Hmm.

I actually really like Cosmic Explorer so I seem to be in a minority in these threads. I kinda think the real highlight of the track is right at the end (04:39-04:57) where all the fancy noises drop off and it just grooves out for 18 seconds, it's like a prize at the end and if I got bored of the song through over listening, I think I'd still stick it out for that. I find the first three (four counting Navigate) tracks really listenable, maybe because they're newer. For sure the whole album has a lot off ooing and ahhing which bothers me a lot, and those songs are no different, but on their own merit I quite like them, CE and MW especially, what can I say.

Party Maker I do like, but it can be hard to go back to, the big chunk where they dance without vocals is kinda ugly unmelodic sound, it's like one of the worse Capsule tracks, it's percussive and repetitive and not that interesting or fun to listen to if you're not also watching them dancing at the same time. It's a whole nearly two minutes of the song (01:30-03:26 - I find the shift it takes in the second minute slightly more palatable). Obviously the highlight of Party Maker is the bouncy happy part at 04:27 that starts with Nocchi dancing solo (until recently). That bit's pretty great but it's a quarter the length of the ugly part. The bits with vocals are decent enough. I rarely feel any real urge to listen to it like I did when it came out.

I have similar complaints about Story, I find it difficult to listen to.

Despite those complaints about Party Maker, I do love Edge and often go back to it. BUT, every time I listen to it I comment in my head "this song peaks too early" and it bothers me every time. After it peaks it's just repetitive without adding anything new for what is the majority of the song. It should have been shorter or rejigged to peak later (talking about Triangle mix here).

Yes I wrote an essay. Suck it.
