This was the only C78 Touhou arrange album that impressed me in the crossfade, and that I waited for. Granted, I limited my search on albums containing Double Spoiler arranges, because I wanted to finally get that Nemesis's Stronghold arrange fix I'm waiting for since this game's release. Unfortunately, there were only four (yes, FOUR) arranges of that theme, neither of which impressed me. But what's really making me rage is the fact that this boring fan favorite Infinite Nightmare gets 14 (!), and many of those are pretty decent!
This album doesn't contain Nemesis's Stronghold either. In fact, the Infinite Nightmare arrange, which is the track you're listening to right now, is the track I like the most of this album! Featuring many different "softed-out" genres with alternating vocal and instrumental tracks, everyone should find a favorite.

My absolute favorite of this album. Sometimes there just are songs which may be not that impressing, but are still so brilliant on a conceptional level that it simply shatters everything that came before it.
Maybe it's because this song has somewhat of a stylistic resemblance to Inner Universe, which had a similar effect on me when I first heard it. However, that effect has somewhat lessened (and restored) over the weeks, but it's still an amazing track.
It's also pretty interesting how the three source tracks are mixed. While all three are still recognizable, they are mashed so naturally that it almost seems more like an original song than a Touhou arrangement.
Also, from what I've comprehended of the lyrics, they seem pretty cute... well, until she sings about slaughter and looting...
