I was surprised I forgot to mention that both here and on tumblr.

My opinion based on the samples:


 * DoE and SoE sound exactly like the versions used in the Project Mirai game.


 * Muzzle's vocals got reworked heavily but otherwise seems to sound the same. Nemesis sounds ridiculously monotone now (outside the chorus) imo.


 * I am not even sure if Lunacy got touched up.


 * Miniature Garden Girl finally got a much needed upgrade in quality (unless an earlier album reworked it and I haven't heard it). I actually liked listening to its sample.


 * EFEC got another meh vocal update but I am curious about how the redone instrumental turned out.


 * V3 KAITO butchered JoC. RIP Gallerian.


 * Not sure if I like Tailor's reworked Luka sound; might be the awkward vibrato for me.


 * All the new songs sound interesting, SCP being my fave so far followed by Onigashima.

Overall, this seems like a pretty packed album of with most of its tracks bringing something new. It definitely seems worth the preorder for at least the regular edition. Maybe the full versions of some of the songs would change my opinion though.

I am wondering if them being part of Hellish Yard has allowed them to also reconstruct the lives they had lived from their memories so they can forever indulge in their sin. It's possible, although I wouldn't like to be any of them according to their punishments in Hell. There have been so many interpretations and depictions of punishment in Hell from Christian poets, artists, and writers that I honestly expect mothy to make his own decisions on what these characters get as an afterlife (he's already sent them all to heaven regardless of actions, so why not get creative with hell?).

The only curiosity is of course how meeting the souls of some of these characters would work. Riliane was, to our knowledge, lived a life regretting her actions as the selfish princess right up until her death. Yet her illustration is clearly showing her as she was when she was 14, seemingly playing inside her gargantuan birthday cake.

Likewise, there's Margarita who's an individual in consciousness only. How is that going to work with Eve (or do "souls" get defined differently in the Evillious universe)?

Sickle wants Allen to converse with these souls but I do hope the circumstances surrounding their meeting will be well explained and why it seems they're back to how they were when alive, indulging in their own self-centered desires/actions. Very curious.
