What can I say? Multi Colored Vox is the band definitely to watch. There's no denying the skill they have, and while their songs might sound a little like each other, the catchiness and pure energy they pour into the music simply blows me away. My fav is Sora Nai Te Iru, with a pounding guitar intro that sets the mood perfectly. Only gripe with this cd is the length. However, it does include a cool MTV of a previous song Todoke Kono Koe. Check it out... it's really great!

My first album of Laraku and one of the best they've given. Grips you with its opening song 'Loreley' and doesn't pull back at all. You have the hard hitting 'Promised Land' and 'Shout at the Devil', you have the ballads of 'Niji' and 'Fate'. My God pple, you have 'Anata' and how can a person resist that. Trust me on this one, get this album and never look back.

A hard-hitting album of pure head-banging. Holstein promises a varied style punk-fest and does not disappoint. With Flamenco-influenced songs like 'Vapor Trails and Powder Snow', superbly played 'Urban Air', the drive-by shootingspeed of 'Gently the Rain Sings for Me', and the epic 'Letter (in the buried capsule)', Holstein attacks and will not let go. Only gripe I have is the English they use throughout the whole album which doesn't sound anything like English. Still, put that cd in, put on those headphones, and scream my friends. This is pure greatness.

How can a person describe this soundscape that this terrific, mature band has given us? Acidman has provided us with an inventive album, willing to ush the boundaries of rock and sound. Songs like Freak Out, Sai, Suisha, Colors of the Wind show why Acidman is still on of the best bands out there. Be prepared ladies and gents to be blown away.
