If you Ever Thought Music was stagnant: Listen to #4 by Ling Tosite Sigure (Review)

#4 by Ling tosite sigure released by Nakano Records

Absolutely wonderful! From going off the songs that I most enjoyed from Best of Tornado (Hyper Tornado Edition) by Ling Tosite Sigure I thought for sure I might like #4 and it proved true. Is Ling Tosite Sigure's sound ever raw in this, besides TK's voice! Though I am sure some people wouldn't like it I like things that are more natural in music. 

You see perfectly polished music isn't everything sometimes but I think this might be a particular taste of mine in music. 

So yes. Be aware that while in my view this album (yet another one) is without flaw, others may think otherwise considering did notice that Crazy Kanjou Style did seem to present some microphone problems in the recording and it interfered with the sound source of TK's voice. Though since I find TK's voice incredibly charming I did not much see a difference either way.

Other than that, must say #4 continues to make me see that Ling Tosite Sigure thrives on beautiful guitar patterns (with occasional divergent patterns within songs to keep listener's from completely internalizing the music) and expert drumming. Nothing new there but since I am continuing to explore their music I still continue to be impressed by where all this inspiration is coming from. It is totally unreal how many songs are so beautiful and continually different, not to mention my ears continue to detect newly tapped musical territory each and every time. It's great because sometimes I worry music has become too stagnant for my tastes.
