Plus I liked how 90's metal dropped the tinny, reverby habits of 80's metal.

Musically, I like this fairly much. Not hugely into the vocals I'm afraid. Especially not the screechy dude. The keyboards also generally remind me of various forms of goth and symphonic metal that I do my best to avoid. Still, there's enough here that I like that I might check out a bit more from this band.

Casiopea does have some elements of the Japanese city pop boom of the late 70's, which means they have the capacity to reflect the bounciness and cheesiness of that culture.

The band members are also really talented. Here's Akira Jimbo (drummer) and Tetsuo Sakurai (bassist) doing some duo pieces. I think they're from some old VHS'.



^Jimbo kills it with the double kick on this one.

The songwriting and personality of the performances just didn't really register as anything inspired.

Five minutes well enough spent, but that's it for me.

Seminal metalcore masterpiece from '97 that was hugely influential to the genre in the following years. Definitely one of the best metal and one of the best hardcore albums ever released.

There was some saxophone that I really enjoyed.

Pretty good. I seem to be able to like a lot of metalcore from this time period. Charles has shown me several really badass albums from back around then.

There was an especially high standard as far as drumming goes. So much of this stuff has really lively, kinetic drumming.
