Akatuki is a punk band that rarely deviates far from their chosen genre. Being a fan, I geared myself up for more of Akatuki's usual punk sound. When the intro for the first track "Cypher Chord" began I wasn't surprised, then a small change in tempo and rough harmonies, that was interesting. The second song "Dangan Liner" took the usual up a notch, making distortion inspiring. By the third track "Dead Heat Sunday" the album had my full attention, and then the crash, literally. Despite the promise of the first three songs, the next three tracks "Hachibangai no Higeki," "Unchain" and "G.B.G.H" seemed to drag the album back down to the usual punk fare. Then "Ashita ha Nai" exploded through the speakers, kicking off the remarkable last half of Akatuki's first full album. From this point on forget everything you thought you knew about Akatuki. "Caffeine" with its electronic twist and "Yoru no Iriguchi" rock guitar riffs, will satisfy even the most hard core fans, while taking the band's sound beyond the expected. With the final four tracks Akatuki harnesses all that creativity, infusing the psychedelic elements of "Crown " and the rockabilly of "Crown Rakuyou" with punk energy. Though Akatuki might be drawing from a more diverse musical palette, make no mistake the album is punk first to last. Incorporating subtle and blatant influences from pop, to rockabilly, Akatuki steps outside of their box, giving Juggernaut a range not seen since the single Galaxy Drive. Juggernaut won't break any new ground for music as a whole, but it is confirmation that a band can stretch their limits and come out a winner. |
