Shape Shifter Makai Eiyuu Den (PC Engine CD) (TurboGrafx-16) (gamerip) (1992)

My Rating: 8/10
Personal Favorites: Track 4


This album has a good deal of funk to it but it's damaged by various peccadillos. The instuments go between being fun (that nice synth guitar in tracks one and three) to harsh at times (there's some popping in Journey [3] that ruins an otherwise good song). The vocals in the track The End are also somewhat weak and I'm not a fan of the edginess, although the guitar is good. Among the gems in the lyrics are: "Truth becomes your skin you see" and "The dreaming ****s across your will." ...What? This is why I've grown to appreciate Japanese music- If they're saying dumb things in the vocals, I can't understand it. I can only feel it in my bones when it's too weeaboo.
