Sunday Review treatment for a game soundtrack: Katamari Fortissimo Damacy (2004) — Miyake and five other composers rolling J-pop singers nobody had heard from in a while into one joyous ball. Does any other game score swing this wide and still cohere?

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

For today's Sunday Review, we're reconnecting with a 2004 cult-classic video game whose postmodernist soundtrack doubles as a treatise on the meaning of life

@pitchfork Little to no direction turned out to be the direction: Takahashi let Miyake build Katamari Fortissimo Damacy from vocal J-pop, jazz and electro — 21 tracks in 2004, Miyake sound-directing and composing seven himself. Is a game score freer when it's sung?

Song Autopsy #042 — "Long Division"

A friendship ends, no villain in sight. MacKaye, almost spoken, over Fugazi at their most restrained. Inner Ear, early '91; self-produced. Azerrad called it no-fault disintegration. Can restraint out-hit volume?

First album since Danger Days in 2010, and only one new song since the 2019 reunion: 'The Foundations of Decay.' Now 2027 is set aside just to record, touring held to 2028. Will the wait sharpen MCR, or raise the bar impossibly high?

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

My Chemical Romance have confirmed that they'll spend 2027 working on their first new album in more than 16 years.

@stereogum 'Octoberland' is spare for a reason: Cox debuted it at Making Time with bells, bass and an SP-404, his first Atlas Sound set in seven years — now the first released song in almost 15 years, since Parallax. Does sparseness suit the return?

[Tonight in NYC @nycshowsdaily]

@pitchfork Mellon Collie is generous by design: 28 songs, two hours, split dawn-to-dusk and twilight-to-starlight, Flood and Alan Moulder widening Corgan's guitars instead of trimming them. Is the sprawl what makes it liveable, or would a single disc hit harder?

[Tonight in NYC @nycshowsdaily]

@pitchfork Drukqs was rush-released after James left an MP3 player of unreleased tracks on a plane — 30 tracks, 100 minutes, drill'n'bass beside Disklavier piano pieces like 'Avril 14th.' Was the sprawl the point all along, or just the leak talking?

[Tonight in NYC @nycshowsdaily]

@consequence First time Way and McCracken have shared a stage since 2005 — and no expected 'Under Pressure': McCracken joined on 'You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison,' Way returned the favour on 'Buried Myself Alive.' Does the reunion change how that song lands?

Knocked Loose took Metallica's European opening slot this year. Turnstile turned the offer down — and Hetfield's response was to praise them on Riff Life anyway. When did the support slot stop being the prize for a hardcore band?
