What a quintessential kayoukyoku album!

It's definitely a lot tighter than VARIETY, to anybody who is concerned. 'ikiru' is probably my favourite new track (are those the guys in the band harmonising?!). I am gonna confess that I have trouble recalling the rest of the songs even though I have the impression of them being really awesome ("Wow, this is really good!") when I'm listening to them. I'm gonna attribute this to the fact that I've had less than 10 hours of sleep across the last 3 days, so I've really been lingering on the edge of dreamland on the bus while I listened to this.

I know this sounds like a really cheap way of describing the album, but I do feel on many levels that this is a nice synthesis of their first 3 albums - it has the grittiness of Kyouiku, the restraint and precision of ADULT, and the whimsy of VARIETY.
