^ Oh, I know...I'll fight as hard as possible against that impulse and force myself to stop complaining

Wait, what?
First, we have yet to hear more than half the album. Second, do you write Eden off as a ballad or something?
I'd say it seems even more upbeat than Magia. 
Seconded, although I prefer original lyrics.
Alan Menken's works alone could make many people's day, and don't get me started on what people like Elton John, Phil Collins and Sting contributed to Disney music... 
ahem, ending offtop here.
My point here, too. When first we go comparing Eden to Here We Stand, than imply it's not upbeat, I'm getting so confused.
Again, before we have heard the majority of the tracks, what makes you expect such a turn of events?

I am surprised we haven't gotten any samples yet. Usually we get them a few weeks in advanced with Kalafina releases.

Only for RE then? AFAIK, none of the shop mentioned above sells the LE one... unless they're going to sell it on the Eden

But...
"Hellfire" and "I'll Make a Man Out of You" are amazing in Swedish! And "I Won't Say I'm In Love" is best in Hungarian...@generic kajiurago I don't mind this much! As long as it's used to compliment the melody or in a way that sounds nice, it's fine.
I am worried about the length of the songs, though...
Whenever a song is more than 4 minutes long, it makes me extremely sceptical. I hope they don't drag.This is a huge problem I have with preordering things; when I don't know what I'm getting, I have a consistent urge to cancel it until I know for absolute certainty what I'm getting.

I am probably the only one that is not cheering on another guitar solo aside from Magia's at all.

^ I'm not entirely fond of guitars on their own, if I'm honest. I think they all sound the same no matter what note they're in and I really don't like listening to them. I don't mind if it's an acoustic guitar, and they're just plucking strings, but...
Though, I don't hate them, and they can be nice on occasion! I just think that... isn't a common occurence.

I would say I'm in the middle. Guitar is not my favorite instrument (used to be), but I don't dislike it either. In some songs though, I completely worship the guitar. But the thing is, that's not the case with basically almost all of Kajiura's songs. Maybe it's just the fact that for Kajiura I don't look forward to the guitar, but instead do this with other artists that in my humble opinion "use" the guitar in a better way.

OK, I'll google those up.
Let's just imagine Yuki has dumped Kajiurago almost completely, and it pops up once an album at most. Now, I wonder, how long will it take us to complain and want "generic" Kajiurago bridges back?
It's good to try something new, but if Yuki wants to compose songs full of "generic Kajiurago", then so be it. The quality of her songs remains far above the
), so let her do what she's INSPIRED to do. When a musician goes experimenting just because people say he/she should do so, without having any personal interest to the things tried... the result seldom turns out good. That's what bothers me.Remember how Mike Oldfield hit the bullseye with his "Moonlight Shadow"? He wanted to try writing songs, and honestly felt like it at the time. But later as he was convinced to keep writing more songs, often against his interest, the results just got less and less impressive than "Moonlight Shadow". Would we want something like that to happen to Yuki just because we're bored of something she's doing now?
I'll heartily welcome something fresh from Yuki, but only at her own pace, when she feels like it. A fan is someone who listens to the musician's works, not the one who orders them.
OK, I'm straying away from the topic again.
Well, JVC seems to cater to these needs (dunno about the past, but at least Fiction 2 had samples), while Sony does not seem to employ this policy. Although they did publish samples of Satoyama tracks from WFS.

Well, that may (and probably isn't) grunty's point when he said "generic Kajiurago", but at least for me it was a way to say that I could care less about it, since not only it is not unimpressive but it also does not catch my attention. I don't believe Kajiura will bring us a completely innovative album, after all, criativity simply ends one day and I think this is the case with her right now. But quality can perpetuate and at least for the Kajiurago part, I was bored. But then again, that's me.

I love how the Hungarian language sounds, and I think it flows really well in that song. Oh, and I also like the French version of that song, too.
Really?
I don't usually get bored while listening to songs unless they drag immensely and are like 80 minutes long (or if I hate them) since I like singing along to them (when I'm on my own) or listening to them while I'm doing something else. I don't ~*close my eyes and listen to the music*~ like others might do, and even if I did, I would get bored if I only concentrate on one thing no matter what it is.

It's one of my favourite Disney song from my childhood, and the truth is that in Hungary they can't translate and sing well at the same time except when they work with Disney movies. But for us I think, Japanese is much learnable since their syllables sounds exactly the same as our sounds. What they write down we read at the same way. Unlike in English for example: white - fill = you read these two words different, even though they include the same "i". I don't know if it's understandable, though.

Half of me is reluctant, just in case of the extreme scenario in which I hate absolutely every single one of them... But I really want to know.
Indecision strikes!
All of the Disney movies are translated/adapted well to other languages. It's nice!
