Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Japanese power-pop veterans harness heavily fuzzed-out guitars and remarkably catchy, energetic hooks across this driving, alternative rock milestone. The album further refined the anthemic, emotionally resonant sound that would shortly make them international cult favorites via the FLCL anime soundtrack.
