In preparation for mail

I just love it when the postman comes each morning, especially when im waiting for mail, this morning was no exception, i heard the bang of the spring loaded finger trap we call the mail flap in our front door and jumped out of bed to see what, if any mail was for me, and what a bounty today, i got my new Japanese dictionary, huge thing it is, for university and also my CD that i ordered from Amazon, Shinjuuka by Kagerou (their best of album), i always liked this band, then they disbanded, i spotted this gem on amazon for only £8.99 with 30 tracks on 2 CDs thats a bargain by any standards.

So i thought id give my review:

Kagerou - 心中歌 (Shinjuuka - Suicide song) [Best of Album]

To be quite frank this is one of those marmite bands, you either love them or hate them, if you haven't heard them before this is the best place to start, a mixture of fast paced punk songs to driving ballads this is a varied album.
As a best of album this album is true to its word, this truly is probably one of the best selection of their songs you could choose. A mix of all of their most famous songs, "wrist cutter" "XII Dizzy" and "Kogarashi"; their unreleased rare and B-sides such as "sakurakurakura" and even a new song "Ichirin no Aoku" which is absolutely amazing. there is the odd song perhaps that you might not like, but in a compilation of 35 SONGS theres a little something for everyone.
8.9/10
