I applaud the time they took to make an entire album with 3D animated music videos. However, I find that most of the songs sound pretty average and the animation, for the most part, is pretty stilted. Some of the dance moves are pretty awkward, too, and it kind of felt like the animators didn't know what to do in the instrumental interludes.
Here's a list of my favorite to least favorite songs:
1. Black or White? - a banger, also I choose black; this and #2 are why this compilation is overall a 6 and not a 5.
2. Candy Parade - another certified banger; love the
...
way it changes keys; beautiful animation; trans rights!
3. Step by Step - another decent banger, love the drum change in the chorus and how the bridge transitions to a different key.
4. Kimi to Boku - solid cover, though I think it runs a bit too long.
5. White Xmas - very good Christmas song; best Miku impression.
6. Poker Face - it was annoying as the ending theme of the first season, but now that I get to hear it, it's alright.
7. One Week - it would've been a banger if it weren't for the constant descending synths at the forefront; I also like the outfit.
8. Coloring - pleasant to listen to, if a bit repetitive.
9. Vanilla Salt - it's a cover; what's happening with the music video, though?
10. Monochrome - nice song, but not android enough; this is why I would've preferred Miku in place of this.
11. 「?」- the animation is pretty memorable, but not the song, unfortunately.
12. Never Ending Story - she's a mermaid apparently, and Travis Scott keeps falling off the stage.
13. Yahho!! - great music video, but she sounds like she's not putting any effort into the song.
14. Try again - not much in this song works for me; what's with those duplications?
15. Watashi dake no Monogatari - I barely remember this one and I just watched it.
Overall, these songs would be fine for osu! beatmaps, but that's about it. Except for Black or White and Candy Parade, those are bangers. I'd say check out those two, as well as Step by Step, if you don't want to listen to the whole playlist.
