Take all of the energy of their past records, crank the construction quality way up, and you get this super fun J-rock record with again prominent bass and cool drums too. Vox feels like it is mixed a bit too loud in places, but prod wise that is about the only issue I could find even nitpicking. 1 is a huge energetic jam with slap bass, 2 is a is a jam too in the same style. 3 gets a bit much in places but is still cool. 4 is more of a slow paced emotional track that unfold super well but still has cool tracks. 6 gets a bit too abrasive to my taste but is still alright. 7 is a jam with lots of cool bass and drum breaks. In 8 the bass intro feels a bit exaggerated but once it stops it is a nice and relaxed track, and when the bass break comes back in the outro it's actually good. 9 changes the atmosphere into a darker, softer, sadder track, and it is most welcome at this point, illustrating what I mean in terms of improved construction by letting the energy settle for 8 tracks and then only breaking it up for a moment. 10 brings back the bounce and is a jam with again super cool bass and a catchy chorus. The closer is excellent, starting off as a ballad which is an idea I respect, but that gets more abrasive. Light grow on me as I get used to the loud J-rock vox. 3.95
