No, I mean literally. This is a recorded document of a stocky, fat Japanese fellow doing the doo into a microphone for nine minutes. I'm sure this fact has left you speechless, it sure left me that way, and it makes the task of reviewing this album far more difficult than any other album I've ever even considered doing. The Gerogerigegege (which translates into the most awesome band name ever: "Vomit Diarrhea Ha Ha Ha!") live up to their title as "The Japanese Ultra Shit Band" by making an album made up of glorious wet farts, splashing, determined panting, and all sorts of indescribably horrific noises. Each piece is kicked off with a "WON-TWO-FWEE-FWOAAAH" count typical of the Gero before answering to nature's call. Despite being completely and undeniably unsettling to listen to, it's droll in a generally juvenile way. Night is actually an entirely interactive experience, and can bring all sorts of joy to your outside world. Here's a handy-dandy list that describes how this EP can benefit you: 1. Cry "WON-TWO-FWEE-FWOAAAAAAH!" before making a number two. I'm sure you, like most people, have experienced someone walking in on you with your pants around your ankles. Never want that to happen again, right? Well, live in fear no more for the Gero will set you free! By letting out this cry on a regular basis, not only are you giving yourself a small dose of amusement, you are able to warn the other residents of your home to stay away from the bathroom. Whatever it is you do in there for so long. I'm not here to judge. Also causes public bathroom and jail (that might be redundant, because either way SOMEONE is always trying to watch you go) insanity. 2. Play this around other people. The older the better. Many kids today try and get a rise out of their parents by playing "loud" and "angry" music like Disturbed or Atreyu. Oh, youth is truly wasted on the young! They're really going about it all wrong! One simply needs to play Night and they're bound to get the attention they crave. When you look at it, you're usually listening to shit either way. 3. Make Indie kids shut the fuck up for once. You know that kid. That one kid in the Dethklok shirt who thinks he's hot, subversive shit because he listens to The Mars Volta and Radiohead on his Mac computer down at Starbucks. He sits at the back of the bus with his iPod talking about how awesome some band that no one else listens to is, since they're awful (like Vampire Weekend!). It doesn't take much to launch a "who listens to weirder music" battle, and all you need to do is bring this up and that person will NOT know what to say. Silence is golden, my friends, golden. 4. Drop a burnt copy of this into everyone's locker. This is easily the greatest thing one can do with Night. I know it was personally my favorite activity. You just have to get a giant stack of blank CDs and burn as many copies as you can (trust me, The Gerogerigegege do not care about piracy) before dropping them into as many lockers, purses, book bags, textbooks, and under as many chairs as you can find. What this results in is a bunch of curious teenagers going home and listening to a guy take a dump, and nothing is more satisfying then walking the hallways and hearing people you don't even know talk about how they found a CD of a man "totally taking a shit for, like, EVER. My mom was right there too!" This is interchangeable with giving someone the "new Trivium album." That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sheer amount of fun you can have with Night. I could list a bunch of other things you can do with this album, but finding out for yourself is all part of the fun, all part of the adventure. It is like Indiana Jones but with feces (read: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)! The oddest part of Night is the realization that the album is almost, dare I say, ambient? I mean, what could bring more relief than listening to someone relieve himself ("Boooo!")? Night is probably the most irrelevant release ever, but The Gerogerigegege are a dada band if there ever was one. If you really think about, this release could mean a lot more than it lets on. Maybe The Gerogerigegege are so disillusioned with modern music, seeing it as such banal junk, they might as well actually record some shit themselves. Maybe they're trying to say that the modern scene is so shallow and homogenized, all you really need to make it somewhere music now is some recording equipment and some crap we've all heard before. Or maybe he's just taking a shit. 3.5/5 Edited by Ryth, Dec 10 2008, 10:22 PM.

And then you just did it again because if you didn't give it a 5 because it's misunderstood, that must mean you misunderstood it too, and therefore you wouldn't consider it a masterpiece. But I just noticed that this doesn't have a topic description. Fix that, please.

Hello! =p Posts: 508 Group: Members Member #733 Joined: July 5, 2008	So then why bothering write a review about it? You're not making any sense.
