The back horn's new album. Discuss. The song Headphone Children is catchy... and Kiseki and Boseki Fever is good too.

I'm drawn to Pappara for some reason. That's all I'll say.

The singles are solid and the title track is awesome but beyond that, only Kiseki gets my ear.

Kiseki is good... but now I really like Shanghai Kyoosookyoku.

I was listening to this on the train home from NY, and am convinced that it's a great album. There's just so many different flavors on it, from the ultra-ballad Kizuna Song to the early 90's Seattle sound of (Boseki/Hiseki?) Fever. I just put Tabibito on a new mix cd though, seems like it might end up being one of my faves. I also like Headphone Children a lot, it really reminds me of this song at the end of the movie War Games... if anyone's seen that, sorta depressing, reggae-ish, pop song. But Headphone Children is more positive sounding than that, and I really like hearing him said "headofuono chiruden", hahah.

I need to warm up to it. I'm finding myself listening to more and more ska as the days pass, so when rock comes into the playlist, I usually tune it out.
