Lyric

This is the sixth album by The Side Effect X, a rare concept album for the 21st century, subtitled "Love and War." It marks our first new work in two years since the previous album in June 2022. Although new songs kept emerging, recording and mixing progressed slowly, resulting in two years of continuous production. During this period, the world was overshadowed by grim news such as the war in Ukraine, Israel's Gaza invasion in the Middle East, and the assassination of the Prime Minister in Japan, all of which significantly influenced the tracks on this album. The extended production period impacted the number of songs, and before we knew it, there were 18 tracks. In the era of streaming, we have the opportunity to release it as a single album. However, emotionally, it feels like a double album. Nothing would make us happier than knowing the songs we've crafted with care become a part of your lives.
