I don't even know what to expect anymore.

I just hope there's a good ol' Manabe solo somewhere in there.

[quote="Marekenshin"]On the other hand, you could also combine and improve upon the best parts of them.[/quote]

But even when you improve upon the best parts of them, how does this hold up to the other new albums and singles by other artists that you could alternatively be listening to?

Maybe combining the cool break-beat intro of Tokyo Bambi, the quick licks between chorus chords of YOUR ORDER, the overall structural strength Ameagari possesses, and enthusiastic, catchy chorus vocal of Lemon Drops...[b]just isn't as good[/b] as the next hot track from Ging Nang Boyz, the next single by Tokyo Jihen, or any track from The Band Apart's [i]Alfred and Cavity[/i].

Too soon?

Back to Hope status....

I'd say that the best features of all their best songs from the past several years, taken and carefully improved upon, would be better than anything Ging Nang, etc. have given us period.

They haven't had a break in consecutive years between studio albums since the break between Good Dreams and My Foot. Maybe it would be easier to improve on those things if they were able to [i]slow down[/i] for a while.

The break between Pied Piper and OOPARTS was longer.

You loved the last album so much you've done little else then pester me about it relentlessly, and you hate pretty much everyone who posts here... What the fuck?

No, it was two years between My Foot and Good Dreams. Pied Piper came out last year, and OOPARTS this year. Only one year in between.

No. This last break was longer. Good Dreams came out November 2004, My Foot January 2006. Then Pied Piper came out in June of 2008, OOPARTS October of 2009.

I'm gonna like it, I know everyone else will hate it though

So, INB4 tears and people leaving

I don't hate the last album; there are plenty of other people who don't hate the album. It's pretty ridiculous to make a statement like "...I know everyone else will hate it though."

Now, I AM pretty damn sure that I won't [b]love[/b] it. If it sounds anything like a majority of OOParts, it'll just be good or ok. If it sounds like any of the past singles, then it has potential to be great. I for one, think Ameagari is an amazing song (the horrible production is its biggest hindrance though).

you know the problem, you guys spend so much time belly-aching in anticipation of the next album and put up these huge expectations forward that no matter how good the album actually is it never lives up to your expectations.

maybe you should try to stop judging the music and just

there's plenty to love about Ooparts, I personally love it. I usually skip primer beat and sometimes life sized life bu that's it. the sounds are really cool imo. I think the pillows know that they cant satisfy the people that love to criticize their work with anything short of erasing their old songs from everyone's memories and re-releasing em, so they just don't bother trying to care about what critics think and just do what they love, the way they want too.



short version:
quit your bitching and

I cant wait to hear this single. I hope it keeps the aggressively individualistic vibe of Ooparts.
