This is Acid Mothers' first release on Alien8 Records and, as it is advertised on the "obi" strip which comes with the cover, this is one motherfucking heavy album! After a few seconds of weird delayed female vocals by Cotton Casino, the album rip-roars up into a storm of in-the-red guitar soloing and manic drum-fucking and doesn't stop until the album comes to a stop fifty minutes later. This sounds like Animal of the Muppets hyped up on goofballs going medieval on his drum set while Kawabata (sporting a similarly frizzy hairdo) relentlessly attacks his guitar, forcing it into submission and working it to death. It's just that intense. This was my first AMT record and I can't really recommend it as an introduction to the group because it's just way too over-the-top and doesn't represent well the different sides of the group. Nonetheless, if you do prefer the group's heavier side, then by all means!
