Mirai Roman Ha [UHQCD]

I have been listening to this album non stop for the last 3 weeks so I could give a thorough review. The verdict...this is an absolutely great listen. With so many good songs its hard to pick favorites, although tracks 7 and 13 appear on the 25th anniversary 2 disc set. In reality, any of these songs could be on a best of set. 2 songs of note are 4 and 11. Blissful Rock n Roll sounds A LOT like early Kiss. Guitarist Shinji Wajima pulls out at least 5 of Ace Frehley’s trademark moves during the solo and drummer Nobu Nakajima is definitely channeling vintage Peter Criss complete with cowbell. Mystery of Long Autumn Nights is another unique song. It almost sounds headed in a Top 40 pop tune direction but does not quite reach it. At one point the band references 1960s American girl group the Shangri Las by way of Aerosmith and elsewhere bassist Ken-ichi Suzuki gives a nod to John Entwistle of The Who. How often do you hear that in one song? These guys have obviously soaked up plenty of American and British rock and metal history. Anyway the combination of heavy stuff and fun stuff creates a great and enjoyable experience.
