I just tried out Merry's new album and only liked one of the new songs. 
I also tried out SID's new album, not even ONE song felt memorable to me...

And my once favorite band "Nogod" also released an album recently, tried it and hell, there was only one song that I almost had to force myself to like because I just wanted to like something.

 

Feels like everything in VK is just getting weaker and weaker for each year that passes, and NO i don't want to start a flamewar about this.. but what are some bands that you think completely have lost their "spark" during the last years?

(I can throw in that I tried Kamijo's new single as well, and it was so generic as well.. he has done so much better things in the past...)

 

Yes, I agree with your comments about NoGoD and MERRY's latest for sure – Two bands that I look forward to their newest releases on a continual basis. Though, MERRY's album is becoming a grower for me, and proof has some memorable tracks. SID lost me long ago.

I think for me, the old bands I like are my favorites because they always manage to keep me interested, but I wasn't a fan of lynch.'s last album, and definitely NoGoD's latest work like you said. I think these are just blipps on the radar for them though; with such long careers, there's bound to be records that are better than others.

I got more "washed out D'Ray" vibes from what I heard from their other stuff tbh, but in this song even the guitars remind me of some PRIVATE ENEMY-era tracks. The chorus can rot tho, it kills the song.

I was thinking the same thing. PRIVATE ENEMY vibes, as well as a little MAD SKY in parts.

Hm, was expecting an album after all those YouTube releases. Oh well!

All the people in the photo seem like they have been born out of a videogame character creator. Different but so samey.

 

Still, 3 bands 4 songs? Who's got the short stick? Kinda interested in Chanty and Belle.

I'm also betting on an original song with all the bands.

Really though, these guys look more like a host club in an an eroge game than 3 bands.

Sounds pretty damn good to me.

Thanks for the top-notch Engrish, Ai!

It's a cover album. Quality's always up in the air.

I'm sure I'll have a few favourites after I spin it a few times; and besides, it's always cool to hear some of your favourite songs re-imagined.

I saw these guys once back in 2010 but could never get into them. 

Sad to see another old band bite the dust though.

Not a big fan of their stuff so far, though I did love CPS and MBHI while they were around. Hopefully this album will give a more complete taste of what to expect from these guys.

It's nice to see a FULL TenTen album come out though – I think the last one was CPS' Goodbye to my old avarice if I'm not mistaken?

Nice! They've been quiet for a while, it'll be good to hear some new stuff.

I love how Pura always pays homage to their huge discography of music with their setlists.

They always do a great job of acknowledging their old songs.

This is more generic than I was expecting, hm.

Hopefully they go a little harder in the next full length and do something more memorable.

BLESS THIS MESS ---> "Me-saying-whatever-I-can-to-get-out-of-doing-my-household-chores-kei"

I didn't listen to these guys much (only when  they started out), but at this point I'm a backer of any VK band over 10 years old.

Gah. I miss the before 2010's.

"In incontinence" How did I miss this??? Grandpa-kei takes on a whole new meaning.

Nice! I figured something was going on with Hazuki's cryptic Instagram post this morning.

gt. Hitsugi has joined

Oh yeah, this is great news. I'm sure the first track's an SE, but what if it's another instrumental ???

I think I tried out there first single... 11 years ago and it was way too poppy for me at the time. I wonder what I'd think of them now. Oh well.

This and Adrognyos gets me unnecessarily hopeful, for a, y'know... reintroduction or something.

Pierrot didn't play Sepia? Then who gives a shit?

Fucking love SEPIA. That song brings back so many feels ;"D

Ah, I'm going to have to shell out for this unfortunately D:

Well, I'm behind but this is so good!! Can't believe I get to hear Chisa again : >

I'm kind of lost on the visual concept but that's secondary lol

I don't know what all y'all are bitching about, this is solid.

More creative guitar work than late DEATHGAZE for sure.

LOL I don't know much about this band but that can't be the right decision.

It could be worse, at least all the members aren't doing it like some low budget indie VK "theme"
