World’s End Girlfriend's last album “Hurtbreak Wonderland” is one of my best albums in last decade and also reached the peak of his career I think……those unique epic orchestral/glitch post rock music packed with those otherworldly vibe of “helpless psychotic-glamorous end-of-the-world isolated city in future world”…..truly beautiful, moving & exciting stuffs!!......so, it’s normal for this one-man-band, Katsuhiko Maeda, to explore new direction in this new album after the long wait…..nevertheless, as his loyal fan, I would say I’m a bit disappointed in his new works….if his last album has got a perfect balance in the lost city vibe of mental disorder and contemporary glamour…this one is just dominated with insanely amount of mental disorder stuffs……full of mindless quick dense dub/break beat/glitch/IDM sampling sounds and feeling incoherent, excessive and mind-blowing emptiness…..after the excessively-but-for-nothing 1st half songs, the 2nd half of the album returns back his familiar orchestral post rock sound which brings back some consolation to audience……not a bad album, but it’s surely a love-or-hate album!!
