[The Great Album Debate] ONE OK ROCK: 感情エフェクト vs 人生 x 僕=

[doombox 4421]

We're baaaaack! This time with a band hellbent on world domination, ONE OK ROCK!

It's been 10 years since OOR stepped on the scene and they've been rockin' pretty hard since.

We're pitting 2 fan-favorite albums against each other today so prepare to weigh in!

 

感情エフェクト     vs     人生 x 僕=   

                

 

Which one is your favorite and why?

[saishuu 3220]

Kanjou Effect, no question about it.

 

OOR was a big favorite of mine from their early works until 2011 (Zankyou Reference). I had songs from them mark certain moments of my life and all those generic things. Part of their charm was that, while they never tried to not be a mainstream band, they always kept some sort of rawness and vulnerability that was somewhat endearing. But after 2011, they got super popular and turned to a more polished, less raw stadium-rock sound that just can't compare to the music they released during their prime. I don't blame them for doing it, but no matter how much I try, I can't get excited about their music as I used to. So yeah, that's my vote.

人生 x 僕= because most of the songs on it are also included in my overall favorite OOR songs. It also makes me feel really calm when I listen to it for whatever reason lol.

[DeithX252 1266]

only 3 albums that I like from OOR: 感情エフェクト, niche syndrome, and zankyou reference. After that, I didn't listen to them anymore, the reason is same as saishuu said.

 

Jinsei X Boku is very weak. the rawness and their energy they usually have disappear. I suggest they changed name to ONE OK POP
