Puriwate

Yeah you can really hear it in this cover. It actually surprised me how interesting the guitar really is. I guess they made it too muddy to notice?

I want the single mix but with dies volume doubled on the chorus lol...

Awesome thoughts guys X3 and i wonder if they really will announce and release a 10th album before the depression to _______ tours and the best of album... i know its not unprecedented for them to release albums on a two year cycle. Idk it feels sort of too soon to be feasible?

Wtd., vulgar, uroboros, unraveling i liked all of the songs Dss, arche, marrow, six ugly, kisou i like most of the songs I think diabolos was better as a demo, without the 4 minute repeat Deeper vileness is kind of boring I don't like domestic fucker family Macabre and missa had to grow on me I can't talk about my one thought on gauze because its sacred and i will be murdered lol but i liked that one as well c:

I agree with all of this except utafumis vocals sound way more vk to me than metal personally... More (punk style?) yelling than death growls and shrieking, which was basically dss in a nutshell iirc. It sounds way easier on his voice either way thank god. But yeah i just hear obscure, marmalade, new age type yelling than the dss type screams and growls but thats just my experience

Thank god, i thought i was alone in this XD

Not at all Except for the music videos content

Revelation remix was really nice and unexpected. But yes it looks like you will love it or hate it, the single as a whole. XD

Kukoku actually sounds boring to me without the violin added... Sad to see no one else enjoyed it The live i hated tho lol

It ended up being a new section to the first verse and was actually pretty cool made the song less repetitive as a whole

I want the (before construction) version of everything after hearing dozing green before construction

Piano un deux

reminded me of vulgar as much as utafumi, i kind of assumed they were using tefutefu as a sort of test for whatever the new album will sound like, and thats why ita a bonus disc song. I think its great but i also feel like it belongs on arches bonus disc and in the live performances. Kind of like rasetsukoku was on dss bonus and got played live plenty but ofc that was a remake

20 seconds is the length of this songs chorus. I don't think thats what is missing but just so you know 20 seconds is alot in the context of a song especially a short single

20 seconds is actually like 12% of the song. It ends up missing 1/9th of the original when they cut it to what we have in the radio edit. Its more content lost relatively than missing an entire song off of an album

http://www.vkh-press.com/2015/12/interview-kaoru-dir-en-grey-gramercy.html?m=1 In two questions he hints about an album (first mention may have been for utafumi cd) but does that mean we should expect a new album somewhere in early winter?

Simply, I like the heavy use of electronic instrumentals in the last album and more so in this new song. ¢:

I love hearing this evolution of their pseudo symphonic sounds they had started with the symphonic remixes and fleshed out in arche. People who are saying the slow interlude is some 'disjointed idea' didn't hear the kukoku no kyouon esque electronics in both choruses. I wonder if the new album will go full on electricore and have a new member TAKUMI announced on keyboard XD

Like i said earlier, i think its structured similarly and is a natural progression of ideas but it was definitely not recorded with arche. The recording sessions were about 2 years apart almost. It sounds very fresh to me personally but most of the mids are drowned out by the quality of the recordings we have right now. It will be more obviously new sounding when you can actually hear the other 40% of the instruments. Its not a leftover it is a progression is what im getting at.

Didn't kaoru say something in an interview a while ago about a new album in 2017? Anything to that or?

The only reason i feel like utafumi sounds like they carried over some ideas from arche is the way its structured sounds similar and i feel like they are just testing the waters? but the music itself itself sounds extra fresh ¢:

You aren't mistaken i was being facetious lol

Rinkaku was an unraveling preview

Mainly because its still an arche leftover. So its only hinting at their new (or rehashed) direction. Its an in-between album song. Too early to tell exactly how far they are going to go with this until the next single

Actually i think the way he yells with varied voices like on vulgar instead of just deep deep growls then high high screams like on dss and uroboros is what makes iy sound so much like the old vk crazy vocal style. Its like he tried it a little on arche but now it seems like the next album will sound way more visual kei and less metal than any of the last 4 albums
