REGURGITATED REWIND: GANG PARADE - GANG PARADE Takes Themselves Higher

I caught the GANG PARADE bug hard earlier this month after weeks of enjoying all the recent music videos they've uploaded on youtube as well as watching a bunch of their live performances that get uploaded by fans. They have great chemistry as a whole with banging tracks, great vocal work, fantastic dance routines and uniquely satisfying music video production, I felt it was finally time to check out their full album GANG PARADE Takes Themselves Higher (2017) courtesy of spotify. So this here will be my review for their album, I'll rate each song by a 5 star system, 5 being the highest rating and then give my overall score for the album.

OVERALL

9/10

Wow, this album blew me away from beginning till end, its hard hitting openning track IMINAI UTA drives its fist down your throat followed up by GANG PARADE which is like a kick to the ribs! As those two tracks get the party started Are you kidding? keeps it going with its extremely fun vibe and catchy chorus breaks. FUTSU NO NICHIJO stands out from all the tracks with its slower tempo and extremely cute vocals but it works and will keep you bobbing your head. Plastic 2 Mercy, my favorite track slowly mesmerizes you before delivering a snake bite of venom to your jugular, banging beats and intoxicating vocals throughout. Half way in FOUL really highlights the excellent vocals these talented young ladies possess and Beyond the Mountain keeps it high octane nearing the the end of the album.
