![JRock247 Review: exist†trace - VIRGIN
[excerpt]
“Wonderland” and “Honey” are the stand-out tracks from the new material, and I really wish one of these had been the lead PV for VIRGIN. Both tracks feature some outstanding guitar work, including miko’s bottleneck guitar solo on “Wonderland” and some cool parts in “Keiyaku” where miko uses an E-bow and layers a fast-forward/rewind effect. Omi rips loose with powerful solos in “Honey” and “Signal”.
“Daybreak” and “True” still shine in composition and performance, and they’re the best spots to pay attention to Naoto and Mally’s irreplaceable back line contributions. You can gather a few glimpses of their synchronicity in “Honey”, but the Mally/Naoto combo is one of the best in today’s J-Rock scene, and VIRGIN’s new material doesn’t highlight them nearly as much as they deserve.
