goddamn i had so much fun with this album. the guitar tune sounds good and unique. both of the vocalists have really nice voices and i like how they have very different voices from each other. this album is in japanese, so i don’t really understand the lyrics, but that doesn’t matter because the vibes on this album more than make up for that. even if this isn’t anything groundbreaking, i had a really good time listening to this. i do think it was a weird choice to have 5 out ... read more
So I’ve been on this site nearly 3 years now, and because I’m approaching both my 3 year anniversary and my 200th review, I decided to re-review my first ever review on this site, which was to put it nicely - appalling. Thank you to everyone who has followed me, liked my reviews or even read them! I don’t really look at likes or followers on here but it is always nice to see that people are reading things I’ve written <3

THIS is undoubtedly my favourite album atm. Nothing is quite like King Gnu in their way of sounding jazzy, funky, rocky and classical-y whenever they feel like and sometimes all together.

앨범 분위기랑 사운드가 정말 마음에 드는 앨범 중 하나 입니다
특히 수록곡인 prayer x는 노래의 시작과 끝을 장식하는 충격적인 사운드가 정말 질리지 않을 정도로 좋고 곡에서 느껴지는 잔혹함과 방황하는 느낌은 들을 때마다 마치 바라봐야 할 대상이 사라진 채 두 손끝의 방향을 잃어버린 하나의 신도가 된 느낌을 주어 항상 소름이 돋습니다.
It's pretty good vibe
But for me some moments are a bit too soft
It can be better
But prayer X is a perfect song
