I disagree with some other reviews that this album is not "like them." Quite the contrary, it's very progressive and they explore new territory while maintaining their unique characteristics. A good variety of feel and sound. The last track, "All Year 'Round Falling in Love" has some wonderful lyrics that fit syncopate precisely with what is being musically expressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Rocks, May 20, 2001

Of all of the L'Arc~en~Ciel music I have heard, "Real" is the best, most well-rounded album they have put out. The titles are all in English for the new-to-Japanese-music American and the songs show off the large amount of talent that both the musicians and the wonderful vocalist have. The first song, "Get Out From the Shell," is all in English (on the album) and is a semi-hard rockin' song. It goes directly into the seductive "The Nepenthes." Next is the light-hearted and bright "Neo Universe." The fourth song, "bravery," reminds me of a fifties ballad. (very cute) "Love Flies reminds me of...well...sex. (don't slap me) "Finale" will make you want to cuddle the vocalist. Hyde's voice sounds so full of anguish. "Stay Away" has to be put on repeat at least three times because it's just that addictive. Next we add in a little, evil grin of a song with "Route 666." (NOT DEVIL MUSIC) "Time Slip" will take you to a lounge sort of scene with the band all in tuxes and cool vocals over a smooth, laid-back sound. The tenth song on Real is arguably the best song I have ever heard. "A Silent Letter" still makes me cry every now and then. The Album comes to a close with the joyfull love song, "All Year Around Falling in Love." I HIGHLY recomend Real whether you're a die-hard Laruku fan or a curious listener.
