NOW [Regular Edition]

This is easily one of the best rock albums I have had the pleasure of listening to in a long time. Girugamesh blends several diferent sounds together here. From the slight techno influence, to the hard rock sound complete with screaming, to a more melodic rock sound, to even rap or a Nu Metal sound. The lyrics carry some agression in them but balance that off with a steady sincerety and even slight sensitivity to them. The result is a fantastic rock album with a diverse and original sound to it that any fan of rock music would be happy to listen to. Best songs on here hands down would have to be "bit crash", "I think I can Fly", "Nobody", "Dirty Story", and "Arrow". The packaging is great. The little boy model ( Tipper Ryu) is adorable and expressed the bands optimism and enthusiasm for rock music perfectly. There are some great pics of the band themselves inside and even pics of what machine parts/instruments the band uses. There is also several pages worth of Liner Notes and an Interview with the band( written in kanji) at the very back. If your a lover of J-Rock, or just like rock music then pick this album up! You won't regret it!
