Dino and Keller were leading the animal drive in harmony, but they were no longer able to perform under this name by frontier records, and a few years later they immediately started as a band called jelusik. Although they tried to track their movements steadily for several years, it is very regrettable that jelusik's style is quite far from animal drive. Perhaps it is an unspoken pressure, the songs went off the existing line. Also, Dino is prioritizing collaboration with other musicians, and some fans may be satisfied with this, but I don't think this is the right direction. Of course, these are the only musicians based on hard rock, a genre that wants to annihilate. However, you have to think about the influence of bone marrow fans, and this kind of activity is enough to provoke a backlash from existing fans. As there is a track record of ep released under the title Back to the roots, I want them to go back to their roots, and this album shows comprehensive covers. In particular, monkey business and uncle tom's cabin are excellent. However, it is regrettable that their subsequent moves and coverings are regrettable.
