Professional Reviews:

-Amazon Japan

This is AKG’s fourth (original) album. The melody has increased and it has a sharp edge in comparison with the last album. And the theme "world" has a ponderous effect on the music. If you love music, you can probably not pass this, the universal, ultimate album.

-Excite Japan

This album was long awaited after an interval of about two years. This work has a good flow and is a rock album of destructive powerful swing. The band’s sound has regained its initial power, and the lyrics have become more acute than before.
