The BEST CD

"I absolutely love Glay. Their punk rock vocals and music make every song terrific. I believe "Survival" was one of the most popular Japanese songs of 1999. I also like their song "Winter Again" and "Yuuwaku." The guys of Glay are real musicians and you can enjoy their songs even if you don't understand Japanese."
Heavy Gauge is one of GLAY's strongest albums

"There are lots of GLAY fans out there who bash this album, but it's easily one of their best. Just by themselves, the guitar parts in this album are amazing. The complicated layering and rythyms that only Takuro and Hisashi can devise are amazing on this album. Teru takes his voice to new heights and Jiro plays far more interesting basslines than usual. Plus, the singles Be with you and Winter, Again are two of GLAY's best. Ikigai (no. 11), is probably GLAY's best album track on any of their albums (with the possible exception of TWO BELL SILENCE or maybe Hit the World Chart!) I HIGHLY recommend buying this album, especially if you like to listen to ROCK."
Good for the experienced GLAY fan but...

"This is GLAY's most recent album. Of course it's a great album, but not their best. For a long time GLAY fan, this album is absolutely essential for you collection. Of course every fan of GLAY will want all their albums and singles! However, if you are a person who is looking into GLAY for the first time, I do not recommend this album. As this is not their typical sound, you may get mislead. If this will be your first time experiencing GLAY, it would be better for you to buy PURE SOUL first. They have other albums before this, but PURE SOUL and HEAVY GAUGE are the most available and most recent. (So push your back button and check it out!) Overall, Heavy Gauge will be much better for the long time fan of GLAY than for someone who is not so familiar with them. GLAY FOREVER!"
