After listening to the previews of the other songs...

OMGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! They sounded like a 'real' band, if you know what I mean??? These songs had more credibility and substance than previous pop songs, more subtlety and soul! Loved Mami's vocal, it really sounded like she was putting more into singing. Great rock presence whilst still maintaing solid SCANDAL style overall and pop influences, all of them were interesting and original!!! LOVE!

It's to be expected I think. They have the experience, the crew, the equipment and the chops to pull this kind of thing now. It's really awesome. I'm so happy I preordered this.

I'll do a track by track later. It's very late now

ya you might be right about it being better than even the legendary BEST SCANDAL

I only really-liked 5 songs from BEST SCANDAL (SB,Doll,Shojo,Kagerou,AGM) but from the looks of QAT I may end up liking at least 8-9 songs (QAT,TS,RnR,BC,KtV,Koe,RS,Bright,Harukaze)

This album sounds like it will be super awesome!
"Queens are Trumps" - sounds awesome! Something I can headbang to lol
"Rock'n Roll" - I really like the chorus.
"Bitter Chocolate" - nice slow song
"Kill the Virgin" - the bass and guitar riff is really catchy. (Is it just me, or does Timo's singing sound different in this track?)
"Koe" - MAMI!~
"Rising Star" - Nice upbeat track.
"Bright" - Nice chord progressions, especially in the chorus - I get chills down my spine. Possibly my favorite?
"Right Here" - I like it. It kind of reminds me of music I used to listen to back in the '90s when I was a wee lad. lol

I really want to hear the rest of the songs! I can't wait until the album gets here!

Oh wow, this album is gonna be awesome!

I can't wait to hear the full version of Kill the Virgin, Koe, and Bright. My 3 favourites from the previews :D

so here are my top 5 so far for this album (based on the previews)... in no particular order:

Queens Are Trumps
Welcome Home
Koe
Bright
Rising Star

I think all of the songs are motivational type songs that's why they're all fun to listen.... if that would be the case then this might well be the best album of them so far....

Kill the Virgin still has to grow on me but it sounds nice so far

But all I can say is that Scandal Leveled Up a lot in this one .... the instrumentals, arrangements all of them are so wonderful... too bad it's just a 30 second preview but it's okay for now

waaa..

"koe" mamiiiI!!!! .wow.

"rising star" another aniime op/ed? .wow.

.dies.

This album is a freaking beast! Can't wait for it.
It's funny how lately some people seem to be quite disappointed with SCANDAL's music and find they are now too idolish or something but here they rock the house HAHAHA .happy.

Woah I cannot wait to hear the full versions!!!

Mami really silences all of the haters with some solid playing on Queens are Trumps, I can't wait to see her solo the crap out of that song live!!!

In fact, I hope the remaining 7 songs include some other awesome solo's as well as some solid input from Rina and Tomomi (a bass solo or some slapping would be nice)

I like how Tomomi seems to embrace effects on Kill The Virgin, it sounds like a phaser or something, the song also seems like it is building up to something awesome.

It might be the first album since BEST SCANDAL where I actually like the majority of the songs, TB and BA failed to keep me captivated overall even though there were some great songs on those records. Though, realistically I only really like about 6 songs on BA and about 5 on TB, the rest, I listen to but they aren't as cool to me, compared to BS where I like all of them except for DOLL. I guess at the end of the day, this is all opinionated, which is good in a way because it reinforces how SCANDAL has something for everyone, which I think is valuable for a band.

wow, I think this album will make many people happy
seriously it sounds like this has potential to become their best album so far, I think I can't wait so much longer! And I love that the last track is more upbeat than the ones in the 2 previous albums. Queens are Trumps will kick ass!

I'm really hoping that this album will do well in the Oricon Charts by being within the top 5 for the first week. With it the girls will set a new record by being the only girlband since debut to have 4 consecutive album release within the top 5 of the charts... They are currently tie with Pink Sapphire with 3 albums.

Any info on the other artist that will be releasing an album at the same week?

i get the 80's rock feeling from the previews itself, so awesome *A*

Quick question...

So the DVD version has the Track list too...and the Photo book includes both....??

All three version of the album will have every song in the track list, but the DVD Version comes with a bonus DVD of course and the Photobook version with a photobook.

I only know about Girugamesh releasing on that day

I always look forward to a new album from SCANDAL but after listening to the previews I am
really excited about this one.

I bet everyone is... no more bagging out on SCANDAL... this album has all doubters biting the dust... boo yeah! hehehe

OMG! the previews were awsome! gotta say that i like Rock N Roll so much! .wow.

longer preview of Queens are trumps~ .nosebleed. .nosebleed.

Haruna's Oh shit man me laugh so hard... we might be seeing mature content alert on their next album ahahahhaha All fingers point at Mami for writing the lyrics. ahahahahhaaha

Man! I missed a lot of things!!..Cool songs!!!!..Can't wait for it.. .toj.
And Mami's guitar solo, very promising!.

the part was... unexpected. I think deep down Mami really wants to say that , or maybe it's Mami's prank for Haru lol. And I thought I heard it wrong XD. But it doesn't change my view... the song is still awesome :D
which makes me wonder even more how the other girl's songs full lyrics are gonna be like...

Maybe she was typing the lyrics and accidentally typed and sent what she was thinking at that moment...

i love scandal swearing!
first tomomi, now haruna...
