Led by composer and lyricist Ryo, Japanese pop outfit Supercell ended up impressing me with their second studio album, although "impress" in that context was a gross understatement; honestly Today Is a Beautiful Day is just amazing from start to finish. Nagi Yanagi's vocal performance also helped in that regard. Two years later and without Yanagi's presence, the group released Zigaexperientia featuring Koeda in the previous lady's role. Ryo has been one to inject human emotions into the sounds that he utilizes, and he continues to do so here, albeit in a comparatively direct fashion thanks to Koeda's more abrasive timbre. The highs of this record unfortunately are nowhere near as high as the best moments on Today... and this offering in and of itself tends to be immoderate, but be that as it may, Zigaexperientia is still an overall pleasant album on Supercell's part.
