A laid-back, eclectic mix of music
The subtle shift is apparent from the very start, as "Can we speak" hangs on a lead riff and an almost-solo more upfront than anything on the album, albeit far too slowly played to register as overly flashy and hyped.

But more effective than these ruminations are the tracks where saru switches up their meta-aware music-about-music tendencies for the better, progressing from songs about making songs to songs about the irresistible urge to build a soundtrack to mirror one's own life. In a way, "Peace and brocolis" fits this category as well; if nothing else, it's about wanting to enhance an already, er, stimulating experience with the proper audio accompaniment. "Volume 3" is even more direct, fetishizing the process of creating the perfect mixtape in painstaking detail, right down to breaking the tabs "so you can't tape over it ever." The zenith of this subject is clearly reached on "Pulp", the single that amps up the central riff and slow motion warped backing vocals to make the song's dead-on coming-of-age headphones drama properly triumphant.

The near similarity in production values aren't always an improvement, however, as it occasionally comes at the sacrifice of the band's scrupulous spontaneity.

Can we speak now, as he fumbles and crashes and destroys the apartment in his fit of rage..As she walks out his life and out the front door forever.

Far departure...the buzz of the electric fan, the sound of the clock ticking by his bedside cabinet, the siren of the police car as it drive pass his motel. In a far off land in a far off place. He wonders why on earth, he came to this places.

Dreams..He lays in bed and slowly starts to drift off into a peace filled sleep. And then his inner voice starts to speak to him. And he thinks of his lover, his soul mate, that passed away. A year and a day ago.. He still dreams of their love making and moments of fun and happiness to this very day. He dreams and she comes back alive to him. Like as thou, she never left him and actually died in real live a year and a day ago to this very moment that he lays in bed dreaming of her.

process filled...They watch on the monitor in the space control room as the space craft start to fire all its rocket fuels and start to take off into the night sky. And the room fills with drama, action and thrilling excitement as the astronauts prepare for the final take of procedure.

China blue disaster.. the day after the holocaust of a major disaster to strike China blue.. The birds are still alive and the rain drops of acid rain drips and pours down outside and the destruction is devastating and horrific to the naked eye.Somber, death like feelings enter your mind and heart. As you think of the place no longer being home and safe and secure. But now a former shell of its self. That will take a long time to rebuild and recover if it ever does...
