Yattaï - Fast Music Means Love (EveryDayHate)

Sometimes to make the album interesting and memorable for the listener, musicians do not need to do any clever experiments with sound, non-standard construction of the compositions, or some strange rhythm, vocals or other things. They also don't need a beautiful album cover (as in this particular case, because this version of the cover is simply awful, ahaha) Sometimes it's just enough to listen to music couple of times to feel all the love and sincerity that musicians put into their work. As it happens with this French band with a Japanese name. Today I want to tell you about a CD re-release of their latest album, Fast Music Means Love.
This CD has 44 (!) songs. Apparently just reissuing the album in a different format would be too easy for these guys, so they provided the CD with whole bunch of bonus tracks. It includes 16 original tracks from Fast Music Means Love, 5 tracks that were never published and are the most recent records of Yattaï. And it all ends with Alive And Lovin - the live record that was done on the tape.
I think that this album is their most strong and good - the sound is cool and the material itself is incredible. 16 tracks are like a hurricane, destroying everything on its path. Everything is perfect here - the sound of guitars, blast beat drum parts and of course singer's yells and screams. The following 5 unreleased tracks are much worse in terms of the sound, as far as I know that these tracks were mastered by the dude who is not very good in grind... and that's what happened. Live tracks, on the other hand, sounds very cheerful! Sound was recorded from the mixer and was slightly mastered, and it turned out very good. The energy that the guys emit on stage is just tearing the speakers apart.
As a whole, this CD is a great introductory material for those who are too lazy to look at the bunch of other various releases of Yattaï.
