The best thing to do is come back to this in a few weeks/months. I can imagine people's opinions will have changed wildly by then

Opinions. 

Imagine my face when I woke up and both the album and band thread had 10+ people posting only to find out it's people talking about Gene "Long Dong" Wong.

Nah we use romaji around here
shitto o rippu kure!!
shigoto de kikitai!

it's the tower of babel hun x

which picks up on the cringey-ass "between heaven/hell" purgatory concept from the utafumi piv

i am not a big fan of previews or samples. to be frank, i dont really care if there are samples or not.
for very few cases in the past, i listened to the samples waaaay too much before the real thing came out,
which it end up making the real deal an ancient in spite i have not listened to the whole record.
i think dogma was one of them..maybe add a couple of few
 
i am, however, very looking forward of next week's wednesday
 
 

Idk man a band in Japan where they’re willing to put the band on hiatus so they can maintain their lineup without replacing her - I kind of wish there were more situations like this 

kinda don't want samples at this point
 
I'm gonna go in blind
 
just kidding I'll listen to the samples the second they appear because I'm a weak fool

It would be pretty sweet if they would do a MUCC style year of re-releases for their 20th anniversary 

If you’re looking for nothing but praise then there’s always the YouTube comments. 

The Truth come out. Does Life is Pain?

Artists should refrain from talking about what their new album is going to sound like, because most of the time they’re full of shit. 

“Uroboros", the seventh full-length album from Japan's DIR EN GREY, sold around 6,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 114 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD debuted at No. 1 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.”
 
Mofos should have thanked me. 

^ re-ordered / fixed

What do you expect when you drop four paragraphs of pretentious interpretations, then insert an edit insulting everyone for not discussing an album cover more seriously? 

all this for some shitty japanese nu-metal 

I can't tell if I like it more or less than the pink monkey man or naked green alien butt artwork covers of past years.

That is what I'Ve been craving for all this time...
Traditional vk Diru will be always best diru

considering we'll hear the new dir en grey album covered by at the very least the 13teen, there always be an opportunity to appreciate exactly same music with better or at least different titles!

I was expecting people to not be so damn negative. This topic is six pages of snarky comments and it's exhausting to read. Dir en grey is not the world's most perfect band, but we could all do with more positivity.

Reading this, I'm so glad that I absolutely have no ear for music lol
I'd never be able to tell if a song is good or bad in its mixing, or if the drums are flat or whatever else could be wrong with a song

whenever people complain about dir sounding the same since like 2012, i always imagine what'd people say if they sounded as stale as lynch lmao

their new album preview legit sounded all like songs i've heard before, with just different notes in the melodies 

"Ihate. Myself. For being so uselsess. Ihate. Myself. For being so useless. Ihate. Myself. For being so useless."
 
"come on baby. ret's pray togedurrr."

Length of tanuki threads about the length of their p-
 
Also, how many "Come to Brasil" comments there are on YT.
