Mixerr Album Reviews #820

This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Honto by Handsome Jet.

Silly Girl is about this girl who smiles and laughs when she shouldn't. (She giggles too.) You try to take her home, but she won't budge. Take her hand to come home. She knows you want her. She says she can't let you into her life for whatever reason. You are unable to. You want to go into her life. Such a silly girl. You can't seem to get enough of her.

Jet Boogie is a Jet melody of all the songs on the Honto album onto one track. Think of this song as a mega melody. A loud, heavy hard rock mega melody. Handsome JET does their usual chanting and music. 

Kimi no tonari ni is similar to Jet Boogie as it is a loud hard rock/heavy metal mega melody song. Handsome JET himself takes the lead in this song as a vocalist. The volume is set quite loud! 

Dusk is a perfect song to play at night during the peaceful nighttime. Dusk has that peaceful nighttime vibe to it.

Sadly however, Honto was the only album from the Handsome JET project that was ever released. Lead singer Handsome JET died in May 2008 in a traffic accident while riding a motorcycle in Japan. Handsome JET would have taken off to become a national success if the lead singer hadn't died. Handsome JET sang a multitude of songs from Konami originals and licensed covers alike. His real name has never been revealed. He is credited as Handsome JET or Jetto-san (ジェットさん).

I rate this album, Honto, 4/5****!
