I was just googling random pillows' stuff and came upon this. :lol: I think it speaks for itself, no need for my opinion. Meh, it's not a bad review, just seems slanted towards FLCL fandom... The site did some reviews of older albums too so I can't complain about that really.

The review loses any credibility.

Pretty much this. Of course, when a review is written by someone with a handle like [i]GenkiSakura[/i], you have to wonder how much credibility it had to begin with.

Well, time to listen to Climbing on the Roof. :groovin:

[quote]In a genre where men wear make-up, cosplay goth, and are prettier than pretty, The Pillows seem to stand out slightly. Without purple eye shadow or gothic dress, The Pillows seem quite the ho-hum J-Rock band in appearances. But that’s just on the surface: what they lack in lip-gloss, they more than make up for in talent.[/quote]

Crap, they lost all credibility in the opening line. This is obviously a site geared toward visual kei. Because if it wasn't then they'd know the pillows don't fit into that "genre" at all and would look to some of their contemporaries like AKFG or Sambomaster for comparison and not friggin Girugamesh or some crap. The Kool Spice review was decent though, but these people don't have any of their facts straight at all, i.e., Living Field is now apparently the band's 6th album. :roll:

I'm guessing the reviewer has simply not yet come across any other Japanese rock bands that are not VK. Or is just a bad writer.
