<|Magic Lantern|> Is far from some of Yorushika's best work thus far, fans can expect that signature Yorushika style, but with only <Matasaburo> & <Left-Right Confusion> reaching the same heights as songs like <Ghost in a Flower>, <Spring Thief> and <Thoughtcrime> Yorushika struggles to continue to elevate their discography to the standard some fans may have come to expect.
their weakest work
it's fine, yeah, but i wish we could get more pre-elma yorushika
upd.: Algernon and Matasaburo are actually so good
Kind of just your above average jpop album. The production is pretty good, but there’s a good amount of skips on it. The songs I do have added are pretty good, have good production, and decent vocals. I like how the album splits into two different lead singers on some songs, and both are pretty good. Overall, decent album, don’t come back to it often, but it’s decent.
Yorushika Deep Dive No. 7
Now THIS is a proper return to form. Bangers littered everywhere, some of N-buna's best work and Suis sounds as angelic as ever. Miyakoochi is really good and Bremen is really groovy dance-rock song, but it really starts hitting with Chinokate. One of their best chorus with the production to match. Howl at the Moon is also great, but then comes 451, one of the most confusing album inclusions ever. It effectively splits the album into pre 451 and post 451, it is ... read more

I got reminded of an interview where n-buna and suis talk about Miyakoochi (an already sophisticated piece with the implementation of Waka poetry), and how n-buna embedded several Japanese locations throughout the song through the means of wordplay. I thought that was pretty ingenious, like not many Japanese would even notice these details let alone a foreigner. The thing is, it fit the context of the song as well, not just some obscure easter eggs randomly thrown in for the sole purpose of arousing curiosity. And honestly, I thought ppl who disregard these pieces as nothing burgers without knowing the contexts are just everything that's wrong with the current landscape of music criticism. Point is, subjectivity could only go so far.
