The album's a little different than I expected, but in a good way. The two-disc collection features a lot of Hyadain's works for pop and anime, but because this is _his_ album, many of the songs you might have heard sung by others are instead sung by Hydain/Hyadaruko. Yes, in case you didn't already know, Hyadain performs both male and female vocals in his songs. Many of his web-original parodies are not included (presumably due to rights, and also due to the album's emphasis on his skill as a songwriter.) A couple of guest artists help out on some of the other tracks, creating some new versions of his past hits that aren't available anywhere else. It also adds some variety to the experience.
That's a good thing, because variety is both present and nonexistent on this album; the styles vary from hip-hop to pop to jazz to "I'm not even sure what to call this," but they all definitely sound like they were written by the same person. The only problem with the collection is that it's pretty limited in the same way that "Greatest Hits" albums often are: hearing the same songwriter's best works one after the other often reveals their songwriting style _very_ quickly. Listening to the album in one sitting reveals some thematic allusions (the melody from _Hyadain no Ka-Ka-Kataomoi-C_ is referenced in no fewer than six tracks) but his general chord progressions also start to sound samey at some points. This isn't to say the songs themselves are bad; it's more like realizing that pizzas and calzones are pretty much the same thing.
Overall I'd recommend this to fans of Hyadain's work as a primer to his songwriting skill. Hyadain's remixing and medley arrangement are better represented through his official media channels and videos.
