It’s a very high tempo song that I can imagine being very popular in a live setting. “I do! I do!” does away with the synths and instead focuses on the more traditional guitar and drums setup. I also appreciated the use of hooks, despite the heavy style of music they were going for. There’s also a pretty blood curdling scream in this song that I thought was really impressive, especially seeing as it didn’t seem like they did much of anything to clean it up in post production. It mixes a lot of heavy metal elements with a synth dominated chorus, something we see becoming somewhat of a theme in this particular sub-genre of idols. “Hirari Hira Hira” kicks off what I guess I would consider the real meat of this EP. It’s an enjoyable listen, but I don’t know if an EP is the best venue for this kind of thing. It clocks in at a trim minute and a half which I guess is fine for a piece that isn’t really meant to be doing too much in the first place. It’s basically Guso Drop’s version of “the mix” as well as a member call-out type deal. To be honest, calling this a song might be reaching a little bit. The EP opens with the self-titled song “Guso Drop”. How heavy is it exactly? Well, let’s talk about that shall we? That being said, their music is some pretty heavy stuff. They claim to be the “heaviest idols in the world”, because let’s face it everyone needs a gimmick. Guso Drop have put out several CD releases so far, and “Yume shi” is the latest entry in their discography. That song is still great by the way, but yeah things just kinda fell into place from there and I ended up finding out about Guso Drop. It was 2& that I initially discovered through their song “Negaposi Monster”, back when it was still a duo scenario. For those of you who don’t know, Saki (or, the red one) is also a solo artist under the “2&” moniker. I’ve been an admirer of them for a while now, although I did kinda take a roundabout way of getting into them. Still, disclaimers and all that, especially in this day and age where people get “triggered” by the slightest thing.Īnyways, today Guso Drop finally get an article written about them on this site. Although I guess you’ll probably be fine as long as you don’t press play on any of the videos. That’s kinda exciting right? This release is also a bit heavier than the music I normally review, so readers of a sensitive disposition might want to take this moment to click away now. Oh look, I’m reviewing a release from a group that I’ve never written about before (on this site anyway). My thoughts on the new EP from “the heaviest idols in the world” Guso Drop.
