Has plenty of great tracks; a third of these are among my favorite tracks from the band. At the same time, it feels pretty incohesive as a whole. There are some pretty jarring shifts in tone because of the track order, and it didn't feel like it built up a theme, mood, or anything other than Tokyo Jihen just being Tokyo Jihen. That said, it only rarely became annoying to me as most of the tracks were at least decent. This feels like less than the sum of its parts, which feels like a shame because of how good some of those parts are. This is still one of the albums I most often revisit, or at least check tracks from.
