New Album: Capsule - Stereo Worxxx & New Single: Step on the floor

Capsule are finally back with a new album and I simply can't believe it's been almost a year since they released World of Fantasy. Toshiko Koshijma and Yasutaka Nakata are back on that grind. I see that Toshiko went for the longer hair this year, probably because MEG's hair is getting shorter by the minute.

Anyway so far I really like the cover, but I'm not feeling the hair. I preferred the wig she was sporting on World of Fantasy, but as long as the album slays my life I'm cool with it. The album is set to be released on March 7, a good month from now. The first single "Step On The Floor" was released today at midnight on the Japanese iTunes-store. They just have released the new track list:

Standard Edition

1. Feelin' Alright
2. Never Let Me Go
3. In The Rain
4. Dee J
5. Step On The Floor
6. Tapping Beats
7. All The Way
8. Motor Force
9. Transparent

Limited Bonus Disc

1. Feelin' Alright ( Extended-Mix )
2. Never Let Me Go ( Extended-Mix )
3. In The Rain ( Extended-Mix )
4. Dee J ( Extended-Mix )
5. All The Way ( Extended-Mix )
6. Motor Force ( Extended-Mix )

The tracklist's length is pretty much what we get every year from Capsule, not to long and not to short. I guess they rather have less songs than having a filler in there that ruins the whole thing. As to the single "Step On The Floor", is quite nice I won't go all in on a review, because I only listened to it once. What I could make out, is that there's a lot of vocals and the production stinks of Perfume's latest album JPN. Yes, I get it Nakata had his fingers on both projects, but I would have wished that he went with something well...how to put this, more "original". Don't get me wrong I like the song, but it didn't slay my life as much as the single "World of Fantasy" did or the album track "PRIME TIME". Yes, I am a fan since last year, and I know that they're sound used to sound different and less mainstream, but still before you roast a bitch let me tell you that I also enjoy they're older work.

Give "Step On The Floor" a listen here.

I guess, at this point I'll just shut up and give the new single another listen, don't be shocked if I comeback an edit my opinion on this one.

New Album: Lana Del Rey - Born to Die

STOP YOUR ENTIRE LIFE! 

Today it's January 27th, this means a certain lady has dropped probably one of the most anticipated albums of 2012. Ms. Lana Del Rey is here to stay and all the haters, stay pressed. So all the people who actually enjoy good music, please follow this link to buy Lana's new album. It's simply flawless.

I've been listening to it for the last couple of days since it leaked online and now I can listen to it with a good feeling behind it because I have my pre-ordered copy, the deluxe version, might I add.

A review of this masterpiece will follow shorty, so stay tuned for it. I can already say that's really really good, and she does not disappoint on a single song. If this doesn't get to #1 at one point I don't understand people, because this is real music. Songs like "Radio", "Dark Paradise", "Lolita", "Off to the races" and "Summertime Sadness" are on par with her smash hits "Video Games" and "Born to Die".

Choose your last words.

 This is the last time...cause you and I we were born to die!
