After spending my last two days off listening to the new AAA Album BUZZ COMMUNICATION, though I was diggin' it, something seemed to be missing in the mix. Looking back, the question that kept popping into my head was: WHERE DID ALL THE FUN SONGS GO? And it's not just Buzz, I even felt this way about their prior alum HEARTFUL...All those songs with light hearted and poppy vibes like “Get Chu!”, “Sunshine”, “Kuchibiru Kara Romantica”, “Winterlander” and “Q” have been one hundred percent AWOL on AAA’s recent releases!
I mean, sure, there were songs on the albums that were in the "upbeat" and “uplifting” category, but GEEZ, when did AAA get so darn SERIOUS?! It seems like every song that isn’t a ballad has that identical Techno Keyboards with the same House Beat Drum Pattern: THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP like it was the music for an SNL skit with Chris Kattan as “Mango” AHAHAHA
Ah well, at least the good news is that all of the songs on Buzz Communication are very catchy (especially Dream After Dream and the very TRF sounding “Digest”) and I love the way the songs all segue right into each other making the whole album feel like one big dance party!
