Aburadako- OK Ban ~ Shoki Ongen

Artist: Aburadako (Japan)
Album: OK Ban ~ Shoki Ongen

Okay, so far, a decent sound from the track Ranninguhai. Terrible sound quality, but it's alri--- oh Christ, the vocals. It's all downhill from here, guys. I realize punk music isn't known for its vocal mastery, but this is just plain annoying. My God, it feels like I'm being raped in the ear.

The second song, Nintai... sounds as if the vocalist got drunk and decided to try to play anyhow. The other band members were equally wasted and decided it sounded good, then released it as is. Something like that. It sounds like white noise. I think my friends and I were doing a music parody once, and it sounded something like this.

Erusaremu no Kutsujoku, I have faith in you to save this album.
... Damn it all.

Zekku? Interesting opening, but maybe you should get your poor vocalist some laxatives. He sounds like he needs to take a huge dump. You meant for him to sound like that? Ohh...

Mu is stupid. Genbaku is bad. Mai Nisuto is ungodly terrible. You know what? I'm not even going to bother with the last half of this 18 track album.

Basically, they have decent enough compositions (I actually like the sound of some of it), but I personally find the vocalist intolerable. If you have a high tolerance to awful singing, give it a try. To each their own.

1 out of 5.

I've heard that this is an earlier work from Aburadako... Did they improve with time? I can only hope so.
