I've never listened to Black:List before this single, but I know they just changed vocalists. The new vocalist is Kyotaru, from √eight. Pretty much everyone so far has like Ryo, their old vocalist more, but since I've never heard him before, I don't care XD
MELANCHOLY starts off the single. I know this song is a redone song with Kyotaru, and a lot of people don't like this version nearly as much. Truthfully, his voice didn't click right away for this song, but after a few listens, I love it. The intro flows well into the song, and the overall the song has a great smooth feel, only broken by Kyotaru's rough vocals. Great song. Oh, and I LOVE the synth in it.
grief is the second song on the single, and it's a much faster song than MELANCHOLY. WE also get to hear more of Kyotaru great screams, although other than his screams and growls, I don't like his voice too much in this song. The guitar is pretty good, I like the harsh tone it has. Surprisingly, one of my favorite parts of this song is the drumming. It's a good song with great screams but some poor singing.

Champ213 was awesome enough to include a rip of the PV "Throw hope away" from the DVD that was included with the single. This song is f-ing amazing. Reminds me of eight at thier very best. This song goes from hard to soft and back flawlessly. They should have included this as one of the song on the single, as it is easily the best song out of the three. If anything, just download it for this song alone.
Overall, a pretty good single. I will miss Kyotaru in √eight, cause Illational was amazing, but since I already kind of considered them dead (cause what, they were suppose to have a new album out by fall of last year?) it's great to see him in a band.
