But as much as I like the song,  I do agree that Fuzzy isn't a stand out song and it's just Scandal playing it safe.

The instrumentation is really cool, the bass and guitars stand out here to me. And like with the last single, it gives me Honey vibes, it kinda reminds me of Platform Syndrome with some emo-ness from OVER. I think Scandal is establishing their signature sound now after the departure from SONY

The music video is cool, it started off with a 90's vibe, with the colors, clothes, and the props, but then the smartphone came up and the vibe was over lol. It is a bit more of a dark and emo style, especially that ending, and with the girls wearing black, punk goth like clothing. Which I realized they shot this when they did the 2nd promotional shoot a while back.

I wouldn't say that... Their general direction over the past few albums has been great, and I've definitely said that here before. There's nothing wrong with the intent of this song, or the sound; the songwriting just isn't quite there for me. It's just missing something, and isn't as satisfying as most of their best songs for me.

I definitely would not say they need a change of direction or sound. I like what they're doing recently in general. But not every song is going to be equally good.

I think you probably feel the same way.

I'm not worried about the album that's hopefully coming. In a way I just want it more now, because I can't wait to hear the other songs on it. I still need my new Scandal fix.

Edit: I'm also kind of disappointed that it's just a digital single with one song. If it was a real single with a b-side and some extra stuff, I'd probably still buy it. But I'm not sure it's worth paying even a small amount for one song that's probably just going to be on the album.

Track 9 on their next album maybe, but not a single. 

Still love the band.

Anyway, MAMI seem to be underrated as a guitarist even among her own fans. She is often compared to guitarists that play a number of notes per second. But MAMI, like no other, puts emotions into her playing. That is why she is such a great musician.

Ngl, I don't think Fuzzy is a stand-out song. And based on the song's overall popularity, the Sony folks were probably right when they predicted it wasn't gonna be a hit.    But I guess Scandal has reached a point in their career where their own creative expression is more important to them than making money.

Even the song itself can come across surprisingly fresh in a live performance.
I never liked the MV at all.. like are we supposed to accept that this girl drowns herself in the tub because of a summer BF who turns out to be a jerk? gagg...

Yeah haha. The ending was too sad and it's not a SCANDAL thing. The girl being drowned.
