Tokage [download]
2008-05-28 | maxi single
I just downloaded this single randomly. I didn't really have any hopes or expectations, but I went in knowing that they sound like old Gazette. After listening too it, holy poo, it sounds exactly like old Gazette! Unfortunately, to me that means some rather generic VK.
The first track, Tokage, starts off with a really cool synth intro (reminds me of Girugamesh). Sadly, the intro doesn't fit the song at all. It's a rather upbeat song with a kind of a punky feel. Over all, it feels very much like something Gazette would have come up with. That said, the vocals aren't even close to on par with Ruki's. Not saying they bad, it just makes seem like a Gazette song with a not as good vocalist, lol.
The Second song on the single, gishinaki, feels like a blatant attempt to copy Gazette. And I have to give them props for doing a pretty damn good job. The tone of the guitar, the distortion of the vocals, it's all there. While there is nothing original about this song, it still kicks ass. This song chugs along a a fast past and has some great screams. Although, I have the say that the band members return screams are pretty crappy, lol. ignoring the fact that this is such a Gazette rip off, it's a great song.
Tokage over isn't a bad single. If you like Gazette, check them out. On the other hand, if you don't, stay away from this band XD
