New Customer Review

Years may have passed, and many musical styles have come and gone, but Gryphon are still Gryphon and long may it continue. There is a light-hearted feeling to this album. There are complex instrumentals, and we drop back in time to Baroque and medieval periods, all of which make perfect sense when in the hands of these guys.

Coroner’s Dissonance Theory is not a nostalgic cash-in but a bold, renewed manifesto from a band that never fully left the experimental alley of thrash. The record moves with a surgical precision - riffs that brace you, rhythms that shift without warning, and atmospheres thick with tension. The inclusion of Diego Rapacchietti breathes fresh energy into the drum department, and Bogren’s mixing sculpted clarity even in the densest passages. Tracks like “Sacrificial Lamb” and “Symmetry” entwine classic Coroner fretwork with fresh progressive twists, while “Transparent Eye” and “Prolonging” show the band unafraid to breathe, let space speak, and then strike again. Where Grin was enigmatic and daring, Dissonance Theory feels resolved - a return not to the past but forward from it. At forty-odd minutes, it’s lean and vital, a statement that Coroner still have surprises left.

In Amen, Igorrr transcends the label of “genre mangler” to become an altar for unfettered emotional exploration. From the opening pulsations of “Daemoni,” which feels like a malign heartbeat in the walls, to the shimmering dread of “Ancient Sun” and the crushing climax of “Pure Disproportionate Black and White Nihilism,” the album drags you into the black underbelly of the psyche. Serre’s compositional instincts are razor-sharp: he knows exactly when to let operatic vocals float over fragile electronics, when to crash in with punishing blastbeats, and when to let silence or minimalism speak loudest. Amen is not easy; it demands you lean into its discomfort. But its rewards are manifold - dark epiphany, cathartic release, and the terrifying pleasure of music that refuses to be tamed. Amid a field of imitators who dabble at extremes, this album stands as a statement: Igorrr is still the high priest of audacious, unsettling, and utterly personal extreme art.

I was excited to see what a jazz piano trio arrangement of fusion music would sound like. Even if you're not familiar with Weather Report, I think this arrangement is enjoyable enough. Makoto Kuriya's piano sound is clear and powerful. Koichi Osamu's thick, heavy, and powerful bass. Hiroyuki Noritake's drums are surprisingly vivid. I'd love to see more jazz and fusion sounds like this...

There are artists who play the Weather Report like this!! It's too great. I was surprised. The tension of the performance is great, but there is another arrangement.

HEAD HUNTERS is the resultant album of which most people that know of Herbie Hancock will register in their brains immediately. The music of HEAD HUNTERS is a counterbalance between jazz that the musicians are used to and funk, one of the music styles all the rage back when the album premiered. In many ways it was the beginning of whole new era of music for many, and when you also take into account how well done the music on HEAD HUNTERS truly is, even all these years later, I see no reason why you should be without it. It's a classic, and well-deserving of that title.

Great, special and limited! This kind of version is very difficult to find. Worthy compare to the deluxe edition.

All in all, It is a coherent album with much creativity and excellent lyricism. No lengthy solos, not much complication. Only creativity.

Of all the multitudinous highways and byways down which the enterprising Deep Purple collector can travel, none, perhaps, is so surprising as The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast, Purple bassist Roger Glover's first "solo" album, and - almost incidentally - one of the most delightful children's records ever made.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Both songs and instrumentals, you can really hear the music and the vocals in all the tracks. I got a Kanade photocard and she's cute. CDJapan bonuses were also very nice! A sticker and a print. 10/10 would buy again if I did not already! (they healed... it's not mizuover)
