Saishu

I’m not going to stop, so feel free to put me on ignore.

I guess their thing when they cover songs is to make them their own, which is fine because I don’t like note for note covers. It doesn’t always work though. This is... fine? I’m mostly just worn out by Shinya’s unimaginative patterns that aren’t doing this any favors. It’s not as radical as Sukekiyo’s cover of Gerbera though. I still haven’t processed that one.

So I guess Taishi is in another band?

Yomi is the biggest asshole in this. Like there’s already a Gianizm collection, dude. What are you doing?

I’m assuming no one in the studio knows how to play bass, and they certainly weren’t going to PAY anyone to play it.

I hope they aren’t using the re-recorded Gianizms

He also chose Gianizm Roku, which is the best of those

Only way they were going to sell tickets

Lol, it’s not as bad as that. Definitely not a high quality release though.

I don’t think stan is the right word for what we’ve been doing for the last week

Also noteworthy is that Ryuya and Taishi still follow Hiroshi on twitter. No one follows Retsu except Hiroshi

What is this now? Did someone else quit?

Just got my physical copy and boy... uh. Okay so the release is actually manufactured by Amazon, which is a new thing to me. The booklet is filled with just promo art we’ve already seen, and the font for the lyrics and such almost looks like it’s blurred from a bad photocopy. No one from the band is credited anywhere. This is the most low budget indie thing I’ve seen in a while

ARCHE isn’t even on Spotify

None of these idiots chose Raison D’etre or Jashin to Bara?

I could just make these playlists myself right now. Why would I need to own these at all?

Funny that Loki was in Sugar and went on to form More. Also don’t forget D.

Also make sure your band name is easy to Google. Don’t make it one letter or a super common word like “Sugar”

The music box intro

Yeah this. You can sometimes hear Sho on the verge of going off the rails, but he can’t because it wouldn’t fit the music at all. It’s almost like he started to cut loose and Retsu was on the other side behind the sound board, wagging his finger.

The entire album is. What’s Up is the only one that stands out because of the math rock elements.

I’m left wondering why they think it’s a good idea to tour overseas behind THIS. And are they going to slap songs like Shigarami and Mad K between all this noodle jangle? How disjointed is that setlist going to be?

Boy, they didn’t even try to get an authentic sounding bass tone did they? It sounds so flat and artificial, and that’s when you CAN hear it.

Looks like Amazon Japan employees have a lot of CD burning to do

I believe Amazon JP also uses FedEx. I usually get my order in less than a week.
