NEW ALBUM

THE INSULATED WORLD

NEW SCREENSAVER

Wasn't Clever Sleazoid the last time they rerecorded a single for an album? Every time since it's just been a remaster, like Hageshisa to... (WET TOWEL Mix).

What are the odds that the album is better mastered than Ningen? I’m going to be very disappointed if this sounds like a burned CD from 2004. 

No, it's fine. Keep it up and he'll get the hang of it.

She has an active blog on Tumblr. I like to check it out now and then.

Kyo’s artistic peak was when he was posing for photo shoots in restrooms.

There is no meaning to this video.

TAKUMI is deep lore. I wonder where they hide him during lives. 

No way. Is that a reference to the old footage of Die hanging out with Slipknot?

Buck-Tick is always making new music though. DEG makes old music every 3-4 years.

I don't see these guys breaking up. They're entering a sort of X Japan perpetuum. It's just going to get more and more embarrassing from here.

Kaoru should go back to the Tony Iommi cosplay. Shinya should grow a beard. 

Hageshisa's single is probably the best mixed song I've heard from them, but it has never worked well live. I don't know why they like to shoehorn these singles into their lives as soon as they come out and then force them for years.

No. Shinya can't tell the two songs apart apparently.

I wonder if Kyo can borrow some synths from Sukekiyo. 

You can tell he just wanted to go home at that point. "AAAASSS SOOOOONG"

I wonder if the Utafumi live was more a label decision than anything. 

This compression really bums me out. Is this 2005?

Ash is neat but I can’t get over Shinya’s mechanical TAKATAKATAKATAKA for most of the song. The omitted intro sounds makes me sad too, especially since they’re so weak when they do come in. ppthhh pt pt pt pthh

Even with a new sound team they're using the same old loudness wars production.

For their 25th release, Ningen Wo Kaburu, Dir en grey has hired Brian Gardner from the United States of America, who was the mastering engineer of such big artists as Madonna, Eminem, Katy Perry, Linkin Park and Michael Jackson. 

 

In addition to Brian, they have also enlisted the British engineer Dan Lancaster, who has previously worked on the rock band BMTH. He emphasises to make songs with a worldwide popularity.

That Utafumi live is ROUGH.

I'm starting to fear they may have cut (or severely truncated) the intro to Ash. Then again I'm only basing this off of the preview and the shorter runtime.

Maybe Shinya somehow can't tell the difference between the two songs.
