Cages - "Better Mistakes"(LP:one side)

Germany's Cages deliver their latest album for 2025, showcasing a far more focused direction than their previous work and charging headlong into a defiantly unapologetic 00s screamo style.

While emphasizing quite raw elements, they express melodic and dramatic songs through dynamic performances. Seriously, it's the real deal—no gimmicks, just straightforward, unfiltered EMO laid bare.

Japanese label Rufen Publishings is listed as a co-release partner, but ordering overseas has driven up the retail price. I realize this was a dumb move, but if you're buying other records from 3LA and shipping costs get waived, or if the total works out, please consider picking it up.

ドイツのCagesによる2025年最新アルバム、前作よりも圧倒的に照準が定まっており開き直りの00年代激情スタイルへ突き進んでいる。
また結構RAWな要素が強調されつつもメロディとドラマ性のある楽曲をダイナミズムを生み出す演奏で表現していく。マジでギミック無しの王道、裏表なしの曝け出しのEMO。
共同リリース元に日本のRufen Publishingsも名を連ねているが海外へオーダーしてしまい販売価格が高くなってしまった。バカなことをしたと思うが、都合が合えば買ってください。
