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. 

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

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

DEG did it for years. Maybe Dimlim will eventually go back and re-record the Issei stuff so it doesn’t sound like everyone in the band fell down a tin foil staircase while they were playing 

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. 

i'm only hyped abt toshiya's earrings.

Zetsuentai was tired as fuck. I was hoping they were done trying to chase Vinushka. 
 
As long as new single doesn’t do the same old pretty melody HEAVY RARRRGH drop again. I guess.

Retsu probably just got tired of dealing with Issei’s train wreck songwriting.

Kaoru looks like a cross between a 1930s DC villain and the uncle nobody wants to invite to the picnic. 

Shinya’s problem is that he’s fucking boring when the band gets heavy. Sure he plays fast, but he’s barely doing anything. 
 
Now listen, Shinya’s hands do some creative things. I love his tom patterns, and he usually has some great fills. When he’s in a groove he sounds awesome. Now kick things up a notch; he starts to rely on this very basic kick, snare, kick, snare pattern that’s almost like what you play when you’re just learning to play blast beats. He tried to be more varied during for the DSS stuff, but he couldn’t pull that shit off consistently and started scaling it back for lives. 
 
Bottom line: Shinya’s feet suck. I guarantee you he wasn’t gung ho about the band’s heavier direction, and he was probably like “whatever, fuck you guys. Still gonna play like it’s 1999”.

WHO?!

Arche was the reason I temporarily stopped listening to the band, The Insulated World is why I came back. Arche isn’t bad but there’s nothing going for it. In total it’s an album with cool parts but nothing holds it together for me maybe because there’s so much filler. 
 
Also, let’s stop pretending Kyos vocals weren’t awful around 2013-2015. With Dum Spiro Spero and Arche, Kyo began relying on those falsettos that he can’t reliably hit. They’re all over Arche and when they play these songs live, even songs from DSS, they don’t sound as good as they do on the record because they’re songs crafted in the studio with things Kyo could only do in the studio. 
 
The Insulated World is an album the band can actually perform live, sounds great live, and shows the band at a creative peak no one expected them to hit. TIW is better than Uroboros by a long shot and maybe even DSS largely because they’re dealing with more complicated song ideas. The material is just so much more interesting. The only downside is the production isn’t as great as Uroboros but I tend not to obsess over that stuff. 
 
The Insulated World is great and deserves to be in company with the likes of Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero.

Lime’s voice is what Jin from Nega/Black Swan thinks he sounds like when he sings. 

I actually prefer the remakes of The Final and Kasumi composition-wise, but they have awful mixes that make them sound flat

Sorry, but “it’s blu-ray” is not a reason that can be used to justify it costing $150.  Especially if the CDJapan listing is correct and there’s only one disc.
