Review by Stacy Murphy

Hanatarashi's album Cock Aktion is a chaotic and intense experience that showcases the experimental noise rock that the band is known for. The album is not for the faint-hearted, as it features screeching guitars, pounding drums, and distorted vocals that create a sense of unease and discomfort.

The opening track, "I'm Hanatarashi," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its frenzied guitar riffs and aggressive vocals. "Cooking Papa" is a standout track that features a heavy bassline and a catchy chorus that will have listeners headbanging along.

The album's title track, "Cock Aktion," is a seven-minute epic that builds slowly before erupting into a wall of noise that is both exhilarating and overwhelming. The album closes with "Hanatarashimono," a more subdued track that features haunting vocals and a haunting melody that lingers long after the album has ended.

Summary by Stacy Murphy

Cock Aktion is an album that is not for everyone, but for those who enjoy experimental noise rock, it is a must-listen. Hanatarashi's willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered music is both admirable and fascinating, and Cock Aktion is a testament to their creativity and talent.
