This is like having a mental breakdown while being at the Wii Sports Resort.

This album was a hard grower on me but has turned into one of the most immersive albums I have rhad the pleasure to listen to. There is something about the delivery regarding the overall message that rmakes it enjoyable and nice to listen to on some aspects, and downright unsettling at other times. It's rgenuine. We all have those little moments where we remember what it was like to be a child, where all rthe negative background noise of life was not present. The times where we let our imaginations go rwild. We view how we were those years ago and how we have changed for better or worse. This ralbum seems to acknowledge the reality of this and is appropriately grounded for what it is. Life goes ron and we grow older, but it's okay to feel down sometimes when we experience this reality. KKB rthinks so.

Where as Generation supplied tongue-in-cheek bubblegum pop that was straight fun to listen to, Time n Place is music both more subdued and more frenetic. Still fun, but more experimental and much less bubblegum. Also of important note - the earnestness found in their previous, bubbly albums?That same earnestness is here in the depiction of depression and generally unwell feelings. Not what fans would expect, but appreciated all the same (if not more).

Bonito go bold on this one, dialing down the overly-cuteness of their debut to bring in guitars and, more importantly, great songwriting. The record ends up being mega fresh because they found the right balance between the cute and banging sides of their sonic palette. I just need a teeny tiny bit more consistency.

Half of the songs are bangers of spatial levels, the other half are slightly disappointing, which makes for a interesting view into one of pop's greatest innovators.

Impressive how Kero Kero Bonito follows up their debut album with a project that is of similar quality, but with a big change in sound. Despite stepping into new sonic territory, they still manage to keep some of the old aesthetics in the songs, which you can notice by the catchiness of the songwriting. My favourite tracks would probably be 'Time Today' and 'Only Acting', which actually blends in much nicer in the tracklist of the EP 'TOTEP', where it's also featured on.

Kero Kero are somehat hit or miss in a short 33 minute runtime with their dreamy, noisy synth/twee pop sound. The three best tracks on the album really show off what the band is capable but also highlight why the album as a whole doesn't really end up being one of the best of the year. Time Today is a laid back, dreamy and bittersweet pop track mostly driven by the vocalist and reserved synth. It paves the way perfectly for Only Acting which is driven by guitars and eventually dissolves in on itself into distorted noise at the end. The last of the trifecta is Make Believe which falls somewhere in between the latter two in terms of style and is a bonafide synth pop hit showing what the band is capable of in terms of melodies, vocal hooks and dynamic songwriting. Beyond those tracks the album is consistently good but on the whole the vocalist is just consistently consistent. There is a marked lack of vocal variation on Time 'n' Place and Sarah basically sticks to a similar timid, mellow approach for the entire runtime hurting some of the in between tracks that just don't have the amazing pace, catchiness and atmosphere of the three mentioned. All in all this album is great with a few truly awesome tracks but on the whole it could use some more variety especially in the vocals.

I couldn't stand what they were doing up to this year, but I don't even find myself shocked over rhow much I love this. TOTEP was perfect, and this falls just the tiniest bit short of that rperfection. Love how the bubbleguminess of the vocals and synths are now used to contrast the rdarker themes and instrumentation, as opposed to making a sickeningly sweet amalgam with each other and nothing elserlike they did on their previous efforts. The lyrics are also incomparably more meaningful, and rkudos for getting rid of the awful japanese pseudo-"rapping" she did on most of their tracks. I'm rkind of a dick for saying this, considering this album does not come from a good place in their rlives, but I hope they keep going this way.
