At the end of the day, it comes down to personal taste. Sometimes I prefer soft, synthesized melodies with Miku vocals tuned in an ethereal fashion, others I prefer more fast-paced and rough electronic Rin songs. Then on others I will go an listen to some pop, such as PENGUINS PROJECT or Chiquewa, or some deep Vocaloid house like ZANIO or relaxing Miku lounge music like Methusela. That's the beauty and the downside of Vocaloid; it's amazingly varied that its hard to establish similar tastes for many albums that fall out of the rock, metal, jazz genres. Miku, or musical deriatives WITHOUT vocaloids but still from the vocaloid scene (confusing) are each and all special snowflakes, no matter if it's my favorite album or yours.



I've listened to Napitas a lot. To claim it's formless isn't incorrect, it's just that the structure of the songs purposefully kept cloudier than say, classical sheet music for an orchestra. The structure itself is the lack of crescendos, vocals, and high-rises, replaced instead by imaginative and flavorful tones. It's meant to be like floating on a cloud, or slowly sinking to the bottom of a pond. You can't expect a lot of guitar solos, high-pitched miku singing, or actual straight-laced choruses in ambient music. It just goes with the flow, which is understandably why the whole ambient vocaloid genre is a niche within a niche, and its why Napitas didn't get much exposure as an album.
