It’s still way too long though, which is a problem the album has as a whole (my theory of pop song lengths is that once a song goes over 3:45, it’s too long, and this continues until it goes over 8:00, at which point it becomes awesome again). I mention Otome Senso, which I don’t really rate as a great song - it’s too much of a watered-down copy of the kind of song Kenichi Maeyamada used to do for them, although it works far better in the context of the album than it did as a standalone single. The result reminds me a bit of some of the laid-back silliness of Halcali, albeit done with Momoiro Clover Z’s customary polish. The best stuff on the album is still the stuff they did over a year ago, especially Rodo Sanka, which still baffles me how it ever got made - how did anyone ever let a drug-addled British indie-dance producer cum 70s blaxploitation soundtrack enthusiast loose on a top ten idol pop hit? As I say in the review though, it’s interesting how the tracks around it also seem to adopt the tag-team vocal approach of 80s hip hop to varying degrees in how they make the group work as a collection of individuals, not just as a pop unit. Listen to it: I wasn’t joking in the review when I said they should do a rock opera. Yes, I did just reference Carl Orff, Skrillex and anime music in one sentence. The song then just explodes into hyperactive synth squiggles a la Skrillex and typically melodramatic vocals straight out of an anime theme. Neo Stargate opens the album in a nine minute-plus version, the first third of which is just the O Fortuna segment of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burina (yeah, the one from the Old Spice ad) just plonked there, unembellished, for no particular reason other than as testament to its own excess. It was a fun album, and on the first listen, there was a very powerful sense of Wow! to it, just for the sheer audacity of trying some of these ideas in an idol record. Reni pulls such a Tsuji face at one point, though.Last week, The Japan Times published a review I wrote of the new Momoiro Clover Z album. Is this all going to end in something? No, just Reni floating? Okay, then. "I get it, Shiori's in a brain contraption. We saw everything within the first minute and a half, and then they just kept reshowing those same ideas over and over again. I even like the PV and stuff, but I wish they'd have had more ideas fleshed out. I still super enjoy Marty Friedman's involvement and the outfits and everything. I enjoy the song, though I kind-of wish that they didn't have as much talking since I don't understand the greater part of it.

But I feel like shrooms are required to fully enjoy them.īTW, I woulda just done the whole embed thing when I posted the link but hey, I'm an internet moron and couldn't get it to work! Hey, I wasn't born with a computer like most of y'all I didn't own a PC til I was in my 20's! BAH! And the girls go nuts, so of course people will like them, they clearly have fun. It's like they tell em' here's your costume, go have a blast. They're weak eye candy wise and even talent wise when compared to other idols but their producer and peeps in charge play to their strengths very well. I fully understand that that is their deal and honestly, they wouldn't succeed without it. The chorus is catchy and Marty Freidman's guitars are cool, but some of the things they add into their songs are just boner kill to me. reference, brains hooked up to a UFO, yea, rm88 should love it.
Lots of obnoxious screaming, sounds like multiple different songs pieced together, alien abduction, E.T.
