Honestly quite shocked at DSS topping the best/favorite polls. also, Arche being way more disliked than I thought!

A majority of the stuff Issei wrote is noisy trash anyway.

Yeah I don’t know. That’s why I don’t think rights are the issue here. They WERE playing pre-Chedoara stuff after Issei left, so I think it’s just a choice they’ve made as they move away from that material stylistically.

If Issei pulled a cease and desist on his compositions being played live then he’s a bigger dick than I thought. It’s not likely though. They probably just don’t want to play that shit anymore.

Even if that’s the case, rights don’t affect live performances

Yomi’s technique always seemed odd to me. It’s like he’s holding his breath while he sings.

Your favorite bands probably hate each other more than you think. DEG has the right idea.

Certainly would explain why the art for Final Train just looks straight up like it was yanked from Final Fantasy, font and all. It also seems extra weeb-y that they didn’t just call the song Saishuu Ressha. Just go all in, dipshits.

Because it is Squall Leonheart

To be fair, Chedoara and Rijin are on iTunes and streaming services.

To open up this can of worms again, I understand Retsu’s point about illegal uploads, but using a track from Kidoairaku as an example softens it. Unless they’re still sitting on a ton of unsold copies or it’s suddenly become commercially available, complaining about it now doesn’t make much sense.

I skimmed the first two pages of this thread and now I’m dead

Unless one of the guys has their own studio space, yeah. It’s way more time and cost effective to do everything from a laptop in your bedroom than it is to rent out a space to record. It’s pretty common now.

Retsu posted a new plug-in that he just bought, so programmed bass and drums for the new album is highly likely.

No bassist is ridiculous. Do they have bass via playback now or is there just straight up no bass at all? Bottom line is exactly what Duwang said: they need to get their shit together.

The problem is that it seems like Dimlim has no fucking idea what they’re doing and they most likely don’t have the funds to hire someone to do it for them. I don’t know. Slapping your music on iTunes and streaming services with little fanfare and tweeting out that you want to tour overseas probably isn’t quite enough. I fear the worst really.

If the Vanitas shirt is still available, I’d like one of those. If not the Aizou ni tsuki is cool. Maybe the shigarami towel too. I imagine an American large is like an XL over there?

Honestly I like that trash can, but $80?

Is that the Star of David?

In the grand scheme of things every DEG album sounds like sweaty cheeks, so I don’t know why we even continue to have this discussion

I can see the album still coming out, but being a heavily computerized effort. Like it’ll probably just be Sho and Retsu laying down vocals and guitars to save money. Then again its due out in December and it’s nearly October with no real updates about it soooo...

dammit I was hoping shigarami would get a cool shirt.

All you need to know is if Tue Madsen is mixing it’s probably going to sound bad

How many times has Mao used that chorus melody?

This is what happens when you actually work together in a studio and don’t layer shit on just to worry about how you’re actually going to play it later not coincidentally this is why the Marrow songs are better live as well
