Kembali, Butterfingers' brand new album possesses a more mellow approach to music with their folk-sounding melodies and simple lyrics, compared to previous material that's heavily laden with metaphores and catchy riffs. This is not to say the album isn't any good; in fact, it may prove to be their best acomplishment thus far. Kembali is available now in all record stores and retails at RM21.90.

Check out Butterfingers with 'Maharani' at their media conference at Planet Hollywood, KL:

yeah, ok. whatever. HUJAN!!!
band ni, band legend. tapi, memang betul lah. ni masa untuk band2 lain. grunge to sangat '90an.
Hey Kamal,
I guess that you're living in the 90's because Butterfingers has long gone put their grunge days behind them. Now, they have transcended other contemporary musicians into becoming their own genre. They only way I can describe them is a fusion of progressive rock & Malay folk. I can dare say that I support Butterfingers to become a national institution.
It's not a comeback. It's a rebirth.
P/S: To rain, Hujan mentah lagi beb. Tu pun org x puas hati (ref: JB) dgn derang.
band otai ke apa, dlm album STD depa tiru line radiohead
'utk seketika ku hilang kawalan diri'....
yelatu...
bassline satu lagu tu pun mcm 'airbag'.
mmg status 'legendary'.
Danial,
Aku setuju dengan Kritik.
Butters ni, as musician, memang diorang boleh main/nyanyi, tapi diorang tu agak kureng kreatif. Aku pun ada dengar jugak bassline airbag & lirik tiru radiohead.
Aku pun rasa macam the band ni suka ikut trend. Kalau Danial rasa diorang tu buat genre sendiri, aku mintak maaf, tapi aku rasa kau memang tak cukup luas dengar variety muzik.
butter nie masukkan elemen muzik melayu dan sgt kreatif.. hujan pun band yg bagus., i admit it,. but masih mentah dan keINDONESIAan....lagunya menjurus kepada indon macam dewa, peterpan such as lagu HIBA??..
. trend yang tidak berkembang..
so we need some new touch up, new idea.. fresh beat.... and there you go...
butterfingers kembali!
support! but it seems the sleeve design is too...er...straightforward?
ek ele....kutuk butterfingers,tp tk sedar..hujan tu lagi la..tiru the strokes kaw2...
Bands like hujan is ripping off bands from the US, butterfingers are at wayyy better...
Bet most of you guys don;t know that Noh (vocalist Hujan) just walked off stage during the bands set at Pesta malam indonesia. The poor guitarist had to take over with the vocals. Talk about a bombastic egoistical-maniac eh??
unless rip-offs are your thing then 'Hey!'
ahaha...dah macam rock star ni
heh,tell me bout it...takde la best mane,attitude je lbih
eh ... if this is about butters, why are you guys giving hujan all this free publicity by discussing them?
not publicity dear gib, it's just that some musically retarded ppl think that hujan deserves more credit than butter who have btw, been in our local industry for a long long time... So with the experience wise and minus the ego... which band do you HONESTLY think is better?? ; )
woah.jgn la marah...of course la hujan's better.ooops! i mean...butters!hahahaha.i dont undrstand why ppl wud wanna compare butters with hujan,i mean,come on la weiiii...hujan copied the strokes,and everybody goes like "wowwwww...this is indie..i LOVE indie.im indie"..wattheFish! its like comparing Coke and ice lemon tea! hahaha
*with
gimme a high-five AhCheng! Sayyy, you aren't that same ahcheng pirated dvd seller from ss2 are you?!?
shhhh! do u mind??? some privacy pls!
they're both good and creative in their own ways. kamu ada band ke?
ade dowh! rock kappakkkk !
Was just reading through the comments and saw someone said hujan is better or some crap like that? i mean seriously do you eat nasi lemak day and night until it made you that stupid? or you'v been living your stupid life under a rock with the name hujan on it? Hujan's vocalist walkin of stage, i outta kick that guys ass after the show for wasting my cash going all the way there to seem em, dont get me wrong it will be a cold day in hell if i ever go see bunch of homos playing instruments
Not much of a Butterfingers fan but i respect that there someone still kickin it grunge style
man, how can some ppl even compare Hujan to any band..? those kids jst started makin music...about what..a year ago? sweet god..dont get me started on ripping off the american Indie rock bands...probably the only thing diffrent about Hujans music, is that its in Malay...thats it..Which is good, being our national lanuage and all, but im sure the vocalist cant speaka The EnGliSH very well..thats why its in malay..Support the local music scene:) Go Go butterfingers!!..u guys are great:)
amen to that
aku rasa pelik la tengok korng macam gaduh hujan vs butterfingers. sebab dua2 pun sebenarnya tak ori. so aku rasa korang sebenarnya gaduh pasal benda lain ni. fan butters mesti geng yang dah macam tua2 sikit kan? lewat 20/awal 30. korang kena sedar time korang dah habis. korang nak jadi hipster, tu zaman dulu2 kawan. yang sapot hujan ni pulak aku rasa memang budak2 lagi muda. ni masa diorang. hujan band zaman sekarang. kalau nak gaduh band otai dengan band baru ni ... aku rasa macam tak kena la. korang ada nampak tak fans search ke wings nak gaduh dengan fan butterfingers? takde kan? sebab fan search dengan wings semua rasa secure dan tak kisah orang kata apa. yang fans butterfingers ni naik darah, aku rasa nampak sangat korang ni masih nak mantain relevant tapi sebenarnya time korang dah habis. biar je lah budak2 ni nak suka hujan.
Hey kritik & kamal!
Thanks for your feedback. I have to agree with u that my variety of music is not that wide (yet) & I don't have a band. After you guys pointed out about the bassline & lyrics from Radiohead (lagu Karma Police from 1997's OK Computer) then I realized that Butters are kind of a rip-off. But to put it in today's context, their evolution from what they were 10-15 years ago should be lauded. I would say that if they're still playing grunge, mesti lagi teruk kena kutuk kan? Their journey is not over yet & I'd hope that they continue what they do best until one day they themselves are defined as a genre (tu baru legendary!).
P/S: Pasal Hujan itu aku ada ikut indie scene semasa & sebenarnya ramai x puas hati dgn penyanyi die Noh sebab die kerek tp aku x tau sejauh mana itu benar lah. Tp nak compare musically, Meet Uncle Hussain lebih original muziknya & Lan tu suara lg unik.
fuck hujan
I know there are a lot of old Butterfingers fan who grew up with their material from the 1.2mg days up to STD. But I have to admit it, I like Butterfingers because of the power of the music, Chrome, Chemistry, Niccotyne, etc etc, and the moshpit. Now with Kembali, I'm not so sure man.
Yes, things change and people evolve, I accept that.
Hujan and Butterfingers are bands playing in different genres with different set of fans. Me myself? I am a fan of both, they make good music, and my ears like it.
Hujan copying The Strokes? So what? With all the sub-genres and genre-mixing nowadays, can you form a band and come up with something that is ORIGINAL? Anybody? You are bound to be compared with some band out there nowadays, but who cares?
If you are good people will buy it. If you are bad with GOOD MARKETING, people will still buy it. Either way, choose one.
I don't think Butterfingers or Hujan are well marketed right? You don't see them appearing on billboards along the highway or in newspaper ads. People like them, they are good.
butter is original... shut the hell up hujan's fans
No dissing the oldies / Butterfingers (surely Noh of Hujan would say that as well)....and leave the kids (Hujan) alone..
hell, just enjoy great music la, good local talent is for everyone..... Can't we all just get along? *hippie vibe*
P.S- wra, ko kutuk orang tua2 ye. Takpa, tunggula usia ko dah lanjut nanti. Bukan nak jadi hipster beb, just bengang band terchenta dari zaman kekanak kena kutuk dek bebudak hingusan...

To kenchill,
If you want something ORIGINAL, check out The Otherside Orchestra. It's the most unique I've ever heard.
yang tua harus dihormati..yang muda harus disayangi...budi bahasa budaya kita....buat ap nak gadogado ..ku respect habis butterfinger pasal diorang sambut cabaran pm zaman dr. M untuk membangkitkan melayu ..coz masa tu rakyat jelata layan sangat lagu shahrukhkhan, lagu jiwangindon happeeee!! memanglah first diorangbawak laguorang putih tapi lagu diorang status antarabangsa pun ada main tau!!jgn mainmain ngan legend..diorang memang MALAYSIAN's pride....international brand tapi made in malaysia..layan habis dari transcendence sampe kembali....fulawei!tapi yang mendukakan hati ku, ada pihak yang dasar edan emboh engak ngerti anak sopo eku..menaktakan butterfinger sebuah band indon!! pastu ada yg menyatakan diorang baru budakbudak...rasa aku diaorang yang membangkitkan lagu melayu cuma berehat sebentar dan mencari masa yg sesuai utk menawan balik industri musik
hujan aku pun layan jugak.....abg aku dan puak kerabatnya ada sebuah organisasi mencari local band dari internet(kamek dari sarawak oii).band hujan nie aku dah layan habis dari demo version sampai ke .......diaorang pun respect butterfinger sebagai otai..tak caye korang tanya noh!
HAHA! hey, owh.jewl ...respek sama lu !
"..ku respect habis butterfinger pasal diorang sambut cabaran pm zaman dr. M untuk membangkitkan melayu ..coz masa tu rakyat jelata layan sangat lagu shahrukhkhan, lagu jiwangindon happeeee!!..."

gua dgr butter dr gua form 2 lg..hujan??sapa eh??da musim ujan ke skang ni??kehkeh..
tk pyahlah laga2 diorang.ini semua percambahan idea dan pengalaman hidup msing2,tang tiru2 tu aku lebih suka katakan itu adalah inspirasi atau penghormatan untuk idola dorang jadi di selit sedikit line yg korang cakap tak ori.semua band di dunia ni meniru do,tinggal kreatif diorang tu sampai ke tidak ke otak dan jantung ngko...
Butterfingers dulu pun Fuck OAG...haha
butters are way much much more creative when designing(too much designing in my life) their songs..
bought their KEMBALI and i'm having fun listening to their songs. =))
i like listening to old bands. butters is definitely one of my favourite old bands also. it's cool seeing people in their age still doing music.
butter music forever......i prefer with butterfingers...hayati setiap lirik butterfingers since 1.2mg...maka wujudla hujan...
hehe....sonok gadoh2 geng?....ahak ahak....sampai biler pun x abis weh.....no matter hujan ke, BF ke, XPDC ke, sheila majid ke, they all fall under the same category = MUSIC.....
