Idk why but i feel like this album is really depressing, it just feels sad Edit: That was my first impression of this album... "idk it just feels sad". I've been over-analizing this album for quite a while and here are my thoughts about it: The overall feel of this album is devastating. With this album, Masami is giving depression a texture, the whole proyect is about anger overtaking sadness. Even on the cover art you can get a glimpse of what this album is about, since Elephants are sometimes used to depict depression (something heavy that will only fade slowly). Here, the noise represents anger (obviously) in its pure raw form and on every track it always builds up (except on the interludes of course). You can hear a whole story throughout the record and "Music box" is the most human moment on it, i really like how that guitar sample stays there for almost the whole track and how the noise gets harder and harder. As if the character here is finally having a moment of peace, but that's just the calm before the storm. Also, the repetitive use of only one or two samples per track might represent an intrusive thought in most of these tracks. And i can go on and on talking about what this album represents and what i think it actually is, but i don't have enough time right now to do it... So i'll leave it there. This album is depression, basically. A really cool approach made by the legend of noise, Merzbow.

When i first encounter this album i was mesmerized by it's sound, now that i gave the album several listens and over analized it, i can say it is one of his best albums and truly a must listen to any Harsh noise fan. Btw i was thinking about editing my comment and put my thoughts on it, it's now old it was just my first impression of the album, "idk it just feels sad"
I love when a song is obviously shit but people trolls saying something like "It's beautiful" or "a religious experience" in the comments, like those fake amazon reviews ahah
@@cheeryweeb134 the sound design makes me feel like i'm in a massive crumbling cathedral. i love the cycling organs and scorching harsh noise which just grows and overtakes the whole track. it feels like the apocalypse. not a troll, i swear. i genuinely have a taste for and enjoy this sort of stuff.
@@cheeryweeb134 this album feels uncharacteristically accessible and musical for him, more than a lot of his stuff. i can totally understand and respect not liking masami's work at all, but don't try to invalidate those who do genuinely get something out of it
Probably his best record I've heard. The popular records of his don't have much dynamics or emotion. But this is a harsh disturbing work that truly scares you.
@ my personal tastes lean strongly to Wolf Eyes, early Controlled Bleeding: body samples, anything (Mathew Bower) by Skullflower: carved roses/shaking codex/shot at heaven/orange, (Gary Mundy) Ramleh: hole in heart/too many miles, malediction, Whitehouse: asceticists, twice is not enough
God imagine listening to this on cd when it released
I can no longer function without this.
Early laptop era merzbow has my heart
90's analogue all the way but I love this album
I've had such grand revelations whilst listening to this album

Sad? Why?

Not gonna lie, I feel a sadness in this album too. I don’t know why
@@yodafo236 can you please link to where he said that he was giving depression a texture?,As it sounds more like your interpretation.
@@606808909 It is my interpretation, Merzbow doesn't do interviews
Inside looking out Pt.2 reminded me of the beginning of Manson's "The Dope Show".
Inside Looking Out pt 1 is a religious experience, one of his most ambitious and devastating releases

@@icarusmachines he knew the apocalypsis was coming, it's amazing that we are living the Revelations!

You’re wretchedly wrong on all accounts. No dynamics? No emotion? Listen harder. There’s a plethora more than just flat walls of noise going on. Dumb.
He has nearly half a thousand bro keep digging
who the fuck would dislike this?
Most people I like it but its not normal
everyone who listens to pop music
@@REMdonor most close minded take lol
someone with a fire extinuisher stuffed up their ass

goodass album, love it
incredible...💥💥💥
I need this in flac...
Would that really matter with this much distortion? That's a genuine question
@@Zenith_Star69 having a cd rip of this makes everything sound like it rooming around you
this album is so crazy i love it :D
This remind me so much of the God is War albums
Anarchomerzbow
It’s good- but I don’t think I like Japanese style noise, I like the British or USA noise
Ah man, please point me in the direction of some good American and British noise artists
