Basically just cover songs? 8 original songs and 6 covers.
And to answer your questions: no (well, yes actually), no, and no.

Sayonnara Universe was the first time he used bits from Across the universe. My mom pointed that one out. Just because you guys haven't figured out that the pillows have been ripping people off (including themselves) doesn't mean they haven't. Being influenced is one thing, taking something from someone else in everything you do is something quite different. I don't know if you guys are just refusing to see it, or if you really don't know anything about music, but it's there. Big and bold and in your face. Fuck, I noticed a long time ago that Sawao wasn't writing "tributes" or "referencing" anything. He really just isn't that creative. The fact that the pillows first songs were songs Sawao wrote for a different band should have been red flagged by all of you already. The fact that they use the same ideas (not because they think it's cool) over and over again should be another red flag. When are you guys going to grow up and realize that you're over glorifying a band that in all actuality suck balls?
Not saying I don't like Sawaos puns and the fact that he puts stuff out there that I recognize, because I do. I will follow this band and then Sawao's careers to whatever end. But the fact still remains that the pillows are not what you guys are making them out to be. You can argue this until the day you die, but I'm right on this one. It's so obvious it's fucking painful to watch you guys argue that it's not true.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I think I'm done. Wait, no...hold on...
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Wow. Seriously, bitch about it somewhere else, nobody cares that you think the pillows suck. In the meantime, I'm going to go enjoy some awesome, well-made musical genius straight from the brain of Sawao.

That part especially made me lol. Why even be part of this forum since it's so blatantly obvious you dislike the band. You say you'll follow them to their end, but if you don't like them, then honestly, wtf.
Your not right, your never going to be right, and whatever you want to say to console yourself on thise fact is fine, but don't go slandering the band because you can't come to amends with their music. Go listen to Avril Lavigne. Word on the street is she wants to be your girlfriend. She thinks you need a new one.

I actually happen to know quite a bit about music - theory and history (certainly a lot more than your mother) - so I challenge you to actually point out a blatant musical rip-off.

The fact that both songs have "universe" in the title does not make "Sayonara Universe" a rip-off.

List of things Sawao has ripped off from The Beatles:
1.2.3.4.5.6.7 Days a Week = 8 Days a Week
And Hello! = Hello Goodbye

Slow Down = Slow Down
Colorful Pumpkin Fields = Strawberry Fields Forever
Thank You, My Twilight = Thank You Girl
Yellow Beans = Yellow Submarine
Daydream Wonder = Day Tripper
Rock 'n' Roll Sinners = Rock 'n' Roll Music
My Beautiful Sun (Irene), Heavy Sun (with baby son) = Here Comes the Sun
Lonesome Diamond = Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
I Don't Cry = I'll Cry Instead
Freebee Honey = Honey Don't
Another Morning = Happy Birthday (Sawao: "Happy rebirthday, yeah, oh yeah)
Fool on the Planet = The Fool on the Hill
Sleepy Head = I'm Only Sleeping
Crazy Sunshine = Good Day Sunshine
Oh Darlin' (Spiky Brothers) = Oh Darlin'
I Need Somebody = If I Needed Someone
Goodnight = Goodnight

 she really does need to stfu though
Let's get this thread back on topic, that is, discussing how fucking amazing this new piece of original genius is going to be. I'm looking forward to Across the Metropolis only slightly less than the title track of thisnext single.

 With the exception of Skeleton Liar, yes
Totally agree with that review. I think the only thing holding this song back from breaking [b][color=green][size=200]9.5[/size][/color][/b] is the fact that we've only heard a small sample so far.
