Super good album!! Loved it!

First of all, The started and closer of this album were perfect, and fit their positions very well. They also did a great job of making the transitions work and sound good. There were some small parts where the production could have been better in my opinion, but they didn't bother me, or make the song lose points, as those parts were so small and probably unnoticeable. Loved the storytelling on this album too, they clearly had personal experience which I hugely ... read more

This is the only actually good Mindless Self Indulgence album, and the last one I am going to review. Sadly, they really went downhill from here ( don't confuse the release date with when these were made ), and this album screams wasted potential to me. There was passion, a theme, a thing to actually criticize! Which I liked. Especially because the theme was so heavily based on religion + religious trauma.

But on a musical level, I enjoyed how Jimmy actually sounded good on this, the vocals ... read more

Genuinely hated this, the lyrics were kinda cute? But the melody and the instrumental was horrible. I know this was probably a joke but it triggered my fight or flight ( flight btw ).

But super good job on the tuning! Keep it up!

Pretty chill song. Didn't enjoy the vocal-type samples? Also kind of a weird track to me. I liked the summer evening type atmosphere I got from it though!

Nothing super special. Just a syudou song, I wouldn't consider it a banger as the vocals were more chill than usually, and the lyrics weren't my cup of tea. Sometimes the vocals faded weirdly, not intentionally I don't think. Instrumental was okay too. Sorry, a bit of a nothing burger.

I was holding my head in my hands the whole time while listening. This sucked, and is probably their worst album, at least from which ones I've heard. There was like one okay song, and the rest of it was either forgettable, or just too offensive. I was literally mouth open reading some of the lyrics or listening to some songs.

I also don't like Jimmy's attitude towards old school rap, as if he was on the same level or even better than those artists who literally are like 100% better than ... read more

sorry guys, this just bangs

I loved the religious references, and I think this song at some points really is doing a good job of putting in words what it is like to be a celebrity, especially an idol. The choir part may be my favorite part ( literally got the chills ) with the chorus, even if the chorus isn't the strongest one I've heard.
Negatives are that the rapping at some points was super clumsy in my opinion and I don't really see how it fits this theme. At least it sounds good at the start. Also the song felt ... read more

I feel like this album should have been released earlier since they sing so much about Christmas, but that's fine!! This was cute. A bit boring after a while since I don't really listen to this type of music as much. Super cute tho. It had a clear image to every song and the songs sounded like their names, which is always a plus. There was some odd placement of songs on the album, but it worked okay.

Really, an eight out of ten album if I've ever seen one

THIS WAS GREAT! Short and sweet, it felt like time just flew by with this album. The songs were easy to listen to, and felt so sparkly, starry and blue, I loved it! There were only two songs that I didn't like, mostly because of the samples DJ Genki decided to use. But otherwise great! Also this was very good music for background while drawing. Also I think it's noteworthy, that I am not good with japanese, so when some songs have lyrics, I really don't review that part of the song, even though ... read more

It's been a long time since I listened to this album, and I was actually really positively surprised by the three first songs, since it didn't sound awful like their earlier albums. Those songs had less of that awful electronic music that they use in most of their songs. Also those songs didn't have that awful rapping Jimmy tries to do.
But, alas, my happiness didn't last long. The fifth song was really the start of the horrible end of the album. Too much gross, weird, questionable lyrics, ... read more

I am pretty tired but will try not to make this review short because of that. I loved the theme of this album, and the message. I love this type of theme enjoyable in any artistic media I consume. The picture I get from the sound and lyrics is clear and I love it! The only bad thing about this album really is that some vocal effects are a bit silly, and the vocals might hurt a bit after listening to the whole album straight. But I definitely put like, almost all of the songs in my playlist! I ... read more

This album didn't feel connected, and more like a messy compilation of songs. Many of the songs were too long and repetitive, and overall the sound of the songs is super outdated. Also noticed that a lot of the songs take heavy inspiration from other, and better, bands and artists. Many of the songs were super gross and Jimmy comes off as a sexual deviant ( well, I mean, isn't he? ). Anyways, this sucked. Self-pity is not attractive, especially when you are a kid liker.

Nothing mind blowing but still very good, especially as drawing background music. Positive sides are that the noises are very pleasant to my ears and the songs have kind of aquatic and/or starry feeling to them, which I love in music! Negatives mostly are just that I would have preferred for some songs to be shorter than almost 4 minutes.

Best songs ( 1 = Best )
1. P ( 9/10 )
2. Issei! ( 8/10 )
3. Lotus Layne ( 8/10 )

Worst songs ( 1 = Worst )
1. Cocorico ( 5.5/10 )
2. BIG MUNITIONS ( 6.5/10 )

I really value when song titles sound like the song. And AZALI is great with that. There was maybe one or two that didn't feel so connected to the title. Another good thing about AZALI's music is, that it doesn't overstay it's welcome. I appreciate how short the songs are. Their music would be a great soundtrack, and the songs give me clear image of scenes/scenery and atmosphere!

Best songs ( 1 = Best )
1. game over ( 10/10 )
2. CORRUPTED AUTOMATA ( 9.5/10 )
3. desert winds ( 8/10 )

Pretty boring ( so much so that sometimes it was hard to focus ) and started to hurt my head to be completely honest. I would say this would be okay if it was background music in some store or something but I would not voluntarily listen to this album. Maybe like 1 or 2 songs are very good yes, but otherwise. Very disappointing since their other music is good. On some songs there were noises that I didn't enjoy at all, especially the weird baby/kid noises on the later songs.

This is one of the best of Deco's recent works, at least for me. I like the faster style of it, and it makes me want to listen to it on loud volume. Really, I can't find anything to complain about. Yeah, I admit that there must be some technical stuff that I am not noticing. But for me, this song is a banger.
The lyrics are also good, and in my opinion they might be like a critical view of dating culture? Just hooking up, having few dates with people you don't even like that much or find that ... read more

It's been a long time since I listened to this album and for some reason I remembered it to be just decent, so I was surprised how bad it was to me now. This album didn't sound good, maybe the instrumentals were okay but they were unnoticeable from behind the awful lyrics and vocals that weren't that good. At least the album didn't bore me to death but I can't give it mercy since it's not so bad it's fun and it seems like these songs were made unironically.

Positives: The instrumentals weren't ... read more

I listened to this in one sitting and I think this isn't an album suitable for that, except if you are going to sleep. The negative points I have to say about this album are the repetitiveness, so some songs took damage to their rating because of that. Another thing is, I didn't like the vocal samples, at all. Not my cup of tea.
Positives were that the songs had a good flow and are easy for the ears. I love the bass on the songs too!! The athmosphere was dream-like, which I love in ... read more

Great song! Not the best Deathbrain has made but still a good listen.
