Greatest the Hits!!

yeah yeah it's been a while since the last time I posted a review :P

I was too busy. This sem has been HECTIC. Before this I thought that this sem will be a very laid back one since I'm only doing my internship but I was wrong. Hence, I have no time to listen to stuff. My list is getting longer =.=" I've been listening to the same song over and over and over and over again. Some of my peeps know why *nudge nudge wink wink*.

Recently I've been listening to local music as well, so reviews comin' up :) this time I'mma review my fave band of all time--Maximum The Hormone.
They released new single entitled Greatest The Hits around March if I'm not mistaken.. I've found out about it when I saw sakosakosakkon's update on youtube. He never cover any song other than MTH's, so I knew something was up!! They released an MV!! I was so very dang frickin really surprised. It was Chiisana Kimi No Te and Maximum the Hormone. A medley. 



 I was like  001_v2 when I saw the video because it was so... pop... Moreover, what's with Nao's side curled ponytail?! Also, She has LIPGLOSS on and she's cheerfully taking a walk in the park??!!! WHERE IS MY HEADBANGING DOUBLE PEDAL-ING NAOOOOOO??!!

The other guys' attire weren't as usual (y'know black graphic tees and sneakers/sandals except for Ue-chan who is always shirtless) but instead they were wearing some kind of tracksuits! @#$%^& AND WHY THERE ARE KIDS IN THEIR MV?!?!?!? I mean, if rotten babies, then maybe. But cute baby?!?!? And since when Daisuke-han become scream-less?!?!?

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLLLLLDDDDD???????!!!!!!!

I was really sad because I thought when they finally make an appearance again after a pretty long hiatus they will knock my socks off but then.. this?!?!
And then I said to myself "well, even though they've become like this, I will still love you MTH! I'll never forget how awesome you guys were :'( This song is not bad anyway *sob* and then I continued watching.
In the middle of all the 'happy and hopeful' kind of mood, the camera zoomed out and it turned out that the song was being played on TV with Ryo on top of it

VOMITING!!!!

and then he came in with his riffs, a little fill in from Nao, a big jump and then GROOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLL!!!

My MTH's back!!!!

And then the rest was mind blowing. Like always *roll eyes*.
The level of evilness was normal (nothing trumps Tsume Tsume Tsume), and the bass lines was different since Ue-chan tapped a lot and used some effects! The concept of the video also was quite 'religious' I would say, because of the chant-like verse and everybody's style of playing. You'll know what I mean when you see the video. It's quite visual. Hopefully those aren't really chants tho :p I have yet to find the lyrics and their meaning.
If on Tsume Tsume Tsume they used kind of a bdsm theme, they have pregnant ladies with gas masks and dolls this time. Pretty creepy I admit :P

Oh! Fyi, Chiisana Kimi No Te is not included in the single. The other 2 songs sounds like typical MTH stuff-- punkish and funkish yet heavy with a hint of pop and cuteness in it :P
 
now you see why I heart them?
