Kummercell Posted September 14 Posted September 14 I'm loving this retro phase Nakata is going through IMA IMA IMA is a top tier Perfume song. Can't wait for the full thing. 1
4Walls Posted September 14 Posted September 14 (edited) Love them so much but The Light and Sumikko Disco are not doing it for me at all. But still excited for the rest of the tracks. Edited September 14 by 4Walls
SecretSecret Posted September 14 Author Posted September 14 (edited) Yeah, the singles are pretty solid, but I'm not totally sold. I like the neo-80's sound, but every song sounds too similar. I'm afraid that the album will end up being a little too homogeneous (especially knowing there's another batch of songs coming next year). Also, I don't know what they were thinking with the AI mess of the cover... The photo with that retrofuturistic variety TV-show backdrop is perfect, and it fits the songs like a glove.

I'd say the last 3 songs are the best on the record. The first half feels more like by the numbers 80s revival, while in the last songs Nakata is applying the classic Perfume formula to the aesthetic. タイムカプセル's production goes crazy, it sounds straight out of GAME or Triangle.
Maddox Posted September 23 Posted September 23 (edited) IMA IMA IMA is legit of their best songs wow haven't stopped playing it ever since i heard it Edited September 23 by Maddox
4Walls Posted September 23 Posted September 23 This is absolutely their worst album omggg sorry yall.
ZENO Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Perfume is my favorite group ever and I've been following their journey since GAME (?)... I kinda this album is more of a concept album rather than a traditional one. Moebius is the best song out of it, but this body of work needed more punchy up-tempos imo. I wish they could release bangers like Dream Fighter and Electro World again... do we know if pt.2 will follow the same sound as well?
pink lightning Posted September 24 Posted September 24 I really like this! It's on the same level of Plasma for me, it's nice and enjoyable to listen but it makes me miss when their songs used to hit way harder with the beats. Cosmic Treat and Moebius were my favorites of the new songs
Roger Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Waaaaay better than their last album, I love the overall mood. Jikuu Hana is very Hikaru Utada, love it so much.
