Inertia is raw yet melodic,funky yet tuneful journey
crazy reggae, punk ,funk,and rock-ballads.All with the singularly
awe-inspiring presence of the TenGooz trombone player.
There is no filler here. No need for a greatest hits album
with this band.

ですぐに好きになってしまいました。awesomeですよこの音は。まさかIbaraki prefectureでこんなハイブリッドな音楽がひとしれず誕生していたとは(近くなので個人的にすごくうれしい)。ほかのアルバムも聴いてみたいと素直に思いました。
I don't have a good knowledge of funk or reggae music, so I know I'm not qualified to utter something meaningful about it,
but I'm sure of this album's musical value. High-energetic,
wavy,and sometimes sorrowful rhythms in one. There are gems and trash in JAMENDO,but I profess this album is one of the gems.

I thought these song's where going to be sung by some guy from Japan in Japanese,but nice try guys go back and work on it some more, you don't have the feel for reggae yet.

なんとなくヤードバーズとかの頃の'70年代の雰囲気も交ざってたりして面白い。
いろんなテイストが交ざって面白いサウンドだ。

The TenGooz are an interesting blend of genres, they play well, good voice, great tunes. But beyond being well done, there's a sense of humor and craziness that just sets them aside as classic.

Almost all reviewers praise this album as if it was a masterpiece. Gimme a break! It's good, but nothing more. I like the trombone, not so often used in such popular music. Melodies are quite nice and catchy. Blending so many genres on one album (even on single songs!) is done quite wisely, so the result is not chaotic but raising interest. But...

It's too nice, smooth and lightweight. The result is these songs lack power and don't impress like they should.

The same can be said about the singer's voice, which is sooo nice, pleasing, delicate and sweeeet. He could make a big career in a boy band. Teenage girls would be delighted. But music with roots in funk, punk, rock etc. need completely different voice and completely different manner of singing.

"Johnny I" is an anti-war protest song??? :-0 I would never guess judging from the song's shiny happy atmosphere. "Kanashibari" is about a creepy medical condition??? :-0 So it's not about sweet girly eyes, what singer's voice and intonation suggests? ;-)

So 7 out of 10 is a rating with a credit... In hope they are capable of setting the stage on fire during their live acts. Instead of sweetening the public to death, what they are trying to achieve on this recording...

A Divine wind from the Far East.
Passion and politics.
Face to face is my fave.
Love it all though.
Infatuation is the greatest song ever written about a stalker!

Stranger by the tengooz moves me. I know how to be a
stranger in another country. I has a good beat and good
instruments.
Kanshibari is another song i understand.
i had kanashibari feeling many times.
Tengooz are best live.
