BRIDEAR ⛧「 CULT 」...reacting to the song & animated video 

I do believe it is pronounced with a long 'i', like in bride. You did a review of their song Dear Bride a while back. Just invert the title and make it one word. I like the song. Haru got to express herself a little more with her bass and growls. Natsumi is really shining on this album so far, but they all have their moments.

Finally I can watch this video just received my cd this morning personally I like 9/10 songs the final song "die like this" didn't gel with me . Great vid Howard 👌 and my pronounce of bridear is bride- aar probably wrong who cares po!!

The music video doesn't do much for me, either (then again, most don't). A little music video/single contrarianism is fine by me. 🙂I think people miss out on a lot by focusing on songs that have these videos. This song, on its own, honestly had to grow on me. Eventually I was hooked by the guitar lead and the stops in the chorus. The short solo is a good way to mix it up without just not having a solo. Come to think of it, though, this song (and maybe one or two others) probably could've done without a solo -- maybe a 6/4 section as in previous songs Kimi's written, or some other time signature. I'm generally picky about harsh vocals, but I like the use here (from Bridear in general, actually). I think the effect for emphasis is there in the pre-chorus, though maybe more so the first time around because that verse is all in straight time. I also like the call-and-response with the two vocal styles.

For me it's the weakest (but still good) song of this album. Best for me are: Braver words, born again, empty minds and real is real (seems like i like the songs Ayumi is credited for the music the most). The rest is really good, too. It's nice to just start the whole album and listen to it entirely.
