「WORLD END」 is the second Code Geass R2 opening song, and is done by FLOW, the same group that did 「COLORS」 (Code Geass' first opening song).
The song starts out nice and mild, but quickly transits to a faster pace. The song flows (no pun intended) nicely, and at 2:22 to 2:31, where there's a nice bass solo. The vocals are good, but it distracts from the instruments, which is sad, because the instrumental of this song is beautiful. Still a great song, nonetheless.
Included with the single was this book. Inside, there are sketches of some characters, some Knightmares, and, "the original picture of opening movie".This is actually a maxi single, so there are two more songs that came with 「WORLD END」.
The first song, 「LEATHER FACE」 is a much louder song than 「WORLD END」. The electric guitar has a very strong presence in this song. There is some vocal distortion towards the beginning of the song, but this disappears when the song reaches the chorus. A nice touch.
The second song, 「I WILL」, contrasts highly with 「WORLD END」 and 「LEATHER FACE」. It's a mild song, and sounds very... Japanese boy band. ^^; The acoustic guitar is the main instrument here.
It's a nice song, but not very memorable.
