Thanks for the album.
It's better than the trainwreck that was ZBIII, that's for sure. As much as I'd love to praise Mukai to high heavens, he doesn't quite hit the bullseye with this one either and drifts off with his experiments in cacophony a little too much, once again, at the expense of coherent songwriting. His newfound joy, the simple, melodic synth experiments work far better and make the sound refreshing.
The album has its moments, even though those are mainly the tracks we've heard already. Here and there. The final twosome, Drifting/DWBWY remix and Sabaku, close the album brilliantly.
All that said, it's a big step up and a return to form.
