CREATURE CREATURE new album release

Recommended Posts

I didn't even know this band existed until today lol.

 

This sounds absolutely awesome though with the vague prog and dissonance everywhere. Can't wait for this album to drop.

Do yourself a favor and listen to their 2010 album 'INFERNO'.

If you paid closer attention to certain works by Dead End (MORRIE) or even La'cryma Christi's instrumental craft as we speak (Hiro) as cases in point, you may notice that balls-to-the-wall progging is not a whole new ballgame to them necessarily (note: except for Shinobu, every face in CC has a HUGE record in regards to project participations) ;)

 

(as @emmnynoted already, I also hear Hiro's good ol' trademark dissonant riff-o-ganza* here as well - always welcomed frill in their songs :))

You should seriously stick to trying out their very first releases (well, take say from 1993/1994 up until 1997 and something from 1998 if you don't mind obvious Luna Sea-iness) because Hiro used to be their most prominent songwriter until their bassist took the lead with his power pop/glam bops :(

 

So to list albums you should try: Siam's Eye (single), Warm Snow, Dwellers of a Sandcastle (WS' rerecording, superior version), Sculpture of Time and all of those respective A-side singles and parts of Lhasa if you learn to avoid pop bops (MH still should have some, I can up in case they expired)

 

I apologize for derailing this topic again but to exhibit what exactly was Hiro cooking back in his 20s:

 

Spoiler

Maybe not so obvious here but the studio version is pretty much 9GBO-pops-lite

 

(if you are a Hiro stan, you should try parts of Magic Theatre-album too - this is pretty much their last "VK sound" release imho

These guys were such a tight band. 

 

 

it got weird when Koji left and was never replaced, leaving Hiro with handling all the guitar work live. Made songs like Henseifu in particular sound kind of empty.

Yeah, that last live DVD is pretty sad. All those great songs sounded so hollow without a 2nd guitar. But at least they came back later and recorded Resurrection together. Still need to buy that box, but I WILL buy it.

 

Anyway, let's keep this thread for Creature Creature and all things related, then?

 

It's finally here, guys!

Did we forget this was a thing?

 

i got my copy yesterday, and after two listens I'm a little disappointed. It's definitely the more experimental side of Morrie, and you're not going to get any traditional rockers like "Dream Caller" or "Paradise".  The closest thing is probably "Eden Made", which sounds like the sister song to "Rakuen e".  Which is fine! But the problem I'm having is that nothing is really standing out at the moment. This could mean that it's going to grow on me, or maybe I'm just still high on Phantoms, which i still rock on a regular basis. 

 

Unfortunately, the biggest offender is the last track, which meanders for nine minutes and never really seems to make its point. So, I mean, hype is down at the moment, but I'll give it more time to grow on me.

Definitely not. I suppose we are all still anxiously waiting for someone to upload it... No pressure, though.

As much as I laughed at Morrie's vocals in the preview, "Ai to Shi no Yuugijou" is my favorite track on the album right now. It pretty much encompasses everything I love about this band.

After getting my copy a couple of days ago, I much enjoyed the new album on my first listen. It's definitely much more on the progressive/experimental side of things than the previous albums which could be good or bad depending on your perspective. Morrie's vocals are delightfully varied and uniquely his (as expected), and there's a lot of unusual/weird riffs in here. All in all, it's a winner for me.
