Finally the new album is available to streaming services
The one thing I will never get over is Ryutaroās vocals. They grip me in such a distraught way- his voice is very . . whiny? But itās amazing. This, with their slower hooks only make the choruses better. Heās one of the bandomen that you can genuinely feel emotion from- some of the songs sound genuinely haunting. I canāt wait to hear the rest of it. So grateful to have music from ćć© for 30 years.

Plastic Treeās new album is extremely well crafted and refined in terms of the instruments and how they worked together on the production and audio engineering.
As a fan I can really give it an 8/10 for the first check
this was my first impression and not my final review!

Hoping mine arrives soon! Iāll hold off listening until then~
Curious what peopleās thoughts on this release are so far?
I think we might have a winner here for people who think theyāve gotten too āsame-sameā over the past several years. This is definitely different.
I really like how distinct every track sounds, you can truly get a sense of which member wrote and composed each song and feel their individual flairs in the music.
Highlights for me are definitely Lime Light and Marchen, currently obsessed with those two.
Marchen was cool. I guess the album really bored me in a way iām not used to. Has it been confirmed that this is their final album?
Not that Iām aware of, at least not yet anyway? Though the photobook, and self-titling of the album are giving me a feeling it might be a surprise end to their careerā¦ Totally irrational thinking on my part, I know.

Interesting! Iām really enjoying Marchen but Limelight is so different for them I canāt get into it.
My favorites so far:
- no rest for the wicked
- Shikabaneze
- Azabana
- Marchen
Iām not quite sure what to think this time around. Iām enjoying it less than the past several albumsā¦ But itās not bad. Just different. Hopefully a grower.
No isnāt their final album! They are very happy for the 30th Anniversary. Akira started to produce/have fun with audio engineering and probably will be on next releases. The band will continue to my happiness yet.

Fair enough. Excited to hear what you have to say, being the authority on Pura around here and all. (Iām surprised my copy arrived so quickly honestly.)

Lime Light is my favourite by far, but the singles , Shikabane-ze and Yoiyami are good repeat listens for me.

I donāt think itās as good as Ink or the following more shoegaze/post-rock influenced releases, but itās definitely their best album in a while. Love the mellow/melancholy atmosphere and I really enjoyed the lenghty first and last tracks. Besides that MƤrchen and no rest for the wicked are my favs.
