I'll never forget early October of last year when I heard and saw Kaqriyo Terror Architect for the first time via their music video for Kagome Kagome on youtube and was completely blown away! It was unlike anything I heard so far in my J-Idol venture and I was hooked by their unique style, catchy chorus and banging beats. Mid March of this year they dropped their first album Cultural Mixing (2018) and 2 weeks later I had the pleasure of immersing myself in its entirety via 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.
track #1 Yubikirigenman ***** (5)
track #2 Hide and Seek ***** (5)
track #3 Onioinumaondo **** (4)
track #4 Therefore? ***** (5)
track #5 Hybrid Taboo ***** (5)
track #6 Irohani Collage *** (3)
track #7 Kaqriyo Capriccio *** (3)
track #8 Original Satire ***** (5)
track #9 Makafushigism ***** (5)
track #10 Like A Fake **** (4)
track #11 Kagome Kagome ***** (5)
OVERALL
9/10
This album goes for the jugular and kicks off hard and heavy taking a break halfway in with Irohani Collage which sounds like some of the more traditional Idol music out there but once Original Satire opens up it's back to an all out assault on the senses all the way till the last track, Kagome Kagome. A few standouts for me are the catchy Hide and Seek which has become my favorite track, Therefore? which sounds as if a mad scientist was behind its experimental production, it's extremely unique. Never is a break from the norm and it really showcase's the vocal work of the young ladies and Makafushigism is a straight up party for your ears you'll definitely be shaking your ass to it.
I highly recommend this album and it's available to listen to on spotify as well as a few of their earlier EP's. If you want to purchase a physical copy I'll include the link to their official site below.
