no one is saying that about this album at all. There was negative backlash to HF even spread amongst the fan base because of the use of older music, but the reception to this album has been mostly positive with the exception of some of what I have seen on these forums. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but don't make the mistake of thinking yours is the only. Variety definitely earns its stripes and I think if your disenchanted with it you probably will be just as disenchanted with whatever comes next, be it TJ or Ringo. |

Really? You really think so? I'd say it's "turbulently mixed" at best.
If the next album isn't some lame gimmick (other than perhaps to produce quality music with some soul) I will warmly open it, so long of course the music doesnt suck in spite of the hypothesis.

I think "Fukushuu" is the only real flaw with the album. It doesn't even sound like Tokyo Jihen. Even when I try to overlook the extremely distasteful style of the song, I struggle to find anything remotely redeemable. Though I will say that it improves a bit closer to the end.
But COME ON, it's like EVANESCENCE or something. I was walking to work this morning listing to Variety, and every track was just sounding supremely epic (even "Mirrorball" sounded good...it's a good walking track because you have more patience to put up with the track's relatively stagnant structure)--just SO GOOD. Numerous shivers were had. Then I got to "Fukushuu" and it was like I stepped in dog shit. I really made me feel like a giant tool listening to that thing. I thought it might have been possible for Tokyo Jihen to tackle such a genre, but it turns out that not even the talented, inspired TJ can polish a hopeless ball of dung into a gem. What about the track has the Tokyo Jihen character? I wonder. I don't blame Uki, though, because I think it's pretty obvious that the band (or someone...) wanted to have a track to attract their old fans--the ones who were teenagers when Shiina was solo. "Uki, make a song with angsty guitar wailing." It's also SMACK in the middle of the album. Damn. I've never been a "playlist" guy and I don't really believe in deleting songs from an album, but I just can't imagine this track ever working out for me. I guess that counts as my review of "Fukushuu." I will to force myself to bear the stench in search of some sort of glimmer of quality, but there's really not much to sift through. All the other tracks are so detailed and layered that I can't see them growing old...ever really. Whoever said that "Fukushuu" is the only track he likes...you just made my list. |

Ok Tsuchiya. Really now, lets stop with the elitism. If is not "what japanese music do you like" its this "lolz kids" stuff.
/to your second to previous statement

Yeah, see, they start eerily similar, they build up eerily similar, the guitar solo ending is similar and the song pretty much ends the same. So yes, serious.

Jihad, it's okay, we'll still like you if you admit to enjoying a song by the band that this board (you know, the one you have 10,000 posts on) is dedicated to. |
