As a huge lynch fan, i’am sad to say… almost 0 hype for this. Singles were generic af, nothing bad, but i’d prefer something far from lynch or more voice experimentations for a solo career. At least with Funeral even if it was boring its highlight well his voice in an interesting way like DEG unplugged versions.

Still gonna give it a listen ofc and hope for surprises.

I really liked FUNERAL, as it showed he can actually sing and hold himself without the band.
In contrast his new music is just even worse poppy lynch.

Breaking the combo here to say I’m totally stoked for this. I found the music he released solo to be significantly more varied and interesting. I’ve liked all the songs one way or another so far, which is much more than I can say for basically any Lynch release. I’m ready for this!!

I’m indifferent—but there hasn’t been anything new and good lately, and I like Hazuki so I’ll probably pick it up.

His first solo album was good but it can be a long listen if you’re not in the right mood. The newer songs have more energy and a couple of catchy hooks so I’m hoping the next one is an easier listen. We already know the dude can sing and write after years of composing for lynch. so I don’t see any reason not to be cautiously optimistic.

Agree. It was a bit boring to me when it first came out, better when I’m in the right mood. It’s not bad by any means though.

Hazuki has the musical experience of a weathered veteran and still peddles pedestrian attempts.

Not impressed.

Not gonna lie, this sounds like the same regurgitated garbage that has been released in the scene for the past 10 years.
Big meh.

I really like this! Sure, there are a couple of cheesy-as-f*** tracks (such as the above single), but for the most part it just sounds like a more poppy version of Lynch, which surely can’t be a bad thing

I don’t have high expectations for solo projects. I like Hazuki in lynch. However, this is a fun song. Wouldn’t listen to it on repeat, but it’s not bad.

LOL what?? Even splitting the event over two days makes slightly more sense. (briefly: people who bought Egoist can join a timed one to one talk session online, each lasting 50 seconds). But he’s doing it from 12 to 10 pm…

Just listened to this a few times, and I’ve got to admit I’m really liking it. Minus the 2 jazzy throwaways, there’s some good stuff here. LIGHT is a highlight for me; his voice really shines in that one, and it’s really catchy.

Concept of the album: What if lynch. did anime openings?
