This release from emerging Japanese band Nisennenmondai shows some serious potential. On the good side, this CD has some seriously interesting songs. Their song structure is similar to their Japanese counterpart Boredoms. It stays relatively raw and punky, all the while having a distinctly Japanese precise off-timing. The sound is dirty and refreshing, and even though very consistent throughout, it remains sonically interesting on every song. On the not-so-good side, Destination Tokyo is much too short as a whole and the songs are a bit long. This could be because they recorded this one time through. They linger long times without many changes. At the end of listening to the CD all the way through, you’re not sure whether or not you want to listen to it again. The songs have parts that are memorable but your finger is always on the advance button. Overall, pretty good but could use some editing and improvement.
