They're OK. I only listened to their 2005 album and they sound similiar to AKFG. I wonder if their lyrics aren't as emo as AKFG's.

Wasn't Hinata Hidekazu originally with this band?

From what I've heard of Art-School, they sound pretty bland and very similar to AKFG as stated above.
I do enjoy some of straightener's stuff though. I have Skeletonized, but I have no idea what their newer stuff is like and don't really care to look into it. It's nothing special or technical, but the music has a really good vibe to it and sounds sincere to me.
^Ignore that, I don't want to derail this thread

They're amazingly mediocre. I really liked LOVE/HATE when I first heard it, but that lasted about a week.

Straightener's good. They can show some variety. As for recent stuff, I liked TITLE and the b-side mix of Killer Tune especially.
As for Art-School, ehh. I'm not really into them at all, though I think I like their older stuff better, before they replaced like half the band.

I have an album on my computer. Requiem for Innocence. It's fair.
Straightener is great. I have Rock End Roll (which is very good) and a newer album, Dear Deadman. It too is good.

Re: Art-School http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qay3j51TnI8Illmatic Baby PV ...yeah, wtf. I think the director is a moron, they had some really cool stuff (the color things of the band and stuff) but then threw in shit from a goddamn hip hop video, it doesn't fit with the song at all. Cool music though, it's like a dancier version of ato juubyou de. From the samples on HMV and the three songs I heard live, the rest of the mini-album is more normal for them, but it's an interesting song. Chorus has cool lyrics, but this video is stupid.  Really, this is the first Art-School PV that sucks, the rest have all been mostly fucking fantastic with a few that were just "decent." I hope they fucking fire the director of this one.

Re: Art-School I hope this wasn't trying to be serious.
