Re-view

Well im bored, and i have to eat time somehow until holiday starts...
so REVIEWS of nu singles

first
we have the new MAXIMUM THE HORMONE single TSUME TSUME TSUME/[F]
A really good single, mix of punk and metal growls, which go surprisingly well together in this chaotic single, my favourite song is [F], which begins with a very hard to comprehend barrage of growling, followed by a nice singing part and a classic rapping/growling section from Daisuke. The chorus is really cool singin, pop bass folowed by more growling,the solo is great, i likes what i hears, i always find this band hard to describe, hardcore punk? :S i have no idea lol.

Lets see what else,
Dali - Endroll = meh, typical VK vocals have some nice unpredictability and nice drums but mehworthy.

Ayabie - Mikazuki no kiseki
A nice song, sounds in the same vein as Cubic [L/R]ock, which is good, i like this song, nice jazzy feel, with piano and trumpets(?) good summer tune. vocal wise, typical ayabie, very soft. good chill out. Digital Neverland - i dont like so much, too electropop for me. Hare no hi (fine day) this song i really do like A LOT. sounds like it was made live, the clapping works well. nice high chords, the chorus and lyrics are really well done, the main riff sounds similar to Audrey by Dir en grey, in a very spurious way. Hinageshi - Im not sure what to think of this, one of the more fact paced ones, kind of like Japanese lo-res caramel town. Its alright, guess i just havent given it much of a chance, nice solo too.

J News

NEWS:
MUCC are coming to the UK in October!!! YATTA, albeit its part of the tatse of chaos tour, which has got some crap (emo) bands, but i REALLY wanna see MUCC so ill go n leave when they finish i reckon.

Merry are releasing a new single in august, cant wait for that :D their first retrock single apparently KEWL!
Then theres the new SADIE single "Grieving the dead soul" Which is believe is out later this month, the PV preview is available now and i must say, looking very promising indeed, progress from the sadie boys. what else...
oh yeah, Rentrer en soi have also released a 30second preview of their new single "UNENDING SANCTUARY" which again looks good, but i remain apprehensive at whether its a Stigmata beater, but i cant be more optimistic about their upcoming album, which will hopefully be soon.
Then a few days ago came the motherload.

1. Glass Skin
2. Undecided (remake of the song on Kisou)
3. Agitated screams of maggots -unplugged-
