No way, man. This album fucking rocks. It's so noisy and energetic and lively and high-wire and even when it gets to the point of cacophony, the melodies are so straight-forward and just beautiful. Gunjou Biyori, Nyuusui Negai, Sounan, Crawl, Genjitsu wo Warau, Service, Omatsuri Sawagi and Bokoku Joushou are some of the best Tokyo Jihen songs in terms of writing, playing and singing.
I've been so conflicted with this Education vs. Adult debate that my head's rattling. I think I lean slightly more towards Adult because I loves me the jazz, but Education (to me) is just as jazzy as Adult with more filters and obfuscations. The writer over at
Musicwhore has described Ringo as an incredible jazz writer on more than on occasion and I really couldn't agree more.
I need to go back to sitting on the fence.
(But Variety still sucks mondo big-time.)
