despise, indifferent, tolerate...
words that I shouldn't have to use for a Shiina Ringo album.

I've only spun it round one time, I don't even feel comfortable enough to write a review yet, but I definitely enjoy it. It took me by surprise because it was just so energetic, not necessarily in a positive energy way, but just the sheer amount of sonic energy being channeled was intense, between the vocals and all the instrumentation. It really makes a ballad like Shun that much better as it allows you to stop and catch your breath. I didn't understand or like KZK on the first listen and yet I love it now. This album is so over the top complicated that it will take hundreds of listens to dissect the tracks into what we like and dislike. But I think most people's confusion and immediate negative reaction will eventually turn positive once they are able to process it.

I just realized I haven't posted anything about my opinion of the album yet.
I haven't had it for long enough to make decisions about each of the songs... but I definitely like the album. Whether it was because of my low expectations, or for the fact it's actually good.. I really like it. Heres to hoping for a mostly electronic follow up album! |

I love it.
somebody mentioned the sheer amount of vocal/instrument layering giving it an intense energy and I really agree. KZK had an organic old-world feel, Variety had a '70s Japanese game show sterility and I think Gossip borrows from those extremes.

How do you dare to compare Sanmon Gossip with Variety!?!? There's no match. Variety is a lot better than this crap!
Obviously joking (even thoght I don't dislike Variety at all) What can I say? I'm really liking this new album. Maybe it's not exactly what I was expecting (those guitars on the cover made me think about something more aggressive and rock), but who cares? |
