Linkin Park co-vocalist Mike Shinoda was also involved with production on "Eye Of The Storm", the band having met Shinoda in studio while working on their previous album Ambitions.

Moriuchi invited her to work with the band during a chat they had after the concert, involving Bennington's friendship with Kiiara and moving forward after his death. Īmerican pop singer Kiiara was brought on as a guest feature for the album, having met Moriuchi at the tribute concert for Linkin Park's late vocalist Chester Bennington. Moriuchi wanted to be "a positive force for Asian-Americans" after moving to the United States in 2015. He was asked to make a video about "the Asian American experience" by the Japanese band. The video for "Stand Out, Fit In", directed by Peter Huang, was praised for its portrayal of how peer pressure affects Asian American youth. The second single "Stand Out Fit In" is about not giving in to peer pressure. I was just making music, not only rock music". He stated "Rock’n’roll is a lifestyle for me, not hard music, but universal - that’s why this album is super different.

Moriuchi expressed a desire to create a positive album that took influence from a variety of sources, Queen being the most dominant one, but also musicals and Disney. The very first time I heard this one was kinda embarrassing gaaaaah.Vocalist Takahiro Moriuchi stated that the band "challenged and pushed ourselves to try new things while still maintaining the essence of what our band is" on the album. Nobody's Home - This song's very personal to Taka, but it seems like a lot of the band's fans can relate to it.This is one of the album's must-listen tracks. It's a song about life living it to the fullest everyday and that's what I really like about it. The title is translated as Incomplete Symphony. Mikansei Kokyokyoku (未完成交響曲) - A pure Japanese track of this album.Adult Suit (アダルトスーツ) - I'm not really a fan of this song, but whenever I hear this one I always find myself singing to the lyrics to the point of giving me an LSS.Riot!!! is one of my faves and it did kinda remind me a bit of Paramore. The song's almost an English track of the album. Riot!!! - Riot!? Isn't that an album of Paramore? LOL XD I'm also a die-hard Parawhore haha! This track will really make you get up and dance.A must-played song on a wedding, after all this song was written for Taka's friend who was about to get married at that time. I really find this one very touching, romantic, and sweet.

Taka really knows how to move people's hearts through his lyrics. This one's really popular to non-Japanese fans because it's about 3/4 of the song is in English. Wherever You Are - This album's ballad.Gotta keep those heads bangin' while listening to this. Liar - The whole song's about expressing your anger and hate about that certain person who lies to you.Anyways, the musicality is really good with this track. Jibun Rock (じぶんROCK) - This song is one of their popular tracks in this album, but not really one of my favorites.But it's an upbeat track which makes OOR so irresistible. Shake It Down - Not a fan of this track really.The tune is very cheerful, but kinda like an anthem, and cheesy, especially on the chorus: "Say my name, I'm gonna take my chance to change your heart." And whenever I hear this, that's all on my mind haha! That's the best way to describe this track. Konzatsu Communication (混雑コミュニケーション) - Like a high school rebel.The words " This is my own judgement! Got nothing to say!" is just - umm.a lot! Most of the lyrics are in English also and I guess they really put a lot of effort on that just to relate to fans all over the world, because this song is all about taking the dream.

The emotion, the melody, the lyrics, the music, and everything on it is perfection. There's a bit of a history in this song according to some sources, and whenever I hear this one, I can really feel the band's effort in continuing their music.
