5.0 out of 5 stars Something a little different..., April 30, 2006

By	natalie05 "Natalie" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

I've been listening to Gackt for quite a while; and although many people have started to complain about his new sound I find it refreshing that he tries new things every now and then. Diabolos was definately a breathe of fresh air after his previous albums 'The Seventh Night' and 'Love Letter' delivered slow ballads. Redemption continues with the Diabolos sound of heavy guitar and a hard rock sound. LONGING parrallels Redemption with it's heavy sound, but it's composition is indeed unique with a short orchestrated piece in the middle of the song before returning to the harsh guitars. I think that it's quite fitting since this was afterall a theme to the Final Fantasy Game. Gackt's voice is still deep and gorgeous; although a bit rough it compliments the sound of these singles. I believe if you liked Diabolos then this single will not dissappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Songs from the best Artist out There, December 22, 2006

By	Carolyn "Dedicated Yaoi Fan." (NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews

Gackt brings out another prefect set of songs. This time he's singing for Square's Final Fantasy Series; Dirge of Cerberus for Playstation 2.

I prefer Longing over Redemption but I love both songs and even if you don't even plan on picking up Dirge of Cerberus, pick up this CD because Gackt is the best Japanese singer out there!

And unlike Kingdom Hearts, where Square had Utada Hikaru sing both English and Japanese versions, Gackt only sings Japanese. There are no English versions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gackt's new song for DOC is heaven for fans of J-rock, June 20, 2006

By	Denzel Lockheart "Up the Irons" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews

I ahve listened to Gackt ever since 2004, and I heard that he was going to record 2 songs for the upcoming DIRGER OF CERBERUS: FINAL FANTASY VIII game. They are "Redemption" and "Longing". "Redemption" is quite a punk rock classic, and will never die. The second is more softer., But overall, good songs, and I can't wait to hear it in DOC FF7.
