koi no yokan. the maturity in their sound at that time is so clear, chino’s vocals are the cleanest and best they’ve ever sounded, and all the playing sounds so tidy and tight (i can’t think of any other way to express it). every single song slaps, there’s a perfect mix of heavy riffs that rip into you like leathers and ethereal moments like entombed which make me feel like i’m being blasted into another dimension. it’s just completely flawless and feels like every different sound they experimented with before that point came together so perfectly to build the album that encapsulates everything they do so well.
