Music reviews of Kimi Ga Suki* Raifi
Music Review: "We are not so many worlds apart"
Rating: 5 Stars
Since "Blue Sky on Mars," I lost track of what Matthew Sweet was putting out. I still love "100% Fun." It is one of my favorite albums but, since "Blue Sky" wasn't quite as good, I lost interest. Well, running across reviews for "Kimi Ga Suki * Raifu," my interest in Sweet piqued once again. Boy, I'm glad I didn't miss this album! It is incredible! The liner notes explain that Sweet wrote all the tracks over a one-week period and recorded them without any demos. Well, I guess that was a recipe for success. The proof is in the pudding! The album is a gift to his Japanese fans (Sweet calls it a "love letter to Japan") and was originally not released in the United States. It is worth owning as an import for the higher price but, I'm glad it is available here.
"Dead Smile"(3:01): Cute little opening rocker, but better tracks are to come including 3 slam-dunks in a row!
"Morning Song" (2:37): Man, this is way too short! One of my favorite tracks on this album. Pleasant, kickback feel.
"The Ocean In-Between" (2:49): Wow, what a beautiful rocker! Definitely a tribute to his Japanese fans. The chorus is wonderful with the sweetest lyrics!
"I Love You" (4:39): Awesome rocker! Grabs you right away! The chorus is amazing! You WILL be addicted to this track!
"I Don't Want to Know" (2:29): OK, we got the 3 slam dunks out of the way (there are 3 more to come). This is a nice, pleasant, soft, yet upbeat, track.
"Warning" (2:53): I actually did not like this song at first. I thought its opening was weak, but it gets better with each listen.
"Spiral" (1:51): Now we're talking! But why do such awesome tracks have to be so short!? I want MORE of this! Dark, furtive-sounding, undertones with excellent background guitar!
"Love is Gone" (3:28): Slow and quiet number.
"Hear This" (3:22): Slam dunk time again! The awesome verses kick! In fact, the chorus is almost a let-down. It is a little country-sounding but not enough to detract.
"Wait" (2:39): OK, not a slam dunk, but still another pleasant track with soft vocals.
"Tonight We Ride" (2:45): Now, this IS a slam dunk! Flat out rocks from beginning to end! Great guitar, awesome chorus! Best track here!
"Through Your Eyes" (5:10): I can see why this is the final track as it has that feel to it. It is a nice, catchy song. At the 3:56 mark, it bursts into a guitar/drum instrumental and then peters out to end the domestic record.
"Silent Track 1" (1:50): I actually ordered the unenhanced domestic version, but received the enhanced one anyway. If you are wondering if the extra track is worth possibly paying additional money for the enhanced version, it is silence at first and then Sweet sings "Sayoonara --I will see you some time soon." I would say it is only for completests.
