Cruel World | 7 (I really liked the instrumentation but I thought the lyrics were kind of childish)
Ultraviolence | 2 (Lyrics aside [which I don't have much of an issue with], this song is a chore to listen to. I'm not really fan of her vocals here and I personally feel like more could have been done, instrumental-wise, given the song's lyrical content)
Shades Of Cool | 2 [Lyrics sound like she wrote them back in elementary school. The mixing in this song was trash]

It has been years since I’ve listened to this album in its entirety…

Born to Die | 8 (I really like the production and mix of this song. Her singing is kind of inconsistent throughout the song but it’s not overly distracting)
Off To The Races | 2 (Lana’s singing leaves a lot to be desired here. The mix is bad too. Overall, this song is pretty awful and its length doesn’t help it either)
Blue Jeans | 8 (Lana’s SNL performance of this song still haunts me to ... read more

This should be a lot of fun...

The Explanation | NR (Using this monologue as the intro for the album was a choice…)
Jocelyn Flores | 7 (I really liked the instrumentation of this song. The lo-fi aesthetic really works here)
Depression & Obsession | 1 (This was bad. The instrumentation sounds like something you would hear from one of those YT vids of girls singing hip-hop songs with a guitar from the early 2010s. The backing vocals were borderline cringeworthy)

I have so much love for Chakra's debut album. Although it's not as quirky or artsy compared to Satekoso, the tracks on this album truly do have a place in Charka's discography. 東京スウィート is probably my favorite song of theirs.

An absolute must listen for City Pop fans. The production is terrific and ahead of it's time, Tomoko's vocal range and talent are top-tier, and the album artwork is fire.

Pretty solid album by Macross. By the time of this album's release, I was outgrowing my Future Funk / Vaporwave phase but I did enjoy this album at the time. Overall, it's a decent Future Funk album and a worthy successor to SAILORWAVE.

CHAM! is a bloated album with a couple of classic Macross tracks, some truly awful songs (e.g., "A Lot of Pretty Girls" and "Dark City"), and a number of fine but forgettable tracks.
