time is not very fantastic, the pics are dark you don’t see clearly and it looks like the standard booklet anyway. But a collection is either full 1st press or full standard, isn’t it? ;) Anyway seems like Onmyo-za’s fans here actually agree or have similar tastes. Now I like this new album.

@allbluedream - I am not feeling the flow of the album at the moment... : ( I don't think it's a matter of heavy because some of my favourite songs are Kuroneko ballads like Ayako or Hotaru for example. It's just the mid-tempo predictability of the songs that don't really go anywhere. I've listened to the album completely all the way through a few times and I feel the importance of the flow is there, but I'm not feeling it yet which is a pity since the whole album is a complete suite. I think a big problem is that I've been listening to the album whilst I have been fairly ill and my concentrative skills are really poor at the moment, so I'm hoping that I can wrap my head around the album as a whole and enjoy it as a complete piece soon. I'm also hoping the book will arrive soon too!

@dememe: "I've already found myself skipping the 12 or so minute Gekkou and Zakurotojubaku combo in the middle and Kouroi at the end as they are of the Onmyo-za style I enjoy least" I'm not skipping tracks, because I want to feel the story flow. However, I do like these songs a lot less than the heavier ones.

I have different feelings everytime I hear the album, but I've worked out that the more experimental tracks such as Samayoi and Kishibojin are my overall favourites and I wish the whole album was more along those lines. I like them so much that I'd happily put them up there with my favourites. I've already found myself skipping the 12 or so minute Gekkou and Zakurotojubaku combo in the middle and Kouroi at the end as they are of the Onmyo-za style I enjoy least and probably why since Matatabi has been writing so many of them from 2005 onwards is linked to my reduced positive feelings towards their recent albums. I much prefer to listen to their older albums where I could sit in a dark room with headphones on and be blown away by any song, but now the emotional connection with their music isn't as strong for me. I enjoy the albums they make now and I accept they have moved on and that's good but the deep emotional connection I used to make with their music isn't there now.

@Slamacques: Indeed. The real problem is that I don't understand much Japanese, so I only understand the sound, but not the "songs", to be exact. Anyway, this album is growing on me now.

@allbluedream: You're making it sound like you're the problem :) But how can it be good music if it requires you to read a book before being moved by it?
