Strong debut
4

I remember when this album came out in Japan late 2007, it simply blew away OOR's first two EPs ("ONE OK ROCK" and "Keep it real", respectively). A strong, promising debut album, but in all honesty, far from perfect. It was lacking in some areas. They still weren't quite there yet, but they proved they had what it took to hit the mark (which I felt they eventually did with their 3rd album, "Kanjou Effect"). I think the first six tracks are solid and fresh, but after that only track 10 ("Etcetera") had my attention. The other four tracks felt like filler to me. And yet, at the time of the album's release, this band was definitely one to watch out for. All in all, "Zeitakubyou" is definitely worth the listen.
