81That the archaic should sound this fresh is at least a mini-miracle.
-
80It's four-on-the-floor disco that thumps its way through this polyphonic orchestral funk like a bully. [#51, p.92]
-
70It's just plain good party music.
-
In comparison with many imitators, Tanaka does what he does well... [Aug 2001, p.88]
-
The only drawback to Beautiful is that it's often too reminiscent of Stereolab, the pop art pastiche of Pizzicato Five, and Tanaka's own 1999 release, Luxury.
-
20Devoid of Tanaka's usual unpredictability, Beautiful is bland, linear and frequently downright dull, with entirely too many six, seven and eight-minute songs running out of ideas long before the halfway mark.
