Release date: March 10

Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 3.03
Amother so-called supergroup, the members of which means nothing to me, but at least it's not mind-numbing dancy K or J-pop. Opener is decent, but still, I don't know if it's just me and post-hardcore, but I find it hard to care. I mean, it's probably a good album, but for me it's just, you know, there. Nothing bad, nothing great, just ... there. I'm probably being unfair to these guys, but I just can't hear anything not only that I like, but that even makes an impression on ... hold on, the last track there ... well it was only a very short one, kind of a continuation of the twenty-six-second intro, but it was almost better than anything else I've heard on the album. Maybe that says it all.

Check out more from this artist? No
