anatomy of a capsule album:
- start with an intro, usually about a minute to a minute-thirty long
- lead into its self-titled banger of a single that exemplifies the theme of this album
- keep the beats flowing from there
- melody optional, simple as can be optional
i can’t say it gives iidx energy because the stylistic shifts aren’t usually too drastic from one album to the next – or at least, he’s been in his electro phase for a while now, with the shibuya-kei pizzicato pop slowly vanishing into the rear-view horizon.
★★ more! more! more! and wow does this album’s banger of a s/t deliver.
★★ the time is now: is it fair to say that capsule-kun found his genre? i feel like electropop plays well to his strengths1 while masking his weaknesses2 – there’s a reason why Perfume popped off, after all.
★★ jumper!
★ pleasure ground. i want to love the 6415 hook but it really feels like a consolation prize
★ the mutations of life
★★ e.d.i.t
★ adventure, though i think the high arp and saw lead don’t mesh with the chorus melody…
