[Machine Translation] the cabs' long-awaited 1st ALBUM! After releasing two mini-albums, "Ichiban Hajime no Happenings" and "Kaikyosuru Breath", the cabs have been steadily growing, and at the "Reverberation Festival" held in September 2012, they proudly performed at the top of the bill at SHIBUYA O-EAST. Compared to their previous two albums, their first full album, "Rebirth Landscape," has an overwhelmingly larger sense of scale, and it is a work that has established the cabs' unique identity beyond the boundaries of the "Seisho Zankyo" label color. Opening with the unexpected rhythm of "Leland," the album features songs that are unmistakably the cabs, such as "Like Flowers," which shows a high level of skill amidst a sense of urgency, but it also shows an awareness of trying to make the songs more straightforward than before. The lead track "anschuluss" draws the listener in with its clever development, while "Your eyes have all the answer" is unusually simple for the cabs, and Suto's voice, with its increased expressiveness and luster, is particularly impressive. The 10 tracks, up to the suite-like epic "All I Cried", are without a doubt the cabs' best work to date.

"the cabs"待望の1st ALBUM!!! 『一番はじめの出来事』、『回帰する呼吸』という2 枚のmini album を発表し、2012 年9 月に行われた「残響祭」ではSHIBUYA O-EAST のトップバッターを堂々務めるなど、着実な成長を遂げてきたthe cabs。前2 作に比べて圧倒的にスケール感の増した1st full album『再生の風景』は、もはや「正統残響」というレーベル・カラーの枠を超え、the cabs 以外の何者でもない個性を確立させた作品だと言えよう。意表を突いたリズムの"Leland" で幕を開ける本作には、性急さの中に高いスキルが光る" 花のように" をはじめ、いかにもthe cabs らしい曲がある一方で、これまでよりストレートに歌を聴かせようとする意識も感じられる。巧みな展開で聴く者を引き込むリード・トラックの"anschuluss" や、彼らとしては珍しくシンプルな演奏でまとめた"Your eyes have all the answer" での、表現力と艶の増した首藤の歌声は特に印象的だ。まるで組曲のような大作" すべて叫んだ" まで全10 曲、間違いなくthe cabs の最高傑作である。
