Really good

"This definitely isn't as dark as a lot of their other stuff, but Heaven is an excellent album. I bought this on impulse when I was in Japan, and I love it. I usually hate upbeat songs, but this whole CD is an exception. The CD shows a perfect mixture of what Pierrot is capable of. A sense of wistfulness dominates Home Sick, while their more violent side shows in Over Dose. I hated Automation Air when I heard it the first time, but I love that song now, too. It's not their best, in my opinion, but it's probably the last good CD they've had (outside of Dictator's Circus). A few of the songs come off as annoying at first, but they grow on you after a bit. This CD is a must for any JRock fan."

Gorgeous, lilting, completely perfect.

"The more songs Aiji writes, the better Pierrot gets. Sure, Heaven is lighter and less 'gothic' than Private Enemy, but the memorable songwriting has improved a thousandfold. Each new song sends you to the stratosphere with its sound and melody. 'HEAVEN' kicks the album off beautifully, and it just goes uphill from there. Aiji's guitar practically makes the band; his soloing is truly incredible and original. Standout tracks are the sinfully catchy 'HOME SICK', the unbelievable riffing in 'LOVE & PEACE', and the unforgettable single 'COCOON'. I can't rave enough about this album - it's Pierrot's finest by far."
