評価が５段階しかないので星４つにしたが、本音は星３つ＋αという感じだ。最初は確かにピンと来なかった。しかし、カーステでエンドレスで流しているうちに、印象が変わってきた。具体的にいえば、9、10、11、12などが佳曲だということが分かってきた。 ただし、「Electric Surfin' GO Go」や「Coelakanth is Android」のようなパンチのある曲が少ないので、初心者向きではない。シングル2、3も悪くはないが、上記に比べたらフックがない。そのため、ベスト盤か、前作、前々作辺りを聴いた上で、それらが気に入れば購入したらよいのではないか。 また、余計なお世話かもしれないが、このバンドはアルバム発表間隔が短いので、ここらで少し間を開けて、よい曲を作る体勢作りをした方がよいと思う。 ……大人の事情が許さないのかな。
Well worth the long wait for new material from this brilliant band. They are a gem of a music discovery. I love the fact that the song lyrics are included and IN ENGLISH (along with some of the singing). This release finds a more refined and adventurous Polysics band. The songs here are all great - not a bad cut, some are down right amazing.A great value for your money with 14 great songs, each giving something different than the others. More Kraftwerk inspired here, but in a good way. Great musicianship.
My favorite cuts are Pretty Good - Classic Polysics song Pony & The Lion-I dare say Polysic metal?? Great song & guitar work. Arigato-My favorite track, a nice Polysic rap song, amazing dynamics and climax. Digital Coffee - my other favorite song, kind of Devo influenced with a dash of Lightning Bolt = great results Dry or Wet - great bass work & bass sound
My only complaint is there less of the outstanding bass playing in the mix that was in their older material or it is mixed lower in the mix. Still has some great bass work, when featured and when featured, at least spot lighted.
The singing is much more adventurous here trying new types of singing without going out of their vocal range or style.
