"Lining up with prevailing contemporary taste nakashi has outdone themselves this time and redfined the rules behind the bass-driven pop music of america, a hybrid of precision-tooled groove and the flamboyant styles of professional procurers. This album for the first time allows nakashi to take over full reign of their creative abilities and playing; By adding the mysterious mike c into the mix, Slap funk bass-playing and stop 'n' start drum pounding and scored the gospel-tinged background vocals on "was it something', as well as some stirring string arrangements the equation appears complete."

Very remarkable

"With 'bright lights burn out', Nakashi managed to obtain a sound all their own. The fierce guitar work of both Gerald Love and a mysterious Michael C, tear and rip back and forth, while The rhythm brothers pound relentless rock and roll. Like it or not, these guys write hooks and weave inpenetetrable hooks into their music. A definite find for a fan of indie rock like myself, It is a must buy. It's too bad these guys didnt put out a full length because I would only have more great rock to spin when Im stoned at 1am and I want to blast something in my Toyota Tercela."
