-Following [[wiki:algorithm|ALGORITHM]]'s mostly metalcore sound, GALAPAGOS features a more refined and electronic focused sound compared with his previous releases. Musically, GALAPAGOS saw Utsu-P beginning to incorporate more pop melody and groovy choruses into his traditional sound. With this album, Utsu-P's vocaloid output further became more virtuosic than noisy and took the next step toward widespread acceptance.+Following [[wiki:algorithm|ALGORITHM]]'s mostly metalcore sound, GALAPAGOS features a more refined and electronic focused sound compared with his previous releases.

 ====== Lyrical themes ====== ====== Lyrical themes ======
 Like many of Utsu-P's releases, many of the songs on the album have undertones of social critique. The opening, and effective title track "Is It Bad To Have GALAPAGOS Syndrome?" critique Japan's cultural isolation and xenophobia. "Living Ghost Is Alive" is about wasting one's potential. "Sugarcoat Of Love" explores themes of hiding true emotions and the confusion and friction that could arise from said behavior. "Ramen Shop "GROTESQUE"" is both a critique of social status as well as a song about enjoying the simple pleasures out of life. Like many of Utsu-P's releases, many of the songs on the album have undertones of social critique.
