I had not heard much of Polysics before I bought this album, but as soon as I received it, they instantly became my all-time favorite. The vocoder use and punk edge to some of the songs are absolutely delightful. They have an energy unmatched by any other band, exemplified here and in their incomparable live shows. "Electric Surfin Go Go", "Kaja Kaja Goo", "Coelakanth is Android" and others are absolutely spectacular, and even the songs that aren't quite as brilliant as those are still more brilliant than most other music I have heard.
When I listen to this album, no matter how horrible my mood, it always manages to pick me up and put a huge smile on my face.

Polysics Or Die!!!! Vista is more fun than whatever you are listening to now. Almost all the lyrics are in Japanese but it doesn't matter. Maybe it's better that way, I don't know. The songs are catchy and don't be surprised when you start bopping around.

The Polysics use lots of electronics, which I don't always like but they make it work. The synthesizers mixed with punk rhythms and pop is an excellent match. It gives Polysics a totally unique sound.

My favorite songs on the album are "Electric Surfin' Go Go", a driving beat and lots of keyboards. "I My Me Mine" which contains the coolest use of a recorder ever and a sweet guitar solo. And "You You You" is just great pop. You will want to sing along even if you don't know the words.

Other songs worth noting are "Baby Bias", "Coelakanth Is Android" and "Black Out Fall Out." Not every song is perfection but the misses are few and all the songs on here are better than listening to the Chili Peppers on the radio one more time.

It's nice when you come across an album you weren't expecting to find and you really like. Polysics Or Die!!!! Vista is that album. For it's originality alone you should get it.

I love this band, and this is the best album of theirs that I've heard so far. Zany, full of energy, and melodic all at the same time, Polysic rocks!

I love the Polysics and I've been looking for their CDs in my area but could only find them online. This product is AWESOME! The case got crushed during shipping but the disc is in perfect condition and plays very well. I'm a very happy customer. (^ -^)b

It's insane and unrelentingly fun. It's loud and occasionally grating. It's something you should try before you buy, 'new wave jacket', 'baby bias' or 'i my me mine' are great starting points.

This Vista version is a release for the North American market. Lots of good songs. Great choice for the Polysics newbie. A better choice would be the CD which comes with a DVD of some videos and live concert songs.

This is a great cd! If you like Charge! by the Aquabats GET THIS.
It is all japanese though, for those of you who do not know that! I like the old mixes of the songs, but this is still good.
