The album reached number on 3 the Oricon chart and received generally positive reviews.[3] Time magazine praised the album's "chugging three-chord rock", and said "all the hallmarks of classic Japanese rock are here, but amped up and hardened for a more streetwise generation." [4]

gollark: I don't know many of the underlying implementation details.
gollark: They do have lots of memory bandwidth.
gollark: And are optimized for simple number-crunching workloads and not complex branchy things like CPUs.
gollark: IIRC they mostly have quite bad latency in doing anything ever, but make up for it by switching between a lot of threads while waiting on memory accesses etc.
gollark: They aren't really constrained by binary compatibility, so each GPU architecture can randomly change the instruction set round.
