Title: Not as good a Viva
Review: For me, this sophmore effort from Cibo Matto is a little bit disappointing. This time around there are less food references one of the things I loved on the first lp and second this album is less wacky and hip-hop oriented with the exception of Sci-Fi Wasabi. You definitely can feel the influence of Sean Lennon on this album. It seems Cibo has gone toward the pop route, which is not good. A plus side of this album is that it demonstrates Miho's great voice, she is way more clear and fluent on this one. Moonchild is a good example on how good Miho's voice is. I like how Cibo is evolving their sound, but this evolution is below par, hopefully the next time around they evolve again for the better. Overall is a good album, but I like Viva better.
Is the review positive or negative?
