It's hard to believe anyone worth their words would consider this piece of work by Sakamoto the 'one to skip'. It is also considerably puzzling that anyone would rate 'Smoochy' or 'Soundbytes' higher than 'Sweet Revenge'. 'Sweet Revenge' is truly sweet indeed. Intelligent, inventive; Sakamoto takes advantage of using a musical style that is both complex and approachable at the same time. It wouldn't be hard for anyone to enjoy simply as background music but with Sakamoto, the surface is just the beginning. Lyrically, he slides in weighty concepts and spiritual enlightenment into this package that is at first just a pretty face. 'Same dream, same destination' is such an example. If you don't spend time with this piece, you won't get all that it offers.'SR' is possibly Sakamoto's finest hour in this genre of exploration.
