During their experimental interlude in 2018 and early 2019, some fans openly wondered whether the band were “going soft”. They need not have worried.
"This is like being punched and hugged at the same time." For anyone thinking they were getting too poppy, this was a
bracing slap in the face. Just for good
measure they threw the conventional structural formula for songwriting out the
window.

“Blooming” (Dec. 2019)
This has a more conventional structure than “Rinne” but is even more of a showcase for the band’s virtuosity. Saiki adds some rapid-fire rapping to a solid vocal performance, Kanami keeps up a frenetic yet melodic running lead and adds a short, savage solo, and Akane underpins it all with syncopated rhythms and fills. But it’s more than a technical tour-de-force—it’s catchy, with the compelling groove of the greatest classic rock songs.
