I'm coming into this album from such a sharp angle, I end up spinning off the road like I'm in one of those 'deja-vu' drift vids. A lot of those other bands, I at least had some frame of reference in my musical palette to draw upon. Not so much here, such that it simply doesn't connect for me.Sykoneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327331590042723390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634864082514183828.post-18204007479204850022019-11-06T04:46:33.618-08:002019-11-06T04:46:33.618-08:00Just saw this review.

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor......<br /><br />Alright jaw back on, but I'll still shell shocked by this: "And sadly, I can't give any deeper analysis than that. As mentioned, I simply don't connect to this music beyond the superficial."<br /><br />I mean, damn, you've listened now to quite a number of Japanese language albums, anywhere from mainstream pop (Utada Hikaru) to EDM (Wednesday Campanella) to indie rock (Supecar, Sakanaction), and you've never written anywhere close that quoted line before. Even in Shiina Ringo 1st, less "mature" album, you did't write anything like that. What are the factors in "Shoso Strip" that made you react this way? <br /><br />I do have a number of other questions swirling in my head, but I'll just start with this one right now.<br /><br />-PhiloiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
