Shinya is so goddamn boring. We’re just gonna “bum tap bum tap” our way thru every fast heavy section from now on, huh. 

World of Mercy is pretty nice though. 

The censored words? They’ve done it before with Mazohyst and Tsumi to Batsu 2011. 

It’s out

Is it only me or does the new single sound bland? Sounds like an album filler song..

There’s still like 8 minutes we haven’t heard yet

I believe James Hetfield attended one of their shows in NYC back in 2008 or so

I was the idiot that bought the last “uncensored” PV collection, and Revelation of Mankind is still censored. 

We probably won’t see the full PV until they release AVERAGE DISAPPOINTMENT next year. 

If anything I feel like Sho uses growls when it fits the lyrics. Kyo, on the other hand, often seems like he just randomly makes noises.

what's the point of the  ''OMG IT'S OVER 10 MINUTES GUYS'' when it's literally not even a minute over the 10 min mark lmao

CUZ EPIC!!!

So what Tool just dropped an album where all the ACTUAL SONGS are 10 - 15 minutes

Still can't agree with it.
While other praise Tue Madsen, I hate how he pushed cymbals up-front (DSS) and made guitars really dry and dull (Uroko).

His mixes for Uroboros and DSS were completely sterile, and Arche was just too flat sounding, like every knob on the mixing board was at the same level. 

Everyone seems to think Insulated World is the worst sounding thing ever, so yeah

How long before Sho wrecks his voice doing those fucking inhales?

If this is meant to be some sort of closure to the Insulated World cycle, I’m going to assume it won’t be on the next album. But when has a song not fitting on an album ever stopped DEG?

Most fascinating thing about that chart to me is that they’re all winter babies

Sounds nice enough now. 

Okay, well I wasn’t aware of the various avenues in which to acquire a live limited. Though, to be honest, buying a copy from someone else exactly supporting the band either.

And that is exactly the reason why I said I'm not uploading Kidoairaku.

 

I doubt he'll send copyright strikes or harass people in the comments like Issei did, but if you uploaded their music to your Youtube channel I recommend taking it down if you want Dimlim to keep making their music accessible to overseas fans.

But Kidoairaku isn’t accessible to anyone overseas. That’s the problem. 

It sounds like an album of old abandoned ideas that were dug up. 

And it pretty much is. 

I think the lyrics are written in a mirrored font in the album booklet.

Last two tracks are awesome! I'm kinda feeling Sho's cleans are a bit worse than they were on the album (he seems to be struggling to sing the pitches he had more ease doing in the album songs, there are some off-pitch moments here and there and his wobbly vibrato sounds a tad grating at times) are but his harsh vocals are better than ever! Loving the random electronic noises on "Raku", they really add to the song (take note Issei!)

I mean, given the production quality of this thing, you’re basically hearing Sho’s raw vocals. Chedoara and Rijin clearly make use of pitch correction. 

Live limited thing sounds like ass, but at least we get to hear Hiroshi’s drums without all the digital polish on them. 

Honestly the production quality (or lack thereof) reminds me of Rentrer en Soi’s early stuff. 

Jesus Christ on a cracker the second disc tells me that Sho thinks Bugaboo Respira is genius and no one had the good sense to tell him he was dumb. 

Yeah, I don’t give a shit about the Gauze version after they started playing that tighter more focused version with the doomier vibe. I’ve been hoping for a studio version ever since but yeah guys I’d love a version of Kuukoku no Kyouon with Sugizo scratching his ass with his violin instead

mazohyst could've easily lost the entire spoken word interlude thing but i guess that's a discussion for the artist thread & not the news forum 

“Hai”

And most of those didn’t even need to be that long. Akuro no Oka could have made its point in about half the time. 

So could Mazohyst, but I guess they did that later.
