“But Garry! Avex have no input on the musical direction of BiSH!” I hear you say. Well, we’ll find out pretty soon here won’t we? Perhaps I’m tempering my expectations too much but I’m really only expecting the a-side to be a decent BiSH song that doesn’t try to push the envelope too much. As for the b-side? Well that’s probably going to be the more interesting of the two tracks. So, we’re starting off with “PAiNT it BLACK” of course and things get off to a pretty good start. I’m definitely enjoying that little guitar riff they’ve got going there. Unfortunately after that things drop off quite a bit, and I’m not just talking about my interest here either. Yeah, this is decent BiSH song like I thought it would be coming in. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, but for me I feel like I’ve heard this a bunch of times already with different titles. If the anime company asked for a BiSH sounding BiSH song then full marks for that because that’s what this is. If you’ve heard anything BiSH have released in the past 12 months or so then this is more of the same. If you like that then you’ll love this song, and if you’re getting a little tired of how the music has been sounding lately then this isn’t likely to help. Worth checking out for the guitar riff and I wouldn’t be reaching for the skip button in a playlist but fairly unremarkable otherwise.Īnyone hoping for something a bit more adventurous out of the single’s lone b-side is likely to be disappointed once again by what’s on offer. Much like “PAiNT it BLACK”, “SCHOOLYARD” is by no means a bad song…it just feels like we’re retreading old ground. It’s a “Punk Ballad” in a similar vein to past efforts such as “VOMiT SONG”, which once again I have to stress doesn’t make it a bad song. Everyone’s vocals are on point, the Rock instrumental has the appropriate tempo for the way the lyrics are delivered, there’s nothing technically wrong with anything. Well, I’m not that fond of the chatter they put on the track but it’s not like it’s the end of the world either. It’s just the song isn’t very exciting to me, and it probably isn’t helped by the fact that I share a similar view of the a-side.
