Musical style

Japanese music website Jame World commented that Disorder is "a mish-mash of genres, sounds and styles all brought together", living up to its name. It also said that the album is "earth-shatteringly loud, aggressive and can feel borderline psychotic at times."[3] Disorder is classified as a nu metal and punk rock album with some elements of hip-hop and jazz. The story of "Shichigatsu Youka" is a sequel to the story of the debut single "Wakaremichi".[4]

Commercial performance

Disorder reached number 19 on Oricon Albums Chart and remained on chart for nine weeks.[5] John D. Buchanan of Allmusic stated that this is a relatively high ranking for an independent band's debut album.[6] Sold 14,883 copies while it was on the chart.[7] "Zakurogata no Yūutsu" reached number 23 on Oricon Singles Chart.[8]
