As you ride on your steed, you find a mystical lake in the middle of an otherwise colorless, vacant forest. One of the lake's contents is, weirdly enough, Chandelier by Japanese rock act Plastic Tree. Intrigued and tempted to spot the material's secrets, you dive into the water and grab onto the album. Fortunately enough, you're left without a feeling of regret, for Chandelier boasts strong musicianship and an alluring vocal performance from Ryuutarou Arimura. Songcraft-wise, this record isn't dreadful in that area, either; "Ghost," "Namae no Nai Hana," and "cage for rent" are prime examples of what Plastic Tree are capable of as far as compositions go, although the more hard-hitting tracks like "Hate.Red Dip.It" are executed with some caution, too. I find myself ambivalent towards the production quality, but regarding J-rock music releases in general, the mixing isn't terrible.

The follow-up to Cell, while not without it's blunders, is definitely worthy of it's predecessor. While still mainly driven by the melancholic sound of Ryuutarou's voice; generating much heavier sounds on the song "Ghost" and yet maintaining the catchy hooks and melodies that Plastic Tree are known for, Chandelier is definitely worth a listen.
