I'm sorry for the earlier post, my feelings of the moment shouldn't interfere with posts that have nothing to do with it.

I'd like to know how you think he is közi-ish though, and not just say "he is közi-ish".

Oh, and apart from the pictures, too. (I know I'm being hard on people XD)

Well.. what I remember from my bedtime-reading I imagine Loke as a really strange god, impossible to grasp or really understand... (I think, at least that, is very közi-ish xD) He always do a lot of bad things and laughs at it, always says really weird things (and rude too, though I can't remember them that much.. It was that citat from Kinsao's book xp), he makes a lot of attention wherever he goes and is rejected from the rest of the gods.

And.. It's most a feeling I get when I think about it.. though I don't think Közi is as mean as Loke :p I mean.. in interwievs and things, Közi often doesn't really answer the questions, the impresson I get of him is rather humoristic, he often makes me laugh and Loke did too.. The other people in asagård (don't know your name on it xP) is rather boring, Loke is the one that makes it worth reading or hearing about and the one that can make fun of things. He's not really evil... I think Loke is very misunderstood... :cry: Don't know about Közi.. x)

Not so many concrete things, because I remember too less, and as I said it is most a feeling. I could understand if Közi thought of Loke when he named the album (though I still believe it is just engrish).

understand how I think? ^^ My english fails me... x__x

The first notes in Que sera sera sounds like Garnet ~kindan no sono e~

anyone else noticed that?

Yeah, when I first listened to the song, I thought I was listening to Garnet.

Anyways, when I first listened to the album, I hated it. Every single song. Second time listening, I hated it a little bit less, but still hated it. After like, 5 listens, I loved it. Loki n' Roll and Babylo started out as my least favourite songs, but are now my favourites. The only one I don't really like is Night Creature. Oh, and I'm Not. Everything else is good though. Even "Who's Mind" is a good interlude.

I love Loki n' Roll. And I've read a lot of reviews about it, and most of them were negative. I understand if someone doesn't like the music for some reason. But I've read that people don't like it just because it's not like the things he's done before. They say "it's not közi-ish". I really can't understand why people are so close-minded (is like that? sorry, my english sucks -_-) and say that they don't like it because it's different. He tried something different that the things he did before. And some people say, too, that it has "too much guitar sound"...eeeh....Közi is a guitarist, of course he would want to play the guitar in his CD.
I think it's a very good album.

@ Yuki-sama: you are right about the album growing on you. It has on me, and I find it... a bit addictive, actually. ::meev:: I've also come to like Loki n' Roll and Babylo more! ^^ I think partly I didn't first appreciate Babylo so much as I do now because it's placed right next to Loki n' Roll which has a similar pace and texture, so it sounds like "more of the same" when you first hear the album. As well as those songs both being at the beginning, so your ears are still kinda stunned. ;)

@ Haiko: I dunno, I think there are a fair few people here who like it. :) Of course, some don't. I've no idea of the truth of the matter but for me, I got the impression that -Scape-ers were pretty evenly split on whether they like or dislike it. ^^ Personally, I do like it - a lot - even though I prefer Catharsis. :) I can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea, but just to dislike it because it's different from his previous work is pretty stupid if you ask me. If you're gonna dislike something, dislike it on its weaknesses! ::bleh:: As regards the guitar sound... hmm, if people can say what it is about the sound they don't like, fair enough. :P Also, I think perhaps the more noticeable guitar sound gives the album a more "conventional" feel, whereas many people fell for Közi's quirkiness and unusual sound. :P

@ EChickeN: is not allowed to request things for download here. ;) But the album is still available on CD Japan! :D

I prefer Catharsis too, but I like Loki n' roll a lot.
Well, a lot of people say they don't like it because the voice has too much effects.

Your house with Kozi and Yu~Ki.
I like Loki, I just think Kozi could have done better ^_^ It wasn't bad, just I felt like Kozi could have done something more. He'll get there.

Loki was ok... but as Kozikim said, it would have been a lot better.

I'm still waiting for that Kozi superalbum that will show that he can be solo, and still do great music

Well I didnt like the album at first, and it was a total disappointment when I first heard the whole thing, minus the first track which was an instant hit for me. It really built me up and got me excited to only get really disappointed with the rest of it.

HOWEVER, the album started to grow on me, and now I really love it. It was just not what I was expecting from his previous stuff and even Eve of Destiny's stuff. And yes, as some have stated, the voice affects were really annoying at first, not to mention the first song Loki has too much distortion in general. But then I started realizing that Kozi is just one of those talented musical enigmas who has his own uncompromisable (and perhaps experimental) style. Either you get it or you dont.

I guess he could have made a better album for his FANS if he listened to our likes and dislikes, but I have the impression he just did exactly what he wanted to do instead.

Though obviously it isnt so different you cant tell its kozi. He still has the carnival/circus melodies here and there with baroque/classicle-ish guitar riffs here and there.

To compare Kozi to Mana, I would say Mana has a more diciplined and formulated/calculated stlye where as Kozi is just all over the place; wild crazy and experimental. And personally, even though I LOVE their separit creations, I still think when they come together is when they are at their best, ahem, Malice Mizer. :D
