After seeing All Standart Is You, I had to have a good GLAY cd. After debuting at No. 1 last week, GLAY’s album One Love falls to No. 2 with 748,000, a sales slide of 88%. There is so much to love about GLAY, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. One of GLAY’s best albums yet.
I like the agression and power of Wet Dream. Some of the arrangements found on One Love are surprisingly edgy. Highway NO.5 - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. hitohira no jiyuu (Johnny the peace mix) is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. This track is clearly meant to showcase GLAY’s vocal abilities. Viva Viva Viva presents the marvelous mix of instruments on One Love. Prize is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Mermaid is the album’s biggest hit, I think. mister popcorn is nothing but pure genius. When I listen to denki iruka kimyou na shikou in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Only one song from One Love named Stay Tuned really got me. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Overall a nice softer song. Christmas Ring - GLAY first major hit. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. One Love All Standart Is You reprise on One Love is solid and easy to listen to.
