I take it the new Super Eurobeat albums on the iTunes store are the old-style 128kbps DRM files? If so, I don't think I'll bother.

It's not iTunes Plus so, yeah, it's the f****** 128kbps AAC encode plus DRM.

Ok, the album is actually ... pretty darn good.

Samples are such jerks sometimes.

I can't believe what I'm hearing...

SCP have gone and replaced Pamsy with Irene in Scream Team, just as #Infinity suggested. I love the song, but it just doesn't have the same ring for me as I was soooo looking forward to hearing Pamsy's sweet vocals

Why SCP.....WHHHHYYYYYY???

Anyway, now that I've had my little tantrum, I will say that this is a pretty cool album - I'm going to take a proper listen in my car to and from work tomorrow, but everything I've heard so far sounds excellent

iTunes' 128kbps AAC DRM files are still much better in quality than mu-mo's 128kbps WMA DRM files.

Better but not much ya know. It's comparable to MP3 160.

Guess it's just no surprise that Avex finds Irene to be a lot more popular these days than anyone else in the SCP female lineup after LITNOL.

Still waiting for my copy to arrive...

But she would become more popular if she did more songs of that style! Don't get me wrong, Food Fighter was fantastic but her 2 power tracks were just the best.

Gonna hit up on Music Ocean to attain 195.

Sadly my copy didn't arrive before the weekend, guessing I'll have to wait till Monday. This is actually the first SEB I've actually been looking forward to. Hopefully it won't be letting me down.

And yay for Irene, more Food Fighter material would be most welcome. Or technically anything she has released, but it's just so delicious.

Well, Lately, I think Irene did show a lot of potential and I think it's perfectly fine to have Irene as the lead vocalists this time round.

I agree, she does an excellent job in Kooky Spooky. Where I thought some aspects of her vocals @ Pararappa Dance annoyed me they work perfectly and to her advantage here.

Save Another Day For Me is so awesome. It is the perfect blend of SCP's One Touch and Delta's Fighting

To my Save Another Day For Me felt like One Touch and My Heart Radio. I actually enjoyed every song on the CD.

Welll Burning Like Fire not that much...

KOOKY SPOOKY ftw! Sad not to hear Pamsy, but Irene's vocal work is superb on this track.

Exactly. For the record, I have absolutely nothing against Irene and she does a very good job, but my expectations of hearing Pamsy were very high, and as a result I am disappointed that she's not the "leader" of Scream Team now (especially as she's only shown up once in the 190's so far - maybe I was spoiled in the 180's...)
