4.4 superb | Erwann S. STAFF | August 21st 19 | J-pop done by a girl who doesn't hesitate to rap/speak really fast or add some post-hardcore vibes. Awesome. If you wanna know what the cool kids will listen to in 5 years, give this a listen. And if you wanna listen to some Japanese music that doesn't sound "too" Japanese (u coward), this might be a perfect gateway. I never thought I would need this album, but now I do.

4.0 excellent | Bedex | December 18th 19 | Great distorted (noise) J-pop J-rock which could have been annoying but really is quite the opposite. A lot of catchy moments, scarce weak moments, and cool ideas all over the place. The end is where the album falters. The three remixes are quite boring to annoying except the third one's second half, but I don't count them here. 10 is catchy but also has meh bits. 11 is the softest sounding (albeit still upbeat) bit of the album, which is a welcome break, but the track doesn't build up too well. 12 feels like an unnecessary track and the first real flaw in the album, 13 has cool math-rock bounce inthe beginning and a male guest voice which is fine I guess, but it gets a bit much and end up being annoying. And that's a shame because it is the album finale, since 14 is a silent track. Before that the album is bouncy track after catchy track, with varying levels of noise rock heaviness, sweet basslines, synthy goodness, and vox that really work. The only weaker points are the zzz interludes I'd say. Hard to pinpoint jams, but 2 and 4 would be a first pick - her screams on 2 got me really going. Overall 4.0

3.0 good | cjbizzlebizzle | October 22nd 18 | J-pop infused heavy on the synth and infused with some noise, rock and hip hop elements and a quirky and energetic atmosphere. The first few tracks are really good, catchy and worth revisiting over and over again. The latter parts of the album and the bonus remixes are less memorable and are a step down from the beginning making the album feel like it drags on a bit even for only 48 minutes. Some of this stems from the fact that Haru really doubles down on using a similar singing style and melodies for most of the album and the production is a bit dry lacking a lot of depth. The synth work on the whole is interesting and brings a lot of variation to the table and Haru does do good sometimes to integrate screams and yelling but it is too seldom. Worth a few listens for a nice blend of J-pop and noisy rock but the majority of the album isn't catchy or memorable enough to make this stick around for that long.

4.5 superb | SirArthur6 | August 28th 18 | After reading through the a lyrics translation of this album, this album is even better than I thought it was. Close to calling this album of the year.
