I downloaded their RIJF2005 video to see what they were like. It's sitting on my computer wasting 450mb. They suck shit. |

Their guitarist really holds them back. He has a cool technique / tone, but you can't keep REWRITEing the same hit. Same with the singer, to an extent. I like their drums / bass. I like some of their longer / slower songs like Kaigan Doori and Gekkou as well as some of their old shit, but I can't listen to an album all the way through - too monotonous. I hope this B-sides collection has some off-the-wall, experimental shit, but I won't get my hopes up

i like their lyrics and singing. there are a certain number of songs that all sound like rewrite, flashback, and that first track off of sol-fa, but they also have great ones like sono wake wo, kimi to iu hana, kaigandoori, loop & loop, etc. i need to get more of their old stuff. |

I realized a while ago that for AKFG, other than Loop & Loops, they're really generic-sounding. Gotoh's vocals are so...damn...not interesting. I honestly don't see how you can love AKFG but hate mainstreamy MTV pop-rock. The guitar work is definitely not anything to write home about, and it's just all rather uninspired. Again, except for Loop & Loops. That song is so simple and lovely. |

I won't pretend like AKG's got nothing in common with "mainstreamy MTV pop-rock", but they're definitely a step up. It's really frustrating that even though their music has evolved a lot in the past couple of years, they insist on using power chords almost exclusively. With Fanclub I think they've taken this "power chord rock" sound about as far as they can. There's a lot of great stuff on the album, but it could be [i]sooo[/i] much better if the guitar parts didn't suck most of the time. Alright, I'm done defending AKG. Flame away. Oh, and I think I must be the only person outside of rabid fangirls that actually likes Gotoh's voice.

So far I liked some of the tracks from Sol-Fa and the Blue Train single but the song itself is boring. Their new stuff isn't getting any better it comes out with a nice intro and then chokes forward on. |

um...me too.  I think his voice is very suited to their music. Anybody else love the high notes on kimi no machi made's chorus?

I liked Gotoh's voice alot in Haruka Kanata and maybe Kimi No Machi Made,but his voice in the rest of their songs is meh. I enjoy AKFG's songs,old AKFG>new AKFG IMHO |
