Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Seo Taiji explained that because he is curious and wants to try many styles of music, the style on 7th Issue is "sensitive-core, which is hardcore that stresses the melodies. I wanted to bring out the sensitive side, and in particular, I expressed people's pain." The songs touch on social issues, such as sexual discrimination, the music industry, and stalkers.
Instead of performing every instrument himself like he did on his previous two albums, Seo enlisted Japanese musicians J (Luna Sea), K.A.Z and I.N.A (both from hide with Spread Beaver) to contribute to the album among others. Guitarist Top and drummer Heff Holter would continue as part of his backing band for several years. Strings on the song "0 (Zero)" were arranged and conducted by Takayuki Hattori (Face Music). Many of Seo's fans have noted that the whole CD sounds like one very long song. This is because most of the songs are written in dropped C tuning with similar chord structures.
