Dragon Ash - The Day Dragged On

Review by Ronald Fitzwater

Dragon Ash's 2001 album, The Day Dragged On, is a masterpiece of Japanese rock. The album is a combination of rock, hip-hop, and electronic music that creates a unique and captivating sound. The songs are melodic and catchy, with lyrics that are both poetic and thought-provoking.

The album's opening track "The Day Dragged On" sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's a slow, brooding song that builds in intensity as it progresses. Other standout tracks include "I Love Hip Hop," a tribute to the genre that has influenced the band's sound, and "Grateful Days," a song about appreciating life's simple pleasures.

One of the album's strengths is its diversity. The band seamlessly blends different genres and styles, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The use of electronic elements adds an extra layer of depth to the music, creating a futuristic feel that is still relevant today.

Summary by Ronald Fitzwater

The Day Dragged On is a must-listen for fans of Japanese rock and anyone who appreciates innovative and genre-defying music. Dragon Ash's unique sound is on full display, and the album is a testament to their creativity and talent.
