Smells Like Nirvana's Spirit3
In no way typically Japanese, don't expect pop metal from three cutesy Japanese wannabe girrrl punks. While I'm quite into that pop-punk new wave Japanese stuff, this was refreshingly different to stuff like Polysics and Plus-tech Squeeze Box, who both have a distinctly Japanese feel to their music (which of course is no bad thing).

To sum up Bleach's sound in a soundbite; they're what Nirvana would have been if they turned to thrash metal.

There are a bunch of tracks (most notably "Kemuri Kemuri Kemuri") which demand jumping around in your bedroom until you hurt yourself -- but then there's also "Sacrifice", which is beautifully moody and tranquil, in an angry way.

It's nothing new, but definitely worth a purchase if you like Nirvana, thrash metal, or even Deerhoof.

loud fast and kinda cool4
Some time in the 1980s while I wasn't paying much attention, the rump of punk fused with the left overs of metal to bring us the likes of Napalm Death, bands who played very loud and fast and whose lyrics amounted to nothing more than inarticulate screaming.
Since then, this form of music has continued to develop, one branch gathering the trappings of goth and an unhealthy interest in bodily functions to bring us the likes of Slipknot, while another took us in an slightly more melodic direction to give us the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Bleach belong to this latter group and would probably get the franchise for Yeah Yeah Yeahs Japan division. But there's the difference, they're Japanese and they're all girls and that's way cool.
They weren't exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently mining a rich seam of garage music with a 60's feel and warped attitude (The Raveonettes! Massive!)but there's a charm to this cd which puts me in the mood to give it a chance.
If a disc can open your mind to a whole musical genre you'd previously dismissed as "noise", it's got to have something!
Five stars if you like this kind of thing. Four from me, because I generally don't.

yep!5
This album has a noise to it to rival guitar wolf, although it is much more punk metal than rock and roll. Many of the longer songs have quieter moments that bring out the melody of the song, these are brief and lovely. The album is short and since i got it it has stayed on my cd player, it rocks! Plus the singer can sing just as well as she can scream, which helps. If you love loud things get this. This band needs you and when you hear them you will need them too.
