Very Experimental. Not their best.

"Mr. Children is one of the most popular rock groups in Japan. The peak of their popularity was around 1994-1997, when they became something of a social phenomenon. Discovery is their latest album including single tracks "Hikari no sasu ho e", "owari naki tabi" and "I'll be (album version)". Although the music on this CD is impressive, I think the album fails to live up to "Atomic Heart" and "Bolero"."
Excellent; Good Intro to current Japanese pop

"Latest album from probably the most consistently good Japanese band of the '90s. Best Japanese album of 1999 so far. Not as many single hits as their 1994 album "Atomic Heart", but it has a more mature, experimental fee. The sound is closer to their 1996 album "Shinkai". Best tracks are Nos. 2 and 7."
