My assumption is that MISC is what it is because that’s the best type of music to write when you’ve only got a guitarist, a drummer, and a vocalist. And really I can’t imagine what Dimlim sounded like live as three piece playing Chedoara material. When the laptop freezes there goes the bassist and other guitarist.

I’d still say Vitium because it’s only like half an hour. 70+ minutes of Sukekiyo as your first exposure can be a bit much

I’m listening to those bonus disc tracks with guest vocalists, and it’s hilarious because all these people actually pronounce the words. It really emphasizes just how much Kyo doesn’t enunciate or straight up ignores whole syllables.

Vitium

I want to know why every Sukekiyo album on Spotify is a “radio edit version”.

It’s probably just because it’s not actually anyone in DEG making this stuff.

Jin’s voice is like all the popular VK vocalists’ worst aspects rolled into one. The boring part of Ruki with the nonsense of Kyo.

Lol, scrolling thru the comments and people were comparing them to DEG 13 years ago.

The new album doesn’t exist

I think the bigger crime here is that Jin keeps starting new projects but the sound never really changes on a fundamental level. It all comes down to the skill level of who he’s working with at the time. Like honestly to me The Black Swan mostly sounded like “what if Jin wrote music for Deluhi”

Does it? Seems like “oni” is just being used as a metaphor for a predator type.

He also says “ryoujoku no ame” in the 2011 version of Tsumi to Batsu.

That sounded more like 2012 era 12012 to me

Anyone who thinks working 30 hours straight in the studio is okay should probably just work solo. No one should work under those conditions.

This just makes it worse. Why have him continue to perform?

So Mio has been asking to leave since January because of family issues. He’s been diagnosed with bipolar disorder with symptoms that continue to get worse and they’re still waiting until January 2021 to disband? if I were Mio I’d tell Issei to go fuck himself.

Hasn’t Kyo been singing it that way pretty much since the Vulgarism tour though?

I love showing all my dudebro friends the sick skronky riffs in Erode

Best sounding recording ever

That’s kind of impossible. I mean at the end of the day it’s still a matter of preference. Someone could point you in the direction of a song from the remastered Uroboros as an example of a good master, but I personally can’t stand it. Most people here don’t like how The Insulated World sound, but I do. So I don’t know. Someone else can tackle this.

At least we’re past the point where every time a new song with a clean guitar and Kyo singing instead of AALSJKAKSJSKSKKSK-ing was “the band going back to their roots”

I swear like 95% of DEG’s b-sides were live recordings and trashy remixes until they started doing the remake thing. There was children and fukai... and what else?

I don’t give a fuck, Obscure 2011 sounds completely adlibbed. Beat version of Obscure is just the original at a faster tempo a la what’s on UROBOROS - in the proof of the name of living proof of the name proof.

I feel like there’s LESS melody in the new version. Like the melodic guitar line from the part where Kyo sings “the night is cold and long” is barely even there in the new one.
