Review Summary: Its a reasonable album for the fans. But just for them.
Granrodeo's third album. What can we expect? Well, I was expeting something similar from their two previous releases. The second, "Instinct", makes me a addicted for the band's sound and style: heavy, electronic at the right time, with beautiful tunes. Unfortanely, Brush the Scar Lemon show this and something more. Or less.
To far, this is the most experimental work. Its innovative, too, with happy and breathtaking tracks. There are wonderful solos and beautiful parts. However, there are some complaints surrounding this album.
The intro song is a experimentalism dose, a instrumental track that, admit it, doesn't add nothing for this album. Another problem is that a lot of tracks not sound naturally and spontaneously because a lot of electronic-computer-created-voices scattered on the album. However, Kishow's vocals is better that the previous releases, with a great emotional bundle.
We have big diversification on the compositions. For example, "Lonely Fighter" and the title track are very interesting and funny, At the same time, "Tsuki ni Neko" and "Nantokatu Keshita Story" are sad and melodic tracks. It's a very good quality of this band of mixing these songs.
One classic track is on the album: "Modern Strange Cowboy" is the Granrodeo's spirit. But, the entire album is not so good. There are a lot of good tracks, of course, but something is missed here: the entire album doesn't sounds natural, a very big track, a roller coaster.
So, listen. But only if you are used to these guys, but don't take this album to know the band. This one stays at the same level of Ride on the Edge. Its not negligible, but its not a masterpiece, too. You can listen. Or not.
