Mori Calliope's third album attempts to take a stab at multiple genres in which some she has headed towards in the past, and other not so much well versed in beforehand. The album itself is great at times and decent at others, which kind of tends to be the product of Calliope's work over the years where everyone is going to have their own tastes. For me, its an overall solid, but not a spectacular album overall.

It's just feels bland and average without any realistic attempt at trying to create a unique feel to the song. It just feels like mass produced music if that makes any sense.
I gotta say Chinatown Blues is has quite a unique vibe to it. I was kinda off-put by the vocaloid vocals at first but it did eventually grow on me. Nice summertime feel and ring to it, and quite the solid lyricism and music to back it up.
Mori Calliope's latest release attempts to continue on trying to build her music career with Universal Japan to reach stardom. Her latest album sounds less "Mori Calliope-like" if that makes any sense, and seems to try to cater itself towards a more general audience, which does end up being one of her more solid albums.
