Like many other i discovered this band because of the great tarentino movie 'kill bill'. A lot of people would know the song 'woo hoo' as it is played during one of the scenes and i've seen people around my school randomly singing 'woo hoo, woo hoo hoo' just cause it's so damn catchy! They are a japanese all girl band and as far as i know they are even quite well known there. It's a straight up rock 'n roll band with hillarious lyrics even though they are not trying to be funny. Their japanese accent makes them hard to understand but then again.. you don't listen to this music for the message. It's fun, loud, fast rock music too show your friends.
Back to the album, this album has rediculously many tracks. 27 to be precise. I think it's a little too long for a track by track review so i'll just pick out some songs that i really like.
1 - Bomb The Twist
Starts of with some loud hyperactive clapping and drums. Then a count down and after that back to rock 'n roll. Fast, japanese accent shouts, clapping, weird backup vocals. Gotta love it! It even has a guitar solo and everything. 4/5
3- Three cool chicks
A slower song. Still really catchy and cool. Short song, only about 2.30. That doesn't mean it should be longer though, it gets boring quite fast but it's different from the previous tracks so it's fun. Nice song. 4/5
4- Guitar Date
Starts of with a guitar. Then the song starts and it's back to the great fun rock 'n roll we saw in the first track. 4/5
5- Woo Hoo
A song that the people might know. It has no lyrics only the singer singing 'woo hoo, woo hoo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo hoo' fun song to listen to and super catchy. 4.5/5
9- Smilly Willy
This song has some trumpet (or something, i'm not good with those kinds of instruments) and with back up vocals that remind me a little of the beatles. But on the whole this is one more catchy rock 'n roll song. 4/5
10- Mr. Lee
Starts of with singing. Then the instruments come in and what a fun song this is. It's quite fast and catchy and yay. Yes, it's 'yay'. 4.5/5
11- It's Raining
Oh wow, i laughed when this song started. Starts of with people saying 'drip drop drip drop' and then the lead singer singing 'it's raaaainyyyyy' Hillarious. Very slow song. Nice song. 4/5
13- My Boyfriend from Outer Space
This song is weird. It just is really really weird. Same kind of song as the rest but with weird high guitar intro. Weirdness all around. 4.5/5
16- Scream
Oh my lord. This song is like the others but it has constant screaming on the background. How very creepy. 3.5/5
18- Bond girl
Starts of with the bond theme, every body knows that. And then goes into a rock 'n roll song but not just like any other. It's a little different, not sure why though. 4/5
22- The 5, 6, 7, 8's
Yes, they made a song about themselfs. And yes that is quite weird. It actually starts out with them singing 'the 5,6,7,8's!' Does that make sense? no. Don't listen to this cd if you want music that makes sense. It's good for what it is. 4/5
27- Blue radio
This song is that last on the album. It's slow, it's almost emotional in a weird unusual way. The singer sounds like she's in some sort of pain. Weird indeed. After 2 mins the very soft distorted guitar takes over and it ends with one mayor guitar solo i guess with random shouts and screams on the background. Just as weird as the rest of the album. 3.5/5
Overal this is just a FUN album, don't expect anything else then just funny easy rock 'n roll cause it just isn't more then that. Even though the lyrics are in english you probably won't understand a word. Fun band to listen to when your in the right mood but not everyday music. The tracks i didn't review are a lot like the others but nothing special. Fun cd, i'd give it a 4/5
