Japan

Zeitgeist

Well, I picked up Zeitgeist in Hokkaido. The Japan bonus track is "Death from Above" ( B-Side from "Tarantula" ).

If you enjoyed the Judas Priest / Sabbath influenced tSP heavy rock catalogue, you may well enjoy this album. There is not much left of the dream-pop of Siamese Dream, etc, and likewise the sense of grandeur that accompanied albums like Melloncollie is also gone ( although perhaps this aspect will improve with relistening ).

Part of the vocal melody on "Neverlost" is very similar to "Bloodflowers" ( Bloodflowers, The Cure, 2000 ). ( tC: "Between you and me,...", tSP: "You make what you want of me..." )

I liked it, but it hasn't grabbed me by the throat as other offerings have ( even the single Zwan album ). I will give it some more listens and some more thinking.
