BUCK-TICK最高！とにかくカッコいいし良いです。 音楽もビジュアルも！

やっと出たな バスタオル！ 待ってたぞ

’14年発表｡1年9ヵ月ぶりのｱﾙﾊﾞﾑは全14曲収録のﾎﾞﾘｭｰﾑ感あふれる仕上がり｡ぶっ飛んだｱｯﾊﾟｰな1曲目に始まり､躍動感に満ちた曲が並びつつも､ﾗｽﾄの2曲の重厚さによって､これぞBUCK-TICKと思える深い余韻を残す｡ｼﾝｾ･ﾏﾆﾋﾟｭﾚｰﾀｰにCube Juice､ﾏﾆﾋﾟｭﾚｰﾀｰ＆ｼﾝｾｻｲｻﾞｰにYOW-ROW(GARI)､ｷｰﾎﾞｰﾄﾞに森岡賢､ﾌﾟﾛｸﾞﾗﾐﾝｸﾞにHAYASHI HIROYUKI(POLYSICS)､三代堅といったｹﾞｽﾄを迎えてﾁｬﾚﾝｼﾞを行っているのも聴きどころだ｡先鋭的なｻｳﾝﾄﾞと陰影に満ちた歌詞はさらに研ぎ澄まされ､ﾎﾟｯﾌﾟでありながらも音に込められた様々な細かい仕掛けとともに､まだ誰も聴いたことのない音像が立ち上がるｱﾙﾊﾞﾑ｡

「形而上 流星」- A solid, safe, basic single ”A” tune, not too overwhelming for the general public. 「メランコリア」- A new dance tune. The mix is bit too sharp on the ear, stinging. With that going against it, it’s still a strong one. 「VICTIMS OF LOVE with 黒色すみれ」- a great disappointment, greeted with howling female vocals. Feels like an Addams Family parody of the original song. Generally, though I did not like the remake of「VICTIMS OF LOVE」on it, this is a solid single, worth getting.

形を超えた流星 降臨 1は中島みゆきのようなメロディラインです。 最後のリフレインは蜉蝣を思い出しました。 2はNINばりのデジタルチューン！ この2曲はアルバムverがどうなるか楽しみ！ そして3は4年前のツアーで披露されたセルフカバー！ 黒色すみれが邪魔する事もなく、Dメロまで 追加された究極形のSEXソング！ blu-rayはライブ映像にドキュメントを取り入れ 個人的にはバクチク現象IVと捉えている。 久々にお負けの映像作品で当たりだった。 或いはアナーキー楽しみ！

This single has surprised me- I pre-ordered it under the impression that it would end up being one of those pieces that I got just to fill out my BUCK-TICK collection, but ”LOVE PARADE” has become a song that I actively seek out to listen to often, and enjoy. The second song, ”STEPPERS -PARADE-” I do not like at all (it’s far too ”Classic Rock” style for my taste) and don’t allow it to play... but it was still worth getting this CD for the first song. I got the limited edition, which came with a live concert DVD, which is also great and viewed often, though I do not count that towards my review for the CD single itself, since it’s bonus material. (add a star to my rating if you count the bonus DVD) Recommended： you won’t be disappointed.

I purchased this Blu-Ray set as the limited edition, through FISH TANK (BUCK-TICK official fan club member). As expected, it’s carefully whitewashed spin doctoring, trying as hard as it can to make the band appear ”respectable”, sterile, and droning work-a-day soulless worse than the average office worker, which any fan can tell you is far from the full story. Primarily shot from a roadie’s perspective, it even manages to make the concerts appear lacking spirit. Fans will want to have this as a piece for their collection, but there’s not much of actual value in it.

A very slick, professional production that’s censored needlessly in places. Sound quality is excellent, but the performance itself appears rather repressed and stoic, creating a technical but hollow and disappointing sound that doesn’t quite feel right. The sensation is as if the band doesn’t really want to be there that night. (I have a feeling that this may be due to the presence of the documentary movie crew, adding pressure and making it a less relaxed experience for them, but this is only a hypothesis) I didn’t like the album that this tour was for, so that does have an impact also on my overall impression, but generally, this one just does not work for me.

退化を感じさせないバンドです。 25年を経過した豊富な経験値を覗かせるアルバムです。 ただ、好き嫌いのはっきり別れるアルバムだとおもいます…

音源CDより、見ごたえ･聞き応えのあるバンドはそうはありません。まさに日本を代表するロックバンドです。皆さん、触れて感じてみてください！本物がそこにあります!
