This isn't at all a new sound for capsule, rather it's Nakata going back to his roots with Shibuya-kei picopop and a bossa-nova sound. For me, about half the album works and half doesn't. GAME was about the same ratio, but the songs I liked on GAME I REALLY loved. There's no classics like Polyrhythm, Ceramic Girl, or Puppy Love for me on this album, but granted I do need to give it a few more listens. It seems like some songs just lack a melody.
Still, better than the previews let on. Initial impression is a 6.5-7/10 versus GAME's 8/10.
