Review: DELUHI - Revolver Blast

I was expecting more out of the re-recording of REVOLVER BLAST. I generally hate when bands re-release a song after it was already on an album and I dislike it more when they do nothing to improve upon the song. DELUHI is guilty of the first but not of the second. Even though I was looking forward to a new intro that doesn't involve just Juri breathing, or maybe a slightly longer solo, orsomething other than them changing the DragonForce-reminiscent intro and then scattering that like confetti throughout the weaker parts of the song that made it drag during Yggdalive, at least it's not the same song over again (stares at Sadie's Kagerou). It's nice but completely unneeded.

Remember the Rain is nice but boring. One particular thing is that Juri clearly omits the word "the" during Remember the Rain even though it's obviously there, yet in FOLLOW THE FUTURE he said all three words. REMEMBER RAIN makes me cringe >.<. Oh, and it's slightly too long for my taste. If it was chopped down by perhaps a minute I might like it a tad more. I do like what they did in the solo section of the song though. I think I detected some acoustics there. They add a nice touch but for a song that approaches six minutes this ballad/slower pop rock number fails. It doesn't have that DELUHI touch to it that saves most of their songs from sounding lame.

F.T.O.'s chorus sucks hardcore balls. In what's an onslaught of thrash metal and attitude, it doesn't fit with the flow of the song. It sounds like they lifted it out of somewhere else and stuck it in there. Omit that and we've got a decent song on our hands, perhaps even as good as the beast that is REVOLVER BLAST.

DELUHI, you haven't disappointed me this much since Flash:Black. If you have Yggdalive you don't need this, and if you don't have Yggdalive...go get Yggdalive and disregard this single.
