Edit: Wow, amelala. You seriously are so fast! Thanks for updating it all so quickly! I'm a bit sad that this album also starts with an "S", that makes three albums and like 6 or 7 (more or less) singles starting with the letter. But oh well, what am I bitching about? The title sounds so promising! And the promo-pictures look lovely! I'm seriously so curious for the album covers now, I don't think it will be that long of a wait anymore!

This title sound like a blast XD but the promotional pictures are the opposite she is lovely !! With this title I would imagine something more flashy or aggressive but these are just promotional pictures the covers might be different and surely will =)
We have a load of new composers and arrangers this time she seems to have left aside Elements garden a little bit !!

With a title like that, I'm picturing a crazy cover with Nana rocking out with a guitar or something. I didn't like the title at first, but now I think I really like it. It kinda makes sense...which is a big improvement from some past titles lol. I was starting to think "Glorious Break" would actually make a decent title for the album, too.
The photos look really nice. The setting seems familiar for the first two, even in Supernal Liberty she had photos posing against a wall of plants (except they had flowers). I don't mind though, since I like those more "natural" settings as opposed to her against a white background/green screen. I love the blue outfit and the brown outfit with the hat though! I imagine these three photos are glimpse of what the tokuten photos will look like! Hopefully.
Yeah, no Elements Garden yet...like I was telling ℓoro, definitely feels like Supernal Liberty 2.0 with new composer for each song (I thought that was the "gimmick of SL?). This may be good: we'll get some amazing tracks but probably some mediocre too, but something for everyone at least! Frankly, E.G. have been putting out a lot of generic tracks themselves the last year or two...they used to be so imaginative but now that they're one of the "go-to" for a lot of anison acts, they're composing maybe too often and running out of fresh ideas and instead reincorporating past ones or making safe decisions. Which is understandable, given how they're everywhere!

she finally finish her 9th child >.< (her composing song) and someone found out where she took her photos at for her album, one is at outside Koshien Stadium (the same place where she took for her blog photo and those vines wall) the other one her profile pic is somewhere at Harborland
though it may look the same as SL but is totally different place

I hope the covers at least won't be exactly like the promotional pictures, with all that much green in the background. It's fine for me though, as long as Nana will still be the center of attention in the covers. Since on those promotional pictures, she's too close to the wall. It would be too busy for an album cover, in my opinion, but we'll see how it will turn out. As long as it looks like it has a high production level, and that they atleast thought about the design, I'm fine with it. I think that really was the case for 'SUPERNAL LIBERTY'. It's one of the best album designs in my opinion. I'm wishing for something on that level, but I'm not sure if I'm asking for too much. About the tokuten, the outfits on the three promo pictures are really nice, and since I never had any tokuten/pre-order bonuses ever, I will already be satisfied if CDJapan will add a pre-order bonus to go with the album. With Mamoru Miyano's new album, they did a button, so I'm not sure what to expect, or if they even will add a bonus for "SMASHING ANTHEMS". I'd be happy with any bonus, so fingers crossed for it! And like stranger, I also started to think that "Glorious Break" would be a decent title before the title was announced, but I hate it when an album is called after one song that's on it (Don't know why though...?), so I dropped the idea. And yes, only Elements Garden songs we have so far are "Exterminate" and "Glorious Break". I wouldn't necessarily call the album "SUPERNAL LIBERTY" -part 2- yet, but we'll see. I'm now looking very forward to "BRACELET" because of it's strange name, and Nana's 9th child, because of how Nana described it on her blog. (In case people are wondering, I won't be listening to any radio leaks/HQ-leaks. I will only watch the promotional PV for this album and nothing more. I don't want to spoil myself more than that. I want to feel all the new songs to the fullest, when I have the actual copy in my hands. I think it would be much more prettier and meaningful that way. That way, I think this album will have an even bigger place in my heart then "SUPERNAL LIBERTY".)

I really like the description she made of her 9th child lol "something jazzy and different of his other brothers" XD
What you said about Elements Garden Stranger is exactly what I think !! It's quite ironic because thanks to them the career of Nana took a turning point but thanks to Nana they became rather unavoidable and as a result their sounds begins to saturate the anison scene and they have difficulties to provide innovative songs for Nana !!
They are still fairly good when it come to arrange other composer songs but their own compositions are lacking creativity ... maybe it's the time for Nana to move forward to avoid falling into a spiral and find a new team of musical producer ??

or likely that pile of demo cds music was selected for this album and either ask that composer or another person to be the arranger
i think if they cant find the right music for a anime OP/ED or for the lyrics they will ask Elements Garden and it can be the other way round, got the music but need a lyricist to write the lyrics for it, like SAYURI (so far her lyrics....=.=;;;; GUILTY is the worst lol)
but for symphogear is special case, all the songs (including chara songs) were done by Elements Garden

gunsmithcati wouldn't say that she drop them yes for her own songs she and Mishi-P and maybe some others, will select music by listening the demo cd a.k.a sampling music...then you know the rest of it how it works (and i already said she said on the radio she must listen 100+ demo cds so likely some of them are save for the future) but a song related to anime that music is under Element Garden then it has to be by them like i said symphogear songs all the composers/arrangers are under them

From a personnal point of view I would like a true evolution like in the past ... The Toshiro Yabuki era (Supersonic Girl/Magic Attraction/Dream skipper) followed by Alive & Kicking serving as a tranistional album and Hybrid Universe the new Nana sound created mainly by Elements Garden ! Don't get me wrong I still love her music but obviously something is lacking (I only speak about her anime songs not songs like STAR ROAD, Antique Nachtmusik etc...)! Not in term of quality but more in term of originality but it's something global if you ask me within the anison sphere ...composers try too hard to be original with strange musical structure /arrangements but sometime simplicity is the best !

let me correct something in my post, when i say "it has to be by them" what i mean is copyrights issue, if anime's music is done by that company, the singers' songs of the OP/EN also need to be by them, well depend how flexible the company is, if the company dont mind any outside composer/arrangers then ok.
that why i say she didnt drop them as in, she cant drop them due to some copyrights of the anime

I mean, I dunno, I'm really not getting tired of Elements Garden songs at all XD
"Eden," "Shuumatsu no Love Song," "Exterminate" ...I think they've made some pretty great Nana songs this year.

Oh. my. god.
I LOVE THIS. The covers are gorgeous! I must say the CD only-version looks like they didn't put much thought in it's design... but the others are so pretty! At first I wanted the pink hat outfit to be my cover, because I didn't know Nana's hair was like that in the blue dress... Now the blue dress is my favorite, seeing her hair like that makes all the diffirence for me! Glad I'll be getting the DVD edition, since she also smiles a bit on that one.
The DVD-content sounds so awesome, to see the unreleased content. And the songlist! Starts with Glorious Break, ends with Exterminate? Well, at least it's good they seperated them from each other. Wait... Lazy Syndrome?! I didn't expect that at all, but good that it's on it, since it's such a good song. Looking forward to the -Extended Mix- version of Kindan No Resistance! And Netsujou No Maria and Ego Ideal?! Oh my god, I'm just... too excited now. November 11th. Come fast.
