Lets talk about the the inventor of j-core, Jea. Once upon a time there lived a man named Jea and he decided to popularize a genre of music dedicated to the gabber kick and a sample of an anime tune. Basically, he invented the J-core genre as we all know and love it. With some great album covers for those ear screeching tunes, Jea and his friend: Lemmy decided to make it big with their Live shows and went under the name: "Dj Sharpnel". It's music for weebs by weebs. So why am I talking about this group today?
I have some things to say about this dude.
anyway lets talk about those album covers :)
The intro samples the Cyberteam in Akihabara Theme song with some acid and gabber kicks to it.
However, you can't hear the sample at all unless you got yourself some Headphones or the right speakers that pick up the sample properly. I remember being confused about this for a long time. So much, I thought it was made up but NOOOOOOO IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I FORGOT TO BRING HEADPHONES. Then my headphones broke the same day I made that realization.
crap
How about mad breaks? Everybody likes mad breaks. Y'know... one of their albums that uses a picture of a topless anime girl? Because I have a conscious, I'm not gonna show you the cover. The mad breaks cover is also extremely straightforward sooooooooooo-
How about we stop talking about these album covers? They are all good (except for the ones that reuse the same illustrations). Jea has made a bunch of stinkers in his career to be honest... Every artist has made a mediocre album before but DJ Sharpnel has made a ton of them. I really wanted to like Double-Dutch which has some amazing songs like Psyche Terror and Highspeed Star but most of the tracks are just the same exact copy-paste gabber tracks. The album would be a great ep without all the filler.
3/10
And I'm not disrespecting Jea & Lemmy here, but Just Because an artist did something revolutionary for the music scene doesn't mean that all their music is automatically good. I really forced myself to like this artist and sadly, I had a lackluster experience with Dj Sharpnel and the High Speed Music Team. At least I gave this stuff a try. And I had some fun with it too.:) man these articles take quick turns.
Update: I honestly like making short articles so... Gonna make some more short articles in the future I guess...
