CAT5 9075 Posted December 14, 2014 Honki dance is very middle-of-the-road for me. They did have a track on their full-length that was more in the guitar-pop direction tho - I thought that sound really suited them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted December 14, 2014 I'm eager to hear their full length now. I thought the mini was really fun. I'm curious if they can hold that feeling over twice as many songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beni 2149 Posted December 14, 2014 Having never heard of them until now, I became interested in them when I first read their name. They sound like a lot of fun, their artist name and album title complimenting one another. So I'll have to give them a listen sometime. Got really positive comments and discussion.

bonsaijodelfisch 328 Posted December 15, 2014 to be honest, the album was kinda meh for me, but that sample-song it self, daaaaaaaaammmn. it's just one of those songs that have something about them, in this case some simplicity and riffage that make you want to randomly throw your extremities around in a wild attempt at dancing, making yourself look really silly. A+ song, C+ mini 1 Jigsaw9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beni 2149 Posted December 15, 2014 Ito, tardiness is understandable, you've done a fantastic job as always. No worries, happy it got to be up on its day! About the album, as I've already said in my impressions, I can't recommend these guys enough. A VERY enjoyable band and album and I hope I didn't need to write an essay to express this one this one : p And now that I can go back to the thread, I've checked out the honki dance PV and I can't believe I'm only hearing them now. A rather.. different PV at that, but they're very funky as I was expecting. Nice discovery and choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Visutox 188 Posted December 15, 2014 I've been waiting for the review of witness to be posted and finally, here it is. Better late than never! Clearly one of the best albums released this year, my expectations were very high and I haven't been disappointed. In any case, disclosure left me such a good impression with its chaotic atmosphere even before the album was released, and the album just confirmed that these guys know what they're doing; and they're doing it right. 1 doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted December 15, 2014 (Sorry I am a bit late in posting this one...MH was down last night when I was going to post it so I just went to bed instead XD) We all understand. There were bigger fish to fry with the forum last night. Glad to see it's all back as it should be again. I've been waiting for the review of witness to be posted and finally, here it is. Better late than never! Clearly one of the best albums released this year, my expectations were very high and I haven't been disappointed. In any case, disclosure left me such a good impression with its chaotic atmosphere even before the album was released, and the album just confirmed that these guys know what they're doing; and they're doing it right. Those disclosure teasers had me so hyped and the video when it was on the anniversary site was so amazing. I wish they would have left it permanently so everyone could revisit it. And I agree 100% the album did not disappoint. If I keep playing it as much as I have this year it may end up being my favorite album of theirs so far. 1 Visutox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted December 16, 2014 The album cover for that FACT album is pretty cool. Judging from that sample PV, i'm not sure if their sound is for me, but I'd be willing to try one of their albums at least. Is this a good one to start with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd definitely say this one or their self titled. They do have more melodic songs, the preview is about as heavy as they get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ito 2438 Posted December 16, 2014 I sadly don't have much good to say about witness. It is easily my least favorite album by the band, and continues the downward trend in FACT's albums imo. Their self-titled was fantastic, In the Blink of an Eye was great, burundanga was good, and witness is meh. For me there isn't a single song that passes above average for me, with disclosure being the album's closest thing to a strong track. Then there are some downright annoying tracks like ape and 2-1. The song witness is probably the most intriguing to me as it has parts which are great but it's repetitiveness just ends up coming off as irritating (though it does get stuck in my head). The album does get some points for having awesome cover art, though . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeithX252 1266 Posted December 16, 2014 witness is just good, it's easy listening, and I can easily addicted with that album. The aggressiveness come back with FACT's new album! to me, burundanga was very meh, great they can improve more in witness! 3 Visutox, doombox and Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you do try them, do enjoy Cat. ^^ And Ito, I totally agree on the art cover! 1 doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted December 16, 2014 I think Gekitetsu is going to forever be the awesome band with the dude in epic leopard pants. I can only imagine their concerts have to be ridiculously fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted December 16, 2014 I think Gekitetsu is going to forever be the awesome band with the dude in epic leopard pants. I can only imagine their concerts have to be ridiculously fun. To quote one of my friends that saw them live lol: BUT i seriously will not deny that their live show is KILLER. they're really entertaining to see. The singer went down the staircase from the second floor to the first on a asahi beer crate riding a plush tiger. Later, someone boosted him to the top of the speakers, handed him the tiger and he took a fall riding on top of it to the ground. and to quote another friend who was considering adding them to the NMFT tour: I told Kenta (susquatch) that I was thinking about bringing them to Canada but he warned me that these guys are pretty crazy and the singer (Amano Joji) is infamous for being an ex-drug addict junkie. ...XD 3 Miasma, doombox and Pretsy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigo 389 Posted December 16, 2014 That guy's pants give me the creeps. But Gekitetsu's album was pretty good as far as I can remember. 1 CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted December 16, 2014 That sounds exactly like I envisioned them being. Well except the ex-junkie part. But then again, this is rock'n'roll and we all know what goes with that. lol. 1 CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
