After a sudden cut in instrumentation, Satsuki stands alone in the spotlight, where his choppy yet smooth singing is featured prominently. The bipolarity in the vocals throws listeners around, and everything is agitatedly driven forward by rolling drums. The restricted nature of the song slowly breaks its own bindings and abandons the plane of sanity. After the abrupt stop, THE ABYSS OF DESPAIR quickly picks up with progressive opening scales and what initially appears to be mercifully tamed vocals. The track sets a strong mood and hangs on to it through a pleasant drift between slow, fast, soft and heavy like an avalanche, it builds, sloping toward the song's sudden, appropriately empty clincher. Employing a bluesy guitar with an overlapping piano, they set up a dreamy atmosphere, assisted by tasteful minimalist electronics that nicely match Satsuki's naturally flowing emotion. To recover from the small slip up of JUST MAD PAIN, RENTRER EN SOI delivers a silky, smooth ballad next: Ushinawareta Fuukei no Yume. The catchy chorus does the song a few favors, but in the end the track offers only a nice hook and a fleeting guitar solo, then slips back into the abyss of predictability. The vocals, though skillful in every technical manner, seem a bit too rushed. It opens with promising drum pounding however, it is invaded by a misplaced acoustic overlay all too soon. The second track, JUST MAD PAIN, is intense, but is unfortunately caged in sloppy composition. I WAS DAMNED is a solid opener to the album and sets an accurate tone for the remaining tracks in their edgier and softer incarnations alike. The ominous and omnipresent bass, delivered by Ryo, is an effective binder for the entire track, and oscillating beats roll throughout the entire track. His vocals are laced with a guitar and drum complement. Vocalist Satsuki shows off his range of skills, which varies from intense, brutal shouts to harmonious screaming. The track is a tricky mix of downtuned guitars and loud, pissed off screaming, and it is overflowing with electronic effects. The album opens with a gorgeously aggressive track, I WAS DAMNED. The release marks their heaviest to date, and shows some definitive progress since the band's eponymous RENTRER EN SOI. The band was coached by the likes of Daisuke of the studs and Kyo from Dir en grey. The album was supported by four singles, and was more than a year in the making. At the peak of their heaviness, RENTRER EN SOI released their epic work THE BOTTOM OF CHAOS in the summer of 2007.
