Customer Reviews
Absolutely astonishing!
Yow! For what is barely 25 minutes, this here album manages to come into your world and detonate it with a billion billion sticks of TNT, and always with a big damn smile; then it finishes, and you want more, more, MORE! Still, theres only so much the world can take. 'Teeny Shiny' has to be, along with Godspeed You Black Emperor's '..Antennas to Heaven', the most incredible, astonishing combination of sounds released in 2000, somehow surpassing the genius of 'Charlie' with an equally frenetic but surprisingly varied set of tracks, going from stop-start rhythmic shenanigans on 'Bright Splat' to the insanely catchy almost-pop 'Moon Flavor' via jaw-dropping blasts of sonic doom, particularly 'First Contact to Planet Q'. Damn, its good. Beyond comparison really; whereas much metal is po-faced doom & gloom, Melt Banana are distinctly cheerful and fun - theres no waiting around with these songs, they just charge right in on the back of some mad Japanese manga robot. Essentially a live band, their gigs the kind of nights you tell grandkids about decades later, but this is as close as they've come to capturing their genius. The neighbours might not appreciate it, and if it brings on tinnitus don't blame me, but this really is as good as loud music gets.
High speed sonic action from Japan's finest
This album marks a significant development in Melt-banana's distinctive style. Whilst keeping the same fearsome guitar riffs and sharp, quick fire vocals of their previous records, they have made extensive use of drum machines and samplers. They have taken the traditional rock and roll sound and smashed it to pieces reconstructing it with the energy and sheer originality that they are famed for. Their use of a more traditional pop sound at the core of this album is a progression that makes this their most accessible album to date, whilst still retaining the sound that has already brought them so many fans.
