Yeah, voting Kyogenshou tbh. A truly insanely monstrous opening track. Not unlike...but, well, let's not skip ahead too early...

The mastering on this record is a real earkiller.

this is true of all her records

they're largely good-not-great
this is true. i just really like the "tsumi to batsu" video, hard to separate that image of shiina from the song itself

xp To be sure, but this is the one I always turn off soonest because of it.

i feel like the worst one is tokyo jihen's debut
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 21:28 (five years ago) link
which is about as loud as relationship of command
oh yeah: where's tokyo jihen on streaming :|

It may not be the one with a noise turntablist scratching with a copy of Cluster's 'Curiosum' but it's the one I coted for

/voted
I voted for Kyogenshou, a perfect opener - the flute at the beginning really makes it. this album is my favourite thing she's done, it's the perfect blend of rock anthems and more experimental arrangements
I agree that the first two Tokyo Jihen albums are completely essential. on their albums after that the other members write much more of the music and the results are a bit more inconsistent, though there are plenty of great songs she didn't write throughout their discography including Ideal Days for Ultramarine and OSCA
