No problem. I'm eager to hear opinions about this stuff. It's pretty weird album (probably because of multiple influences) but everyone who can appreciate Hard Rock & HEAVY 70s stuff along with HM should give it a try at least. The second album is even better.

Edit: Oh just realised that the bitrate is 128kbps. Oh well at least you get a picture of what this band is about. I haven't seen any other rips of this album as it is rare I've heard.

A rather strange and interesting album, each song is completely different from another, it goes to straight HM to Doom, NWOBHM, Hard-Rock, ...
I need to listen to it more, but after one listen I like it.

He he... wow... funny stüffs... hm.. (?)

...

Lots of neat riffing, but I can't help wondering if there's a fair bit of humor in there, like the dated Mr. Bungle kind? Nothing wrong with a little lightheartedness, but for once I get the feeling this will get better a record or ten into their discography. Have anyone heard the later material?

I've heard misc stuff from many of the albums and so far I've liked the second album the best. They have even some thrashy moments in later albums..

They were also heavily influenced by angura threatre, poetry & literature. Angura was some kinda political and artsy counterculture movement of late 60s and early 70s in Japan. Especially the theatrical style of singing on some songs reminds me of that. It may appear to some as some what funny I don't know. My japanese is pretty rusty so dunno about the lyrics but I've heard they're full of folklore and stuff like that.
