Yeah for sure. So much energy and produced perfectly, that guitar, distortion, those hard hitting drums, all great.

Gonna have to pass that on to Fripp for getting me to check this and Answer after I got into Highvision - might well have got stuck spinning that forever otherwise! Starting to get pumped to round up their middle albums, just need to get through a few more 2010s catchups and then I'm gonna crash out in style with them

if you guys don't mind instrumental stuff similar to this style, try Technicolor. they're like space rock + electronic

Damn, if stretch from Shibuya Morning through Everybody on News had been cut I think this'd be one of the easiest 4.5s ever

I still like those tracks but I know what you mean. I think this might be my fave Supercar by now though.

Omg that's very :'[ agreed. A beaut of a track. The Japanese have such a great ear and eye for melancholy feelings, you notice this in music, games, movies, etc.



Just had to bump this up .5, it is too good.

Hmm yeah it's interesting, that - I think a lot of it has to do with the way a lot of Japanese works are less shy of and more successful in melodrama than modern Western stuff - doesn't seem to go for the same pinch of salt as we do. It's easy to say that having had my whole life to build up a sense of cynicism to western stuff both melancholic and melodramatic, but I think it gives Japanese stuff an extra sense of conviction in that regard



Also nice bump whoop whoop!! Probably gonna follow suit at some point

Yeah they've got a bigger sense of sincerity about them or something. Or at least it doesn't feel as sugary sweet as melancholic stuff in our region usually feels. Or they mix it in with something else, like nostalgia for instance.

Bump for Recreation being generally one of the best tracks and Answer not having a thread

Kinda fancy doing another Supercar review vaguely soon - Jump Up?

Oooh yeah, they deserve it. That's such a fun one, might be the way to go I think. Or perhaps Answer itself? It would give a sense of closure but at the same time it's a little uneven and weird, even for them.

You can always just admit that in the end you'll do them all, that it's only a matter of time and you can pick any of their albums now anyway.

Answer would be a pretty boring rev as things stand, would have to turn it into a career retrospective and work out a line for how well it works as a closing statement hmm

This is fair and true, though fortunately they're not missing much. Would have loved to do this or Highvision most, but both already have lovely writeups (especially this - I think about this review a lot in relation to Supercar and Japanese music in general)

Yeah exactly, felt the retrospective would suit your style. Plus it allows you to cheat and sneak some Highvision and Futurama stuff in too haha!



This review is great agreed, resonated with me too.

I rec'd this for bloodshy's CONTINENTAL RECFEST and Steak applauded the choice. Then it made me want to go on a Supercar-binge.

It is The Best Band Johnny. So lovely.
