Anyone Else Like EastNewSound's Music?

I know I already made a post just recently, but eh, I'll make another one.
Just want to know if there is anyone else who likes EastNewSound's music. I haven't listened to all of their music, but just about everything I've heard from them, I've liked so far.
Plus, 砂の肖像 (translated roughly as "Portrait in Sand" has become among my favorite Touhou arrangements I've come across so far. (Just wish there was a proper English translation for that song's lyrics...)
This one's description is also pretty short this time around. Heh.
 
Took a little look and tried on some of EastNewSound's songs and to be honest it doesn't go into my taste
Well, different people can like different kinds of music.
 
I've only listened to a handful of their songs but somehow they fall just short for me. In general I think they just don't push things as far as I would want.

I listened to 砂の肖像 as you recommended. For my own tastes, the melody is sort of boring, and I'd like it more if it was pushed faster. It's a fine song, and I wouldn't mind it being on somewhere in the background, but I don't think it'd enter a playlist of mine for active listening.

And that's how I've felt about the rest of their songs that I've listened to. Good music, certainly. Just doesn't stand out enough to really catch my ear in any particular way.
 
I initially glossed over this because I remember lot of EastNewSound's songs being meh... Then I remembered they have made some of my favorite bangers ever.






+ the original 緋色月下、狂咲ノ絶 everyone knows that they never quite managed to top.

Not even sure I've listened to any of those.

Changed one song to a version with armature English subtitles. I think there was a better one somewhere but I can't find it now. The thing about EastNewSound is that they do a variety of styles, that's why any track can be a hit or miss depending on what kind of music you like. Also, honestly, the original 'Rot in hell !!' sounds way better, but I picked the version I send you because it's one of their few songs in English.

I mean, that is the same for me. With most songs and groups even, it depends for me.

I mean, yea. But there are some circles that have a rather fascinating case of sounding exactly the same with every arrange they make.
