"Immensely satisfying music and great lyrics! I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone who already likes Ajikan, to be sure--"Rewrite" is my favorite song on the album, but "Siren" and "Re:Re" (don't ask me about that title; your guess is as good as mine" also definitely stand out. Siren has a fascinating musical arrangement. Absolutely excellent CD. I don't care if you've never heard Ajikan; this is brilliant. ^^"

Asian Kung-Fu Generation...rocks?

"As for me, I am a relative newcomer in this whole J-Rock and J-Pop thing, so I can't claim I am an expert on the subject. Being somewhat sceptical of the whole Japanese rock scene at first (weird..Japanese persons and their wierd rock) this sole album has now made me wanting to buy all Asian Kung-Fu Generation albums and other J-Rock albums at once. I won't say words can't describe the quality of this album, because words certainly can. This album is just great (or 'greatoh!' if you want to mention that with a Japanese-English accent). It's swinging, it sounds good, it makes you want to listen to it all day long, and more. In other words, it will cost one trouble to find a better rock album nowadays, or it has to be one of Gackt's outstanding CDs, but that's for another review.



About the music itself, what can one expect? Well, for one thing, the voice of the leadsinger isn't perfect, and during those few times you don't listen to this album you will wonder what it is that drags you to and trough it again. But even though his voice isn't perfect, it fits the music perfectly, and you wouldn't want it any other way. The music itself is really swinging, not catchy, but it just sounds great. Whether you listen to it as background music while doing something else, or whether you listen to the music itself, plain enjoying it, you will love this album and it never gets irritating or boring, not even after listening to it for 10 times straight, and trust me, I've been in that situation.
