Fukushuu is really the Small Stout Underwater Xylophone.
:-) edit: am I the space alien here that really likes SSAW? Just like a tv network, this album really does have some programming for everyone to enjoy---and hate. Last edited by ShadyNook : 2007.09.25 at 02:18 PM. |

First Press Release Pic
First Press Release Pic Anyone???
I try to order from CDJAPAN because of the 1st press release assurance. But they ask me a lot of requirement from my credit card like recent bill, and copy of it since i use my friends card. Since i don't one to give a lot of problem for friend after using his card and all. I canceled it, and order it from HMV. Until know it still in order process, not in the shipment yet, and I'm not sure i will get the 1st press release or Not. SO FREAKING FRUSTATING ps: And i have to resist the internet leak.ARRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! |

"EVERYTHING IS LOOOVE"!!!!!
Jeeezzzzzz I really loved this album after my first listen. It was mind-bottling . It's a lot better than I expected. I guess all the pessimism here had gotten to me just a bit. The band's sound is so unique and here it is put even more on display. I really agree with the band calling it a "master piece" because as frenetic and all over the place as the instruments sound, I think they found a way to really put it together to fit nicely. I only heard it once so far so I'm not sure where I will rank it amongst the other two albums, but I'm positive that I like it at least just as much as the other two. I'll say more about the specific songs after more listens. It really is an eargasm
I also thought the choruses were very easy to follow along with even the first time listening, unlike OSCA and killer tune which took some getting familiarity with at first (which I guess is why they are such good songs).
I really like this song also. EDIT: Only in Variety could you hear a song like Fukushuu be followed by Boutomin EDIT 2: It's funny that the icon displayed for Fukushuu in the booklet is a mirrorball getting stabbed . I guess it means that it's not more fun and games like Mirrorball was Last edited by HEDOfloe : 2007.09.25 at 04:38 PM. |

Oh, I would forever be in debt to anyone who could remove the guitar solo from Kingyo no Hako successfully (like have the two loose ends blend together or something).
Should I be requesting this elsewhere? |

Good way to dodge my question. Real smoooth.
EDIT: If you are going to say one part of the song is like a weaker part of another, then you should be specific and not generalize a whole song like that. Last edited by HEDOfloe : 2007.09.25 at 05:38 PM. |

My CD came in before lunch, so I I've had time to have a few listens.
Songs I dislike: Mirror Ball - I didn't like it in JCHI and I don't like it now, the chorus is what gets me. Kronekodow - I get that the album has the whole different styles/scenarios schtick going on, but the cartoony sound goes too far for my taste. Boutomin and SSAW - Both have some fundemental quality that rubs me the wrong way, they feel like fleshed out versions of elevator music. Songs I can live with: Ramp - The song's OK, it just doesn't build up to anything, it just is, and therefore I shall let it lie. I don't get what is manly about though. Shiseikatsu - I can see some resemblance to Superstar, and I too think Superstar is better, but I don't get all the hate for this song. It's a good enough ballad, I just don't like ballads much. The chorus reminds me of Kom, susser Tod from the Evangelion movie. OSCA - I initially disliked this song quite a bit, but it grew on me. I got the idea in my head that heavier guitar played similarly to it's current style would have made for a contrast that would have improved the song, oh well. Fukushu - This, like Kronekodow, seems to me like an entry forced too much into the niche it's supposed to have in the album. However, it's played well and I happen to be biased towards this particular sound. Sake to Geko - See Ramp. Songs I like: Kingyo no Hako - This barely made my 'like' list. I enjoyed the guitar, but the organ just sounded out of place. Killer Tune - Another one I was on the fence about for a bit, this one because of Ringo's singing in the chorus. In the end I found that it doesn't really bother me that much unless I'm sitting just listening, giving the song undivided attention. I do like how the music flows, despite little guitar solo. Tsukigime-hime - I'm comfortable with calling this the Sounan of this album. All of the instruments seem to be in their sweet spot and the song sort of adds more layers as it progresses. I like how Ringo's voice briefly goes from slightly whiny and forlorn to dark and aloof right before the chorus. Metro - I knew I would like this just from the preview. I guess it's my guilty pleasure, seeing the other responses to this song. I dig the chill feel, like I should be cruising the freeway at 3 in the morning, or sitting at a lounge sipping a martini with some friends. I like the filter used on Ringo, it works really well for her voice, and I like how the general sound becomes a bit more organic towards the end. Overall, the album isn't bad at all. Though it's got the only examples of Ringo/TJ work, other than Sigma, that I would actively skip on the playlist. |
