Reviews

You can really tell that this album proceeded "Yoshimi...". it is very similar in style, many songs have similar themes as well. but it is a bit less produced...a little fresher as a result. For that reason, i sometimes like it even a little better than "yoshimi"...Because of yoshimi' popularity, im a little wary of the radio songs..so soft bulletin is a good alternative. In a word, if you have Yoshimi and like it, this is a great album to get. If you havent gotten either, i highly suggest it. they're a lot more than "tangerine" - the song that was top 40 about 6 years ago that may ring a bell in the back of your head. john
