Further Notes on 13th Floor

May 04, 2005 22:40

Combine notes from their recent interviews from UV, OtH, Newsmaker...

Imai named the album "13th Floor with Moonshine". He said he just wanted the name calling a dramatic imagery, there's no specific meaning. Initially Imai wanted to call it "Diabolo" (that's how "core" Diabolo is for the album).

This is all extremely helpful to know. It's the goth that makes them good! Using Ju-On as an analogy for 13 Kai is...very oddly...appropriate. But count on Imai to come up with that.

Imai found them unfit (AGREE!)

me too. XD
A few of the songs I really love. Some I like because they're fun. Some I'm neutral. And some, I just don't care for at all. Like, can I hate on Taiji now? Because I know some people like that song, but it's so not acchan. When I first heard it, I thought: What is this, Hirai Ken? lol I like the shoegaze-y stuff though.

It's not a bad solo effort at all, but it doesn't entirely fit him? I guess nobody knows Acchan better than Imai.

It's like...from the list of musicians involved Achan solo (haha I know I should have typed as Acchan but I dropped the extra 'c' for typing fast) it should be a pretty darn good album, but when I actually heard it, it's was a bit of a 'blah'. Agree on Taiji~~ it's just not Achan and I'm glad he tried a different approach but I just can't connect. His voice is too fine for it. Each song is drastically different from another, and I think the first half of the album was especially weak. The melodies just aren't that strong (like some leftover materials that wasn't good enough)...just mediocre in general. "Smell" and "Cat" are very good songs though, the two just that stands out.

At least the solo gave him a confidence boost, other members didn't take him seriously I guess because Achan never believed himself a "musician' so no one else did (he always said he's just a band guy, whilst Imai and Hoshino are musicians).

when i first heard the album i wasn't too keen on it. i thought his vocals sounded eh...specially on taiji...i was like where'd this weird rapsy stuff come from? but after a few listens it really grew on me O.O/ the one song i loved from the start was yokan ^^ and i always thought wakusei was the best track on it.
