SID brings their 1st original album in over 3 years ! The band ambitiously creates their own genre dubbed Reiwa Kayo for the album Umibe , which tells 10 love stories .
I wrote before that for any artiste that chose not to include any prior released singles in an album that says a lot on how confident the artiste felt about the material & that's quite evident in SID's latest album offering Umibe .
While it's a bit unfortunate SID didn't include delete , Houkiboshi & Star Forest in Umibe , they free up space for more new songs in return & on whole Umibe is actually good .
On 1st look 10 songs for a studio album might felt little but for Umibe , it's quality over quantity & with the 3 SID members handling composing for different songs in the album , the result is Umibe is very musically diverse on whole .
SID has been around for a really long time & with a release like Umibe , I don't think they're going away anytime soon .
