Nah, MASTURBATION is too mainstream... everyone is doin' it nowadays. Come up with something like HIZAKI and the Dick Palmer Quartet.

Score: | When mediocre is a step up for a band, you know they're in the corner FADELESS is the result of two flop albums backed by a hefty budget from a label that desperately wants something by this band to stick. It's a throwback to an older era for the sake of appealing to fans who don't like dial-up in their GazettE, and as such it gets caught up in retracing the footsteps of yesteryear instead of starting from square one. In short, it is exactly the song we've always wanted but never wanted realized. Now we have to take off our rose-tinted vision correcting glasses and contend with the fact that the GazettE were possibly always this mediocre with the occasional stroke of genius. I can enjoy FADELESS because it's exactly what Ruki said we would get: a 2013 STACKED RUBBISH clone complete with all the gimmicks. It still goes down better than anything on TOXIC or DIVISION, mostly because the rebranded alternative metal sound called "Gazerock" is safe at it's core and I know what I'm getting myself into when I indulge in my guilty pleasure. So why so low? Well, that would be the fault of the two other tracks on this release. QUIET is a waste of five minutes of your life, lacking the buildup of tension and emotion critical to a successful GazettE ballad. It meanders on aimlessly, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing. It's more contrived than Cassis, more subdued than Nakigahara, and feels like PLEDGE with all the interesting bits stripped out. It's the worst ballad they've ever done by a wide margin. FORBIDDEN BEAVER is a step down even from that. The lyrics are almost entirely in Ruki's slurred English about some raunchy, sexual subject that probably looked better on paper than it sounds on CD. I also caught a bit of DIVISION poking the tip in here and there, which makes the entire song sound confused because it doesn't know what it wants to pull influence from more. You can safely skip both of these songs. I'll just pretend that they're saving all the good songs for the album and they needed a single to generate the appropriate hype.

They also announced the tracklist for the album: Limited: 01.VANISH 02.ZERO ONE 03.夏の行方 (Natsu no Yukue) 04.赤裸々ララ (Sekirararara) 05.ASTERIOS 06.Teddy 07.Chocolate Prayer 08.未成年 (Miseinen) 09.SEASONS 10.ANSWER DVD: ZERO ONE PV and Making of Regular: 01.VANISH 02.ZERO ONE 03.夏の行方 (Natsu no Yukue) 04.赤裸々ララ (Sekirararara) 05.ASTERIOS 06.Teddy 07.Chocolate Prayer 08.Place 09.未成年 (Miseinen) 10.I swear 11.SEASONS 12.ANSWER I love that they didn't include all their singles in it, but I find weird that they included ANSWER xDD

Let's see... 1. FADELESS A classic "gazerock" track. I am pretty surprised since expected a lot worse! 7/10 2. QUIET This song gets boring quickly. 4/10 3. FORBIDDEN BEAVER Another one which gets boring quickly,but a bit better than the previous one. 5/10 Overall Well,I expected a lot worse,but a part of me was expecting a lot more. FADELESS is the only decent track. I think that Gazerock is now dead. 5/10

Meh is all I have to say haha.
