I reviewed it. I mean everything I say here, even if it sounds hyperbolic. Listen to the damn thing if you don't believe me.

You gave it a spin? Last I checked it was nowhere (online) yet...
This sounds really silly and a bit wtf to me given the vocalists range... No one would even question that. Can't sing???What are you listening to? I feel a little confused. You are definitely talking about Gomi right? It's a damn great rock album. Those hooks, that production. The classic sound. The hell.

Yea I can't stand her voice
EDIT: Just realised it was -nama-gomi that I listened to. At any rate I checked out some of the studio stuff on Youtube which is marginally more tolerable I guess. Last edited by gekokujyo : 2016.05.08 at 03:56 AM. |

OK.
Nama-Gomi is not remotely as good, it's not very well recorded at all. It's basically a bootleg. But I like it personally. You're seriously the first to say anything about it so it really wasn't a thing I'd thought about. I take Bokutachi as the whole package; as a group. And her voice is perfectly fitting everything they do.

It's probably a time and place thing. It just feels like everything new I've heard from Japan so far this year has been some variation on a nasal female vocalist shrieking her lungs out. I don't doubt there's probably a lot more subtlety and nuance that differentiates between each act but it's hard to hear beyond that. Maybe in a few years time I will have the palette for something like this again. Right now my ears are craving something smoother and less.....busting the nuts out with crack.

These style of Female vocals ARE Japan to me though. All the life changing stuff I've come across have been in that higher register. At least when we talk modern stuff. I'm not denying smoother vocals can be great too, but they're usually attached to generic r n b stuff (a genre that barely ever catches my attention) in Japan nowadays unfortunately.
It may change but right now, for me, all the interesting Japanese stuff has vocals you're not fond of.

Yeah I worded that badly. (I'm quite drugged up on some meds atm- would not wish on anyone) but you did get what I meant to say right?
