Overall though this album's the weakest of the 3 TJ releases for me; I can't help but get the feeling that this is Utaite Myoli pt 3, every time I finish listening to Goldfish box, I'm expecting Jazz a go go to come on... maybe there's not enough Ringo flavor in these songs -_.-. and like UM, I get the feeling this album's more on the fun side, and not to be taken seriously... I do enjoy Private Life, Revenge, Goldfish, Metro, Killer Tune (minus Uki's accidental solo), and OSCA (minus the vocal in chorus) though, so its not all bad.

Calling Variety "Utaite Myoli pt 3' is an insult to Utaite! Utaite was a mini masterpiece, Variety is a collection of B-sides
