100 Favourite Japanese albums: #053 – DAWN WORLD

DAWN WORLD. TRICERATOPS (2002)

DAWN WORLD is perhaps the album that is least typical of the trio’s edgy rock style, leaning more towards lighters-aloft anthems and melancholy break-up ballads that they tend not to do too much of these days – the change in tone certainly struck a chord with me. Not surprisingly, none of the tracks I most favour made it as singles: the mournful sitar/synth heavy Broken and Britpop-influenced New Lover and tender ballad Heaven. I’m not knocking the hits though; without something like Fly Away (which served as the ending theme for NHK’s Pop Jam show) I would never have learned of TRICERATOPS in the first place.
